8e962e6187 *Optimized the automatic usb port switching. It is now a lot faster on mounting if partitions are FAT/NTFS/EXT because no port switch is required on WBFS_Open() or WBFS_Close() on those partitions.
*Disabled use of custom paths on other than SD if automatic port switching is enabled. This could damage a partition and we don't want to take that risk. So if you want to enable automatic usb port switching than you have to set all paths on sd:/ first now. Also when in this mode, only sd:/ will be available for setting custom paths.
*Changed setting of usb port switching to a more failsafer way.

NOTE: To all that did already enable the automatic usb port switching and have custom paths on some usb partition. Change this please or else your usbs filesystems are in danger. You have been warned!

d625c5adfc *Added support for using USB port 1 (ONLY ON HERMES CIOS)
*Added support for using both USB ports at once (ONLY ON HERMES CIOS)

Big thanks to rodries for writing the necessary ehcmodules!

NOTE: You can change port of USB device in the Loader Settings. The loader currently does not support loading configs off port 1 (only from port 0)

If you select to use both usb ports the loader will switch between ports automatically, on demand. It is not possible to use both ports at once currently. Right now the wiilight blinks each time it switches the port. I will talk to rodries and see if we can disable it. Using the "both ports" option only makes sense in combination with "Multiple Partitions" option. In that case all games on all partitions from BOTH HDDs will be loaded. I think I don't have to say that switching between ports and loading all games is slower than normal mode with one port only in use. You might wanna just set one port and switch yourself when you need to. Well the option for both ports (automatic switching) is there for the lazy ones who don't like to hit the settings button ;).

6f63f9cf05 *Prepare source code for devkitPPC r23 - replaced removed directory functions
*Added additional sort mode - "Sort by number of players"
*Added support for multiple game partitions.

Note: You can activate multiple game partitions support in the Loader Settings. When it is active, all games from all partitions will be listed in the game list. Partitions can be mixed up as you wish wbfs/fat/ntfs/ext. When the multiple partitions feature is activated than the partition in "Game/Install Partition" setting is taken for new game installation. Also the free space amount will be shown from that game installation partition. This will be clickable in the future listing all partitions with their sizes.
