smurk-too / postloader Goto Github PK

I suggest to add some background music and sound effects when hovering/opening 
inside the menu.

This was the first thing i noticed when using postloader, the loader is amazing 
and is made my default menu/game loader menu but, it has no sounds or music, 
making it very dull over time.

So if not planned, please add it :3 and to make it even better, make it 
customizeable, being able to stop/enable the music/sounds or customize what 
plays inside a config.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
readmii tells extensively about a postloader.dol but there is no such file 
anymore in postloader.zip. So it is confusing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In my case, I wanted to make priiloader on (uneek) emulated nand launch 
postloader.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
postloader.3.48.2

Please provide any additional information below.
Kudo for postloader ! Great wiiware !

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set priiloader to boot priibootergui.dol
2. list of apps in priiloader does not show priibootergui as having AHBPROT 
available
3. turn on wii, priibootergui loads, postloader loads, run cleanrip and it 
reports no AHBPROT

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Be able to rip discs with Cleanrip using AHBPROT
See the priibootergui dol listed as having AHBPROT available in priiloader

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
priiloader 0.8, postloader 3.5.8.1, priibootergui 1.0

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm assuming this is a postloader thing ONLY because priiloader reports no 
AHBPROT available...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start postloader in emunand with neek2obooter.app
2. Start a Wii-game through postloader
3. Press Home to switch back to Wii-Menu, or power off

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
postloader or system menu should boot up again, instead it gives an 
exception-error. postloader shows even after a restart still the code dump 
while booting up, can't start postloader anymore. You have to delete the 
ploader-folder from the SD to get it back working. Maybe one of the 
config-files get corrupted?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
4.1.1, neek2o rev.95, 4.3E

Please provide any additional information below.

I haz more suggest! For all loader menu's, i think it would be really useful to 
add categories and sorting, not just for only homebrew or 
wii games.

I came up with this when sorting homebrew or channels(using vote), when sorting 
them, i found it a real pity i could not sort them in a nice layout like for 
example http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Categorii does :/.

Yes, i know, i can create folders inside the apps folder, but then it would be 
incombitable with soooo many apps, instead of having a categorie button, 
handled using configs.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run any homebrew app(Thatotherdev homebrew for example)
2. Exit back
3. Boom! DSI error :P

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should exit fine, using a return from channel method, instead most crash 
with DSI+no-reload or do not return directly to postloader(via system menu to 
priiloader to postloader)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
4.b38

Please provide any additional information below.
This build is great, but some parts essential to it are broken :/.

On the modded emulators, snes9gx, Vbagx, Fceugx, they still show the autoupdate 
implented in the original.

 It is a bit of a annonyance because it is not only useless(as the emulator is modded), but it also shows up everytime i start a new game having to click it away, like with a popup ad :P.

So if your not yet planning this, remove that function please :3.

I would like to see Postloader be able to run \apps\ that are inaccessible to 
hbc.

sd:\sneek\apps\alpha-test\boot.dol

This would add a layer of protection against someone running unsafe homebrew on 
the real nand.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
-Remove SD
-Put USB HDD
-Open Homebrew Channel
-Load Postloader

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Black Screen

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
System Menu 4.3U d2x (7 final) cIos 249 base 38. I had version 6 but the same 
problem


Please provide any additional information below.
When I load postloader with SD, I had not problems

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Rebuild game list (DML)
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
DO NOT to delete games (They play fine)
Games are deleted from SD unnecessarily.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.69.5 (earlier version also, I upgraded thinking this was a bug)

Please provide any additional information below.
discex -c was used, so I don't know what the problem here is.
It's only been deleting these 2 games.

Postloader gives this message as it deletes games:
"Folder 'sd://games/G4SE01' removed as it has the wrong size"
"Folder 'sd://games/GLME01' removed as it has the wrong size"

I would like to see an autoboot mode where you can specify which app or game to 
boot based on which buttons are held down on the wiimote/gc controller while 
booting.  As an example, set it to boot to the system menu as normal if nothing 
is pressed but boot to cfgloader if B is held down and the homebrew channel if 
Z or 1 is held down.

I would like to see a search function in future, it can sometimes take a while 
to find what you're looking for if you have alot of games and apps.

Hi
1. In the video settings PAL emu nands 480p video mode is set.
2. When I switch emu nands from PAL -> NTSC -> PAL video mode become 480i
3. I use component cable.
4. Video mode in both nands is set to 480p

I use latest version neek2o and postloader downloaded with ModMii.
Thanx

I suggest to add a battery status of the wiimote to postloader, it can be a 
pain having to figure out if it is full or almost out.

While your at it, also make it warn if the wiimote is at for example, 10-30% so 
folks know when they need to stop when they are hypnotized in the wii :P.

And as usual, make it customizeable for folks, so they can change its position, 
or add a sound when warning, or change the text/image.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start postloader
2. I have three games on my Fat32-Stick in the wbfs-folder
Mario Kart Wii [RMCP01]
James Bond - Golden Eye [SJBP52]
Kirby Wii [SUKP01]
3. Try to start up Mario Kart

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Mario Kart Wii should start up, but instead it starts up James Bond - Golden 
Eye.
If choosing Kirby, Kirby starts up.
If choosing James Bond, James Bond starts up.
If choosing Mario Kart, James Bond starts also up, can't start Mario Kart 
through postloader

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1. Set up as in the readmii descibed under: 
   "(A) Real Wii: priiloader extension via priibooterGUI"
2. Start the Wii and enter the interactive mode in priibooterGUI
3. Mark the Homebrew Channel and start the selected item

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Browse to... Wii game mode 
2.Rebuild game list

What is the expected? What do you see instead?
After scanning the 18th entry it dumps an error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.57.1 (also failed in 3.56)
1.5TB hard drive

Please provide any additional information below.
Everything else is fine. Also all the other USB loaders work fine.

Do you know WiiSixty? It could be great a new feature like this.
Check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLPFZwo46d0

A nice feature would be, that if someone selects a wii-game, it shows the 
animated banner build inside the wii-image.

It should be possible for postloader, usbloader-gx already did it for one of 
his lastest build(3.0).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. on a 4:3 tv, the text at the bottom is unredable
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
can barely see the top of text

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.57.1

Please provide any additional information below.

I suggest to make postloader and it's data (theme, settings, etc) load into 
memory after launchup.

Reason: Whenever someone takes out the SD card, postloader freezes, because it 
no longer has access to the theme files, settings, etc.

My suggestion is to make a feature so a user can download titles.txt and 
wiitdb.zip on the fly using a download button.

This is convenient for anyone and nearly any usbloader has such a feature, so 
why Postloader not :?.

Btw, not sure if Postloader uses it, but try make it use the Wiitdb database, 
this way it can automaticly sort wii titles in there categories, action titles 
in action titles, sport in sport, etc.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. TV screen is 16:9 42 inches display
2. When I enter Postloader, there's always a black rectangle at the bottom. 
Also wiimote pointer can't go in this rectangle.
3. Size of the rectangle is 2 inches high and screen width.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It seems as if Postloader display uses a subpart of the physical display since 
display and wiimote pointer are restricted.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
postloader.3.48.2

Please provide any additional information below.
It's not related to a particular theme, I tried without theme and with two 
official themes, same thing.
Same thing in real nand and in neek nand.
The only other homebrew where I saw the exact same artefact was Mighty Channel.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to see ntfs games
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
non riesco a visualizzare i giochi in ntfs. Postloader rimane bloccato

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
postloader b28

Please provide any additional information below.

hbc 1.1.0
Hd usb with 2 partition 1for gc games (fat32) and one for wii games (ntfs) 
2ndpartition

It is nice to be able to move the ploader folder to USB, but it cannot be done 
in reverse, so could you add this small bit perhaps?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go in any view.
2. try and move around(with for example + or -).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Smooth moving around, instead postloader moves around a bit laggy.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version - 4.b32

Please provide any additional information below.
It may not be to much, but it is just i do see the detail(see me as a 
perfectionist :P).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install postloader to USB only
2. Install forwarder channel v4
3. Launch forwarder from system menu

What is the expected output?
- postloader launches

What do you see instead?
- black screen

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- latest, 4.3U

Please provide any additional information below.
- USB installation of postloader launches fine from Homebrew Channel, and SD 
installation of postloader launches fine from postloader forwarder channel v4.

There is a bit of a annonyance in the loader, folks can launch the wii menu or 
homebrew channel and then do stuff like launch homebrew, making the password 
system useless, without me being able to stop them.

So if you want to do it, or make it customizeable with a option/config, or make 
it auto protected when enabling "parental control".

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start postloader
2. Cover-Download for Wii-Games
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Black Screen With Exception, Code/Stack-Dump, then restarts postloader

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Wii EmuNand, neek2o, 4.3E

Please provide any additional information below.

It's not a real issue but a suggestion.
I notice that landscape covers for wiiware and vc games are not always 
available. 20% of WW and VC channels are thus without covers.
So I would like to suggest portrayed covers in portrayed placeholders for WW 
and VC channels (as it has been done in game mode).
What do you think ?

if you leave "ret < 0" at line 351 , the program will never initialize 
nandConfig

Bye

I have an request to add a option where you can hide homebrew by selecting them 
like the sort option.

I came up with this request after hiding some homebrew/channel apps, but having 
to deal with a reload after every change :/.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Remove all signs of postloader(usb/sd/apps/postloader, usb/sd/postloader)
2. Load neekbooter directly or using the Channel plforwarder.4.wad

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Postloader should load what is in boot.dol/elf, as seen in the source code 
neekbooter/source/main.c (which is bad practice actually), instead blackscreens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I do not know the version of neekbooter, but it should be the same as inside 
plforwarder.4.wad.

Please provide any additional information below.
I consinder it bad practice loading boot.dol/elf from the root, as most to 
everyone uses those path's+filename for bootmii or something else.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install fowarder channel to emulated nand
2. launch

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of postloader starting I get returned to the uneek system menu.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
postloader 3.65 on emulated 4.1U UNEEK-DI (neeek2o)

Please provide any additional information below.
on one attempt I got 2 short flashes which seem to indict a missing TMD 
whatever that is.

As i see in my testing, the wii64 inside the emu_plugins_2.zip has no ability 
to make snapshots of the gameplay, unlike the rest.

Because this one is a mod of the original, having a autoload of games that is 
started, are you able to implent a snapshot feature?

If you do, you will have made so many people happy, a placement for the button 
can be inside "Current Rom" menu next to "Save State".

What steps will reproduce the problem?
from postloader Games menu load CoD MW3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: past the 2nd screen with instructions for nunchacku I see in the 
lower left corner "Caricamento..." then the MW3 logo, and the game will load 
correctly.

Instead: past the 2nd screen with instructions for nunchacku I see in the lower 
left corner "Caricamento..."  then nothing happens. The MW3 logo doesn't popup, 
but the game is not in hang, in fact if I press red button on wiimote, the wii 
turns off.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I use postloader 3.57.5 from neek2o, emu nand 4.3e

Please provide any additional information below.
If I load System Menu and I load my MW3 image in channel disc and run it, then 
it works.
When I load MW3 from postloader I see "loading disc using slot 163" or 
something like that. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Postloader.
2. Go to "Config".
3. Click on "Online update..".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should update to 4.b36(devolution suppport+categorii fix :D), instead it 
says it cannot find the files to update, even if they do exist(happened at 
4.b30-34 for me).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
4.b34

Please provide any additional information below.
I would love to have the newest version, but i cannot even download them from 
code.google.

I have another suggestion, can you make the "taskbar", where the exit button, 
config, etc is, customizeable?

It would be much better for most likely, everyone, instead of a set homebrew 
that will only show up if it exists.

If your gonna do that, try to make it possible to be done or ingame inside the 
B button menu, or by drag drop functionality(like windows 7 superbar), or 
inside a config.

As written on this page 
http://code.google.com/p/diosmios/wiki/FAQ#My_system_shuts_down_when_using_NMM_w
hile_loading/saving
the no-disc patch has no use anymore, dios-mios now checks itself if a disc is 
in the drive or not.

It may not be much, but it makes postloader a little more up-to-date to 
dios-mios.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install a homebrew or replace the cover with one that uses transparency in 
it.
2. Load Postloader.
3. Load applications menu.
4. Click on any homebrew to see the cover closer-up.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Covers should look fine, as usual. Instead, they look bad, as postloader does 
not show the transparency it uses.

Lastest >;), jk, b4.04

Please provide any additional information below.
You have improved Postloader greatly over the time, though it still has some 
issues, that all need to be fixed :P.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Hope to add Multi-country language support，like Chinese，Franch ，and so 
on。

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

using 3.67.3？wii 3.2u

Please provide any additional information below.

My suggestion, is to add an optional cache for homebrew apps(like with the wii 
or gamecube loader) to dramaticly speed-up loading(at the cost of seeing new 
homebrew).

This cache should be optional and be turned off by default(unless you prefer 
on) so any misunderstandings can be avoided(such as: why are my new homebrew no 
found!??)

I noticed a while that there is a folder called config, i think it would be 
better if all configs would be inside that folder.

Right now it is unused, so why not use it P: now? Or if your planning to do it 
in stable versions, else i'll let you do your thing as usual.

The files you could keep on ploader/ would be plugins.conf, titles.txt and 
other user-editable files.

I suggest to add a clock and date, it is a handy and hard to leave piece when i 
ditched wii menu.

Lets say, a main menu just does not feel complete without it.

Sooo, if you want to do it, add it please :3.

oh, and also make it customizeable for folks so they can place the string on 
any x/y cord inside theme's, the standard should be the right-bottom cornor or 
the top next to "page 1".

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Insert any gamecube disc
2. Select "Run disc"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should run the game, it is a retail. Instead, it will bring me back to 
postloader, as if it failed to run/did not find the game.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
4.b33(same issue from 4.b30)

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried to see if this is a dios mios or wii issue by reverting the mios to 
normal and testing the disc loader in the wii menu and different loaders, which 
all worked.

I suggest to make postloader auto reload the cache whenever someone takes the 
device in or out.

Reason: It keeps the old settings and games seen last time, but they do not 
exist as no device is in the port, so if someone selects and tries to start the 
game, it won't load and black-screens.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start a game not available on SD

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Game should start but instead a black screen with an error occured.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Postloader 3.66.0

Please provide any additional information below.
This don't happen everytime, but quite often, none of the games will start 
after this until a dosfsck or chkdsk is run on the card.

System menu 4.3
Integral 16gb sdhc with fat32, 64k clusters

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go in channel mode and press 2 to go in "Filter menu" 
2. Deselect everything but keep TurboGraFX and Nintendo64.
3. Press <B> to close 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Postloader channel and neek2o channel should only appear when "Standard 
Channels" or "others" filter are selected.
Instead, Postloader appears now in TurboGraFX category and neek2o in Nintendo64 
category.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
postloader.3.48.2

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install d2x-v9-beta(r49) as 246,247,248,249,250,251,...
2. boot postloader 1st time ok; everything operates normally.
3. enhance compatibility with a number of games by going to advanced and 
selecting load cios at boot, exit the screen (just restarting seems to revert 
the setting?...) then restart.
4. on boot with usb and sd drive plugged in like normal the system fully 
freezes. Until you remove the usb at boot. 

This problem can be replicated on many systems.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
normal boot operation

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
postloader.4.b34.zip postloader.4.b32.zip , ... as far back as the release of 
d2x-v9

Please provide any additional information below.
I have attempted reverting back tp d2x-v8 and everything is fine in this 
condition. I also find it strange how I am the first or at least can't seem to 
find any information on this.
