vWii Channel view fix #43
Conversation
|
Are other loaders on the vWii also affected and if not, what is ULGX doing wrong that others are doing right? |
I don't think any other usb loaders reference system menu assets for anything. The problem here is unique to usbloader gx because it's using the system theme in order to replicate the system menu appearance |

Can we find a way to find out the offset on pattern matching, i.e. without any reference to the PriiLoader?
The current solution is fragile for future changes.

I was thinking the best solution would be to create a list of valid content Ids which represent the system menu resources we're looking for.
For example, here's the relevant tmd which contains an entry for the system menu resources on a regular wii

Content ID 151 contains what we need, and we could just look for that rather than a specific index.
I didn't go with this approach because I couldn't find the TMD for the wii mini or vWii. If somebody can provide me with the content ID for vWii, and wii mini I can go with that approach.
The existing solution referencing a specific index rather than content ID is also brittle, and in fact is why it broke 😅

I think we'd also need them per region so, some list of content Ids, 1 per wii type (vWii, wii mini, wii) per region (EU, JP, US, etc;)

Well, how about asking for help on gbatemp? The probability of obtaining the information is probably greater than in a PR.

I probably will. You were just asking for a way to do this without using the index, and I was just elaborating.

This fixes isssues with the vWii channel view.
We determine if priiloader + vWii is in use by checking the number of entries in the tmd. If its 10, we're on vWii with priiloader and need to use index 9 for the system resources.
Assuming @wiidev doesn't come back any time soon, I've created a release of this content in my fork. I plan to merge some of the pending PRs here in to my releases over time, assuming the authors are ok with it.
Edit: Cleaned up this branch
