I am using CFG USB loader v.51 and cIOS 249 rev 14. I am interested in updating to cIOS rev 17, but I recall seeing posts about folks having issues with games installed under rev 14. Does updating the cIOS create a problem for all games added to USB loaders under the old cIOS, just certain games, or only games that were manually installed (from original/retail disc)?
Well, never heard about this. Though the problems should be about games that were ripped with cIOSrev14. cIOSrev17 is the best one, because it fixed the Disc Reading Errors previous cIOS had (including rev14). Your ISOs where corrupted if you dumped games with this. Though cIOSrev18 would be even a better choice for dumping discs, because it has all Bugs in reading the Discs fixed, and will give you realy a 1:1 Rip (as it looks), though it's not out yet.
Also, and this is just a minor inconvenience, I have about a 50% success rate with installing from retail discs through CFG USB loader (I often experience read errors during the install). I've never had this issue when installing from a back-up disc. I do have a flat-mod installed and suspect that it is the problem, can anyone verify this for me?
As far as I remember, certain Chips have problems reading/ripping the Update-Partition...that's why Oggzee set the default ripping method for game partition only. Check if you realy set it up that way. And use cIOSrev17, as told before. Maybe even redump all games when rev18 is out and stable...
Thanks in advance, I appreciate your time!
