Hello there folks,
I have 7.4 version the one in the first post. Everything works nicely, I have downloaded covers that I need and I have titles.txt working. (Don't have wifi at home)

Should I bother with later versions? What did they change? (I mean version 7.406 and prior)

Thank you for your time!

Hatax, are you having trouble with the 7.407?


Sure was! The music part turned out to be a PITA, it brought in all kinds of hidden code dumps... And still it pops and doesn't sound quite like I'd like it to, I think I may move to OGG support either in addition to or in place of the MP3 support. But I have decided to release it as is for now to see if it works for some people, and also so the other features I've added don't sit un-used by the people that want them!

Anyway, this thread needs to go the way of the dodo as it's a bit of a pain to navigate for new users.

So, new thread time!

Follow up on the progress on the latest updates for the Ultimate USB Loader that I am currently keeping up and adding to here:

Things i like to se (hope to se) in the next update

Ability to change the Name to games you have installed instead of having to connect the USB device to my computer and change the name using WBFS Manager.
Don't have to be something fancy just some way to do it. Maby under option.

Reload IOS
Games that Perform a reload of IOS do not work (Metroid Prime 3)
"Metroid works with uLoader 1.7"

Multiple WBFS partitions - Can use a drive with several partitions formatted in WBFS

cIOS mloader support - Can use new cIOS architecture with external modules (EHCI, etc). included with the application instead of cIOS reinstall

cMIOS support - Can use cMIOS to load GameCube Games from DVD (Like UniiLoader)

Other USB devices - Able to use other devices than USB disk (microphones, rock band instruments, etc)

DVD Support - Start Games from DvD (Like UniiLoader)

Add Game

I use WD elements 320 gb portable.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
