Hacking USB Loader GX

[GreyWolf]

Ok, the big question. Does it still crash if you boot the original disc through the loader?

I haven't attempted that yet. Give me a minute.

Trilogy Froze on the hall with the Ball that needs to be moved via grapple Lasso.

Original MP3/Standalone no idea since I cant find my copy and its 12AM. I'll tell you tomorrow.

But I am inclined to think that's a CIOS issue. Hmm, question, is there any way to easily de-homebrew a wii?

Has uDraw tablet been implemented yet?

 

[GreyWolf]

Has uDraw tablet been implemented yet?

Nope. As a matter of fact, I just tried it and the loader blows up when booting if one is connected. :/

 

[wicksand420]

yes, the same here, i wonder why they haven't looked into this yet, maybe we are the only ones in the world with the uDraw tablet

MPT is Metroid Prime Trilogy. On this one, pick the 2nd block, pick Trilogy and try to play all the way to the hall where you need to yank a ball with the lasso, get the grapple beam and then try going back. The game crashes there. Also try going back to Norion, there is a chance the game will simply crash after the cutscene.

Lol...you made it sound easy.
I'll be honest - it has been a long time since I played that game and I really didn't remember anything (I don't think I played it much previously).
Anyway - I started with that save on MPT and the first thing I did was go back into the ship and figure out how to go back to Norion. I did that with no issue and then went back to Bryyo.

It took me a long time (probably an hour and a half of playing...no worries I had fun) as I had to find a walkthrough for this and learn the game as I went (since I was starting in the middle). I got muddled up in my walkthrough and ended up finding the missile expansion first. But I did make my way to grapple beam and then made my way back to the ship. Once there I did a save and enter and then flew back to the other location on Norion (the one I didn't go before). Landed there successfully.

If I had to run this again I could probably do it in 15 minutes or so, but you seem to indicate that one should always freeze when fetching the grapple and returning to the ship - which I did not.

So, based on the above - I don't seem to have any issues.

 

[wicksand420]

perhaps its a bad copy of MPT, is it in wbfs-wbf1 format?

So it is most likely a CIOS issue. But I've used ModMiii to fetch those versions... could it be that it is a later CIOS or a config issue of GX?

perhaps its a bad copy of MPT, is it in wbfs-wbf1 format?

My original dump was bad, so I replaced it with the dump of a friend's website. It works. Getting a new .iso file is not going to be an easy task mostly, because the other option involves 20 MEGA Links and a special program to uncorrupt the files (the owner inserted deer and animal stuff in the .rars so the files wouldn't be taken down)

so yeah, a pretty daunting task and torrents are not an option, I rarely have good luck with wii torrents as they tend to be underseeded and with no leechers.

Also yes wbfs and wbfs1

Question could it be a clash? Doubt so because issue still pops in 250, but... could it be that LOADER IOS 249 is causing some sort of issue?

So it is most likely a CIOS issue. But I've used ModMiii to fetch those versions... could it be that it is a later CIOS or a config issue of GX?

My original dump was bad, so I replaced it with the dump of a friend's website. It works. Getting a new .iso file is not going to be an easy task mostly, because the other option involves 20 MEGA Links and a special program to uncorrupt the files (the owner inserted deer and animal stuff in the .rars so the files wouldn't be taken down)

Lol...that's kind of funny. I got an ISO the other day (don't remember which) and when I opened it there were just like nature pics of trees and a lake. Didn't make much sense because the size was so large and didn't match the pics...now I see what it must have been What is the "special program" to uncorrupt?

Some more info on my setup. I am using .ISO files on NTFS drive, no wbfs involved. I'm a little OCD and I could never stand the wbfs files being split up when over a certain size - I wanted 1 file = 1 game...so all my stuff is ISOs. I really can't say if that would make a difference, but it is a data point. Send me a message if you want and I can see about trying to get you my ISO that you can then convert, etc.

I've been using FAT32 Format GUI for years. It's a great tool. But just like any other formatting utility, it can't format a single FAT32 partition larger than 2TB on a GPT or MBR drive with 512 byte sectors. This is only possible when the drive has 4096byte sectors, hence the explanation at the end of my last post.

I didn't do this right off the bat because my drive shipped with 512byte sector mode enabled like many others. The topic of disabling/converting the 512byte sector mode of most external drives is rarely, if at all, discussed on this site or any other site I was searching for answers on. Seagate and Western Digital do a very good job of hiding the utilities and resources that I linked to above as well.

I am loading it all the way up now to see how USBLoaderGX tolerates a single 4TB FAT32 partition in MBR mode. I don't see how I will have any trouble with it from here on out, but enabling full support of GPT within HBC, USBLGX, and Nintendont is definitely a better option for the future.

PS, I came across that thread many many times when I first started troubleshooting why I couldn't format my WD Drive to a single FAT32 part. Notice how not a single person mentions anything about 512 byte vs 4096 byte sectors or disabling the 512byte sector emulation?

That's the one Marv. That's the silver tuna.

I am just getting to formatting my 4tb WD My Passport drive and I am running into the same issues described in the many threads I have read thru. I am trying to use Partition Master to format the drive into one partition but cannot get around the 2tb limitation of FAT32. Any suggestions as to what I need to change or use to be able to format the drive into one partition for both Wii and nintendont? or is this the best and most current solution "The funny thing is that if you use WBM to turn that second NTFS partition into a WBFS partition it will still boot up without hanging and read from both the FAT32 and WBFS partition." Thanks

@bengalih If it's working it should work throughout the loader. What I changed was the size of the character buffer the banner loading used. It was set to the constant ISFS_MAXPATH, which is only like 64 characters. I changed it to default to 1024 if it's not a real NAND title.

I think the best solution right now for sorting is to add a "sortby" field to the title list that overrides the real title. (iTunes has this, too)

Ok, so I decided to switch back to your version since you say it should be fixed...I figured I'd just go ahead an use yours...but there is a big issue.
If I launch your version from homebrew, it works, but when it tried to launch using my standard boot sequence of:

priiloader (auto boot) > channel forwarder > GX

it fails with the following:

"Loading...
Failed loading IOS 58. USB Loader GX requires a cIOS or IOS58 with AHB access. Exiting..."

Again, if I launch it directly from HBC, or from within another app launched via HBC (like WiiXplorer) it works.
I even wiped my config file clean again and same issue.

Simply replaceing your .dol with the official 1262 makes this go away, so I'm not sure what it could be but it looks like until we figure that out I probably can never use any of your builds because I need to autoboot into GX when the console is switched on.

ideas?

use WiiBackupManager to format your hdd

ol...that's kind of funny. I got an ISO the other day (don't remember which) and when I opened it there were just like nature pics of trees and a lake. Didn't make much sense because the size was so large and didn't match the pics...now I see what it must have been What is the "special program" to uncorrupt?

http://www.quickpar.org.uk/ you need also a .par2 file.

Are you using the forwarder dol file or setting it to boot the installed forwarder channel? You shouldn't use the channel method as that seems to make it mix up different versions of the loader. I've been trying to fix the drive initialization as well so it could be related to that. If the banners are fixed I will tag a release tomorrow without the drive init changes.

Hmm...let's make sure we are on the same page:

AFAIK there are two ways to launch something from within priiloader.

1) Install a specific boot.dol using the "install file" method and then enable the Autoboot setting to boot that .dol automatically at startup.

This is the method I am using and I'm pretty sure what you mean when you say "Forwarder dol":

priiloader using installed boot.dol to boot > USB Loader GX forwarder channel (*not* full channel app) which boots > Usb Loader GX boot.dol stored in /apps on my USB drive.

Again, to be clear this works perfectly fine with the "official" 1262.

When I try this by simply swapping the .dol in the /apps folder with the one you gave me I get the error I mentioned above.

2) The second method in priiloader is to launch a specific title - which can be any installed channel on the system. If I choose this option and boot the forwarder channel then it boots fine. So, it does seem to be something with the boot.dol. The issue with this method is that it can't be automated. You can't tell priiloader (AFAIK) to Autoboot any channel with this option (only HBC, BootMii, or SysMenu). So it appears you need a boot.dol to kick to the channel forwarder first.

So when you say "setting it to boot the installed forwarder channel" - I don't think that is possible from what I can see in the settings.

If anything I said is unclear I used the method and file described in mauifrog's guide:
http://www.wiihacks.com/showthread.php?t=96886

Search the page for "Part 3 - Priiloader Forwarders" and then expand the section and that is how I have it set up.

I'm really ok without using your distro for now since I don't *need* the longer filepath fix now that I know the issue. I will however be eager to use it once you have the sorting/override fixed so if you have any ideas let me know.

thanks.

So aside yet again a corrupted .iso file, any ideas which CIOS could be causing problems?

Did you test the game partitions with Dolphin?

I think I can't run Dolphin, I'm on a laptop. 2GB of ram and the CPU is a dual core of 2.2Ghz.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Ok, how do I check the partition with Dolphin? I managed to make it run and MPT ran, if ridiculously slow because I dont see an option to test partitions.
