#2368 Several years and absolutely no Instructions about game title [ID Names]]
Please forgive my "newbie" tag/post count been playing/modding Wii's for so many years since they first come out with twilight.
I've used USB Loader GX for countless years never had an issue. I was at work the other day and heard someone saying how do you even get games to show up... I laughed and thought if you read the manual you'd know!
So... Last few days I decided to pretend to start off knowing nothing.... I'm in awe of my findings.
1.) The google code/SourceForge page goes into details how to install the application, how to install forwarders etc.
But stops dead with no instructions to the new comer what so ever about how you must mandatory label your game [ID] correctly for the system to see it?
Why is this missing it's completely pointless to a new person it's a vital part of the puzzle it's like being shown every single working part of a car/engine
but someone not explaining to get that engine started you need a key. Same thing applies if it's mandatory to have the full game title name with the original [title id] then
inside the folder the game just labeled as the [titleid] how is anyone support to know this if they've never used this before?
So I thought okay okay... Not the best place to look.... It should be! It's the project's homepage! So thought first thing people would do is google USB Loader GX sure enough it comes to GBATemp and 1279 page thread!
I thought ha ha... silly work people... It's all listed here how to label your game [ID] correctly for the program to see it.... Wrong!!!!
On the front page of the thread over at GBATemp it lists every single thing, change logs even down to how to put the paths in for nintendont..... STILL not a single mention about how to put the
games onto a drive and label them correctly lol so... I decided to start out reading page after page I got to page 29 and just stopped.
There's no where on the project homepage | On the front page | that explains anything to new people.
The two videos on youtube on the front page 1 of them is un-available the other shows GX working but doesn't show how to get actual games on the hdd/SD card?
I understand it's like 10 + years ago.... But these threads as they was wrote 10 years ago was actually present time.. So even at this time no instructions what so ever?
I know the program inside and out but only by using Wii Backup Manager. Without this programs, or other programs nobody would know how to re-name game ID titles for GX to even see the games.
When you look over at the nintendont section on this forum there's like a major chapter with examples how to do it right with title ID, what the game/disk needs to be called which is fantastic.
But for this app....Anyone who didn't have a clue who's just starting off wouldn't know how to label games? I cannot even find any mention anywhere on the front post that to do this you should
use Wii Backup Manager etc... Because without this program it would be impossible to figure all this out manually for a new person who's just getting started.
Can someone do something about this maybe to help new people? Or at least who's friends with the original poster in this thread to do something. No wonder the guys at work was so stumped.
