*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.
*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
*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.
*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.
*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.
*Changed cache size for mounts higher again which speeds up everything especially from SD
*Fixed bug when loading OCARINA+Alternative DOL. (Wasn't booting at all)

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

* 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)
* 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)!!!
