Hacking ** Ultimate USB Loader & Accessories Bible For Dummies **

[BIG MOE]

Awesome thread, man. +2 for you. I came debating if there was a nicer looking alternative to GX, but think I'll stick with GX. A few questions, though, since I can't seem to spot any details about it.
thanks

1.) I really like GX, and have used it exclusively since it showed up. I don't, however, like its GUI. Any other recommendations for something using the same IOS,etc as GX? Something with pretty colors and an easier GUI.
personally I use CFG and GX and it's the best in my opinion

2.) I've got a 1.5tb drive with 2 partitions. I'm wanting to expand my WBFS partition beyond 500gb, but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about loaders recognizing anything over 512gb. Anyone have any real success with larger WBFS partitions? Which drive are you using?

I use 1.5TB in 2 partitions 1TB WBFS and .5TB FAT32 with homebrew and loaders and apps and media with no problem for any loader to recognize my WBFS partition at all

3.) Last, I didn't see the WBFS app for Macs on the OP post. Here's a link for a pre-compiled version WBFS for OSX. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as Windows version do, but it very cleanly dumps iso files to WBFS while supporting queues, cover lookup, hbc channels, add/delete. I'll also point out, that it only reads the WBFS drive with a USB cable (not firewire.)

thanks for this info and the link , but I only post and evaluate apps that I test and go over source code of it , and this one I cann't do cause I don't have MAC at the moment

but I 'll check it out as soon as possible and will have up in the first page after that , thanks again

There's actually a thread floating around here about it with all the source code included.. took some browsing but here you go. Compiling WBFS on Mac OS X The link I tossed above is already done and compiled with a nice GUI for the.. terminal-illiterate. Anywho.. thanks for the HDD data, I'm about to give it a shot as I'm out of room on a .5tb setup.

Jesus christ this is confusing. Could someone please explain?

The name of this thread is "Ultimate USB Loader...." and in the first post there are links to both "OggZee Configurable USB Loader" and "SDUSB-Loader_cfg40 (based on v1.5 by Waninkoko)".

If you look here: [http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=154465] I get the expression that these are 2 _different_ USB Loaders because they are both listed (listed as 3 and 5). Correct?

But if I go to the "OggZee Configurable USB Loader"-thread and click on the "cfg v41 (release)" and download it. I get a file called: "sdusb-loader_cfg41.zip". This contains the application and a "readme-cfg.txt" which says "Configurable SD/USB Loader v41". Everything perfectly fine so far.

But if I instead download the second one I wrote "SDUSB-Loader_cfg40 (based on v1.5 by Waninkoko)" in the first post, called "SDUSB-Loader_cfg40.zip". I get the exactly same files (except there is v40 instead of v41).

So what is going on? Is "Ultimate USB Loader" and "OggZee Configurable USB Loader" the exact same Loader except for maybe one version change (v40 vs v41)?


=======================================================


Also, anyone got a mirror for the: SDUSB Loader cfg40 forwarder?

The link in the nfo doesnt work (http://www.yafaze.com/wii/files/USB_LOADER_FORWARDER.rar)

don't get confused here

the name of the thread is Ultimate USB Loader as the #1 USB Loader cause I list all of them and test them and recommend one than the other as how many stars it presented by

and both "OggZee Configurable USB Loader" and "SDUSB-Loader_cfg40 (based on v1.5 by Waninkoko)". represent the same loader

the original ultimate usb loader has been modified by another author now and it's different than the CFG

if you follow the link to CFG home thread you will find the link to the forwarder

I'm using USB Loader GX and that's pretty cool, it's not on the list? Or did I over look it having this MEGA headache... may be my last post..ever... oh and is there any USB loader that lets you quit back into the USB loader screen, and not back to the Wii menu?

GX is on the list under the authors name

and no USB Loader is able to reboot back to the Loader Menu unless you use it with preloader as an installed file to have it booted first

good luck

Umm.. is it just me or did the USB HD compatibility list go away? The link off the first post no longer works.

I looked at the last two pages of responses, and didn't see anything about it. Does anyone know where it went? I looked at the USB compatibility List in the wiki (where the link goes) but couldn't find anything about hard drives...

USB Devices Compatibility List

URL is a bit different now.

This may not be the right thread to ask, but whats the best usb loader to pick up if you've never used any of this or cIOSes before? Do I need more than one cIOS to install, or do I just put the loader/cIOS installer on the root of my card, and run them?

Thank you so much! Going to be getting one in the next couple of days, and just wanted to make sure what works and doesn't....

once CFG format the USB Drive windows will not recognize it anymore so it will ask you to format

and you should answer no to that and install WBFS Manager rev 3.0.1 and this program will access the drive for you and install your backed up games in ISO format into the drive

good luck

WiiFlow should be on the list for loaders (at the top!) There's also a Mac OSX friendly WBFS manager I don't see on the list, its aptly titled WBFS for Mac OSX. Since its really the only OSX stable wbfs manager, its noteworthy to mention.
