try 0x80001800 (0x00001800). unsued by all games, 0x1800 bytes

Thats true:
Start----------------Size
0x80001800--------0x1800-----------Unused Exception Vector area often used for loader stubs and reloaders as this area is never cleared or used.


Another question:

/* Copy data */
memcpy(outbuf + cnt, dvdbuf + skip, size);

Maybe there is the bug:

Maybe the memcpy call is to slow or the dvdbuf memory (mem2) is to slow. Normaly the dvd should write directly to outbuf using the drivecache...
We are using the mem2 instead or additionaly of the drivecache as I understand (maybe I am completely wrong here).

Maybe it would be a good idea to open a development post?

Where we just could speak about the development of the Launcher and not about the testing stuff, flames,...

Just an idea

Well your idea hasn't sound that crazy

It would be nice having a development post!

Hey Wiigator, I was the first to comment in your topic when you launched the loader at Tehskeen =) just for curiosity

I think you should launch the second beta version even incomplete because I cannot see any reason to do the oposite..and, well, people will bother until they have what they want (I guess)

Sorry for my bad english x)
But that's my opinion =)

Hello,

I have Waninkoko's backup loader installed. To do this I have his custom IOS and DVDX installed.

After hearing about the impending update for Wiigator's loader I am thinking about changing over.

Do I need to uninstall Waninkoko's before installing Wiigator's? If so how do I do this?

Thanks

you dont have to uninstall your current CIOS because wiigator uses the same one for his.

Is there any compatibility issues on this loader that will work with Waninkoko's loader? Because Wario Land will only work with Waninkoko's loader and not Wiigator's, and I wanted to know if there was anything else that will too.

hey, if you want remove the old cios to try a new one, you must use the anytitle deleter, not the wad manager.

i'm testing out the changes some have suggested here.

You can remove the Cios by pressing - (Minus) on the wad manager when you have the Cios you want to remove selected.

no, the wad manager gives error -1017 if you try to uninstall the custom ios using its wad.
edit: yes, it works. mario kart now doesn't crash on loading 2nd race!! thx every1!
i wonder if any other games are fixed??

i will save some of you the effort of compiling, and wad making: here's a link.

id love to see what other improvements wiigator/others can make. perhaps this will give waninkoko a reason to release his updates.

edit: seems like games aren't working with the wiigator backup launcher, you have to use the waninkoko one. (maybe some1 can check this out, maybe it uses the memory location for sd codes/hacks or something?).
seems like Legend of Spyro: Eternal Night now works (videos still very choppy in parts). maybe ill have to burn warioware to see if that works as well.
edit2: sonic and the secret rings also working...

Trying this out now with various games.

edit: Fixed Mario Kart for me as well, but I was experiencing the same vsync/color issues waninkoko's loader has had so all I did was sit through a race and make sure the next one loaded.
