USB Loader GX v2.0
A few cosmetic changes along on this rev:
*Removed unused resources
*Fix a compile warning
*Fixed crash on formatting drive to WBFS
*A few source/function movement from one file to another
*Renamed global game settings to "Loader Settings"
*Ignore sector size of wbfs partitions in MBR (some lazy Partition Manager don't change it). Reading it from the partition header now.
*Several small bug fixes and cleanups
*Fixed "Bannersound + BG Music after it" mode
*Updated language files
*Added initialized too all the cheat variables (that was bad...i wonder how it didn't go wrong)
*Corrected several theme texts (x, y position mistype)
*Added "Default" button to theme downloader to reset the theme
*Fixed bug in loading language file with fresh configs
*Fixed display of theme path in custom path options
*Fixed rockout reset after leaving the GameWindowPrompt
*Added limit to page indicators to 5 and rotate them
*changed fat/ntfs/ext installer to use the header title as foldername instead of wiitdb title (this is the way it is in the wbfs managers)
*Fixed language changing for wiitdb titles / coverdownload even without available .lang file which is loaded
*Added reload of game titles on language change
*Added check for valid config files. If config file is not valid it will not be used. Current valid configs are R1031 to all. (You configs will be reseted with this. If you want to save them, move them and merge them afterwards manually.)
*Fixed possible crash on mounting
*Changed default settings for device free space display to off, because fat32 partitions are very slow on that. Added a warning when on FAT partition and trying to enable this option.
*Updated langauge files
*Added ignore of partition type and detect WBFS/FAT/NTFS partitions from their boot record sector (damn lazy partition managers which are not always editing the MBR)
*Added Free Space show option to the settings (can be enabled even on FAT partitions)
*Moved partition free space determination to a ThreadedTask because it takes up to 10 seconds on FAT. This speeds up the build up of the main game menu (on start and on change from other menu) on all partitions.
*Removed double "waiting for slow HDD" screens
*Fixed scrollbar in settings
*Removed the console loading screen (no more console at all)
*Complete rework of device handle. You need to reset all your custom paths for this rev.
*Support for writing images/settings/... on any writable partition (FAT/NTFS/EXT). (Theoretically you can run the loader from NTFS only without the need of any other partition or SD if run from new forwarder channel, for example)
*Support for Primary/Logical partitions and GUID Partition Table (GPT)
Forwarder Channel in last revision was not using IOS58 (not sure about AHBPROT)
Here a corrected version (thx to Cyan):
http://www.mediafire.com/?a9y3ywqcm4v3lz3
*Added option for file splitting on install. 2GB, 4GB and on ntfs/ext2/3/4 partitions no splitting at all option.
*Fixed the install dir naming patterns option for fat32/ntfs/ext2/3/4 game installs
*Changed/Fixed Home Menu exit to loader / shutdown
*Added reload of game list on SD button click
*Fixed language file loading on startup
*Changed browse for theme path to file browser instead of OnScreenKeyboard
Several settings were changed in this revision. It is recommended to reset the configs before using this rev.
Forwarder Channel Update:
*Use of IOS58 and AHBPROT
*Complete change of forwarder. Using same as on WiiXplorer now.
*Looking for dol in every primary fat/ntfs partition in the known paths (/apps/usbloader_gx/ and /apps/usbloadergx/). (Booting loader from ntfs will be usefull once images and settings can also be stored on ntfs.)
Here is a download link for the channel:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r11bwt1occlanmk
The channel will be uploaded to the download section later when it is thoroughly tested.
*Fixed Font loading. The font.ttf is loaded from the path with .thems if it exists there.
When a Theme is loaded and a font.ttf file exists in the defined "Image-Folder:" than this font.ttf will override all others. This ensures support for themes with special fonts.
*Fixed double count on playcount bug
*Updated libext2fs to git snapshot 2010-12-24
*Added proper close of all file systems where the games are loaded from (FAT32/NTFS/EXT)
*Fixed hang bug when reloading into the IOS set in the individual game settings with that (reload to 223, 224, 245, ...)
*Added proper deinitialize of usb before starting game / exiting app. This is supposed to fix Blackops multiplayer mode (Did not test it. I don't have that game.)
*Added Wii message board update (Playlog) (thanks to dkosmari for a starting point). This feature can be enabled/disabled in the global settings. Default is ON.
*Removed unused sources.
*Added sources of the custom libs to the branches
*Fixed crash when switching from list layout to grid/carousel layout
*Removed 1:1 copy option because its meaningless and almost the same as installing all partitions
*Fixed install partition selection. This option needs a reset. Go to settings and reselect your option for this.
*Fixed schinese and tchinese language modes (filename bugs. has to be schinese.lang and tchinese.lang like on SVN)
*Fixed bug in sound buffer circle
*Fixed incorrect behaviour of x-flip when selecting system like (thx Cyan for the patch)
*Accept ios revision 65535 for Waninkokos IOSes (thx to PPSainity for pointing it out)
*Merged the new theming style branch into trunk. Just as a reminder: ALL old themes will not work until the themers did port it to the new style!
*Removed old theme style completely
Theme example:
The example file of the theme is the Default.them file. It can be found in the SVN trunk.
Change in loading of themes:
When selecting a theme now a list of all .them files in a folder is displayed. The image folder of that theme has to be in the same folder as the .them file. The image path is defined in the head of the .them file in the line with "Image-Folder: Example\n".
*Fixed bug mounting a wbfs partition which was formatted from an ext partition
*Rewrote the parental control feature. Removed loading pin or settings from the Wii Settings. Parental control is now completely managed in the loader from the settings selected and the password set.
*Saving password in config file is now encrypted
*Added loop to wait for usb when reloading the cIOS before game start
The parental control feature is filtering games like following when usb loader is locked:
level 0 (everyone 0+) > shows only games with lvl 0
level 1 (childs 7+) > shows games with lvl 0, 1
level 2 (teens 12+) > shows games with lvl 0, 1, 2
level 3 (mature 16+) > shows games with lvl 0, 1, 2, 3
level 4 (adults only 18+) > shows all games (lvl 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
level 4 is default when creating new configs
*added a temporary workaround for selecting favorites when no favorites were setup for grid and carousel layout because of some serious problem in there which i have to look for later.
*Reworked complete cover/discart download function (seems a lot faster to me now)
*Fixed problem with switching games in game prompt and then going to the game settings. Was always the first selected games settings.
*Fixed crash when clicking the DVD icon
*Fixed save of lock/unlock state in parental control
*Fixed install menu messup (not return to right menus)
*Removed unnecessary save of settings on every mode switch
*Several cleanups and fixes
*Removed mountMethod 3
*Rewrote complete main menu function
*Moved ext2/3/4 disc cache to mem2 as on FAT/NTFS (added ext2 as custom lib due to that)
*Added missing header files from R1011 for ext support
*Fixed crash on Numpad when pressing a button
*Fixed boot of WiiMC
*Changed SVN line ending to LF (Unix style)
*Added support for EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 file systems:
You can boot games from this file systems too now. Works the same way as FAT32/NTFS.
Just put your games into drive:/wbfs/ with the known supported folder names.
*Fixed loading languages
*Fixed wiitdb download
*Changed sorting/favorite stuff. You can now have favorite mode and abc/playcount/ranking sorts as well
*Change to not allow FAT32/NTFS partitions with Waninkokos cIOS Rev < 18
*Fixed settings path to default to the boot device
*Set default cIOS to 222 now if no config exists.
*Removed support for Hermes v2 and v3 (only v4+ is supported now)
*Fixed game settings saving
*Maybe more i don't remember
*Fixed Toy Story 3 boot bug
*Changed IOS limits. Now allowing all IOSs from 200-255 to support more Waninkoko cIOS slots. You will get a warning if you don't have an IOS installed and try to choose it.
*Changed boot process to wait for USB in GUI mode.
*Changed headless ID stuff (actually was in last rev)
*Added a GameTitles class for WiiTDB titles and fixed parental control (probably crashed before)
*Removed cfg.c completely now. Nothing left in it.
*Moved per game lock feature from game statistics to the individual game settings. It is not a game statistic ;).
*Added support for older Hermes IOS too (rev 2 and rev 3)
*Changed Alternative Dol Browser to get the filelist (fst) with functions from libwbfs (like banner sounds) instead of from an emulated disk. This should fix all the weird crashes with it.
* removed duplicate 002 parameter in constructors
* pass setting parameter directly to the patching functions instead of making another variable just for this
* probably broke something
* change returnTo patch a bit. now it can be run on dol sections instead of the whole thing at once.
* apply the patch for alt dols
* only apply patches to main.dol if we aren't booting an alt dol
*Changed the image resource manager to only be used for images from memory (embedded images) and not those from a device. It used the same cover/disc image for multiple game.
*Moved all related global settings to a settings class. one for themes and individual games will follow. Probably broke some settings or theme loading, we can deal with that later and fix when someone discovers bugs.
* in the global settings you can select any 0x10001 title that is actually installed in the nand. in the game settings, you can decide whether or not to use the global setting for that 1 game.
* only get the list of shit installed on the wii 1 time and use that list globally for stuff like checking if something is installed, getting channel names, getting title versions
* remove unused files
* probably fuckup svn merge
*Replaced all text related stuff with the ones from WiiXplorer (FreeTypeGX/GuiText/...). Some alignments might need be adjusted or maxWidth in pixel of some text parts. Also the text scrolling needs to be adjusted.
