Hacking cIOSX rev21d2x: Yet Another Hot Fix!!!!

spotanjo3 · Oct 10, 2011

I am tempting to change from NeoGamma R9 beta 50 and 249 to final d2x v6 final but I am afraid to try this final d2x v6 final. Why ? Because I dont want to screw up my Wii. I am on 3.2u, by the way.

lol d2x v6 is super tested, don't worry

I don't know.. It cannot downgrade back to 249 if I dont like it, correct ?

There is no reason not to install d2x v6 (base 56) to slot 249. It fixes a lot of issues with whatever IOS249 you likely have. In the highly unlikely event that you want to downgrade back to what you have, you have that option.

Cool. Thanks a lot. Cheers.

Dave, Can you update the spoiler of d2x Installer on first page because v2.1 is really out of date ^^

Not if you have a proper softmod. Priiloader blocks updates.

How to add a new cIOS in the installer

Since d2x cIOS Installer v2.0, it is possible to add cIOS without having to compile sources !
This new functionality can be very useful for installing beta versions of cIOS or even create "hybrid" cIOS such as the cIOS d2x vX but with the EHCI and ES module vY

To do this, you do not really need any programming skills apart from reading a .xml file and rename things.
So, to add a cIOS to the list, in addition to those already present, you have to grab the modules (file format .app) of the cIOS you want to build (look at ModMii's sources), place them in the right place on the SD/USB device and edit CIOSMAPS.xml file.

In binaries, you will see a file named sampleCIOSMAPS.xml which is actually the "map" of the cIOS v6 d2x (a kind of installation guide for d2x cIOS Installer).
Once opened with an XML editor, it's scary but there are only a few lines we are interested in:
- Here the tag name indicates the name that appears on the d2x cIOS Installer and version the final revision of cIOS (max = 65535). You can edit these two tags as you wish.
- Then enter the spoiler of the IOS Base you want to install, for example IOS Base 37, I open the spoiler
- Inside, the only lines that interest us are those that contain the tags module example: . If I want to change the EHCI module, I can simply change its name.
If you put multiples new cIOS, dont forget to change the line on the top !
- Once the changes are done, save and rename the file sampleCIOSMAPS.xml in CIOSMAPS.xml

- So now, let us see what to do with modules (.app files). The directory tree to use for storing modules mainly depends on the attribute name of the tag ciosgroup involved in the CIOSMAPS.xml. As an example, for a cIOS with :

Heh, for a sec I thought d2x v7 was out XD

nobody_tw · Oct 14, 2011

Hi, davebaol

I have downloaded d2xv7b1d from wiiflowiki.
Is this your new beta version of d2x?

I will test it soon.
Can I post the problems here (if any) or just PM to you.
Anything needs to test or observe?
What's the main improvement of v7?

Thanks!!

Kurems · Oct 14, 2011

I found a bug in d2xv7b1d (bases 249[37] and 250[38]) with the European version of Rock Band 3 (on a WBFS partition) and DLCs installed on a SDHC card. Simply, the game refuse to read the SD card at the start of the game.
The bug doesn't occur with:
- the original disc on the same Wii;
- a SD card of 2Gb maximum with the same DLCs on it;
- reinstalling d2xv7a5 with FIX94 WAD Pack.

Which IOS does the game use? Shouldn't that be IOS56? What happens with base IOS56?

Kurems · Oct 14, 2011

Well done! I had installed d2xv7b1d with d2x cIOS Installer v3.1 (base IOS37), works great now with base IOS56.
It worked with d2xv7a5 because I used FIX94 WAD Pack on my past installation (always base IOS56 with cIOS249).
Thanks!

EDIT : It explains why I didn't succeed to read my SDHC card (base 37 VS. base 56).

Some people are reporting bugs with "The Adventures of Tintin EUR PAL" and "Schlag den Raab - Das 2. Spiel GERMAN PAL". It nearly sounds at a new (simple) protection system. Here a some shared information (translated from another forum as best as I can):

The Adventures of Tintin:
- The wii freezes in coop mode (second choice) when selecting a character. (after "Read disc" message)
- After the thunder the game hangs
- The wii freezes everytime when a savegame is created. After resetting the wii the game can continue from that savepoint.
=> Tested with d2x v6 with bases 37, 56 and 57, no difference between cfg loader and usb loader gx (each at latest version)

Schlag den Raab - Das 2. Spiel:
- The game (only game, not wii) hangs at different places (round cannot be finished, game must be resetted)
- Play teammate until last question and wii created memory error (i suppose code dump)
=> Tested with d2x v6 with base 56 (default by the game) and cfg loader

Can anybody confirm this too?

Fox888 · Oct 20, 2011

yep i can cofirm the issue with The Adventures Of Tintin (almost just like Driver SF) :hateit:

the game freeze everytime it creates a savegame... tested with CFG - Usbloader GX - Wiiflow and Neogamma r9 b50 (many different revs of the usbloaders)also with every d2x base possible (d2x v7 b1d)

so it seems like every ubisoft games that will come from now, wont work from backups...

roubagalinhas · Oct 22, 2011

and as as far as i can tell is a general issue

Maybe it's the "old" check seen before, the game is sometimes checking the "path" and if it's not wii reader it freeze ????

arjaylight · Oct 22, 2011

which is better cios revision to install d2x, r21006 or r65535?

XFlak · Oct 22, 2011

65535 will survive ninty updates, but doesn't matter since it can be reinstalled after an accidental update anyways

21006 is required for certain apps to detect what cIOS it is. I'm not sure which ones

basically it should make no difference

I know SysCheck and Cfg USB Loader both detect the verison/base correctly when it's maxed out.

Did d2x work for you?

Yes, I had an issue with the official cios and d2x fixed it

Yes, but everything was already working for me with the official cios

No, and I posted what goes wrong

No, and I won't report what goes wrong because I am a troll
