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

[themanuel]

Indeed. It's only the few N64 games that give me problems.
Thanks for the answer; as was curious as to why that happened.

 

[nosmirc]

hello, is there anyone who has the latest games running ?

my 4.2E wii plays almost every game except the latest like Cabelas Big Game Hunter 2012,Rayman Origins or Kirby's Return to Dreamland (2011).

I had cIOS249[56]-v21 running all the games with Usb loadergx but that on does not works with the above titles.
I tried the cIOS249[56]-d2x-v7-final and also IOS248[56]d2xv7 and IOS247[57]d2xv7 and tried to start it with all three ioses for those games but that also doesn't work.

Does anyone has the newer titles running and if so, with which ios ? almost every title works with ios249 with a few exceptions but these new titles are not working with several ioses.

thanks in advance.

Try using cIOS249[56]-d2x-v7-final with the latest Configurable USB Loader.

If you have a wbfs formatted HDD, then try NeoGamma R9 beta 53 with:
d2x v7 with base IOS56 installed as IOS249 and
d2x v7 with base IOS57 installed as IOS250

with default settings, no patches enabled, block IOS Reload enabled and the auto cIOS function enabled. Only Tintin and Driver might not work on this setup, all other games should just work. Well if you have IOS Reloading games, you need the original IOS installed, in case of the WM+ video for Skyward sword, you need IOS56 to be installed for example. NeoGamma tells you which IOS a game uses and with a syscheck you can confirm if you have that IOS installed or not. This might not be a requirement anymore with d2x v8, but that it will be a while before it's released.

Hm, I was playing Wii Music with IOS249 and noticed controller lag (with the Wii hand cursor) after a certain period of time.

I restarted it and changed the IOS to 222-mload and it worked perfect, but only played for 10 minutes.

Is there any issues regarding this?

 

[FIX94]

This lag should be gone forever, I'm sure that was something else

If you were using cios rev 20 or rev21 by waninkoko then it's normal with certain hdd.
This issue has been fixed since d2x v1 and v2.
I suggest you to install d2x v7 and try again.

Whatever loader you use, at least install 249 with d2x v7 base 56 and 250 with d2x v7 base57.

If you try the latest Wiiflow, i recommend you also install the complete d2x v7 wadpack found on Wiiflowiki, because it uses an auto IOS cIOS base function.

@Etheboss
How does wiiflow's auto IOS function work exactly?
I mean, if a game runs natively under ios 38 does wiiflow select a d2x with base 38, if installed?
In this case d2x with base 56 would be better because it enables sdhc support.
For example Rock Band 2 launched under base 38 can't open sdhc cards, while it can if launched under base 56.
Shortly, base 56 is always preferable for all those games originally running under an ios 56 the most suitable base is the one corresponding to the ios, i.e base 57 for ios 57 and base 58 for base 58.

OK, i don't know the technical side, but if the game uses an IOS

Yes that is my understanding, though i don't know the technical side.

Miigotu said games run better under the same base as the IOS it runs under, again i do not know the technical side of it.

See Highlighted..i hope Miigotu can explain this better if he can be online again, it was his idea to incorporate this, to make Wiiflow more beginners friendly, Just install d2x v7 with every base supported and you are good to go..

 

[WiiPower]

Well, NeoGamma's auto cIOS function works that way: If a game request IOSx(38), it looks if there is a cIOS installed with base IOSx(38) in the slots 240-253, and loads it if the version is a match with the currently used cIOS. So it would load a cIOS with base IOS38 for games that request it, but only if it's installed. Anyways i only recommed to install the bases 56 and 57, while using 56 as the default one for anything that is not using base IOS57.

 

[davebaol]

Miigotu said games run better under the same base as the IOS it runs under, again i do not know the technical side of it.

That's generally true.
However the time has clearly shown that base 56 is 100% compatible with any ios

 

[tueidj]

For example Rock Band 2 launched under base 38 can't open sdhc cards, while it can if launched under base 56.

This isn't true.

 

[kirbymaster101]

is the first post gonna be updated to cios d2x 7?

 

[themanuel]

For example Rock Band 2 launched under base 38 can't open sdhc cards, while it can if launched under base 56.

This isn't true.

I don't know what IOS RB2 uses by default, when launched normally through the disc channel but, in my case, if I don't launch it through RawkSD, it gives me a message that SD is "disabled" because it cannot read from my 4GB SDHC card.

Well, tueidj, this is what users reported repeatedly.
The first 2 links I found just googling quickly seem to confirm this:
http://www.wiihacks....nstruments.html
http://gbatemp.net/t...nd-usb-loaders/

themanuel, RB2 uses 37v3609. The version comes from the update inside the game.

is the first post gonna be updated to cios d2x 7?

Don't know, maybe in christmas holidays.
In the meantime you can visit the official google project http://code.google.com/p/d2x-cios/

Both of those links discuss RB3 (not RB2) which supports SDHC by default.

Now, if this just can get past the nand emu issue for VC, this will be the ultimate all purpose cIOS.

Just for more accurate info, the VCs that won't run normaly on nand emu are:

N64 newer VC emulator released in february 2008 (It gets a black screen after the spinning "N" loading screen)
- Kirby 64, Cruisin USA, Pokemon Puzzle League, Mario Golf, Zelda Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros, Ogre Battle 64, Mario Tennis, Mario Party 2, Bomberman Hero

Neo Geo newer VC emulator released in december 2008 (Might get black screen after screen with white "Now Loading" text. It can work sometimes if you are lucky, it's very random)
- Metal Slug 2, Fatal Fury Special, Ironclad, KoF 95/96/97, Samurai Shodown 3, Fatal Fury 3, Street Slam, Spinmaster, Magical Drop 2/3, Fighter's History Dynamite.

Rev17 is still needed for these ones.

Paper Mario does not work for me either. Does it for you?
Also, what loader do you use with Rev17 to play them on emu nand? Wiiflow won't recognize anything other than d2x and Mighty Channels gives me an error saying Waninkoko's cIOS are not supported, when I try it.

 

[themanuel]

By the way, ultimately, the nand emu setup will not be complete, until wifi support for wiiware games is achieved.
I'm curious as to what prevents this from working.
