Hacking cIOSrev15 released and it's broken yay

static dvddiskid *g_diskID = (dvddiskid*)0x80000000;
ret = bwDVD_LowReadID(g_diskID,__dvd_readidcb);

Yes you modify the value, because it has to be done. If the disc id is not there, you are about to get lots of trouble.

How about just commenting that one line of code and just trying if it works?

You're not actually meant to set the disc ID like that, you're meant to read the first 0x20 bytes from the disc to 0x80000000. This sets the ID, disk number/version, and disc type (GC/Wii) all in one operation.

That's what the code does. And it uses the correct ioctl for it, which is a very important detail.

so you may need to write the gameid to 2 different location instead of just one if 0x8000 don't work

 

[mousex]

try madri1's fix posted here.

It's not a fix.

I will not comment this any further:

[madri1]

0x80003184 4 0x80000000 Game ID address

you told that if the value is 0x80000000, it gives error 001.
So you should give ANOTHER address where the gameid IS.

It means -> write it to 0x80000000 AND another place

edit:
ok looks like this value isn't necessary to launch the game.

here is the version that work with the line commented :

http://www.2shared.com/file/9205131/998e22af/sourcecode.html

even with an address linking to somewhere else, it gives an error 001 :
char fix[7] = "LOL";
*(vu32*)0x80003184 = (char *)fix; // Game ID Address

I'm not sure if you are qualified to run a compiler....

and just what is this from "nightwaxon"

What a load of sychophantic drivel!

sychophantic ? Some kind of new word?

eh...might be new to you..but that isn't a new word, maybe the misspelling through you off...
the correct spelling is sycophantic.

I get 001 errors or green screen reboots with every game ran from disc in neogamma now, using cios rev15 and neogamma r8b12

I just switched to ULoader since it works with everything, including NSMB without any crazy patches or fixes

I dont know what you mean by not disc channel compatible, i run everything from disc and everything works fine for me

DVDs work with mplayer (tested with saw, american pie)
Retail games work like normal (tested with super mario galaxy, super smash bros brawl)
Burned back-ups work with Uloader (tested with nsmb, the conduit(online works to), the force unleashed, mario kart wii(online works to), no more heroes, super mario galaxy)

Im not saying rev 15 is perfect, but dont blame it for everything

 

[Benjay]

did you read the topic ??

the problem with rev15 is the one you mention : 001 error with Neogamma......

 

[Deleted User]

any launcher that works loading disks with cIOS rev 15 ?

 

[xzxero]

uloader 3.1

 

[madri1]

we need a cios that fake the bca read:

My point was that if it was rev 15 then all loaders should give an 001 error, but uloader does not
If all loaders gave the 001 error then its a bug with rev 15, but since some work (uloader) then its not a rev 15 bug

Disc channel is the channel on the top left in the Wii Menu which shows which disc is in the drive. NSMBW doesn't work through it.

 

[manias]

usbloadergx also boots discs just fine

If you get the disc channel to use cIOSrev15(with a rebooter for example), then you get 001 error too, but i guess that's the disc channel's fault and not the cIOS's fault...

Works fine through the Disk Channel for me and I'm using rev 15, its just neogamma that doesnt work for me.

He could release the source without the DIP stuff if WiiGator doesn't agree.

I can hardly see it being an issue. Several of wiigator's apps are open source as it is, like his backup launcher, gamecube backup launcher, gamecube cmios patcher, etc.

Although I will say, and I say this as a big supporter of open source software, that releasing the source code for things is not always the best idea.

Dark_Alex of the PSP scene was very careful about whom he gave the source code of his custom firmware to. Why? Because if source code like that becomes available, everyone is able to see how custom firmware is made, including Sony.

The source code for an older custom firmware was leaked once, and this greatly angered Dark_Alex. Why? Because Sony, having seen the source code, deliberately made changes in their next firmware update in order to complicate making the custom firmware.

Now, knowing this event, you can all likely deduce that Nintendo getting ahold of the source for the custom IOS would quite possibly mean Nintendo making their IOS's more difficult to patch, make games more difficult to run with backup launchers, etc.

That's why, in this case, I think the source code should be carefully controlled by those in the wii community able to handle updating the cIOS.

Now of course, I'm not saying that the source code being available for it will instantly cause problems with Nintendo's possible counter measures, but it's certainly something to consider before you release it.

not really the same, psp custom firmware made much more work, most, if not all of it done my dark_alex, Waninkoko, released his custom by stringing stuff together and the patches are so small, that it takes about 2 days, to go from knowing nothing to understanding the patches. If there was alot of non-public code, reversing would take a long time, but most can be traced back to current source code and is easy to understand. Do I think, the source should be released, yes, but I'm usually for that, do I hope everyone will make there own cIOS, no. I'd rather a team formed and made something stable and clean, much like the HBC and bootmii.

Will we see this, I don't know, but I'd certainly like to be part of it and use a cIOS developed in that way.
