I have a lot of bug report/suggestions/questions lately !
That's great to see this thread and project active, but I'm a little left behind with available time.
I can work on it only little by little, and can't make all the things you want. (sorry)
To make sure I understand, because I couldn't get Paper Mario to load: I would need to install ios 249 rev19 base 38 if I want to play any N64 game? And is there a difference between running Wii games with that ios, as opposed to the d2x I have now? I believe I have rev10 installed.
don't install old revision to slot249 if you don't know the differences between old and new.
keep the current cIOS in slot249
install a new cIOS (rev19 base38 or 56 or 57 etc.) in a free slot (for example in slot 248).
rev17 :
Wii games need to be on WBFS partition (not on FAT32 or NTFS)
doesn't work with 4k drives
Doesn't work with Block IOS Reload, doesn't work the same way with return to loader (some games will not work, like prince of persia forgotten sand if you use "return to")
EmuNAND need to be on root (it doesn't work in folder)
EmuNAND need to be on the first partition of the drive (not partition selection possible)
and I don't remember what else, check the changelog of the cIOS or USBLoaderGX changelog on the first post.
he means the cIOS 249 Rev19 Base 38 needs to be installed to the IOS 249 slot in the emunand
I never said that! installing cIOS into emuNAND will have NO effect at all.
Oh, I didn't think of that, makes sense.
No, it doesn't make sense. don't install cIOS into emuNAND.
Just tried WIIMC, per game setting: cIOS 251 (d2x v8, base 58)
still only sees SD
another thing: is it possible to make USB-loader GX look for games in more than one folder, like for Emunand Channels: one folder for those games requireing cIOS38 r17 on SD card and one for the other games running with d2x on HDD? The options do not allow this, but I could edit the config file on a computer, right?
I mean, this is already available for GC games.
You mean for EmuNAND? yes it's possible. The option already allow this.
some users are using a special setup to list all games at once, even if they are using their own folders.
it's long and complicated to explain, but to resume:
you need to set the path one by one for problematic games.
start by setting a global path (in settings>user path, recommended to the default path : /nand/)
place a second emuNAND dump on the root of your SD or USB (rev17 seems to have issue with one of the device, I don't remember which one, it random blackscreen)
then for each problematic games:
the setting you want is located in Game > preferences > individual game settings > EmuNAND path
install the problematic games in boths emuNANDs paths so you can list them all at once.
set the IOS slot and the path to use for problematic games. (game working fine will use the global settings)
settings>custom paths>Emunand Channels path
that's the setting your looking for.
Nop, this is not the setting he is looking for. look above.
For user who edited the wiki entry for kirby64 :
I see you used d2x v10 base38, you tested other base (usually base56) and it didn't work?
thanks for testing other base
users generally don't bother with switching bases and keep the default "56/57/58" that tutorial tell to install.

I don't understand all you want to do or why you can't do it.
You might miss something.
Follow a softmod guide to be sure your console is correctly hacked.
try other USBLoaders (wiiflow or cfg loader) to be sure your console is correctly hacked.
