OK, so I updated the IOS.

Tried the followin so far:

Metroid 3:
Working well, loading times with the doors seem to have reduced, I actually had the patience to wait for the doors to open (about 2 minutes)

Mario Galaxy:
The hill error is still there.

Mario Kart Wii:
No crashes, tried to play online, but loading time still disconnects you from the race.

House of dead 2 & 3:
House of dead 2 still dosn't work


If I recall, The issue with House of the Dead 2 was in the original GeckoOS code the backup loader was based off of, and was fixed in a later version of GeckoOS so it might be more a gecko issue than a backup loader one.

that would make sense given that the gecko code used in this project is not the latest.

edited: if I have time later tonight(doing a section of a paper), I'll give it a go updating this to latest gecko.

did you run the game with the program by wiigator (modified geckoos) or waninkoko (beta backup launcher 0.1)?

WiiGator has a new Beta loader out on test to a few people at the moment - he is using that one to test a few games i believe and not the normal two that are hanging around.
This has only been released to a few people for beta testing for now and it not for general release as yet.

He needs to fix some bugs in the alpha release i tested it out even the 2nd version then now 3version still some issues we will have 0.2 working within few days after everything is fixed

oh ok, well it sounds like the new loader isn't helping much, we need more progress on the ios side as well.
is he makin any cios upgrades as well or not? any other speed/compatibility fixes to report (like red steel)?

edit: btw, anyone think wiigator and waninkoko have more in common than just the 1st letter of their names?

The Loader beta v.2 it the same as the first beta of the v2 . WiiGator is actually making ios upgrades.

As soon as something is released officially ill have it in my zip and ill have a note next to the file with the date its updated and what was released - this one will be a biggie so itll be in bold.

I dont have a copy of the beta so dont ask , and even if i had it wouldnt be added to the zip. Whats there works for a lot of things so be happy with thats out for now and give the lads time to work on other things - less pressure on them will mean a better outcome.

just tried wario: shake it! and it works with the modified cios and wanin's backup loader! after waiting ~10 mins for the 1st unskippable video to pass, i was able to play thru the tutorial and continue to the next stage without it crashing. for those wondering, apparently you have to buy stages in a shop (in the game) to continue thru the game.

it is odd that the wiigator loader would have trouble with this, but maybe the new one will work.

@ ppc_gba:

Your fix_ios didn't worked for me, everything when just like the other cIOS (36rev4) except for Mario Strikers, wich happens to work sometimes (if not freeze), and now with your fix_ios I get the PSoD (Pink Screen of Death), that was the only diference; tryed with:

Medal Of Honor Vanguard: Give me the an error ocurred eject the disc and turn off the Wii (same with all)
Fifa '08: Stop at the wiimote security (desync the wiimote and never sync) (same with all)
Mario Strikers: PSoD (just with ppc_gba's fix_ios)

p.s. i reset the Wii before trying any game, and i couldn't unistalled with "Wad Manager", I had to use the "Waninkoko's cIOS Unistaller"

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
