Try to remove dml.dat file from /ploader folder

hey stfour!

can you integrate the devolution changes fix94 made in wiiflow? he fixed loading problems in devolution mode (some games loaded fine from sample loader, but not from wiiflow, postloader etc, like harvest moon.) would be great!

I'll check.

I deleted everything in both pl folders on usb and sd and it still wants to scream at me after it loads the covers....it only does this on the GC screen

 

[stfour]

Maybe a png corrupted ? Do you have checked the hdd ? What have you changed ? What is last pl working version ?

 

[daxtsu]

Yes I've already fixed it...

I was also thinking to remove support for dml 0.x...

Probably not a bad idea. I doubt many people still use that old of a version. I'd leave 1.x for a while longer, though.

postLoader 4.b41

* Added support for DM2.2 (previous versions of DM2.x are no more supported, still supported 0.x and 1.x)
* Removed "DM(L): Video mode" when in devolution mode
* Devolution: added video configuration like the sample loader
* plugin.con and icons are now in the separated plugin package (actually v3)
* fixed a crash when the stub is dumped the first time

Note that this is untested on real wii (only dolphin). This is also the last beta build (actually it is much more stable of pl3, so there is no need to keep in beta), and online update will work again.

you can use also titles.txt to rename game names...

homebrew mode has already the covercache. It take some time to parse all xml...

Where do I put titles.txt?

postLoader 4.b41

* Added support for DM2.2 (previous versions of DM2.x are no more supported, still supported 0.x and 1.x) Works
* Removed "DM(L): Video mode" when in devolution mode Works
* Devolution: added video configuration like the sample loader ..Where is this option? I can't find it anywhere..
* plugin.con and icons are now in the separated plugin package (actually v3)
* fixed a crash when the stub is dumped the first time

Note that this is untested on real wii (only dolphin). This is also the last beta build (actually it is much more stable of pl3, so there is no need to keep in beta), and online update will work again.

There is no option... just a piece of code

[daxtsu]

Oh, I gotcha.

Yeah, some games will hang with debug info if you don't set that properly. It's best to let the games decide if they display 480p or not.

thx so much! dm & devo support works like a charm!

DM(L)
2.2 (2012-07-20)

• Added a new DVDLowRead pattern (fixes Luigi's Mansion USA and maybe other games)
• Made the DVDGetDriveStatus patch optional via a config since it broke some games (DML_CFG_NODISC) (fixes Prince of Persia:Sands of Time, Goblin Commander, King Kong, ... )

(2012-07-18)

• Added code to prevent drives going into sleep mode
• Fixed a bug which ignored the DML_CFG_PADHOOK setting and always patched PADHOOK (fixes PSO1&2)

Back to PL not working - did I miss something in the setup? I have PL forwarder already and the dol in plugin folder as well

 

[DEFIANT]

I'm using original emulator dols in the plugins folder (my own setup). When I launch the emulators they work just fine. when I exit them they hang at a blank screen. not sure when they stopped working but guess is when the forwader.dol was no longer required? b40? I know it happened recently. Just to note I didn't need forwarder.dol for my setup. I just noticed it's no longer required or supplied in postloader 4.

It seems I needed to install some forwader wad from posloaders downloads? Now everything is retuning to postloader instead of hanging at a blank/black screen when I exit my apps. Shows you how much I know....been out of the loop for way too long.

On another note; I have dios mios 2.2 installed and I use dm booter to play my gamecube games off the USB. Posloader wants to copy games to the sd card before launching them. Is there something I'm missing to luanch them from the USB, without copying them? Lost?

BUG: Real nand, under channels (wiiware icon); my covers do not show unless I update the title cache. I have to this at every startup plus any time I navigate away from channels.

 

[lost_loven]

ColecoVision, lynx, amiga emu's just reset the system when loading, Atari 2600 can load the rom and play for 30 sec and resets system. WiiMednafen can get to load rom path on sd card but can't select a rom to play, and if select usb, cannot click out of root dir. Any ideas

edit: using version 4.b41 - actually since post loader 3. just haven't tried them since then
This is running the apps off usb. Seems ok running off sd.

Is your DM booting mode set to 2.X USB? Press start/+ on the gamecube games menu to see.

You can also get them to show up by opening the menu and then just closing it with B. I'll see if this is something I can fix.
It was an easy 1 line fix:

I just did a couple basic tests/reboots and it seems to work okay now.

Do said emulators work fine from the Homebrew Channel? Also, can you be more specific of their exact emulator names/versions(mednafen can be tackled later, just the first ones/atari)? It'd be handy..

Back to PL not working - did I miss something in the setup? I have PL forwarder already and the dol in plugin folder as well

Doesn't work doesn't tell us much of anything. What does PL do? Black screen? Crash? Say it's missing stuff? What?

Ok to be specific Back to PL exits to SM.
In homebrew mode getting codedumps sometimes also
Using a custom forwarder with same apploader as PL-forwarderv4 with same ID "POST"

Ok, problem time, I'm running the latest beta of PL and the latest beta of CFG mod. CFG works from the HBC and I can launch CFG normally from within PL but if I set CFG to autoboot it won't work it code dumps with the following:

80a97920: 81690100 2F8B0000 7D635B78 419E0018
80a97930: 4BFFFA99 801EFE68 3BFF0001 7D20EA14
80a97940: 93890100 3BBD010C 9B490000 7F9DD800

If it helps I have the latest priibooter installed under priiloader and so my Wii will autoboot PL and then PL should then autoboot CFG but as I said it code dumps.

 

[Taleweaver]

I just wanna say that both devolution and DIOS MIOS 2.2 work fine on neek2o now.


Oh...and channel pictures don't show until I switch to another page. But that's hardly an issue.
EDIT: ...and daxtsu's one line code correction seems to work fine.
