experiencing the buggy 222/223 issues of GX now.

Worked fine last night, black screen today.

Will give CFG a go.

Read nearly all the posts. I have PAL modded wiikey console. Can someone list what modded consoles need?

I read one post about needing to install a wad file - what is this mystery wad file?

There is another post saying that you need to remove the update. I currently have 3.2e on my wii.

I'm currenlty getting the black screen problem with a scrubbed disk. I read that someone had it working, but did they apply the update? I dont want to apply the update on a pal console.

Thank you nubecoder I've got it working. That wad file is for DS to Wii link connectivity.

Currently selected to install custom IOS37 with IOS37 rev7 dip as IOSxxx

Click to expand...

And in SoftChip select IOSxxx it should work.. (where IOSxxx == the IOS you chose to install as).
Check the update list I posted above against the IOS you have installed on your system. It might help to solve your problem.

Note: the multi-cios installer is kind of funky to use.
Use the D-pad to control what you are installing...
Left / Right on the D-pad chooses the IOS you are installing as in my case I chose IOS248 (left once).
Up / Down on the D-pad chooses the custom IOS and IOS rev7 dip (down 3 times will result in IOS37 with IOS37).

So to make is super easy:

Load the multi-cios installer using HBC.

Press LEFT once to select to install as IOS248.

Press DOWN three times to select to install custom IOS37 with IOS37 rev7 dip.

Press A to install.

Load SoftChip using HBC.

Press + to select to use IOS248.

Enable the 002 error patch (I verified this is required).

Press A to load game.

Rock out with your **** out!

I guess I should add that if you want DS link-ability you will need to have IOS56 installed, preferably the one that comes with the game (IOS56-64-v5146).
But people have reported it working on older versions of IOS56 as well.

I've got the game to work with this method, but I always get crappy audio quality, loading this ios. Like the whole system sounds like at 64kbps mp3. I don't have a usb hard drive, but does the game have this problem too, or does it just have stuttering?

FOR ALL GX USERS:
The implementation of IOS 222/223 loading is buggy!
Sometimes starting a game using IOS 222 or 223 ends in a black screen.

Use USB Loader CFG 41 with IOS 223 V3 and your GH5 will work.
Take a look on http://gwht.wikidot.com/ for installing USB Loader CFG and IOS 222/223.

I certainly noticed that sometimes it would work for me and other times I got a black screen.

I also noticed that it has been working consistently since I turned block IOS reload on but I am not sure if it's just a coincidence or not.

I don't seem to be able to return to the Wii menu from the game after doing this.

In the instances where it does load with "block ios reload" off I am able to return to the Wii menu.

4.1U (waninkoko update)
USBLoader GX (r715)
cIOS38 rev 14
Hermes 223 as 37/36

USBLoader GX settings:
Game Load > 223

Works like a charm ... took all of 1 second to change to 223, and it just works fine.

That but it wont work with USB Loader for me, only Uloader runs it. Perhaps something is off with my USB Loader Gx dunno.

No stutters with songs, it runs very quickly.

AutoPrime · Aug 30, 2009

as for the stuttering issues and possibly fixing them with a diff loader...

i dont think this will help at all. i've got two wii's.. one with a wiikey and one softmodded... the one with the wiikey i use DVDs(not a usb loader) and experienced the stutter issue(not using IOS 222 or 223 etc). the same happens when using the other wii and usb loader gx.

are we sure this release is ripped 100% perfect? i've seen a few mentions of this rip having issues... not sure if its just rumor or not.

I used the ios56 with cios14 dip from technom8t and now I can load from the disc channel.

Ask him for the link if you want to load from the disc channel.

Hi guys and gals! Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in about what is working for me.

4.1u wii
bootmi
preloader
cioscorp 3.3
configurable usbloader rev41
cios 38 rev 14
cios 222 merged 36 & 37
cios 223 merged 36 & 37

configurable usbloader settings:

anti 002= on
ios load=223
block ios reload= on

Seems to be working perfectly.

Thanks,

iamwally

i have this working via disc channel(cioscorp) using IOS56-64-v5146.wad, taken from the GH5 disc, patched with the cIOS rev14 DIP module (for reading backups) and has truch bug restored. It has been tested by myself to work from disc channel on System Menu 4.1 on a launch system.

Thanks to original author aswell

PM me for the download link for the WAD, the file also includes the cioscorp installer :-)

This worked from the disc channel for me. Thank you!

Also, appaerently loading the Homebrew Channel from the system menu instead of the bootmii menu gets rid of that degraded audio.

Probably because the infrastructure isn't ready yet, as the game isn't supposed to be out until Tuesday. Try then.

i hope its for the date, and not for the softchip load mode.

Yeah, it is most likely by date, since I run the game from a full modded wii. Its not so much of infrastructure not in place, but rather, the game needs the SOAP request from Nintendo's servers, and Nintendo's servers isn't replying with it yet, for this game.

ok guys, download the wad from here-------->IOS56-64-v5146.wad

see ya!

Is this the WAD that people talk of that needs extracting from the game? My game is working without it but a couple people mentioned it is needed for DS connectivity. I don't use a DS but if someone came over with one, that is a feature that may be used. Is that true for the purpose of what that wad does? Also, does anyone know if this wad interferes with your Wii or other games in any way? I'm just very careful about what I do with my Wii. I was thinking these equestions would be good ones to be addressed.

Other things I feel it would be good to be addressed (though it doesn't apply to me, I just just a softmod and HDD), would be for some people to talk some more about how to get this working properly using discs and also using chipped Wii's.

insbruck1 · Aug 30, 2009

Installed the wad supplied by tecnom8t
All works great.....Thanks technom8t

garycoleman · Aug 30, 2009

I'm downloading GH5 right now.

I already have Gamma Loader w/002 fix installed and it has worked fine for me with all of my previous games.

Will Gamma Loader still work with GH5 or will I need additional IOSes?

but you play the game from disc or usb loader? because, the disc have a update, and if you update your wii you dont going to have problems, but if you play from usb loader, you need install the "update" manually, in this case, the wad file

see ya
