[Resolved] PostLoader "No configuration file was found"

Post by speendash »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello everyone.

So here is my problem, hoping you can help me.

I'm using PostLoader (the latest version, 4.4.4) that I set up with priiloader to boot at the Wii's startup, so far nothing extraordinary, but the issue is that every time Postloader launches at startup it gives me the message "No configuration file was found" so I press "create on USB and Start Postloader" and it launches but when I turn off my Wii and turn it back on the same message shows again, as if it didn't detect it or hadn't created the config file...

I should mention that my SD port is dead so I use my hard drive entirely over USB.

would you have an idea what's causing this problem? is an SD card absolutely required?

Also another small issue (well it's less serious but still) when I go to the "Wii games" section the postloader doesn't detect my wii games which are nevertheless correctly installed on the HardDrive and by the way I can launch them without any problem from USB Loader GX, and yet, for a Game cube game (the only game I have on USB) it detects it in the "GC Games" category without any problem O.O

on that too, would you have an idea please?

First, try again after updating to version 4.4.5 and secondly, try launching it from the HBC.

You can also try it the other way around. ;)

Ayatus> thanks a lot mates! you really rock! I just launched PostLoader from the HBC then restarted my wii and this time there was no message! it's crazy how silly that was lol. Thanks again.

Also I wanted to know about the wii games that are on my Hard drive with USB Loader, do you have any idea why they aren't shown in the "Wii games" menu of Postloader? like I said at the start weirdly with the gamecube game installed on my Hard drive, no problem it's in the "Game Cube Games" category of postLoader, but the wii games aren't, it tells me: "No games found, please rebuild the cache" and when I do that, well still nothing, I also tried checking the filters and same thing, nothing... any idea?

Odd, it detects my backups just fine whether on the FAT32 or NTFS partition.

I'm not sure but it only recognizes games installed in the "games" folder and not in "wbfs".
It sees a game decompressed for UNEEK, but I haven't tried with a game in wbfs.
There might be a way to configure postloader to look in "wbfs"...

My Wii backups are indeed in a wbfs folder.

More precisely, they're of the type wbfs/TITLE [ID].wbfs.

Indeed that works fine. Strangely for me, postloader only sees games from the first partition and shows them tripled! with fat1/fat2/fat3 as if they were on 3 partitions.. would you have an idea to work around this issue?
And my decompressed tintin for uneek is recognized as a GC game because it's in the "games" folder.

Ah, I admit I've never paid attention to the folder name of my USB games or even their structure... just that it works on usb Loader, that's it...

well anyway that's not a big deal, it's not a problem (well for me at least)
Thanks for your help!
