fyi, cIOS202 is still used for MPlayer CE and WiiXplorer, all the other apps that used to use it (mainly tantric's apps, like WiiMC or emulators) now use IOS58+ahbprot instead
Actually, since September 2, 2010, MPlayer CE also uses IOS58+ahbprot.

Hi!

I came from cIOS249 rev17 but after installed d2x it can't recognize my USB hard-drives...

I installed d2x in ios38+cios249, but nothing happens
unsure.gif
...

First: Good decision to switch from an old cIOS to d2x.

But to be clear: You installed d2x into ios slot 38 so that the original IOS38 is overriden?
blink.gif

It is often recommended to use d2x with base ios 56 or 57. That does not mean to install the cIOS into that slots. You should only install cIOS into slots > 200. Anything else can cause a brick because of fixed boot1 (and boot2 v4?). However, you should use d2x installer to install d2x v6 into slot 249 and say that ios 56 or 57 should be used as base ios. Try again and share your results please.

Hi again.

I tested IOSes 56/57 into slot 249... none of them work with my hard-drives (not detected)
unsure.gif
... also, I tested d2x-v6 with base 38 + slot 249 (for NAND emulation) and it worked flawlessly on a flash drive, but it didn't recognized my hard-drives again
cry.gif
...

As said before, cios249 rev17 (and previous versions) recognized my hard-drives without problems... can I be missing something (some patched IOS maybe?)... last time (3 or 4 months ago) I tried PMW and everything was OK

also, everywhere you have v5.1 listed, I think it should say v5.1 or v5, since there's no significant differences between the 2 at allSyscheck gets the version of the hermes cIOS over the mload module.What's your point? Can't syscheck get the version number from the mload module hash (or w/e) from either v5.1 AND v5?

It is not necessary to sign the hermes cIOS with the new method.
Hermes has already implemented some functions in his mload module to get the cIOS version and base IOS.
Look at "mload_get_version()" and "mload_get_IOS_base()" in the mload.c which is used by Syscheck and for example the cfg USB Loader.
http://code.google.com/p/syscheck/source/b.../source/mload.c


QUOTE(XFlak @ Jun 16 2011, 09:45 PM)
Besides, syscheck has been updated to scan for the new cIOS signatures which can easily be retroactively applied to older cIOSs. Meaning any cIOS can easily be detected without requiring a database of hashes. Granted ModMii doesn't sign non-d2x cIOSs... yet (hint hint).


I know. I'm one of the coders who works on SysCheck.

http://forum.wii-homebrew.com/board42-krea...d2199-double-a/cool! keep up the good work!

...I still don't see how hermes v5 and v5.1 are significantly different though. Unless ur playing the new prince of persia game with a really outdated usb-loader, AFAIK there's nothing v5 can't do that v5.1 can

CODE
CHANGELOG v5.1
===============
- Renamed the module /dev/usb2 in /dev/usb123
- New feature to disable / dev / mload: use "IOS_Open (" dev / mload / OFF, 0).

What do I choose for "cIOS Slot"? I am using the d2x Custom IOS Installer.

Edit: Crap I meant to post this in the NeoGamma Beta thread. I'm going to install NeoGamma beta 50 if that influences your information on what slot to use.

try base58, but FYI, the only time base58 is ever recommended is when it's the only base that is compatible with your HDD, so give it a shot. If it doesn't work, u can always revert to rev17 until d2x becomes compatible with your HDD
Hi again.

Well, this time I tried your method "58base/249cios" but it didn't worked

Is there a way to report that issue using some diagnostic tool or something

The latest source of Wiiflow seems to be working already with d2x.

It's been great seeing all congregate around the new fixes/features brought to cIOSX by the d2x team.

Excellent work guys!

Is there a rev21d2x7 planned or have we already got everything we can ask for in v6?

I still cannot believe that I am actually playing COD3 and now even Sam & Max 1 & 2 via USB!

Have a look at the first post. There is a "Known Issues" list. So v7 will come. Hopefully.

The remaining issues are quite subtle, just give me the time to gather some fixes and then I'll release a new beta.
Don't ask for an ETA, I won't give you

Once again but insted of Brawl I played Cod Black Ops campain mode for 3 hours stragiht and guess what it froze on one of the cutscens.I rebooted and played again and no freeze. So the d2x cios seems to freeze up the game after a few hours any fix for this? Also not really for cios but usb laoders ing general seem to lag more in online play for Call of Duty then running from backup dvds. any reason why?

Try with Hermes cIOS (base 57) and let me know if you still get crash and lag.
ok but i'll have to play for a staragiht 2 hours. it doesnt freeze like very second it freeZesa after 2 or more hours starght.

also long time ago but i can confirm cod doesnt freeze at all(played for 5 hours) with rev20b.base 57.(howver online is still much more laaggy than with backup discs.)

EDIT: just used hermes 5.1[57] dont know about freezing but it seems the lag has dissapreradred. THANKS!

Hello, I write this message to express my gratitude to davebaol for giving this CIOS much needed stability and functionality. Great job my friend!

Only recently I managed to resolve an issue which kept me from using this CIOS. My external disk drive box (the box, not the drive itself), though it runs fine in Windows and is compatible with Hermes CIOS, wouldn't work with this CIOS. A few days ago, I bought a new external box and the problem disappeared.

Wouldn't it be useful if in the first post of this thread under "Known issues", which I suppose is like a to-do list, there was a section about such problems. What part
of the CIOS is responsible and what could be done to resolve hard disk compatibility issues.

Other people too, have similar problems and those who can't figure out what to do stick with Hermes CIOS which is not under development anymore or buy a hardware mod which is a shame because it really isn't necessary.

By the way, I don't know if there is another place where such issues are discussed, if there is please let me know.

Once again, thanks...

I'm having trouble loading Sam & Max still. I installed v6, and I'm using the latest WiiFlow with a WBFS drive. Is there another step that I missed?

Thx,
Gassy
