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

[Skater4599]

Has anyone tested rev21 for the bug where you cannot exit triiforce/mighty channels without deleting a file from your emu nand to make it crash back to system menu?

If thats not fixed in rev21 is it possible to get fixed too?

i have that wii hdmi cable converter piece that uses the 2nd usb port, and under the original cios21, it would randomly cut the video feed for a brief second or two, but using your version seems to have fixed that and havent had any cut out issues with my hdmi piece

Hey bro not sure if I've really tested it, but I did notice that hen you would do that before
it wouldn't take you back to system menu. Like when I would do that
it would take me back to bootmii. Seems now that the home menu exit feature
is working fine for me. Also I noticed a spped increase on one game I was using.
The bubble bobble plus would load slow for the life of me with cIOS38Rev17, also
it would load slow with 249[57]21, seems to have picked up some speed with
this one. So far so good. I put replaced my 246[38]17 with 246[38]v21d2xv3beta1.
So if anything I guess I'll have to test a bit more and see whats up. Kind of going off
of "I recommend everyone to use the new cIOS rev21d2x. Because it's rev21 (it doesn't have the cache bug of rev17 that is giving problems to some users) and it has some bug fixes."

@ L4D, GolfDude, and freestile
Thanks for the feedback.
Much appreciated.

Ok daveboal i tested a wiiware game called The Will of Dr. Frankenstein on mcB5, with 21v3 loads and works fine, but if i make 1 save at first then save a second time, a white screen comes up saying can not save to wii mermoy and please select disk management or something like that.

I also tested this on v17 and it saved fine with no issues, heh not really a issue i thought i let u know.

Okay... I had cIOS v21 installed and followed the steps in the OP's opening post exactly- but now unfortunately my Configurable USB Loader isn't recognising my HDD any more? When I go into MMM, it states I'm tied to IOS58. Did I mess up somewhere? =X

 

[XFlak]

what was the base IOS of the cIOS u installed? what was the base IOS of the cIOS v21 u had installed before hand that worked with your usb-loader?

MMM is operating just fine, the HBC always launches it using w/e IOS the HBC uses (ie. IOS58), u just need to load a different IOS before being able to do much of anything (unless MMM was launched with direct hardware access). So installing a new cIOS249 did not affect MMM at all, it would've loaded IOS58 initially before AND after u installed a new cIOS249. FYI, u can build an mmmconfig (either manually or using ModMii) to configure the default settings when using MMM, including automatically reloading to the IOS of your choice (ie. 236 or 249 instead of 58).

Thanks a lot for your reply XFlak, I really appreciate the help and the you work you guys have done on this! I believe before the base IOS I was using was IOS36, however when updating with these d2x2 files I MAY have derped a bit and selected IOS56... I've tried re-installing cIOS v21 and the updates selecting IOS36 as a base, and still got nothing. When I load up the Configurable USB Loader, it says I'm running the cIOS V21 but the Base IOS bit says '???.' I'm pretty sure before that said IOS36...

Thanks for the info on MMM. I had an inkling it might've not been a problem, but it's good to be sure. Cheers!

no prob, and don't worry about cfg usb loader not being able to recognize the base IOS of any d2x v3 beta cIOSs. The cIOS should still function like normal (with improvements), but the usb loader wont be able to identify the cIOS until it's updated with the new cIOS hashes, so its up to you to remember which one u have installed (at least for now).

And base 56 is generally considered the best at the moment, but if your hard drive isn't compatible with base 56... oh well, use a different one that works!

Sorry if I'm a pest; so if the HDD worked with base 36, there's a chance it wont with 56? Just out of interest, is there any way I can get back to the IOS it did work with? Again, thanks a lot for all your help. Also, the fact it doesn't recognise the base doesn't bother me at all. As long as it works, I don't think it matters.

Also, the HBC is stating my IOS is 58, too.

 

[XFlak]

yes it is possible for some hard drives to only be compatible with a certain base IOS. Most hard drives either work with all cIOSs or none, so w/e hard drive u r using probably has uncommon compatability. Thankfully I've never personally had this issue, as I only use hard drives with really high compatability rates... so other ppl who've experienced this situation first hand probably know more about it than I do.

Anyways, I could add base IOS36 to ModMii for rev21 and rev21d2x cIOSs, but so far u r the only one to need or want that. I would recommend u try installing some of the other cIOS249s from ModMii's download page 4 and install them until u find one that works with your hard drive. If none of them work, just use wanin's cIOS installer to install the same cIOS249 u has before that worked (ie. cIOS249v21[36])

 

[bolt7]

Bah. I un-installed cIOS 249 using MMM then re-installed cIOS249v21[36] and it still will not mount like it would before.

Thanks a lot for your help anyway, I'll keep mucking around with it!

Are you using the latest version of CFG? Old versions don't support these new IOSes fully.

 

[bolt7]

EDIT - Fixed it! Rather than using Waninkoko's installer like usual, I used ModMii to download the v21 WAD's and installed via MMM with IOS36 as base. Thanks XFlak, I owe you a beer!

Yeah, I'm using CFG Ver65. I'm replacing the CFG app folder on my SD Card just to be 100% sure. I really appreciate the advice, thank you.

Edit: Yup, replaced it and still no luck...

I feel stupid, just don't understand how to save.

I'm confused... ModMii doesn't support any v21 cIOSs with base 36....??? Did u mean 38?

I'm even more confused now... u say "fixed it" then u say "still no luck"... which is it?

@davebaol, don't feel stupid, I'm sure this isn't easy, and even if the d2x cIOSs aren't perfect, they're much better than how they started, keep it up buddy, I'm sure u'll figure it out eventually!

Apologies, crappy post editing on my part. I wrote the 'Edit' in at the top of the reply after I'd already posted the rest (I think I was just so excited I'd fixed it, I shoved it anywhere.) That edit was the last thing I added to the post; sorry for any confusion.

Hm, no, I meant 36. =X I downloaded the .wad files for cIOS rev21 through the fourth option in ModMii, popped them in a WAD folder on my SD Card then installed them through MMM with IOS36 as base. It worked perfectly.

Just out of interest, I then tested removing the standard 249 cIOS rev21 and re-installed the rev21d2x .wads (to see if CFG remained working with my HDD.) Unfortunately, this caused the same problems as before, and CFG couldn't mount the device. After removing rev21d2x and re-installing the cIOS rev21 .wads once again, CFG was able to mount the device without any problems.

explain to me where u see a rev21 cIOS with base 36 on ModMii's download page 4... i'm not trying to be rude here... but I know u are mistaken, so I'm just curious what u REALLY installed

@xflak, bolt7 meant he installed the wad from MMM (started with IOS 36)...i think.

yeah don't feel stupid, what u doing to so far is great work i appreciated your time and hard work improving this cios

Thanks again
