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

[pokemonster]

Assuming d2x beta 7 is given to a select few for testing purposes. Do you have any plans on doing a public beta test? I am interested in helping test it out when the opportunity arises.

I have heard some things are being worked, but nothing as far as actually knowledge only speculation.

I have been using d2x v7 alpha5 with the latest wiiflow beta (r410) and it works very well. It works nicely with the new nand emulation support on wiiflow, and also works great with every wii game I've tried so far.

I suspect that a d2x v7 beta will be released soon

Good news thanks

I asked a couple of pages back with no response. What is the target area to fix in v7?

I'm pretty sure that Dave is still working on the EHCI module (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

 

[Etheboss]

Nope, you are right... development is just slow because he is on holiday.

i tried loading metroid prime trilogy but it seems to be stuck at the initial loading screen... and super smash bros brawl doesnt even start....
i use cfg with d2x in 248

help!
thanks in advance

Did you install base 56 in 248 (d2x v6 of course) and are you using the latest version of Cfg?

yes, i followed the d2x guide on the cfg site and i have the newest ver of cfg (50 i think)
could it be that my copy is simply corrupt??

How to add a new cIOS in the installer (documentation planned)
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 :

hi all, i'm wanting to install this new rev21 d2x fix. I'm still on rev20. with the cfg_70 ios58 v11. I downloaded the ciosx-d2x6 and the d2x cios installer v2.1. i went to install the d2x cios v2.1 and it said i needed to install it to some other IOS. I am on ios249. and it works for all my games. so im kinda worried about proceeding without actually knowing what i am doing. don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but my son has several disabilities and he learns via gaming world. so to mess up his gaming for him on the wii is a hassle i don't want to create. i'm wondering if someone could walk me through this? make sure i got the right files etc. I don't find modmii on my wii homebrew channel but i do have multi wad manager. I don't have a xml editor. unless thats notepad? I did see a few images in the posts on this topic but their not what the d2x install page on my wii looked like. however i didn't go past the intial bootup/install page.

Thanks in advance,
Jennah

I have that same error, i just copied the boot.dol, meta.xml and icon.png from v3 over the old version.

 

[LinkFan16]

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the people who work so hard and put all that effort into cios d2x. just testet the metroid prime trilogy with my usb loader and ios reload block enabled, works like a charm!

 

[Shadow#1]

what is the latest beta?

 

[dragbe]

Etheboss, airline38, I will look at this problem after my holidays

 

[JoostinOnline]

I don't know if this will fix it, but try using this meta.xml file instead:
http://www.mediafire.com/?qeyrbc57euy7ci7

I fixed the release_date and the no_ios_reload tags.

[brausm08]

don't know if it's the issue, but there is a installer/d2x7a5 combo download floating about on the web that is goofy (can't post the site as it'll get snipped)

i tried it; it gave an error ("unable to get the module MLOAD for the D2X v7alpha5 cIOS base 37") trying to install the v7a5 using the v3.0 installer. i moved the beta files to v2.2 installer and they went in. ...but...

i was having problems with the cIOS functions (syscheck would freeze on them; games launched with wiiflow r410 would freeze a minute or so in, but the sync delay in d2x wiiflow was gone), so i dumped those to compare to a .wad set i got from ; they were different sizes....this set i have now behaves as it should (syscheck reads them; games don't freeze; sync delay in WF r410 is back unfortunately)

don't know if it applies to what you're experiencing, but if you got your module set from the same source i got mine, then it could be the problem....

It was worth a shot. I'll leave the file up in case the creators want to use it. The changes may not have helped with the error, but I still fixed the date and no_ios_reload.

 

[roubagalinhas]

changing the cios revision to 21 or 6535 makes any real difference?
does it change anything in the cios (features, compatibility, etc)? does it install a newer version?

if not what's the point in changing it?
thanks

Are you read first post?

You won't find ModMii on the HomeBrew Channel, it is an app for your Windows PC, which sets up the .wad files you need to install to your Wii...

You can get the details of ModMii from this forum thread: http://gbatemp.net/t207126-modmii-for-windows
