*Fixed cutoff of box cover when it is too near and increased zoom range of the box cover. Reworked the move/zoom of the cover.
*Change wiimote icon when grabbing and dragging the box cover to grab icon
*Fixed bug in homebrew browser (crash)
*Changed a few default GX view configurations
*Use proper size of wiimote pointer image instead of hard coded values
*Reworked scroll/B hold movement stuff from the game list layout
*Removed buildtype.sh and added the define directly in makefile. No need to make an extra header for that.
*Changed makefile a to allow different IOS build modes. The build IOS is used at the start of the loader to load the settings under. If the build IOS is the same as the settings boot IOS the startup is a lot faster since no IOS reload is required.
To build yourself a special IOS build version type:"make IOS=XXX" where XXX is the number of the IOS (CSettings.cp has to be recompiled for that at least). If nothing is defined IOS222 is taken. There will now be always two versions supplied (IOS222 and IOS249 version). If another build is required build it yourself. You can see the revisions until now as the "IOS249 build version" since they behaved like that.
*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.
*WiiMote desync problem fixed
*Removed "free space warning prompt" on fat32 partitions now
*Changed default free space option to ON
*Remove id button on other layouts than list view
*Moved carousel arrow position to theme file
*Made the ProgressWindow for game installation more accurate
*Added displaying newly installed games (marked as new) on favorite list, so you don't have to change to full list when installing new games. (Thanks Cyan for the patch)
*Lot's a small fixes
*Added WDM Menu on game start. You can set it in the alternative DOL option (one new option there). The menu lists all DOLs on the disc and if a wdm file is provided in the WDM path (configurable in the settings) than the dol parameter and dol replacement name will be taken from the wdm. The DOLs that are not listed in the WDM but exist on the DISC will be listed at the end of the list.
*Added avoid of multiple app cleanup when game fails to boot
*Changed libfat to use FS info sector on FAT32 partitions. This speeds up the free space information getting to instant. For that the FS info sector has to have correct values. The values of all partitions where homebrews were writing to are currently incorrect because the official libfat does not support FS info sector (i submited a patch) (Windows does write it correct though). That is why there needs to be a synchronization of the FS info sector for partitions used with homebrews. For this purpose a new setting was added in the Loader Settings. You can synchronize all your FAT32 partitions on the USB with it once and you are done (if you don't write to that partition with current homebrews). After that you can enable free space display and it will be instant like on WBFS/NTFS/EXT partitions.
WARNING: If you select to use IOS58 and you don't have IOS58 installed, the loader will be really really slow.
*Fixed reseting of Theme/Fonts when pressing the SD Card button. It is now reloading it instead.
*Moved font cache to mem2 (seems to fix the font issues)
*Moved thread start of free space getting out of the constructor (caused a few freezes on start up)
*Added destroy of sound handler when closing app
*Fixed cheat menu to not go over the board of cheat amount.
*Added possibility to make screenshots everywhere in running gui mode (hold Nunchuck Z and press C)
*Fixed bug with nunchuck Z button moving one option up in gamelist/options
*Added Cyan to the credits
*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.
*Fixed endless loop when disc button was selected
*Fixed crash on exit
*Fixed discart download to not download custom/originals if set so in the settings
*Hopefully fixed discart download problem
*Reworked DirList class
*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.
*Rewrote the whole Settings.cpp into 11 classes. Each settings menu has it's own class now
*Reworked the whole sound system. Supported formats AIF/MP3/OGG/BNS/WAV now with no file size limit (streaming).
*Changed button click/over sounds to wav from raw pcm
*Lot's of bug fixes
*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.
*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.
*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.
* 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
*updated libntfs (write fix)
*updated libfat
*lots of changes in the startup code, removed almost everything. This might cause problems for some drives at loading the gamelist and needs to be adjusted later but better this time. more cleanup is needed in main.cpp and will come.
*using libogc sd/usb for config loading and reload to cIOS afterwards
*added missing boothomebrew stuff pune forgot
NOTE: From now on we will be doing a lot of revs which we won't be compiling and releasing. This revs are officially not available for public so don't making issues regarding those revs. Those will be closed right away. We need first to cleanup a lot of crap and update loader to new standards before releasing stuff again.
- Added support for ciosx (yes, including FAT/NTFS) (As always, say thanks to oggzee for this)
- Fixed bug with game specific settings (which *could* end up using other settings than you expected)
- Removed fat_ffs for now (save game emulation might conflict with FAT/NTFS support, we have to test this)
- Maybe more, but I forgot them, I think
*Cache size reduced which results in a bit slower writing but is more stable
*Fix for the gameinstaller ProgressWindow
*Added NTFS unmount on exit
WARNING:
The USBLoaderGX installer seems to be broken in some places. There are sometimes random freezes or crashes even on fat32. Those arent bad on a fat32 filesystem but can damage the whole partition on ntfs. Using the installer on ntfs is still very risky. You have been warned!
* Updated to Hermes usb storage code
* Fixed some bugs in ntfs while writing timestamps, resulting in different hashes (dimok)
* Fixed codedump when switching partitions (issue 1454)
* Fixed graphical glitch on 4:3 screens, where the prefetch cover was visible in the coverwall
* Fixed a bug with installing games, due to the switch to C++ (dimok)
* Fixed bug in http.c (where realloc *might* choose another address, thanks Dr. Clipper)
* Added support to /wbfs/Game Title [GAMEID].wbfs files (thanks oggzee)
* Fixed bug in cfg_cleanup when switching partitions
* Added BGM class again (for playing background music, requested by dimok)
* Added settings for background music again
* Fixed bug in MEM2 class (returning an invalid handle when no memory could be allocated, thanks to dimok)
* Updated DIP module to OpenDIP (report bugs with this one if you've found them, but report them here: http://github.com/spacemanspiff/odip-plugin)
* Added initial code for cios 222 rev5 (THIS DOES NOT WORK YET! DON'T FILE BUGS ON THIS ONE!)
* Added fatffs module by Hermes and Waninkoko (THIS DOES NOT WORK YET! DON'T FILE BUGS ON THIS ONE!)
* Fixed bug in Settings, which resulted in a crash when the partition was changed.
* Added caching for gamelist entries, so switching between different screens/sort options/display modes should be faster
* Changed defines in ehc_module, in order to prevent clashes with new defines in rev5
*Startup is now using libogc usbstorage for loading configs
*Improved storing gametitles from wiitdb with less memory usage
*Added freeing of the memory allocated for wiitdb titles (oh boy)
*Changed wiitdb.zip search
You will see the list of available channels on your system if you start without a HDD or if your HDD is slow and is being recognized late. The list of games is than reloading as soon as it is recognized.
*Hot swapping of the SD card was implemented into background thread (by giantpune)
*Made lots of cleanups and some fixes
*Format menu was moved to settings page 3 (only on godmode accessable)
*Added ScreenShot and Reset/Shutdown call to background thread. Removed the not needed ones. Now you can call for Screenshot/Reset/Shutdown anywhere in the loader (after gui is started).
down the ocarina issues
*take the IOS reload out of the slow usb loop
*use patchhook.S from new geckoOS. this doesnt mean all the new geckoOS
stuff will work, its just the S file
*fix the gamelist from starting with 1 game on the list
*added fucntion for making screenshots and put it in a few loops.
triggers are GC(Z), CC(left-Z), nunchuk(Z). no comfirmation is given
except over usb gecko. but files are saved in <boot device>/config/
USBLoader_GX_screenshot<date><time>.png
*took out some annoying prompts from the bannersound functions because
they were really annoying
* Added MEM2 support by Hibern
* Better partition support (by oggzee)
* Support for subdirectories in FAT32 (by oggzee)
* Added support for cios 223 and 250
* Added BCA support (go to Settings->Custom Paths) to change the path of the BCA files (by Hermes)
* Fixed issue with hairless mode
* Fixed issue with IOS_ReloadIOSsafe (by giantpune)
* Added setting to save games in a subdirectory
* Fixed slow startup when loading from FAT (WiiTDB required!)
* Changed handling of new titles a bit (speed improvement)
Known issue:
* FAT rename and re-id broken again due to subdirectory support (yes, I'm lazy)
changed gprintf() to use crediar's method because it is smaller and works just the same.
allow r-win's debug printf() stuff to be sent to the gecko to reduce redundant stuff there
issue 1073. headless mode - allow game to be booted via argv[1].
took out all the params from the exitprompt since they aren't used.
took out all the #ifdef stuff for building for a wii. obviously this wont run on a gamecube so it isn't needed.
added a way to check what version of a IOS is installed before trying to boot into it. added IOS_ReloadIOSsafe(). this should stop idiots with the 4.2 stubs from bitching about why stuff doesn't work.
use that check so you only see the "222v4 is needed" prompt in the settings if you don't already have that installed.
fix issue 1039. (must still be compiled without NO_DEBUG defined because technically WiiRD is a debugger)
