cfg v61t3 (debug)
cfg61t3.dol
(or online update)

Click to expand...

From a quick test:

Hangs - Have not experienced
Console corruption - Have not experienced
USB Init - Have not experienced
MP3 playing - .mp3 playing is fine
MOD playing - .mod playing does not work
COD Black Ops - I know you said you didn't try fixing this, but I tested and it's actually working correctly with this version.

black ops still stuck on loading screen for me

theres a bunch of text every startup. is theres a way to remove that or can i redownload a previous version of CFG?

As I said, this is for people who have problems with v61 series other than black ops.
For normal use just use v60.

cfg v61b3 (beta)
cfg61b3.dol
cfg61b3-222.dol
(or online update)
Changes:

cfg v61b3 (beta)
* Fixed .mod playing

And includes also the changes in 61t1 - 61t3

18-11-2010 cfg v61t3 (debug test)
* print more debug info, debug enabled by default
* if home=screenshot then make a screenshot if home is being held for 1 second
otherwise exit to hbc. So a short press on home will exit while holding home
for 1 second will make a screenshot
* possible fix for corrupted console text

cfg v61t2 (test)
* init usb immediately after ios reload

cfg v61t1 (test)
* libfat and libntfs build with devkit 17 and -Os

NOTE: This still doesn't fix any COD issues. Since it is still built with devkit 22 and ogc 185

ok this is going to sound rhetorical and stupid, but how do i go from a game back to the usb loader so that im not going to the wii menu? i just some clarification on how to do it
You've already been linked to the Configurable Options page, but the option you want is return_to_channel= where is the 4-character ID of a forwarder channel, like UCXF for the forwarder in the first post. Add the line to config.txt by editing or using the Configurator.

QUOTE(FullMetalEngineer @ Nov 19 2010, 04:05 AM) I love this loader but there's only ONE HUGE PAIN about it..

Why can't I set a GLOBAL setting that forces NTSC for ALL Games in a single setting like other loaders?
Something like this shouldn't take more than a few lines of code?

It's impossible to keep individually setting 100 PAL games through trial and error if I ever lose the settings.

You've already been linked to the Configurable options page, but the option you want is video=ntsc. Add the line to config.txt by editing or using the Configurator.

v6.0 worked fine for me, except Black Ops lagged like mad. cIOS 224 (the version needed) wouldn't run Black Ops in CFG v6.0, so I switched over today to v6.1t3, and Black Ops now runs like butter online. Look forward to losing the text and prompts at CFG start-up, but I can happily live with it for the time being if it allows me to play Black Ops online lag-free.

Many thanks!

oggzee, can you include the old coloured switch logo as one of the intro options ? I like that one the best, but it got removed

Either that, or tell me which file those options are stored in, so i can edit it and compile my own version.

Are there any compatibility issues or something for games?

So far... this has only happened on this one game though.

I've tried to install Pokémon Battle Revolution on my HDD, but it fails. The game boots up but after the little warning screen for the controller... it stays on a black screen.

I know the ISO image is not a bad rip. The game launches correctly when launched by disc through NeoGamma.

Anyone know why the game just hangs at a black screen after the warning screens?

.mod files are working correctly again, and my USB MP3 player (which I store .wbfs files on) is finally working with USB Loader! Previously it would crash if it was connected at boot, I would have to make sure it was disconnected, change from SD to USB, wait for the countdown to appear and then plug the USB cable in. In this version it just works. Thanks a lot!

oggzee · Nov 19, 2010

Ok, let's try to figure out which ogc version breaks COD:BO
Here are 7 different dol binaries based on 61b3 built with different devkit and ogc versions.
If anyone has time, please try them all and let me know which ones work properly with CODBO and which don't.
171 is expected to work and 185 is expected to not work, but try those too for confirmation.

cfg61t171 devkit 17 ogc 1.7.1
cfg61t180 devkit 22 ogc 1.8.0
cfg61t181 devkit 22 ogc 1.8.1
cfg61t182 devkit 22 ogc 1.8.2
cfg61t183 devkit 22 ogc 1.8.3
cfg61t184 devkit 22 ogc 1.8.4
cfg61t185 devkit 22 ogc 1.8.5

have fun testing

edit: Oh and if you want to check the version from inside the loader, go to global options and press + the ogc and devkit versions will be printed.

Could any body make the gameinfo when starting the game scrollable?
So we can read the WHOLE info?

thanks!

Hi oggzee. thanks for taking the time to make a debug for us. really grateful for you taking your time to contribute something free for the users.
anyway, this is the debug screen of 61t3 until it hangs.

at which it hangs. I'm using Hitachi XL1000 1TB ext hdd. The access light on the enclosure stays on. It blinks for a short while periodically. Anyway, hope it helps in your investigation.
PS. can i know your facebook profile? you can pm me.

I can confirm this, it doesn't work with libogc 1.8.4 and 1.8.5. All previous releases are working fine.

gizmomelb · Nov 20, 2010

oggzee - the problem might be with the Hitachi XL1000 drive itself.. it's one of the newer SATA drives that use the new 4KB sector size (advanced format), instead of the traditional 512 bytes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Format

so maybe the HDD geometry lookup doesn't know how to handle the new sector size?

more info on Advanced Format here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector

darkgunsou86 · Nov 20, 2010

really? it is working with v60 of the configurable loader. maybe newer version have problems with the 4kb sector.

I doubt it's the drive too, since v60 works.
btw did you get a chance to try out 61t4 which I posted before?
although I'm starting to suspect the problem might be in the raw fs detection for your sd card.
because this looks like a weird partition table for your sd card:

F#0 778135900 1141509631 114
F#1 168609522 1936020240 101
F#2 1869001465 1936020192 121
F#3 2005601152 55499 13

This change was:
19-10-2010 cfg v61a (alpha)
* Improved partition check for raw fs (v60t1 fix)

I will revert that change and make another test version.
It might start working for you but then it will break again stuff for other guys.
Hmm I don't see a good solution for this.
