I'm having trouble with revision 914,
i have my sisters wii formated with ntfs. and transferred the game via wii backup manager as .iso's.
it loads up and shows the games on the hdd, but as soon as i click them, nothing happens.
happens on my wii too, and my wbfs hdd works fine. am i better using wbfs files, or reformatting to fat32?
the hdd used to be wbfs/fat32 and worked fine. but decided to go for one partition as its used for movies also.
cheers, david
Dmok and Giantpune, I think Livy has found a possible bug. I actually stumbled on to this problem the other day pin pointed it this evening. I recently helped a friend update a few Wii's and he setup the drives with NTFS. I already have an NTFS and WBFS drive on my Wii's as well. In any even I have been successfully running GX loader Rev. 899 without problems with NTFS and WBFS. When I set up the two other Wiis I put GX Loader Rev 914 on them and tested my WBFS drive on it and it worked. I didn't think anything more. Couple days goes by and my pal had setup 2 NTFS drives and tried them on the 2 hacked Wii's with rev 914. GX Loader loads up but when you select a game is does nothing other than the blue disc light goes solid Blue. (The WBFS drive works fine)
This evening I decided to update one of my Wii's with Hermes v5 and GX Loader Rec 919. In any event it did the same thing. I didn't start putting 2 and 2 together until I read Livy's post. So I started to investigate. At first I reverted back to Hermes v4. Same problem. So I decided to delete the gx loaders config files thinking it would be a similiar problem that we have with Hermes v3 compared to v4 issues with not working right. In any event deleting the config files did not work.
So I started trying different Rev. Numbers and found that all rev. beyond 899 seem to be causing the problem. So I am back with 899, but I was hoping to share some test info in hopes to squash this bug.
Maybe i need to delete something, add something I am not sure. I do know that I appreciate all the time you guys have put in to GX Loader so the least I could do is share my troubleshooting efforts.
Thanks
Same issue here, the game doesn't load (black screen) but they are well detected (rev 916 and 919 - not tested the others - used to work great on rev 899 even rev 902 i think). Here is my configuration:
- cIOS38 rev17
- cIOS38 rev17 and Hermes v5
- cIOS57 rev18
- cIOS57 rev18 and Hermes v5
The same games works perfectly on cfgUsbLoader but it absolutely needs an Hermes cIOS.
NTFS partition and cIOS249 method for loading
EDiT:
rev 919 seems to work with this configuration:
- cIOS38 rev17 and Hermes v4
but some games have new issue :
- New Super Mario Bros. show the disclaimer and then stay stuck on a black screen
- Super Smash Bros Brawl shows an error : hd num sector doesn't match (maybe it's my mistake)
(these two games works with the same config under cfgUSBLoader but they're loaded with cIOS222 (Hermes v4)
