Hacking @All USB Loader developers

[WiiPower]

*Update: Rev13(inofficial rev13a) requires loaders to fix 002, rev13b fixes that again. In return rev13b is slower.

Add this line BEHIND the apploader, that's after getting the entrypoint. And before the DCFlushRange(...). This removes the 002 error then.

*(u32 *)0x80003140 = *(u32 *)0x80003188;

Here's how it looks like in Gamma's code:

ÂÂÂÂappentrypoint = (u32)app_final();

ÂÂÂÂ// Remove 002
ÂÂÂÂ*(u32 *)0x80003140 = *(u32 *)0x80003188;
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂDCFlushRange((void*)0x80000000, 0x3f00);

Waninkoko changed the removement of the 002 that the cIOS does, the new method results in faster reading speed. For apps from system menu it should still be working, just game loaders need to do it from now on.

If anybody gets 002 with a game from disc channel(but i think that's broken anyways) or with VC/WiiWare that is patched to IOS249, report to Waninkoko.

Does this work with older cios249 revisions (eg 9-12) too? Or is this for rev13 only?
Btw, is there a easy way to tell the revision? (programmatically of course)

Thanks for sharing that WiiPower - your always on top of these things in fairness , well done.

NeoGamma and SoftChip always tell the revision of the used IOS/cIOS.

And yes it will work on ALL IOS and cIOS, it's just THE patch to get rid of 002 when using a loader.

What is 002 error?
I don't have many games, can you tell me which game should give this error?
I'm only using coverflow usbloader.

one that had it was need for speed undercover as far as i can remember and sonic and the black knight (someone correct me on these - my wii is chipped)
Ohh and its a blue screen saying 002 Error when a game loads.

seems like the cIOS38 rev13 that just came out are producing many 002 errors for the games from what I've read in the cIOS38 rev13 installer released thread,

Could you please read the 1st post in this topic?

Is it a problem that happens even on usb loaders?
I have both and don't have that problem...(i use cios rev10).

With rev10, these two games worked fine. However, with rev13, you would have 002 error if you haven't modified currently loader.

Ah ok, if we will add support for rev13 I'll have a look at the wiipower advice, thanks both!

nice little mod very useful, would like to see one with ios reload though.

 

[Meannekes]

use rev13b and you dont need to change something in your code

 

[WiiPower]

True, but if you knew what rev13b and rev8 till rev12 did, you would install rev13a immediatly and use a loader with that single line of code. Do a benchmark with both cIOS.

Those that know you will do what you tell them WiiPower,
Those that dont will post a question and those that know you will answer so evetually everyone will do as your telling them , its just a matter of the info filtering down the line.

Its all going to work out in the end.

Nah:
1. Too many people are to ignorant to even consider reading something they would have to think about
2. Eventually i get tired explaining the same all over again



Best would be if developers see this thread and just integrate that fix as it would not harm and in case the 002 fix is changed/removed, the loader would be fine.

Mkay, I've done my homework:

cfg v31c (bug fixes / minor improvements)

http://sharebee.com/ec8dd992

- cIOS 249 rev13 - 002 fix (by WiiPower)
- Fixed: power off button in GUI mode
- Fixed: gui style no longer resets when switching to console and back to gui
- option gui=start will switch to gui directly after device init, without first displaying the game list in console mode
- print IOS version and revision in device selection menu
