Changelog

4.7.96

• postLoader now supports booting Nintendont via argsboot.
• postLoader will no longer boot Nintendont versions lower than 1.98.
• postLoader will now print Nintendont version information in the debug log, if Nintendont 3.324 or newer is found.
• PostLoader's autoupdate server has moved, and has been updated accordingly (my unofficial builds are still not on there, though).

4.7.95

• UI: Support Wii U Pro Controllers, thanks to FIX94's libwupc.

4.7.94

• Nintendont: Fix auto video mode (it was broken, forcing NTSC all the time).
• UI: Fix the "restart postLoader" option for USB. It wasn't even attempting to restart the application.
• UI: Add a menu option to reboot the Wii to Priiloader, bypassing its autoboot.
• UI: Let the GC analog triggers change pages when partially held down, instead of only working when entirely pressed.
• UI: Hide the default video mode menu option for Nintendont, it didn't work anyway.
• UI: Hide the manual MIOS install option when under Nintendont and Devolution, they don't use MIOS at all.
• UI: Added AHBPROT info to the about screen (the + next to IOS is nice, but it's not immediately obvious what it means).
• UI: Added Xerpi (libsicksaxis), Crediar, and Nintendont Team to credits.
• UI: Fix a few more English typos.

4.7.93

• Nintendont: Allow video mode forcing.
• Nintendont: Add a menu option to enable cheats. postLoader just lets Nintendont handle where the file is.
• UI: Dualshock 3 controllers are now supported thanks to libsicksaxis (and a corresponding wrapper to make it resemble WPAD). Just connect it and press the PS button to use it. It has the same button layout as Nintendont.
• UI: postLoader should now work with UStealth drives. This feature is mostly untested, however.

4.7.92

• UI: Display useful error messages for GC games that fail to boot (Nintendont only, for now).
• Nintendont: Don't try to boot if Nintendont isn't even installed.
• Nintendont: Fix a stupid bug where postLoader would look on the wrong device for games.
• Nintendont: Start initial work on cheat support (disabled for now).

4.7.91

• Use a slightly different versioning scheme, since the following changes don't warrant the next major version (4.8.0).
• Nintendont: Remove some redundant safety checks, and simplify the booting code.
• Nintendont: Add a menu option to boot games in supported languages.
• Nintendont: Clean out/delete ndebug.log on every boot to perform as clean of a boot as possible.

4.7.9

• Nintendont support: save and load the HID controller option properly.
• Don't show the Nintendont HID option if running on Wii U. The option -must- be on, on Wii U.

4.7.8

• Revert the Nintendont crash "fix" (it was really on Nintendont's end). Please use Nintendont 1.61 or higher for less chances of crashing before

a game boots.

• Nintendont support: turn on memory card emulation by default if the play count is < 2.

4.7.7

• Finally fix the Nintendont loader crash for real.
• Tell Nintendont to use the OSReport patch (useful for USB Gecko output when running GC games).
• Don't boot Nintendont if the configuration file (nincfg.bin) can't be written.
• Support the newer "<ahb_access/>" tag when deciding on reloading IOS or not.
• Misc. English grammatical tweaks.

4.7.6

• Fix some English grammatical issues.
• Attempt to fix crash when booting Nintendont off SD (no promises, though).
• Log more verbosely when booting Nintendont, for debugging purposes.
