Released on 2012 05 12
ATTENTION:
USB Loader GX Version 3.0 introduces a new auto-update mechanism which is not compatible with old versions. (The old host is offline)
If you are still using an old version of USB Loader GX, you need to update manually.
Download the latest version or use our easy installer for Windows available on our website. http://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/downloads/list
You can also check how to install or update manually here: http://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/wiki/Installation
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
New:
- Added a new Layout: Channel grid mode! Channel grid displays games as channels and plays banner animations like the real Wii System Menu.
Channel grid mode and banner animation requires AHBPROT flags to load resource files directly from your Wii.
If you use an old HBC you should use our latest forwarder or update the HBC otherwise you wont have that support.
- Added Channel launching from Emulated NAND. (big thanks to TriiForce guys and Miigotu)
- Added GameCube games launching from SD Card through Dios Mios Lite (DML). (thanks to G0dLiKe, crediar, all DML devs and FIX94)
Check DML website here http://code.google.com/p/dios-mios-lite-source-project/
- Added direct install/uninstall of WAD files to the Emulated NAND Channel path in the features settings menu.
- Added a new icon in the toolbar to select the origin of the titles: Wii games, Channels from Wii, Channels from EmuNand, GameCube games.
- Added the possibility to boot USB Loader GX without an HDD connected (It will fall back to "Channel from Wii" title's origin).
- Added an option to choose which Game Window mode to use between the old "Rotating Disc" or the new "Banner Animation".
- Added the favorite level setting to the game settings since it is no longer displayed when using "Banner Animation" game window mode.
- Added an option to adjust the screen size for overscan TVs (Use negative values to shrink the display).
- Added display of game's size from Wii disc games on the game window prompt (Rotating disc mode only).
- Added a button in the search window to switch between "Beginning" and "Content" search methods.

- Added delete of full cover on art work uninstall and game uninstall.
- Added a parental control option to block priiloader override on return to system menu.
- Added a prompt asking for downloading new language files when trying to update and no language files exist yet.

- Added a new option to force reading the game's titles from disc header.
- Added renaming of internal TitleID of all HBC versions to JODI for GameTDB to find it.
- Added a cheat update button to re-download the cheat text file.
- Added a cancel button to several progress bar windows: Game installation, NAND extraction, etc.
- Added separate path and setting for Emulated NAND Saves and Emulated NAND Channels.
- Added per game NAND emulation path setting.
- Added Mii extractor and SYSCONF file extractor to Emulated NAND. It always overwrites old files.
- Added automatic Mii extraction on save game extract if the Mii file does not exist yet on Emulated NAND.

- Added auto position of progress window messages in vertical direction depending of how many are used at the same time.
- If "Titles from GameTDB" is not enabled the title will be read from the folder name if possible or from the game disc header.
Title caching can still be used and is recommended in that case.

- DML cheats now work the same way as for other Wii games, gct goes to "GCT Cheatcode Path" as GAMEID.gct
- GameCube games copy from USB to SD on demand with choice menu to delete SD games to make space,
If you want to use this feature then set the "Main GC path" to USB and the "SD GameCube path" to SD card.
If duplicated games are detected on SD and USB, the games on SD will be prioritized.
- Added GameCube disc dump functionality with multi-disc menu game selection, compress and align support
(thanks to FIX94 and Overjoy for their disc dump sources on which this is based).

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)

- 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.

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.

*major restructuring of patching code for game patches inside the source
*Fixed reset of the loader when loading game with IOS reload and disabled WiiTDB titles (Issue 1874)

Note: You can activate multiple game partitions support in the Loader Settings. When it is active, all games from all partitions will be listed in the game list. Partitions can be mixed up as you wish wbfs/fat/ntfs/ext. When the multiple partitions feature is activated than the partition in "Game/Install Partition" setting is taken for new game installation. Also the free space amount will be shown from that game installation partition. This will be clickable in the future listing all partitions with their sizes.
*Fixed weird last random character at game info text
*Reload background/cursor/... on theme apply after download

*a few little optimisations
*Added missing switch for parental control option (caused the next option to be switched)
*Changed GetGameCFG to return default cfg if none is set
*Fixed little bug preventing the automatic alt dol feature to work
*Reworked almost everything about alternate DOL loading (I am wondering how loading from SD/USB even worked)
*Added new Option "Default" for alternate DOL which is now the default settings. This setting will select the alternate DOL automatically for games like Red Steel 1 because this alt. DOL is always needed to play the game. On games where the alt dol option is not needed the option "Default" = "OFF". This is just an attempt to make this option more automatic. Games like Metroid Prime (the only game right now) will have a prompt on game start where you choose between 1, 2 or 3 on this option because this game always requires either of these.
*Small source cleanups/fixes
*Resolve for Issue 1766 - You can now delete everything belonging to a game on deleting the game (covers/cheats/text codes...)
*Added dotted limit to the window prompt title text
*Changed to update disc drive status only 1 time per second in the main menu (instead of every ~100ns)

*Changed default free space option to ON
*Remove id button on other layouts than list view

*Lot's a small fixes
*Added WDM Menu on game start. You can set it in the alternative DOL option (one new option there). The menu lists all DOLs on the disc and if a wdm file is provided in the WDM path (configurable in the settings) than the dol parameter and dol replacement name will be taken from the wdm. The DOLs that are not listed in the WDM but exist on the DISC will be listed at the end of the list.
*Added avoid of multiple app cleanup when game fails to boot
*Changed libfat to use FS info sector on FAT32 partitions. This speeds up the free space information getting to instant. For that the FS info sector has to have correct values. The values of all partitions where homebrews were writing to are currently incorrect because the official libfat does not support FS info sector (i submited a patch) (Windows does write it correct though). That is why there needs to be a synchronization of the FS info sector for partitions used with homebrews. For this purpose a new setting was added in the Loader Settings. You can synchronize all your FAT32 partitions on the USB with it once and you are done (if you don't write to that partition with current homebrews). After that you can enable free space display and it will be instant like on WBFS/NTFS/EXT partitions.
