Changelog since last revision:
- add banner/icon animation support for wii games / channels / gamecube
- add custom banner for gamecube which loads the gamecube internal opening.bnr information (it is much better than the generic one of the system menu) (big thanks to diddy from the wiithemeteam for creating the brlyt/brlan for the banner)
- add gamecube banner of system menu (not used right now since it sucks)
- add banner grid of the system menu (resources loaded from nand) (with button highliter)
- add big banner frame window of the system menu (resources loaded from nand). the banner window has buttons "Settings" and "Start" by default. if parental control is enabled the "Settings" button is replaced by "Back"
- add play count text to the banner frame window (can be disabled as up until now in the gui settings)
- add zoom in/out/scroll animations to banner grid and change into big frame window
- add loading gc banners from ISO and DVD
- add loading wii banners from DVD discs even if the game is not installed
- add favorite level setting to the game settings since it is no longer on the banner frame window
- add new settings section for banner settings
- add option to choose between disc window and banner window
- added back ehci module to support 2 usb drives and re-enabled the option
- add option for 2 usb drives for d2x cIOS as well (will be supported in the future, not yet)
- exchanged "GC Games" and "EmuNand Channels" on the game selection screen (more space for translators)
- add and fixed gui numpad for entering numbers of any kind
- add setting for tooltip delay time
- fix reload of cover image on game list when only 1 item is left after a change (e.g. sort)

- many source cleanups
- add bnr chace setting
- add DML configuration from the loader
- removed creation of temporary "boot.bin" file
- DML custom game paths.
Additionally i added support for following forms of paths:
1. configpath/gamepath/game.iso
2. configpath/gamepath/game.gcm
3. configpath/gamepath/GAMEID6.iso
4. configpath/gamepath/GAMEID6.gcm
Where gamepath can be anything you want inside the configure path in the custom path settings.
I don't know if GCM files are allowed by DML but i just added support for it just in case.
Changing path to USB is not blocked currently but games won't run from USB just keep that in mind.
The "copy to SD before start" feature is not added yet. Listing the games should work though
- DML cheats now work the same way as for wii, gct goes to "Cheatcode Path" as GAMEID.gct (same as on wii)
- several DML internal configs are added as per game/global settings
- added load of last cheat configuration from GCT files
- added init of network into background thread so it is cancelable and has a timeout
- added gc games copy from USB to SD on demand with choice menu to delete SD games to make space, SD games path can be chosen seperately from main gc path.
all dupicate sd games are prefered then the main path to allow direct boot of games that are already on sd. main path can be on USB or anywhere else.
- added gc disc dump functionality with multidisc, compress and align support (thanks to FIX94 and Overjoy for their disc dump source on which this is based)
- added selection menu for gc multidisc which game to install
- fixed loading game ID when it can't be read from path for GC games and with that loading the titles from GameTDB for them
- lots of string handling improvements (thanks to gerbilsoft for his patch)
- added gamecube banner cache loading (only loading) if available with GAMEID6.bnr or ID3.bnr in the banner cache path. wii games/channels also accept now ID3.bnr.
- added several progress bar cancel buttons on some missing progress windows
- improved calculation of progress speed. now it is always the last 15 secs average instead of overall progress speed.
- added pulsing new icon on banner grid layout for new games
- added resize of widescreen screenshots to 768 width
- added mii extract on save game extract if the file does not yet exists
- added mii extractor and SYSCONF extractor that always extracts and overwrites old files
- changed wifi gecko to UDP socket
- support for DML v1.2+
NOTE:
Banner animation support requires AHBPROT flag to be enabled. If you use old HBC you should use our forwarder or update the HBC otherwise you wont have that support.
I am hoping that now the themers and the translators can catch up with their stuff for the next upcomming official release.
*added channel hooking (real and emu).
*proper catch of none existing cheats on server if file is not found
*added back channel nand emulation mode and per game nand emu settings for channels (emulation mode can't be set to OFF for emu channels)
*improved handle of cached titles. (on first boot of this revision the cache title file will be renewed)
*settings title, keyboard text and key color can be changed by themes now
*added optional background image for list/carousel/grid layouts. The files do not actually exist in the loader. They are loaded if they exists otherwise the default background image is used.See here for filenames: http://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/source/browse/trunk/source/themes/filelist.h?r=1148#776
*add flush of homebrew memory before launching app_booter
*change: if titles from wiitdb is not enabled the title will be read from game disc header on /title [ID6]/[ID6].wbfs (iso/ciso) pattern. Title caching can still be used and is recommended in that case.
*added keep of AHBPROT flag on IOS Reload. Homebrews booted now have AHBPROT. (thanks davebaol)
*fixed loading ocarina files from SD when doing nand emulation from SD
*fix port libs includes reference in Makefile
*add loading of wii games / nand channels / emu nand channels in all combinations into one list
*add button on main view for quick choice between the combinations of the three
*add "Real Nand" or "Emulated Nand" text on the game window prompt when starting a channel
*removed the need of a cIOS to launch the loader (if anyone uses it with IOS58 for whatever reason). The warning that a cIOS is needed is still present.
*removed support for both usb ports at once on hermes cIOS. Each can still be used individually but only one at a time. This is done because of some bugs in the new ehci module which make some games unbootable. The ehcimodule is now reverted to the last working one. Need feedback if the games work fine again.
*some preparations for the upcoming stealth mode feature of the d2x cIOS
*isfs is now initiated once and deinitated when cleaning up only (instead of the whole init/deinit every single access)
*removed choice for emulated nand channel modes. Emulated nand channels always need full emulation which is now always used on emu nand for channels.
*removed unused settings for channels from the per game setting
*changed default partition to 0 when starting with fresh settings (instead of -1 wtf?)
*added saving of game browser position (on all modes)
*several cleanups and small fixes
*added a "Block Category Menu" setting
*fixed bug with parental block and game settings (thanks NJ7 for finding it)
*fixed "All" not being translated in category menu
*fixed crashes on category add/delete/rename
*changed icon of category rename and mapped triggers +/-/1 to the buttons
*fixed green bar flash on game start
*fixed freeze in STATE_DISABLED when leaving->entering->saving game settings
*separated a few settings from the GUI setting and created a "Feature" settings menu
*Updated language files
*Added Wiinnertag support.
NOTE:
When you enable the Wiinnertag in the settings a prompt will come up if the Wiinnertag.xml does not exists in the setup path for it. This prompt will ask you if you want an example file created by the loader which you can adjust to your account (I suggest you create one on first use). Multiple/Other tag sites can be setup in the xml file and loader will execute them all one after another. Also Wiinnertag requires a network connection established to be working. When you enable this feature and auto network init is disabled you will be prompted to enable it.
*Created an own class for the homebrew prompt
*Created scrollbar class which is now used on every browser
*Created a checkbox browser list class

*Fixed SD Reload button to really reload the SD after it was ejected (Issue 1923)
*Added booting with arguements from meta.xml for homebrews (Issue 1926)
*Added some arguments acception from meta.xml to our app. "-ios=xxx" and "-usbport=x" or "--ios=xxx" and "--usbport=x" can be used. -usbport is for Hermes cIOS to decide which usb port to use on startup. The ios is the boot IOS on startup, it always overrides the compiled boot IOS into the application.

*Fix We Dare anti piracy protection (thx oggzee)
*Fix Wip patching
*IOS reload block working with d2x v6 beta1+ with all filesystems

*With new d2x v6 beta1+ sector sizes other than 512 bytes per sector should be supported on ext/ntfs (maybe fat too) (NOT TESTED, need feedback)
*Added a "Details" button on the GameWindowPrompt which calls the game info window
*Added a cache titles setting. You can disable caching titles with that. Also when re-enabling this option the cache file is newly generated. This is there so it is possible to reset a false cached title without having to delete the "TitlesCache.bin"
*Added button 2 on zoom mode of 3D Boxes to rotate the box fast by 180°
*Increased speed for box rotating with WiiMote D-Pad
*Changed to update disc drive status only 1 time per second in the main menu (instead of every ~100ns)
*Removed global "locked games" for per game lock option which is not really useful anyway since you have to save in the game the lock status
*Removed a few unused setting variables
*Updated some language files
*WiiMote desync problem fixed
*Removed "free space warning prompt" on fat32 partitions now
*Changed default free space option to ON
*Remove id button on other layouts than list view

*Several small bug fixes and cleanups
*Fixed "Bannersound + BG Music after it" mode
*Updated language files
*Added initialized too all the cheat variables (that was bad...i wonder how it didn't go wrong)

*Fixed rockout reset after leaving the GameWindowPrompt
*Added limit to page indicators to 5 and rotate them
*Corrected Screensaver appearance on startup after 30sec of unconnected WiiMote
*Complete rewrite of theme downloader. (Downloading themes is not working currently because Deak Phreak changed something on wii.spiffy360.com. He said it's going to be changed back soon)
*Added possibility to load theme images from a folder with the same name as the .them file. The "Image-Folder: Example\n" from the .them file is prioritized.
*Updated some language files. (Translators please redownload the files from SVN. Many files had a lot of errors in them)
*Added ignore of partition type and detect WBFS/FAT/NTFS partitions from their boot record sector (damn lazy partition managers which are not always editing the MBR)
*Fixed Font loading. The font.ttf is loaded from the path with .thems if it exists there.
When a Theme is loaded and a font.ttf file exists in the defined "Image-Folder:" than this font.ttf will override all others. This ensures support for themes with special fonts.
*Fixed double count on playcount bug
*Updated libext2fs to git snapshot 2010-12-24
*Added proper close of all file systems where the games are loaded from (FAT32/NTFS/EXT)

*Added sources of the custom libs to the branches
*Fixed crash when switching from list layout to grid/carousel layout
*Removed 1:1 copy option because its meaningless and almost the same as installing all partitions

*Fixed schinese and tchinese language modes (filename bugs. has to be schinese.lang and tchinese.lang like on SVN)
*Fixed bug in sound buffer circle
*Fixed incorrect behaviour of x-flip when selecting system like (thx Cyan for the patch)
*Accept ios revision 65535 for Waninkokos IOSes (thx to PPSainity for pointing it out)
*Merged the new theming style branch into trunk. Just as a reminder: ALL old themes will not work until the themers did port it to the new style!
*Removed old theme style completely
Theme example:
The example file of the theme is the Default.them file. It can be found in the SVN trunk.
Change in loading of themes:
When selecting a theme now a list of all .them files in a folder is displayed. The image folder of that theme has to be in the same folder as the .them file. The image path is defined in the head of the .them file in the line with "Image-Folder: Example\n".
