Allow to run RvLoader from SD card

[creedof69]

Hello I'm here to submit another idea.
I know if there is already a way that works why would you spend time to do this but, that would be great if We could choose to run Rvloader from the sd card just like other loader. That would permit us (me, but I imagine I'm not the only one) to concentrate all file in the same device. Games in usb drive, Homebrews in sd card. For exemple I had to change the directory of covers for usbloadergx if I would rvloader displayed covers without doubled them.
I hope you will think about it. Thanks for reading

I'm working on implementing code that allows the use of SD memories. I have practically set everything up to load GC games and HBC. To start VC and Wii games, it's necessary to incorporate the configuration into Hiidra, but its source code is not yet available,
I hope it can be published soon.

Do you have a fork I can look at? Hiidra's source will be released soon-ish most likely

Of course, I'm not really a software developer. I have some knowledge of C and CPP. I used AI to understand the base code and integrated the sdhc and wiisd_io libraries to mount the SD instead of the USB. I replaced the directories for covers, themes, etc. with those on the SD. So far, it works perfectly in the tests. In order to load Wii and VC games, I need to have a clone of the SD data on the USB because Hiidra directs itself to the USB upon startup.

I don't know how your code is, if you strictly take back the Aurelio one or not, but the "must have" would be to be able to set folder paths in the loader settings. Like this, anyone could run Rvloader from device they want, choose a custom location for Nintendont, Cover and others...

For now, just for testing purposes, I replaced the USB directories with the SD directories. However, my intention is to establish the device selection from the bootloader, so we can choose from where we want our RVLoader to start.
