texture swap support from gecko os.
switch/choose between 3d/2d covers and choose between fading or instantanious showup i think it won't coming because it would cause more folders and more files on the sd.
implement a switch to select the USB (1 or 2 or both) port for loading devicenot possible with waninkokos cIOS r13
download themes from internet with loader and automatically apply them
searching for games via onscreen keyboard
customizable button mapping via config (for install/delete/parentcontroll etc.)
channel animations instead of boxarts (read the Opening.BNR from the ISO)
change keymapping on the d-pad
set the behav. of the "Wii"button in settings (to HBC or Wii Menu)
Source:
[color="#4169e1"]to compile the source by yourself you need the latest [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]. Extract it to your devkit/libogc folder.

I can't get any of the cover art or disc art to show I have them on the root of the SD card .
images/disc
If you have internet connectivity, you can download them natively in the loader by clicking on the box, and telling it to download.
There is also an option of where your cover art should be in customize I think.
Good luck, I've been using this loader, and it rocks!
I tried installing the latest cios 38 revision 13a and the latest revision of the USB Loader GX channel (r533) the other night and noticed that I could get possibly one game to play and then the loader would not recognize my drive after that. I thought that maybe it was linked to the new cios because I had read that 13 had issues with USB loaders so I tried to install cios 38 revision 12 instead. It produced the same issue. In fact, I dropped back to cios 36 version 10, which I used before with USB Loader GX r442 with no problems, and r533 had issues recognizing the drive then too.
I really want to move to version 13 of cios but it seems like the latest version of USB Loader GX has a problem with my HDD when earlier versions did not. I am using a 320GB Iomega drive and am on 4.0u firmware. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there any work around or fix that will keep the loader recognizing my drive?

Yes, that is a known issue with Rev13.
It is a little inconvenient to turn off the power after each game, to load the next one, but other than that, it works really well.

Thanks for the response. The problem that I was having is that the drive was never being recognized again even after a hard reset. Very frustrating.
I tried using NeoGamma R4 and it has no problem recognizing the drive every time but it does force me to restart the Wii between games like you mentioned. That is better than not reading the HDD though!! Here's hoping that cios version 14 is coming soon to fix it.

You now no longer need cIOS rev13 to run all the new games...
If you install cIOS36 rev10 or better yet cIOS38 rev12 you can run all the new games as well as all your old ones if you turn on error 002 fix AND anti 002 fix both in the global game load settings or r543 or r550 of USB Loader GX - you probably want to delete your config files as well so there is no confusion about the new settings.
This is assuming you set up your WBFS partition as a primary partition to begin with, though

I stopped using the USB Loader GX channel and decided to try the regular app that is getting updated more frequently. I made sure I was at the latest revision (570) and I reinstalled cios version 13a just to test it out. I found that I had none of the problems that I had in the past. This version has no issues reading my hard drive and also does not seem to have the problems with the newest cios (13a not 13b). It loads games one right after the other without having to turn off the Wii including the latest games like Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters and the Conduit. I have since uninstalled the channel and installed the Forwarder instead.
I figured that I would share this information for anyone having similar problems.
BTW: 4.0U softmod, cios38rev13a, HBC 1.0.3, USB Loader GX r570
