* Fixed crashing problem when launching a game before banner caching is completed. (Dimok)
* Fixed theme downloader stuck at 100% after unzipping.
* Fixed prompt typo and prompt behavior when exiting the copy/delete GC menu.
* Renamed string "Rename Game on WBFS" to "Rename Game Title".
You can now easily hide games on category basis.
Click on a category to cycle through possible checkbox states.
The "ALL" category can now have 3 different states:
[ ] Not checked = Doesn't display all categories (like before)
[v] Checked = Displays all categories (like before)
[X] Cross = Displays all categories except forbidden categories.
The other categories now have 4 different states:
[ ] Not checked = Games containing this category are not filtered (like before)
[v] Enabled = All games containing this category will be displayed (like before)
[X] Forbidden = All games containing this category will NOT be displayed.
[+] Required = All games NOT containing this category will NOT be displayed.
*restructured game settings for different types of games (Wii/GC/Channels)
*added uninstall option for emu nand channels and game cube games (iso only)
*add display of game size from wii disc games on game prompt
*add game size display for game cube games (iso only)
*force interlace mode on GC games except when explicitly used FORCE 480p PAL/NTSC
*removed mountMethod global variable which was annoying me very much
*some source cleanup
*add loading of wii games / nand channels / emu nand channels in all combinations into one list
*add button on main view for quick choice between the combinations of the three
*add "Real Nand" or "Emulated Nand" text on the game window prompt when starting a channel
*removed the need of a cIOS to launch the loader (if anyone uses it with IOS58 for whatever reason). The warning that a cIOS is needed is still present.
*removed support for both usb ports at once on hermes cIOS. Each can still be used individually but only one at a time. This is done because of some bugs in the new ehci module which make some games unbootable. The ehcimodule is now reverted to the last working one. Need feedback if the games work fine again.
*some preparations for the upcoming stealth mode feature of the d2x cIOS
*isfs is now initiated once and deinitated when cleaning up only (instead of the whole init/deinit every single access)
*removed choice for emulated nand channel modes. Emulated nand channels always need full emulation which is now always used on emu nand for channels.
*removed unused settings for channels from the per game setting
*changed default partition to 0 when starting with fresh settings (instead of -1 wtf?)
* added direct list of emu nand channels without activating emu nand (for speed up)
* removed autoclose of search bar and changed the search engine to have both methods
* added setting for switching "Beginning" and "Content" search methods and a quick switch button on search window
* added autocomplete if only one search character is available and more than one match
* added seperate path and setting for emu nand channels/saves
* added caching of emu nand channel titles
* fixed a few alignment issues when activating emu nand (thanks daveboal)
* some minor clean ups
TODO/Next Rev:
* add channels banner sounds
* remove unneeded game settings options on channels
*Changed everything from WiiTDB to GameTDB (using new host and name)
*Added quick switch between system font and old font (fixed memory leak in font change)
*Improved memory usage on category xml creation. Thanks to NJ7 for all the tests he ran here too)
*Changed TinXML to not throw an exception on every allocation fail but to return a 0 pointer
*Fixed crash with categories and disabled "Titles from WiiTDB"
*Compilation fix (forgot to remove some xml.h)
*little fix in themes xml downloader (thx dj_skual)
*modified libcustomfat and ntfs fragment fetch function to support >512 bytes per sector
*Added new ehcmodule (thanks rodries)
*Added real support of using both ports simultaniously without shutting down the other (thanks rodries for the ehcmodule works on this). There is no longer the limitation that the settings have to be on SD card for this. (ONLY HERMES CIOS)
*Moved a few settings to Feature Settings and added a new Hard Drive Settings
*Changed Wiinnertag path to only point to the path and not to the file. You must correct the path manually in custom path settings or reset you configs for this change or Winnertag won't work!!
*Removed a few compile warnings for devkitPPC R23
*Fix homebrew browser indicator counter (thx dj_skual)
*Fix We Dare anti piracy protection (thx oggzee)
*Fix Wip patching
*IOS reload block working with d2x v6 beta1+ with all filesystems
*Changed CheckBox Cross to squareroot sign
*Added auto detection of the usb port on start with Hermes cIOS (allowing startup without waiting 20s for USB port 1) (was build in in rodries ehcmodule, thx!)
*With new d2x v6 beta1+ sector sizes other than 512 bytes per sector should be supported on ext/ntfs (maybe fat too) (NOT TESTED, need feedback)
*Fixed freeze in theme menu when its empty
*Optimized the game list loading on fat/ntfs/ext. This should speed up the loading process.
*Added cache of game titles. This will speed up the startup after the cache file is written (in other words on second start of this rev). A TitlesCache.bin will be created in the same path as the wiitdb.xml for this. This should especial speed up the startup of fat/ntfs/ext partitions by a lot if no sub folders with the game titles are used, like GAMEID.wbfs only. That must have been painfully slow before on a lot of games. Should be at about the same speed as with sub folders now. I would still recommend to use sub folders.
*Removed wiilight (disc slot) blinking when switching USB port on Hermes cIOSes (thanks rodries)
*Added the ehcmodule sources from rodries to the branches
*Updated language files
*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 ;).
*Changed USB Loader GX WBFS formatter to choose 2048 as virtual sector size if a drive with a size > 500GB is formatted.
NOTE: Don't use this feature with IOS58 mode. It might damage the partition. I did not build in a safety check for IOS58 mode because it will be removed soon anyway.
*Reworked the cover downloader completely. Now has an overall missing files count and progress. Also missing files not found on the server can be dumped to a csv file
*Added possibility to grad 3D Boxes and move them around in the zoomable mode
*Changed default setting for video mode back to disc default
*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.
*Fixed weird last random character at game info text
*Reload background/cursor/... on theme apply after download
*Added connection check function for URLs (like a PING)
*Added timeout on trying to connect to the theme download hoster
*Fixed redundant characters on search bar when both upper and lower case exist in a search
*Changed to update disc drive status only 1 time per second in the main menu (instead of every ~100ns)
*Removed global "locked games" for per game lock option which is not really useful anyway since you have to save in the game the lock status
*Removed a few unused setting variables
*Updated some language files
*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.
*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)
*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
*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 ;).
*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.
