For discussion regarding issues not specific to certain releases....

Could you please add support for .wbfs files?
I know that we can open them with CRAP but just the .iso extension is shown in the open dialog so we have to type in *.wbfs everytime.

Thanks and greets

Hmm, possible... but didn't even knew it even worked for wbfs files. It seems Omega Frost's library already supports it...

Works like a charm.

Would be more comfotable to have both extensions in the open dialog.

Btw you can already do it by changing the language files..

For ex. in Deutsch.xml in Lang folder...
change below string

    <Item key="ISOFILESFILTER">ISO-Dateien|*.iso</Item>

to

    <Item key="ISOFILESFILTER">ISO-Dateien|*.iso|WBFS-Dateien|*.wbfs</Item>

Changed it to

<Item key="ISOFILESFILTER">Image-Dateien|*.ciso;*.iso;*.wbfs</Item>

All types and the entry work.

Thank you so much!

Ciso? Does it indeed support it?

Seems that they're working. I just have two of them and they work.

Ts it possible to update configurable forwarder with intro=0 1 2 3 ??

Possibly, but I definitely need to get a rest from my current job.

By the time I implement it, here is a possible hack,

1. Open crap.cfg and find the loader entry for Configurable Forwarder no intro
2. Duplicate this loader entry changing the name & filename entry... also duplicate the loader dol files under Loaders folder
3. Using a hex editor open copies of ConfForwarderNoIntro.dol and search for intro=0 and then change the 0 there appropriately, and save the file...

Then you'll get 4 different forwarders which use intro=0 / 1 / 2 or 3

Hello WiiCrazy,

It appears that the cfg forwarder that is in the crap package, has problems if the cfg loader is built with new devkit and libogc.
However if I use the wiiflow forwarder and copy the cfg loader to /apps/wiiflow/boot.dol then it works fine.
So I suspect there might be some bug or problem with the cfg forwarder that you use.
Can you tell me what is the difference between cfg and wiiflow forwarders?
What are the code changes, are they built different devkit and libogc?

Here are a few posts related to this issue:

Dude,
PM'ed you on gbatemp, sorry to make you register here for this problem.

About the forwarder source btw, it's still Narolez forwarder, only contains changes to parameter handling.

See here : [code.google.com]

I also suspect there could also be a problem with the argument handling stuff... that explains why wiiflow forwarder worked for you...

Got the PM thanks!
Ok let me know if you can reproduce the problem (I can) and if building the cfg forwarder with the new devkit fixes this issue.
Note, you can use these dols to test:
built with new devkit, crashes with cfg forwarder, but works with wiiflow forwarder:
[cfg-loader.googlecode.com]
build with the old devkit, works with cfg forwarder:
[cfg-loader.googlecode.com]
[cfg-loader.googlecode.com]

I have taken a quick look at the fwd source and I would suggest moving the placeholder buffer to a global variable and set the size greater, like this:

#define CFG_SIZE (14+1024)
#ifdef CFGUL
#ifdef DEBUG
char defaultConfig[CFG_SIZE] = "CFGCNF0000000debug=1 partition=NTFS1";
#else
char defaultConfig[CFG_SIZE] = "CFGCNF0000000PLACEHOLDER FOR EXTRA PARAMETERS PLACEHOLDER FOR EXTRA PARAMETERS PLACEHOLDER FOR EXTRA PARAMETERS PLACEHOLDER FOR EXTRA PARAMET";
... same for the rest of the loaders

This way the placeholder is larger and you don't have to fill out the entire string with text, the rest will be filled with '\0'
Also, I would increase:

#define MAXPARAMETERS 32
#define MAXPARAMETERSIZE 32

Just in case .. for better flexibility...

Thanks for the suggestions, indeed with all the supported parameters passed the array I've declared there may exceed it's max size. Code is just quick & dirty btw.

fyi: Confirmation that crap's wiiflow forwarder works fine with the latest cfg61b9:
[gbatemp.net]

btw about the intro=0,1,2,3 .. It sounds to me having 4 different forwarder dols is a bit too much complication, intro is an option like any other, so in my opinion it would be enough to add the different option values to the list of all options that are already there, no need to complicate with different dols. Besides this is already possible using the existing crap, just add intro=X to the list of used parameters and that's it no?

Well intro parameter is hardcoded into the forwarder. Of course intro stuff should be set in the channel creator due to newly added options to this parameter. What I had suggested to Pippin666 was a workaround actually since I am a bit busy at work and can't even touch a wii these days

Hi there.

I was going to start in the game channel world, by using Crap 3.3b, but I would like to be able to use CFG USB Loader, but latest stable version (6.5).

Have any idea on when you plan to update Crap to support newer version of loaders (also USBLoader GX has been recently revamped)? That would be a GREAT enhancement to this simple but hugely useful piece of software...

Is there anything I can do help you on achieving this?

Thanks and best regards.

Well work has stopped under Crap's new name WiiGSC, I had the idea that I should introduce a new major feature into the app. Now I'm totally unsure about what to introduce into the app so the developement has stopped. I know people are having hard time keeping up to date with the newest rev. of loaders. I'll hopefully get into the full working mood soon...

Why I can't use S.Chinese in Crap?

Well I've received the language file you sent me via PM. At first sight it was not a proper xml file, I've not checked but it needs to be in utf-8 encoding. Also xml specific characters should be encoded.

Renaming the extension of the file as xml and opening it in Internet Explorer would give you a clue. I'll recheck the file and see if the problem is a simple one like encoding or a few unencoded xml characters between tags.

Problem is in this line,

<Item key="LANGUAGE">ÓïÑÔ/Item>

Note the missing < character. Also all chinese text in the xml file should be in unicode in utf-8 encoding to be properly read by Crap. I don't have IME installed so can't see if the characters are proper. I guess you used an ascii encoding like shift jis? Actually I took a look at already existing Japanese language file and I can se e Japanese characters properly so you definitely need to convert the encoding you used in your S.Chinese translation.

ps: Attached an example language file, Japanese in utf-8 encoding.
