== 1.5 Code Dump ==
Awesome, glad to see that your working hard on this project. Its a really awesome app and has a lot of potential. I'll get to work on the wiki page. I also have a few suggestions that might make the code downloader easier to use: 1. Initial list after selecting region, shows a A-Z list that when accessed only show games that start with that letter. This will make finding games easier to do and there will be less long scrolling to go through. 2. Is there anyway to make the code downloader not exit to the Homebrew channel after downloading and just have it go back to the list? Anyways thanks for the quick response.--[[User:Kahlua18|Kahlua18]] 18:06, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 
  
Great work on the wiki page. I hope to implement the alphabetical listing but I have to set up a diffrent file parser to work with those pages. I used the all selection from the php script to build this version. The reason you can only download one file at a time is to limit use on the wiird database server. Inconvience saves bandwidth.--[[User:Linus|Linus]] 23:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Very well done, but I should call it Cheat Downloader. [[User:Duhow|Duhow]]
 
 
 
== Code dump w/ Zelda PAL cheat file ==
 
 
 
Hello !<br />
 
I'm trying to download the TXT cheat file for Zelda Twilight (PAL) but it ends with a code dump and nothing in the directory. I tried other cheat files but no problem, only Zelda ends with a code dump :(. <br/>
 
Any idea ? Thanks anyway, good HB :) [[User:OuahOuah|OuahOuah]] 14:18, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
You need to upgrade to 1.1. This fatal error is cause by colins in the file name and was fixed with the newest version. It will hopefully be added to the HBB soon or you can download if from the wiki page.--[[User:Linus|Linus]] 18:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== won't work from HBC ==
 
Why when I try this in the Homebrew Channel it says "this is not a valid Wii application"?  I changed it from elf to dol using the [[ELF to DOL Converter]].  Is anyone else having this problem? --<font face="Alba Super">[[User:Funkamatic|<font color="red">FUNK<font color="black">A</font>MATIC</font>]]</font>  <font face="Copperplate Gothic Light">[[User talk:funkamatic|(talk)]]</font> 01:47, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 
: With this application you don't need to change it to .dol, the .elf is valid. --[[User:Teknecal|Teknecal]] 02:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Source Code ==
 
 
 
Hello I am a representative of Softmii.org which is a Wii software baised modding community that offers region free and backup support for the disk channel... along with custom Wii startup graphics and custom Wii System Menus. There is already a stable... well working build to install these custom system menus but I was curious if I could use your (linus) Code Downloader
 
Source Code to modify it to download Custom Menus off the Softmii servers for a better user experience
 
 
 
Thank you in Advance,

Im not releasing the source to prevent people from changing it to abuse the usbgecko server, but I can point you in the right direction. Anyway code downloader just gets null terminated ascii text so you couldnt use it to download updates. This is a link to the network code I used. http://code.google.com/p/wiihttp/source/browse/trunk/source/main.c
 
 
 
Now if you want a more appropriate starting point you can check out the netsend example from teknecal here. [[:Image:Sample netsend.zip]]
 
 
 
Or better still look at the source to wiiearth.
 
http://code.google.com/p/wiiearth/source/browse/trunk/MyWiiEarth/source/http.c
 
 
 
and if thats not enough here is the source for fceu gx.

== Proxy Bug ==
 
 
 
When using a transparent proxy on your network (in my case squid) you may get part of the HTTP headers in your downloaded file. This prevents the cheat codes from saving properly with WiiCM, because it makes the filename the first line of the code. When the headers are included, the first lines are:
 
X-Cache: MISS from myserver.MYDOMAIN
 
X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from myserver.MYDOMAIN:3128
 
 
 
Let me know if you need more information. I also wouldn't mind fixing this - see your user talk page. --[[User:Slimjim8094|Slimjim8094]] 20:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Can't get it to work ==
 
 
 
It goes to get the IP for 15 seconds then returns to the HBC. HBC version: 1.01, Code Downloader version: 1.2, internet connection: fast enough, code site works, router : linksys RangePlus Wireless Router, tested to work.--[[User:Retrotails|retrotails]] 04:33, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
If code downloader exits before displaying the region selection that means it was unable to get you ip address. Try and wait until the Homebrew Channel has established a network connection(the little globe in the bottom right corner stops flashing and stays white not grey). Also just try and restart the app a few time.--[[User:Linus|Linus]] 15:31, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
==Keep application loaded when finished downloading for mass downloading==
 
It works pretty well for me. But every time I download one code it goes back to HBC. Could you keep the app on when finished download so that I can download a lot of cheats with a few amount of button pressing? --[[User:Mjbauer95|Mjbauer95]] 15:56, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
== No longer works ==
 
This app needs to be updated to work with the new database. It was modified to offer more organization and to include VC/Wiiware codes.--[[User:Funkamatic|<font face="Copperplate Gothic Light"><font color="black">FUNK</font><font color="red">AMATIC</font></font>]][[User talk:Funkamatic|<font face="Impact"><font color="grey">  ~talk</font></font>]] 11:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
Sorry it took so long but Ive updated the url's to correctly match the new wiird database. Everyone should update to version 1.3. Currently code downloader still only supports the full lists of wii games for the three regions. Hopefully in the future I will add VC and wiiware.--[[User:Linus|Linus]] 23:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 
:awesome!  Thanks a lot.  Hope to see the VC/Wiiware update soon.--[[User:Funkamatic|<font face="Copperplate Gothic Light"><font color="black">FUNK</font><font color="red">AMATIC</font></font>]][[User talk:Funkamatic|<font face="Impact"><font color="grey">  ~talk</font></font>]] 02:23, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
== No longer Works...Again ==
 
I don't know if they updated the database again or if it's the apps fault, but it doesn't work again.  And can we Pretty Please get VC/WiiWare/Channel support this time?!?!--[[User:Funkamatic|<font face="Copperplate Gothic Light"><font color="black">FUNK</font><font color="red">AMATIC</font></font>]][[User talk:Funkamatic|<font face="Impact"><font color="grey">  ~talk</font></font>]] 16:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 
 
 
I checked this report yesterday and everything worked fine, but today the code database website is down. I would guess this is what happened when you last tried to use it. http://www.usbgecko.com/codes/ Check out the website and see for yourself. If you are patient I'm sure James0x57 will get it up and running again soon.--[[User:Linus|Linus]] 23:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to everyone but this update only worked for one day. James0x57 added Google Analytics to the end of the page and the file parsing now hangs. I will get another update soon.[[User:Linus|Linus]] 08:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

It should take about 15-20 seconds to download. Check you wii wifi settings, make sure you are using version 1.5 and wait for the globe icon to stop blinking on the HBC before loading. I tested it again just now and had no problems.[[User:Linus|Linus]] 00:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
