I honestly dont care about cIOS's. I got all my games legally owned. I hate using discs just for the fact that I will eventually burn out the laser, but I would rather burn out my laser instead of using anything from fail waninkoko. That guy has screwed up more thing irresponsibly than anyone else in the scene.

Hell, bootmii/the hackmii installer has not bricked a single console. How many consoles has wanky bricked from his uneducated carelessness? Quite a lot. I am Anti-Wanky at this point.

If you are really want to flame Wanin, go to his twitter,blog or IRC, don't do it here, these guys at least trying to improve on Wanins cios...this can only be encouraged...

The procedure given in the OP here does not work for me.

After step 10 I see a couple of "file already exists and has been verified, skipping download" messages quickly wiz by for my cios, 249dx56 and 250dx57. Two wads are listed, cIOS[56]-v21d2x.wad (Valid) and cIOS250[57]-v21d2x.wad (Valid). I do not see the "invalid messages" mentioned in the OP and I see that the final wads produced in my COPY_TO_SD folder still have the name, date+time, and hash of the v21dx2 wads from a few days ago.

Remove them from that folder.
If ModMii finds the file and they are valid then it doesn't download them once again.

I see you updated your instructions after my post but I suggest you need to clarify that the user MUST delete all files in the COPY_TO_SD folder before doing the download. After doing this, I see the download worked and my new wad files were built.

There will be plenty of people who have followed these instructions exactly, as I did, but have not realised that they have just reinstalled the original v21d2 wads.

Thanks for your work.

I have yet to have my Wii get bricked or messed up from anything I have used from Waninkoko. Some of that is luck, and some of that is just using common sense. For example, whenever I want to update my Wii, I would not use his updaters nor others, but rather use NUSD with MMM or his WAD Manager.

Personal feelings aside, modifying the Wii's NAND is risky, period. You use the example of bootmii/hackmii being infallible, but don't forget that the HomeBrew Channel has yet to be updated to fix the async network init bug. I believe a few Wii were lost to that bug and Priiloader v0.5 intallation.

That said, Waninkoko, fix your cIOS, please!!!

Back to the OP topic..... Looks like rev21d2x v2 has hit the lag and secondary port issues out of the park. Way to go! I haven't heard nor experienced any negatives or still existent problems with the new cIOSx mod as far as these issue go. Well, except CoD:BO lag, but I'm looking squarely at Treyarch and their recent bout of patches for that issue... Thanks for all your hard work on this one team D2X.

Can you explain the async network init bug in HBC?

Thx.

I was still experiencing problems with version 1 (eg: a small freeze while calibrating DJ Hero), but with v2 the problem is gone. I thought I just had bad timing but now I get 5 Stars every track. It/I may not be perfect yet, but I'm happy with the results. Thanks for the great work.

This is from DacoTaco's blog.
CODEIts been some time since i removed Priiloader 0.5 from my webserver and google code and i still haven’t written why i did it (shame on me :-P ).

i removed the installer deu to a bug. At the time of removal there had been a few bricks (and thankfully 99% had bootmii @ boot2 >_> ) deu to the bug.

what was the bug all about?

easy

there were no internet settings set. that’s right, that’s how you trigger the bug.

At first i was surprised : how could something like that screw up the installer completely ?! at first i thought i had a memory corruption. so after a complete installer cleanup of memory blocks, memory alignment and arrays i could scrap that idea of the list.

maybe there was a bug in my code? only one way to find out. i ran a completely basic hallo world which only inits video & GC Pad (so i could exit) . and bam, crash. that left me to believe it was either HBC or libogc (at this point i was almost sure it was HBC cause of how AHBPROT is passed on to the loaded application).

so i we (lukegb & myself) ran some tests and tried several basic stuff to help dhewg identify the problem. as time passed i got no response from him so i thought i could try the second option : inform the libogc team about the bug and hope they will help more.

and so they did.

shagkur deleted his internet settings and ran his demo app. no dice; it ran fine. weirdly enough, the basic hallo world did crash and so he started looking at the source.

after a while he discovered that why it crashes is cause of an IPC reply it didn’t expect and therefor refers to its registered callback (registered from HBC).where is the callback? at 0x813a2028

that address could only mean one thing : its a ipc reply from something HBC asked for and never shut down. Tantric & shagkur both believe that the Async network init from HBC is the source. they believe that the async is never canceled/de-init and therefor the ipc reply comes when the app is loaded; causing the nice crash.

so yes, the crash is related to HBC and as long as its not fixed im not releasing another Priiloader version, no discussion about it.

if TT wanted to give us AHBPROT they should have checked if everything was de-init perfectly (because without AHBPROT HBC reloads the ios, loosing the rights and resetting everything from ipc…therefor no unwanted ipc reply in the app ) or if anything none-evil could happen. this is what i do most of my time working on priiloader (i have so many potential holes in my source;_; )

Daco Over and out

PS : about the user agent strings of priiloader. would anyone who creates mods please update the HTTP parser? that way i can see pretty fast if a mod is doing the insane amount of connections or you guys are just paranoid. thanks

I just tried the new rev and it works quite well for the most part. Rock Band 3 seems to work fairly well. I didn't test the guitar syncing yet, but seemed to work just fine with v1. The keyboard is where I'm running into some slight delays. This version works better than the first, but I noticed when playing some quarter notes every once in a while some delay would happen. The notes would be fine, then not register, then one or two that were delayed, then working fine again. I have only tested on a few songs, but seems to be more prevalent on songs stored on the SD card. It has been said before that this is an issue with the game itself, but I would think if it were this common there would be more information and claims pertaining to this matter. I am using a WD 1tb Passport HDD, WiiFlow 304, and 21d2x-v2 (at least I think I updated it correctly) Hopefully this documentation can be used to either realize another small issue, or at least help me figure out if I am the only one with this problem.

All in all, thank you so much for all your hard work in getting this going, without this there were a lot of games that were very aggravating, and possibly more that may have had a blind eye on them. I wish I could buy you all a beer!

It's nice to see that ppl are working to improve the cIOS's since wanky has dropped the ball on it. I doubt he will ever release anything for the wii anymore...which is kind of a good things since he's messed up on the last few releases one way or another.

@Everyone
Poll added to the 1st post.
Let me know if d2x worked for you.

@XFlak
I bet you have never seen a poll like that.

I already did that. Thank you for the suggestion.
Yeah, Wanky got quite the beating from me on twitter. He's become mysteriously silent since then. LOL

Great job to all of you working on this.

Too bad there isn't a way to get usb loaders working on both USB ports. Probably is possible but I'm sure those who do know how to do it won't care enough to take the time. I guess it really isn't necessary anyways.
