Hacking cIOSX rev21d2x: Yet Another Hot Fix!!!!

[davebaol]

Both cios identification methods can coexist.
I mean, if the cios is not signed with the new method then the old method will be applied.

Could this mean the death of uneek/sneek?

Obviously u/sneek are good for other reasons, but I only used it for MPT, We Dare and Wiiware. If everything (or nearly everything) works now with MC and CFG on the new IOS 249 (or wherever you decide to install) we are set, right?

MC is nearly 100% Wiiware compat. Lots of retro games also work with MC and uLoader. All IOS reloading games will work with this d2x (I was using uneek+di and uniiloader for these). Can't think of anything else I need

Awesome.

Just wanted to say: good job. It's fun to see new fixes so quickly.

1st post updated.
Replaced link to cIOSX-d2x5.rar, now "final" has been removed from the signature.

[*]Just to be sure, reinstall ModMii 4.5.7 from scratch.[*]Create the forlder "d2x-beta" inside ModMii's "modules" folder.[*]Open cIOSX-d2x6-beta1.rar and unpack the content of the folder "modules" into the "d2x-beta" folder that you've created in step 2.
At the end modules/d2x-beta MUST contain 5 .app files and 1 .bat file.
That's all.

I'm cool with getting the v6 beta in - that's same as always. But how do I get v5 final into modmii? It seems like the only way to make it work is to put it in the beta folder. When I do that (put v5 final finals in the d2x-beta folder), then modmii gives me the option of cranking out a "beta" v5 with final appended to it, with the checksum matching. But if I put betaoff, it goes all the way back to v4. Is that to be expected until the next version of modmii comes out and includes v5?

I found what looks like another upside....i tried IOS reload block on a couple of games that restart instead of going back to the title menu. With IOS reload block on, when you press home and choose Title screen, the games now always return..instead of restarting..

If you install v6 beta 1, you DON'T NEED v5..

@doncaruana
Yes, it's normal. ModMii 4.5.7 distribution package includes d2x v4.

Well, if you only compare them for playing games (and leave the whole NAND-Emulation, Interface, Brick-Protection, etc. out of the picture), besides the option to store saves on the SD/USB (which could be included, I know), the compatibility for WiiWare isn't 100%, nor does Online-Gameplay work (Seeing how fast this cIOS progresses, these probably will be fixed by next week though ;P). Also, since the games don't get the IOS they requested, you sometimes need multiple cIOS with other bases to make them work. Also, AP-Protection was used mostly against cIOS-Users (besides BCA), most AP-Games worked out of the box on UNEEK/SNEEK, afaik.

Anyways, in the end it's still nice that the community has alternative methods to offer, and that counts

@Everyone involved: Great work, I'm astonished

. You really proofed me and many others wrong

Hi guys, thanks for the wonderful work!

I have a little question!
When the d2x cIOS installer will be updated with the new v5 final and v6 beta?

 

[oggzee]

Should this topic be stickied?

 

[FIX94]

cIOSX d2x v6 beta1

IOS reload and support potentially for any file system

Thats, thats....

AMAZING! It works perfectly fine on NTFS here, tried it with metroid prime trilogy and wii sports resort, no problems at all! Even cheats and cfg's return to channel option are working after IOS reload, great work everyone!
@oggzee:
YES, this need to be sticky!

It is almost stickied.

Hey guys great job!! The changes and additions that you have made are really great and really bring the cIOS on a higher level

 

[Fox888]

should the v6 beta 1 also support CSI series to be loaded from USB, if so it dont work here

 

[Hielkenator]

I want to test.
Can someone give me tips on how to convert my disc ex games back to iso or wbfs?

 

[WiiPower]

Yes they should work. Which loader do you use? Which file system do you use? And what error do you get?

 

[Fox888]

i use CFG v69 a5 and my file system is Fat32 and the error i got is then i click on new game it takes me back to system menu (like they always did)

I'm a little confused by this comment right here. Are we not able to play online using the d2x cIOS? Cause I thought playing online was possible through usb loading or sneek. Thanks for you timely response.

I think he means playing Wiiware through Mighty channels and CiosD2X. Online is'nt 100% with MC.
