I have released v13.4 which will bring it in-sync with Nintendo's Sep 7 System updates.
Download homepage: Multi-Mod-Manager
[Changelog for v 13.4 - Sep 20, 2010]
Install & Patch IOS36:
- upgraded to support Nintendo's Sep7 IOS updates
- installs patched IOS36 as IOS36 & IOS236
- IOS36-64-v3608.wad used as base IOS
IOS Manager
- updated IOS information database to Sep7
Others
- added new on-the-fly patches to active IOS via AHBPROT mode (if available)
*Important Note*
If your Wii has a non-working internet connection setup, a bug in Homebrew Channel 1.07 & 1.08 will crash any homebrew apps (including MMM) within seconds after launch. This affects apps launched in AHBPROT mode.
To disable AHBPROT mode, delete the "no_ios_reload" line from meta.xml file in MMM apps folder.

thx for the update! Perhaps in the future get rid of the 36 patching, and only keep the 236? Now we just need the hbc updated

Thanks for this great update.
Does this make it able to install unsigned wad's without a patched IOS? Like a WAD Manager using AHBPROT instead of a patched IOS / CIOS. If not would that be possible? That would be really cool.

It should allow that,
but be careful, because of the bugs in the HBC when launching no_ios_reload apps, if u attempt to install a vital wad (like SM or SM IOS) and u don't have wifi on the wii and it freezes at the wrong moment, it could lead to a brick
if the app doesn't freeze within the first 60 seconds of it being launched, it should be safe to use.

Doesn't sound like it uses AHBPROT to install wads... I think he just updated the trucha installation...

reloading the IOS would disable AHBPROT, this applies to all appsYuan said:
I'm not sure how wiiwu has set up MMM to handle mmmconfig when AHBPROT patches are applied... if it reloads the IOS, then u would lose AHBPROT patches
@burritoboy9984... u can't give ahbprot rights to some features of an app and not others (AFAIK)... the only way your statement is possible is if when the app is loaded with ahbprot rights, the only option available is to install a patched IOS236... if all the other options are available, like the Wad Manager for example, then it too would use ahbprot. Basically, until the IOS is reloaded, ahbprot rights affect everything done by the app. WiiWu could have disabled all his other features entirely if using ahbprot patches until the IOS is reloaded... but I doubt he would've chosen to do that.
edit: everywhere I said ahbprot rights, i meant ahbprot rights + on the fly patched IOS
fyi, for those without wifi, if u wait in the HBC for 30 seconds before launching any no_ios_reload app, u will have a much higher success rate

Maybe if you used a copy of libogc that wasn't from November last year, you'd see the bug has been fixed there already.
btw thanks for this great app Wiiwu, works great
FYI for those that want to check if AHBPROT is enabled within MMM
If you goto the information screen.
AHBPROT=000000 (Disabled)
AHBPROT=FFFFFF (Enabled)

Wiiwu did you come up with the IOS patching code all by yourself? Or if I look at the binary am I going to see the same GPL code from ftpii/dop-mii/priiloader that everyone else is using?

If your mmmconfig has it set to reload to a preferred IOS then it won't do any AHBPROT patching which is logical.XFlak said:
And I personally haven't found a reliable time to wait in HBC to ensure a higher success rate. The best is to ensure the Wii has a working network connection setup.
BTW priiloader author also did extensive testing and blog on this HBC bug in more technical detail at http://www.dacotaco.com/about-the-priiloader-0-5-removal

Well other than the standard patches, you won't be seeing the same code.

I've personally confirmed on 3 Wii's with no wifi settings (I deleted them for this purpose) that if u wait 30 seconds from when u start the homebrew channel, approx. 85-95% of the time the app works as intended... compared to an approximate success rate of 15% when launched immediately from the homebrew channel.tueidj said:
edit: also, 100% of the time I experienced errors in my testing, the errors occurred within 40 seconds of the app being launched (I tested probably 50 times on 3 different wii's)
This following part is just speculation... but to me its as if when the homebrew channel first starts, it sets in motion Event X which is to occur 30-60 seconds later (maybe calling home? I dunno), and if another app is loaded with ahbprot rights (w/ latest possibly buggy library) before Event X takes place when this timer hits zero the app crashes... apparently only the HBC can recover from or compensate for Event X... or maybe the Event doesn't occur if an app isn't loaded right away, I dunno.... anyways, this is all my personal speculation, I am no expert on this, and I'm sure the real brains behind the scene will come through as usual... eventually.
edit2: this is link explains my testing and speculation perfectly! It is a million times better than the 'laymans terms' speculation I gave above.

thx wiiwu for linking to this... I don't know how I missed it
No, it still doesn't explain it properly.
All IOS communication is done via IPC requests. Each IPC request has a magic word, so the response can be identified. Unfortunately libogc used to always use a single constant magic word for every single IPC requests, so when a late response arrives for HBC's request to initialize the network (which can't be cancelled unless IOS is reloaded) the running app thinks it's valid and tries to run the callback.
The fix for libogc is to make each app use a random magic word generated when the app starts/IPC subsystem is initialized. That way it will simply ignore any IPC responses that it didn't request.
If you're still getting crashes I strongly suggest double-checking that the right libogc build is being linked in, and learn how to debug using the exception dump to trace where the crash happens.

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.

Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
