The goal of this project is to make a stable USB-Loader, based on the official one from Waninkoko, with many Features like Cheating,
Language Selecting, and much more... . It's Open-Source, so everybody can try to contribute something. The Thanks goes to waninkoko,
kwiirk, Hungyip84, fishears, nIxx, usptactical, Sorg, WiiPower, Forsaekn and many more!!! (Sorry if I forgot someone).
Thanks to all of them for spending time, and work so hard for this

Downloads:

V7.4 including source (version based on 1.5 - made by hungyip84 (19/04/09 )

-Added two new options (I think it's a lot, sorry): wconsole_coords and wcovers_coords
This two options are similar to console_coords and covers_coords, except that these two options are used when the loader is in widescreen mode.
-Fixed some minor bugs
-Re-factored some of the codes (should not affect anything, but might introduce new bugs)
-Might be there is something more. I will let you to figure it out.

V7.3 (version based on 1.5 - made by hungyip84 (17/04/09 )
-Added Force Pal50, Pal60 and Force NTSC
-Added VIDTV Patch (It was always patched for previous loaders, but now I added that as option in setting menu

V7.2 (version based on 1.4 - made by hungyip84 (17/04/09 )
Links says V7. but it's V7.2
-Now the loader would detect widescreen automatically. You could still use the "widescreen" config,
but you could just delete this config option and let the loade to pick for you.
-The loader would download the correct widescreen covert art for you into wimages_path if you are in widescreen mode.
So you don't have to resize yourself now =)


V7.1 (version based on 1.1 - made by hungyip84 (17/04/09 )
V7.1 (version based on 1.4 - made by hungyip84 (17/04/09 )
-auto resize is removed to fix the install bug.
-added wimage_path option. This is the path that you put your widescreen background and widescreen cover art to. (default is SD:/wimages/)
-also included, the japanese game fix by Narolez as well (Thanks Narolez!) Please let Hungyip84 know if ocarina is really disabled with it is turned off.
Notes: when you have widescreen turned on, the downloaded cover art would not get auto-resized, you need to resize yourself. Sorry about that.

V7 official (version based on 1.1 and 1.4 included - made by hungyip84 (16/04/09 )
-A lot of bug fixes
-added widescreen option. (If you use widescreen, please set layout to ultimatew or simple delete the layout config)

V7beta3 (based on waninkokos 1.4 Loader) - made by hungyip84 (15/04/09 )
-just bugs fixed.
-no widescreen support, yet. Will be in next or overnext version.
-Background with new button mapping is at the bottom of this post.


V7beta2 (based on waninkokos 1.4 Loader) - made by hungyip84 (15/04/09 )
-Now simple option allow only 0, 1 or 2 (0 is normal, 1 is remove install and uninstall option, 2 is remove uninstall option)
-Also, if you set simple = 1, the hdd information would be hidden
-savesettings is set to default by 0 now (instead of 1)
-functionality of button 1 and 2 is removed. Hungyip84 might add this back as a config option in future release (depends on the feedback)
-language, video and ocarina option is removed from the game selection screen (they are in the setting screen now)

in titles.txt, you can set access level by something like this:

RMCE = Mario Kart = 1
there is one minor bug that I found. If you boot game from setting menu, the auto-save would not work (i will fix it in V7 final)
FIXED: in the setting pages there are some bug. Don't play with the saving page yet. I made some change and screwed that up. I will fix it tomorrow.


V6.7 (both 1.1 and 1.4 included) - made by hungyip84/forsaekn (14/04/09 )

-Now savings would be saved to SD card instead (in the same directory as your boot.dol) (Thanks for oggzee's work)
-Now the loader would load config.txt and titles.txt from the boot.dol directory instead of (SD:/apps/usbloader), so you can have multiple loaders with different config.
-Added config option "max_characters". Default is set to "max_characters = 37", this option allow you to edit the number of characters being displayed per line.

V6Final (both 1.1 and 1.4 included) - made by hungyip84/forsaekn (13/04/09 )
Changes:

-Added config option (ocarina, video, language, savesettings, entrylines, download)
-For ocarina, video, language, the loader would use the saved settings if saved settings are detected.
-savesettings is the option to save the (ocarina, video and language) settings into the game.
-entrylines is the number of entry lines displayed on the screen.
-download = 0 would disable the download boxart feature. download = 1 would turn it on (default is off)
The image reload bug should also be fixed in this version. Please let us know if it works.
