Hello all; Just caught up on the thread...

As for the version of the loader; I originally used the 1.5 source from waninkoko; which didn't work... THen i tried the google code source for usbloader-gui, which also didn't work...

SO now I'm still scratching my head; and its not working

As for the covers, you need 160x224... Its MUCH easier to resize the images then have to create an empty 160x224 texture and copy the 160x225 texture to it (NOT TO MENTION FASTER).

Have gotten a few requests to help with this proejct; I'm all for anyone wanting to help make this a very sweet, usable loader. For now, you can get the source read-only from google code and submit patches to me.

If they are deemed usable (I'm not too picky

) I'll add you to the googlecode project so you can really contritube.

I hope a way in this direction, simply beautiful and cool...

Can you try with 3D cover pack from Neorame? and a yellow star pointer from another usb loader seen in the forum....

Someone help this boy

life got faar too busy, and as time passed others started to discover / create things I'd had under wraps for a long while. I figured there was no need to have multiple versions of code that essentially does the same thing. Instead, I discontinued Dashboard and helped crediar a bit with his preloader, and discontinued cSM and gave my sym work to softmii and the few that asked me personally.

^ lol I contributed that too hehe. Lots of loaders use it now. I'll put it in this one, after we thread the image rendering to avoid that long load screen.

Well...a quick (around 10 Min) and very dirty Artwork from me:



This only shows a little bit of the possibilities...colors are bad, button isn't finished, Disc instead of Cover in Select, etc...just what I would wish....I think it would look a bit better than now (but it also looks great already

)

Keep it up, I'll wait for this with pleasure

i might have some time to contribute

Any exp with USB Loaders? Hopefully one of the other devs can provide some quick insight...

I tried a couple of the suggestions on here; but nothing is working. (converted main.cpp to main.c, Reverted to Waninkoko base 1.5 src)

it might be the next source code everyone is gonna use as the backbone.
once optimized and improved it can take the usbloader to a next level:3D.

Wouldn't it be more practical to just add this GUI to the backbone of an already well developed loader like the Configurable Loader?

I mean I don't see why everyone who makes a new GUI feels like they have to completely recode what a bunch of people have already coded and refined to the point of near perfection

Thats the thing; im not recoding the usb loading portion; I'm reusing existing source (Tried waninkoko's 1.5 as well as usbloader-gui's source).

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
