*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.
*WiiTDB now falls back to english if the locale language is not found for Titles/Synopsis
*Some clean up and memory leak fixes in game info prompt and adjusted the info get to the new WiiTDB reading method.
*Added a few new useful functions from WiiXplorer (DownloadToFileWithProgress, ShowError,...)
*Disabled the console output after the GUI is started up. The info is only output to gecko in GUI mode now.
*Added better wait loop for HDD spin up
*Changed almost all default config paths which are set when no config exists to be set to where the actual config file is saved (either /apps/usbloader_gx/ or /config/)
*Changed to startup and load a cios right away before loading settings. You need to have at least one non stub cios 249, 222 or 250 to start the loader now
*Fixed 30 secs timer on HDD spin wait
*Updated libfat to new libogc version
*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 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 ;).
* 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
*Lot's of changes in image processing
*Added use of libgd and ImageData class from WiiXplorer. No more crashes with corrupted images and no more restriction to images sizes that are devidable by 4 :).
*Added a recource file manager for better access of all files/images for internal files and theme files. Some themes will have to adjust some filenames because we want to use the same filenames for themes and internal source files.
*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.
- 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
* 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

* 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
*Fixed filebrowser to cancel without applying the path
*Added A BGM Class
*Removed the BGM menu now.
You can now choose a file with the filebrowser which you want to play. This file will be played and all .mp3 .ogg and .wav in the same directory enlisted as a Playlist.
If you choose Loop Directory mode than the files are played one after another. You can also choose a play random music from directory mode.
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).
* Implemented WIP patches
* Updated language files
* Possible fix for Peppa Pig (untested, issue 1212)
* Updated Wii parental controls to work nicelly with USB GX Parental Controls
*rearrange some sd and usb init to keep from re-init the thing 20 times
*execute some of the main dol patches that are the same size in the same
loop so we dont keep looping the same data a bunch if we dont need to
(hopefully this doesnt break anything)
*sprinkle some more gpringf() around
* Added Wii Parental Control support
* Added gui numpad
* Changed GuiText to support password character
* Added lock/unlock icon in the titlebar (to unlock Parental Control)
* Added new wbfs_fat from Oggzee (further speed improvement)
* Added MEM2 support by Hibern
* Better partition support (by oggzee)
* Support for subdirectories in FAT32 (by oggzee)
* Added support for cios 223 and 250

* 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)
* Added a configuration setting to turn this feature off (there you go, pune)
* Changed svnrev.sh, to also update the release date of the meta.xml file, and to set the revision to current + 1
* Fixed issue 1058
* Menus splitted to several smaller files, to reduce compile time
This version has FAT support. You can change the used partition in the game load options. Default WBFS will be used, if found. Otherwise the first FAT partition with games will be used. FAT will only work when using Hermes cios (222/223)!!!
*Added new options for BannerSounds (You can loop them, make it be quite after once played or play the BGM again)
NOTE: Changed the way how to disable BannerSounds. If you make Volume to 0 than the loading of the BannerSounds is disabled now.
* ogg decoder added (old oggplayer removed)
* mp3 decoder added (mp3's cane use as backgroundsounds)
* WAVE decoder added (but only uncompressed WAVE's)
* AIFF decoder added (only uncrompressed)
* BNS decoder added
all soundformats can use as backgroundsounds
dimoks GameSound class removed it is replaced with the new GuiSound stuff
* Many small fixes and other changes
NOTE: Added option to enable/disable the BannerSounds and a volume option for it. Note that volume 0 is not the same as disabled. On volume 0 the sounds are still loaded. More options probably going to come.
* changes is setting-dialogs
- Update the Gui-Texts only if is needed
- alls stuff for an option in one code-block
this makes it easier to add, move or remove an option
* customoptionbrowser-stuff
* Add one translation wich was forgotten in source
* Themable screensaver activated, image size as gxlogo.png, but named "screensaver.png" in the theme folder.
* Others little fixs
NOTE: The images used right now for the theme loader are made out of our old images and if someone can make some new ones go ahead. The themes are downloaded to the path you can set up. The downloaded preview images are cached at "<set up theme downloadpath>/tmp/". The widescreenfix isn't implemented there yet because images will probably be changed.
*Started 3rd SettingsPage
*Added JPEG Loading GuiImageData function and 4x4RGBA converter by r-win from WiiXplorer
*Added ZipFile Class from WiiXplorer
*Added StringToMD5 and MD5ToString to MD5 functions and made it undependable of platform
*Lots of changes in the TextDrawing stuff and FreeTypeGX to speed up the drawing
*Mostly optimization work which is not completely done yet, but mainly it is.
*You might not want to update to this revision right away there still might be bugs which are needed to be fixed. This is a version for everyone to test and report bugs caused by the changes.
*Vanishing WiiMotePointer should be fixed for the Settings/GameSettings probably (though it might still occur i am not sure if i didn't forget anything, there is just too much to change :P.
- Differ the coordinates between 16:9 and 4:3,
can add a setting with a "w" as prefix
(e.g. sdcard_coord = 163,395 for 4:3
and wsdcard_coord = 170,395 for 16:9).
Isn't setted "w???._coord", the "normal"-coordinate
is used for both modes.
* added a new constructor for GuiImageData
currebtly the constructor is unused, i will use later
All options pages now contain the correct number of lines, which together with another adjustment should fix scrollbar alignment (issue 971).
Added missing scrollbar on custom paths page.
dimok fixed the file browser bug that prevented going back to the parent folder if the current folder was empty (issue 836).
Fixed parental control keyboard bug introduced in r750 (issue 976).
The free space text is now in correct order when the GUI is set to Japanese.
* Added initial (untested!) support for the zip file format, which is supported by the HBC
* Began working on compressed wad files. Uncompressing fails for now, so uploading WAD files should be done with the previous version of Wiiload.
* Fixed issue 902 (hence the large commit).
You may have to delete your main configuration file before updating if you had v3 installed. For some games, you will have to use 222 instead of 223 (RB instruments, GH 5) if you had 222 v3.
If you think you need an external ehcmodule.elf, you can put it in SD:/apps/usbloader_gx/ and it will be loaded.
Fixed crash when setting a custom path using the folder button (issue 864).
Fixed black screen when starting the loader from HBC a long time after powering the Wii and the HDD went to sleep (tested on a WD 2,5") (possible fix for issue 881).
*may lead to false positives for some GC memory cards in slot 2, but the only side effect would be hooking the game when it wasn't wanted to be hooked*
fix i bug created by svn merging
Call to start BC for GC is still present 2x. I left one so if the first doesn't work, it can be removed and the second will be used.
Add button to mount DVD drive. Not completely tested, but somewhat.
*Tested and working*
retail Wii DVD
Wii backup
Wii backup w/ alt dol (redsteel)
Wii backup w/ alt dol & ocarina (redsteel)
Wii backup w/ alt dol & WiiRD
Retail & Backup forcing video modes
Saving individual settings for games on DVD (only Wii as BC is loaded before any settings would be used)
Display disc images for DVD games
Loading GC games retail & backup (w/ working MIOS patch installed)
I did change some stuff after testing GC so it might be broken.
Theme stuff for the button is not tested and I'm not quite up to speed with ardi's changes to the theme stuff so it might not work.
Changed images are not compressed or optimized.
N O T E:
--------
- The old coords for the "sort & search" buttons
are obsolete and will be removed in future
- the gamelist, gamegrid and the gamecarousel have your
own coords (named the old coords with a prefix "gamelist_",
"gamegrid_" and "gamecarousel_")
- the search-button is e.g. themable over the new setting
"gamelist_search_coords=x,y", "gamegrid_search_coords=x,y"
and "gamecarousel_search_coords=x,y".
- a workaround, for old themes, sets (by using the old coords)
all buttons as previously, apart from favorite button.
The new search button is placed at the position from the
favorite button and the favorite button is placed to the left
side of the search button. That is necessary for old themes
to insert the search button between favorite and abc button.
This workaround will be removed in future
- for new themes must use the new coords.
- Themes for old and new loader can use both coords
(the important thing is that the old coords stands
before the new coords in the GXtheme.cfg)
INFO:
Here is what the options mean:
Only Originals - only download original disc images
Only Customs - only download custom disc images
Originals/Customs - download first original and if not available download custom disc images
Customs/Originals - download first customs and if not available download original disc images
formatted the code to make it easier to read. no functional changes at all.
i didn't put anything from the libwiigui folder or banner folder in the beautifier.
my automated .bat seems to have done a good job. the only places i see it fucked up was on (GXColor){blablabla}. it treated the brackets in the color like all the other brackets and put the color on a new line and indented it. i think i fixed most of them. not sure if it messed up anywhere else. also not sure about how it handled different linebreaks. it looks fine on windows. if it looks messed up on linux, it can be reverted.
the code still compiles and runs fine.
*Added URL_List class that gets all Links of an http url.
*Made HomebrewList class dynamic allocated like the URL_List class too now. This saves lots of unused memory.
*Small cleanups
NOTE: Punes made an update too (i didnt know he was doing it). We decided to have both in because of:
Punes update updates only the files that are available on the SD/USB and only when you are doing a complete update.
My update is downloading ALL files from the SVN Link (getting the whole list). These is mainly for people that are getting started or those who want to update the whole LanguageList
·Add tooltips to NavBar
·Nodisc.png & noimage.png (cover 3d or flat) for theme need to be place in your theme folder now (more easy to install theme)
Warning: if you use a custom nodisc.png/noimage.png, now you need to let it in the theme folder (so download theme, and just load it, no need to move images anymore)
·Made littles modif on the new file browser for title of custom path match with those from the setting windows (less heavy for the .lang file)
made the channel browser read database.txt. The text should be in the config path (because i couldn't think of a better place for it). And the format for the txt is the first 3 chars of the 4 char ID, then any 1 character, then the name (read up to 51 chars.
eg.
ULN USB Loader GX Full Channel
HAX Homebrew Channel
HAT Nintendo Channel
The database for ATD mod follows this format, so its a great place to start. If people are going to be passing around a database, it would be wise to keep custom channels off this, as my WADD that says WadManager is not the same as somebody else's WADQ which could be a self destruct or something.
Commented out the code that loads titles.txt. It was reported that this file is keeping WiiSportsResort from loading on some Wiis. And it isn't needed anymore since there is the xml file with all the names in it. I left the code in though in case somebody thinks that it is actually useful.
Added 1 more game to the list of known alt dols.
no button to create a new file and a little bug with the scrolling, but better than typing stuff in.
added channel launcher. currently doesnt show the actual name, only the u32 and ID. also, it is only showing 0x00010001 channels, so no Mii, weather, or other crappy channels, just the good stuff.
fixed bug that showed the MacOS hidden files as extra homebrew entries.
NOTE 1: For this the network has to be initialized!! You can initialize the network with the button at the right bottom of the
Homebrew Launcher or by AutoInit Network.
*Added background Network initialize
*Added AutoUpdateCheck if AutoInit Network Setting is turned on. You will get a prompt if a new Update is available.
NOTE: AutoInit Network can be turned on under GUI Settings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All those features require network being initialized. Be aware that when network is initialized some games seem
to not want to run, this means its lowers the game load compatibility. Most of the games don't have any problem with it but some
do. Thats why there is an option for the AutoInit Network.
added more alt dol#s to the list
made the homebrewBtn movable in the theme
use homebrew_coords = x,y
move the xml loading from during the cfg loading to the menu_check so it happens after video is init and we have drawn something. maybe this will fix the garbled screen somepeople see while it loads.
change homebrew icon image and move it a bit.
hide the homebrew button if godmode!=1
maybe fix issue 722. i don't have a spare drive to test it.
fix grammatical error in the settings.
fix long game name overflow on the gameinfo screen
switch the homebrew buttons to use the new HBCwindowprompt(). none of the meta.xml data is passed yet so the prompt looks pretty naked.
*Added HomebrewFiles Class
NOTE 1: In settings/custompaths you can change the HomebrewPath and the standard is SD:/apps/. Our browser searches for EVERY .dol and .elf file in the directory even if its not called boot.dol.
NOTE 2: Giantpune and me tested the homebrewbooting and it worked for every homebrew we tested except our own application. (a bit ironic)
NOTE 3: Right now the information on the Buttons is the path to the Homebrew. This and the BootPrompt will be replaced with the XML information inside the path of the homebrew later but for now i am taking a break
NOTE 4: Right now the button to the HomebrewMenu is next to WiiMenuButton and has the same image as the listgamebrowser. I didnt have any images so i took what i had and cyrex will change the images when he is back. Also there will be a no icon image added later.
*Added Browser for AlternateDOL from disc feature
NOTE: Right now the browser isn't working right and crashing from time to time so you i would not recommend to use it yet. It's also showing all files on the disc for test purpose. I'll try to fix it later right now i don't have time for it.
*Changed some minor codes and moved cheats to its own folder
NOTE: This option is ONLY for those who have problems with their HDDs being detected. With this disabled you shouldn't get weird lists where all Games are the same or no Games at all.
added checks for all the servers to verify what they are giving us. also added more bad image sizes to the list.
it is all commented out now. uncomment all the new stuff it the download function to use it.
fix TXTcheatpath not being saved
made prompt and call you an idiot if you try to load in image that has bad dimensions.
added stuff from the cheat menu to be translatable
maybe fixed an issue with cheatcode names being too long and running on/off out of site
un comment sam & max fix. we were under the impression that it only worked from disc but somebody said that it is working from USB also with ios rev 10 or 13a. i have left out the ios checks to see if it works with any ios and also it is only on if the game ID matches one of the two listed on wiiboxart.com for this game.
drink a beer
*Added Playcounter Reset to GameSettings (545 fixed the PlayCounter not GameCounter :P)
*Added global PlayCounter reset function (its not used yet)
*Probably fixed the issue some HDDs had ("No partition found")
*Probably fixed cursor disappearing after downloading update
NOTE: This fix is for games like Ghostbusters which don't work under IOS249 Rev10. With this fix on, this games work on Rev10 and you don't need to switch the cIOS all the time to play those games. For this option it is necessary that you turn ERROR 002 FIX ON.
NOTE: This Block IOS Reload option enables games to work that don't usually work due to IOS Reloads. This option works ONLY if you boot your Loader in 222 and boot the game in 222/223)
NOTE: There is a GameSettings you need to turn ON to load Alternate DOLs. The alternate DOL has to be called 6 IDs .dol for example RHDP8P.dol and has to be in the root of the SD. Giantpune will add custom path support i dont have time for it.
*Added 16:9 forwarder
*Changed video mode change behaviour
*Added new GameSetting "Online fix"
NOTE: Online fix is ONLY needed if you initialize network inside the loader and start an Online Game and ONLY if your boot cios is the same as GameSettings IOS (which is default). That Game would need an IOS Reload before start to be able to play it online BUT this IOS Reload mostly causes Blackscreens. I made this option so you dont have to avoid initializing network. If you have different boot IOS than gamesettings IOS this fix doesnt matter too.
