Hi,
Compatibility query for you - trying to confirm if I'm missing a trick or just happen to like a high number of VC that don't work with Gx and emunand...
System:
US Wii (original white with GC ports).
4.3U system menu
2gb SanDisk extreme sd card
800gb HD - single fat32 partition
Setup:
1.1.2 homebrew channel, Boot2, Priiloader, USB loader gx Rev1262
All apps are on the SD /apps
Wii (wbfs files) and GC (iso) games on HD.
Nand dump on root of HD (dumped by gx via features menu)
VC installed on emunand via Gx features menu
IOS:
Dx2 v10 rev52 bases 57 and 58 installed on 247 & 248
older Cios rev19 base 36 installed on 246
GX set to boot with 248, Games set to boot with 247 globally
Problem:
Currently Wii boots to system menu then I'm running gx from forwarder channel.
All wii and GC games (via Nintendont) I've tried work fine.
A good number of VC do not. All are USA NTSC VC wads, originals - no injections.
I'm trying a bunch of arcade and neogeo VC - none of which make it onto the compatibilty list here:
https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_EmuNAND_Compatibility_List
I either get a black screen and need a power reset or a wii system error (typical the read or write to memory error). A couple give a black screen but respond slowly to the Home button and let you return to GX.
Not working:
1942
Black Tiger
Ghost'n'Goblins
MetalSlug 2
MetalSlug 3
MetalSlug 4
MetalSlug X
Nam1975
Shock Troopers 2nd squad
Space harrier
This represents a 75% failure rate for the arcade & neogeo VC I've tried. The above all work if I install them to real nand and run from real nand. I've since tried several Snes and Megadrive VC which all seem to work fine via emunand.
I tried different ios's - dx2 v10 rev52 base 56 and 57, as well as cios rev21 base 38
I've read that a slow HD can be a problem for some users so I moved my emunand to the SD but the results are the same.
Would appreciate someone trying some of the above and letting me know if they simply don't work with emunand/gx setup or if there is something else I can try.
I have tried neek2o but found it painfully slow to boot and crash heavy so backed out - this could be user error. I've also seen numerous comments that 95% of VC are fine without sneek variants; typically N64 VC is noted as the problem.
Thoughts appreciated.
