Slimmmmmm

I've got a spare (1gb) SD card so I've decided to get all known emulators for the Wii and set them up on this SD card. I've grabbed a few mods of some of them too and am going to trim down any reduntant mods so that I should hopefully have all known emus for the Wii and any mods that add something.

It was quite hard tracking down some of the older ones, but I think I've got them all now.

Now, I'm hoping someone can help me with finding legal roms.

I want 1 (as small as possible) legal rom for each emu. This is so I can quickly test things, so it doesn't need to be a game or anything big, just a rom that loads a picture, a demo etc would do. I think it's best if it outputs audio+video.

...lol... this will be interesting to see if anyone that uses emus knows where to get legal roms or not

Anyway... so far...

nvm ... got them

Will SmashStack be able to be reused if the next console is backwards compatible ?
I know IF it did then it would need a lot of work to getting it running in a new environment, but knowing Nintendo....

I know no one can answer now, but lets speculate

I've googled for a while and tried a few things to fix this on my nephews PS3 but have got nowhere so far.

Anyway, I'm a n00b with the ps3 as I don't own one myself, but modded one recently that had this problem with some games. I hoped that it was a BD Drive issue so I dumped one of the problem games (Fallout:New Vegas) to an external HDD and tried to load it but again got the 80010017 code from the ext hdd too.

My nephew doesn't have the internet so he doesn't care about psn etc, but he has about 15 games that wont work from the disc...I kinda hoped dumping them and running them from usb would sort the problem

I dumped 3 of his games that work from disc and they all play fine from ext hdd. The mods done so far are...
1- upgraded to 3.55, 2- installed Kmeaw_Fw, BDemu and multiman (latest).

If anyone has had this problem and knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate some tips to get it sorted, the error as far as I can tell seems to be a dirty/damaged disc code or faulty BD..... so why will they not work from (external) hdd ?

*EDIT*

Copying it from external to internal as I type, will try again, then redump straight to internal. - Didn't work copied from ext to int...will redump straight to internal...

Redumped it to the internal HDD and when launching it with multiman I now get a new error.... 80010514

Tried to restore the FS (option 3 on the recovery menu) as I read it might help...it didn't

c'mon someone not so n00by must know how to fix this ??

Well the wee mans away now so I'll need to wait a while to get the PS3 back, it can't be the BD drive though if the games don't work from HDD can it ? Unless the didn't rip correct...hmm.

Anyway, this seems to be a common unsolved problem, lets hope someone can post info to solve the strangeness. When I get the PS3 back I'll try more things and post what worked, didn't work and what I tried.

SUMMARY
------------

I'd like to hear any devs of USB/disc based loaders and WW/VC loaders opinion on this. Anyone can make suggestions, but the devs of official releases are most important imho.

IF..(I've not started yet)... myself or other were to list game IDs and the hooktype needed for a cheat to work would anyone consider implementing it into a loader ?

Without knowing this, I wont spend any time and I'm sure no one else would.

So if there were to be EG a hooktype.txt made, would any official release be interested, or would it be a waste of time requiring people to recompile each release.

There are many ways we as a community can go about this, anyone can start making a list, or some other things some coders could do.

The idea of this is to save time (lol not for me though) but people in the end would load a loader, download cheats, make a GCT and IF a known working hook type was listed then it would be auto, if not we could hope they would try each type and report the working one(s)

This would save a lot of questions from people too lazy to try each hook type, and also a lot of time for people that need to restart a few times over until they find the working hooktype.

I KNOW this is NOT important, but is kinda a unique idea that in some ways is easy although tedious for contributers. imho it would add quality and remove hassle.

Anyway....thoughts...suggestion ?
