Hacking NeoGamma R9 beta

[WiiPower]

fstfix option s doesn't change anything for softmods, if you need that, you have one of the crappy modchips.
fstfix option t fixes game .isos that were broken by shrinking them. As far as i can see, you can apply it to all games without problems.

1:1 means 1:1, read that up.

And you can only have one MIOS or cMIOS at one time, so if you don't know which one you have, install the recommend one from this thread.

Ok, i've downloaded these...

but my question is... why fstfix using T...... appears to all files NOT FIXED?

I have to shrink it first and then use fstfix?

How I said, multi or single iso?

 

[WiiPower]

NeoGamma can't handle multi game discs if you have a modchip.

I got the Installer for WiiGator's cMIOS (with MIOSv10 as base)

and the Homebrew MIOS Patcher v0.2


where do I get the cMIOS and MIOS, the programs says can't load it from SD (I have these files on "wad")

And what program should I use first cMIO and after the PATCHER?

I have to put the SOURCE CODE from both programas inside SD CARD?

What IOS should I have to LOAD?

 

[0bsur3]

I have downloaded these IOS ~ MIOS

IOS37-64-v5663.wad

MIOS-64-v10.wad

it is right?

and about the cMIOS?

Is there anyway to get PSO to work?

Is there anyway to get PSO to work?

You mean Phantasy Star Online?

I say it looks bad right now, here's the important part of the log i got for the game:
CODE[...]

Stream write1: SubApp filename : %s

The only thing the game reads is that "switcher.prs", and i fear that is some kind of executable which loads the real executable. Anyways, all dvd patch patterns fail for this file, so either that's some encrypted executable or i'm really completely clueless about what's going on.

And no i don't have the game, so i can't say if the retail disc works or not. Which might be helpful information here.

PS: emu_kidid claimed it's working in his personal SD-Boot beta. If SD-Boot is ever released, and if it's open source, then maybe i could fix it.

Yes, it will be released soon and it will be open source. That's what emu_kidid said.

Yes i need more infos. Like do other games work? Which cIOS? What error exactly?! What settings? ...

I use cIOS38 rev17. Single layer games work perfectly. I dont own any other double layer backup games (I tried both Brawl and Metroid Trilogy original and they both worked (if that helps)). The disc is a verbatim dvd+r (the same I use for the xbox360). I haven't touched any settings. I think the error id was 1202 or something like that (I can check it again in about 2 days cauz I don't have the wii with me right now..).

 

[Fudge]

I have another problem. I have a multi-game disc with Tony Hawk's Underground, TimeSplitters 2, and Geist. THUG and Geist load and play fine, but TS2 always says DVD error 608 or something like that. I've tried burning it twice, no dice.

 

[Dangy]

So I tried isntalling cMIOS, and I got this:

@Dangy:
Install IOS236 and try it with that again!

Hmm, ok. Maybe it's a near bad burn or your drive doesn't like DL discs less than other drives. Are you sure you didn't just get lucky with R8?

It does say that inside NeoGamma's GC loader? Then it should be a bad burn or bad .iso. Can you try WiiGator's loader on this? It's supposed to play the game, and then we could determine if it's NeoGamma's fault or not.

Try the cMIOS installer from this thread, the installer should work more stable.

 

[gsaz]

TimeSplitters 2 backup loads with no issue for me using;
Neogamma R9b44 with default settings,
cIOS56rev20 ,
multigame disc Verbatim DVD-R (single layer)
and the recommended cmios (New one(based on MIOSv10)- though it also worked previously on the v4)
4.1E

 

[0bsur3]

Hey, I used NUS yesterday,

I used MIOSv10 and renamed it to rvl-mios-v10.wad

To patch it I got another archive that is rvl-mios-v4.wad


When I tried to install it I got error -1035

I will try apply trucha bug restorer?!

 

[YOCJ]

I don't think so. I've run the game over 10 times with R8, sometimes it gives an 1167 error, but then I re-insert the disc and it works.
I forgot to mention that, once with B44, it (kinda) started. Actually, it recognized the game's id etc but it initialized the drive around 4 or 5 times, then it just took me back to the wii menu.
I bought it summer '08 (if that is a help too).

At first you need to be able to get the debug output from NeoGamma when booting the game with patched MIOS, so set it to GC mode internal, debug plugin and patched MIOS. You should find something about "GXSetVAT" or similar in the debug output.

If you are a coder yourself, you can try to mod the backup plugin yourself to dump the memory it patched, if not, just post your debug output. So i can make a NeoGamma version that dumps the patched memory before and after patching.

OK, I got a debug log, from the time I loaded the game, to the time I went to a dungeon, and tried to load the map. The map... worked fine...

...but I am using a backup + softmod, not a hardmod.
But I did enablle Ocarina and set hooktype to VI, just to see if it would have made the map crash the game, but it did not.

I am not sure if there is even anything useful in my log...

Setup:
MIOS v4 with Wiigator's GCBL 0.2 in it
cIOS249 rev19 base38
NeoGamma R9 b44

Gamecube Mode: internal
Backup plugin: Debug
Patched MIOS: Yes

GC Hooktype: VI
GC Ocarina: Yes

Log:
http://www.mediafire.com/?nkvuzk6lf108yk8

Would you need me to test it with my modchip?
If so, what settings should I use in the "zelda+modchip" test (Ocarina y/n etc.)?

 

[0bsur3]

I still trying to play Eternal Darkness :X

Wii Power said to get the correctly MIOS and cMIOS...

I used NUS Downloader to get:

MIOS v4
MIOS v10

it's these two files?

>Wii Gator's cMIOS 0.2
>used rvl-mios-v10.wad

and when I was going to patch it with
>Homebrew MIOS Patcher 0.2
>using rvl-mios-v4.wad

I get this:


ES_AddTitleStart returned: -1035
'Downgrade' failed, use an ios that ignore version of titles.
Up to system menu 4.2, you can get one with Trucha Bug Restorer 1.12.
MIOS Installation failed

what I have to do? I already did the process with Trucha Bug Restorer 1.13 to downgrade ios 15, install ios 36 and restore ios 15.

I don't know if this ERROR means to do that.

By the way, I use cIOS 37 rev 19 slot 249



NOTE: that these 2 programs for me there's only that option, cannot change v10 from Wii Gators and v4 from Homebrew MIOS Patcher

No, a modchip would cause a problem here, patched MIOS doesn't work when you have a modchip. Your log is missing the debug output from the MIOS itself, there should be more stuff between the reads before you even get the 1st screen of the game.

Either i messed the printf in one revision up and it works in some older revision, or the printf pattern only works for a certain MIOS. The comment in the code says it's only for MIOSv5, i fear that might be the problem.

I can't test this right now, i will do some testing myself and then tell you exactly what you need to do to get the MIOS debug output. If you really want to you can try with a cMIOS based on MIOSv5 or MIOSv10, but you don't need to before i know what's the problem.

Thank you very much so far!

Thanks! I'll let you know what happens.
