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

[kylster]

I'm not sure if your goals are just to perfect d2x on a real wii nand or emu-nand but your d2x IOS do work with homebrew on emulated nand and I was curious if you were planning on checking into this? I know it's not necessary but for a few homebrew we need like savegame manager gx.
Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

Installed and played with v7 final a bit, works a treat so far! Thanks again davebaol!

For what it's worth v7 final seems to have even faster loading times for me!

if anyone can confirm that a cIOS works better on emulated nands than cIOS249rev14 please let me know and I will replace the cIOSrev14 installation option in ModMii when building emulated nands.

A lot of thanks for your work , just a question:
Does this version(v7) have compatibility whit the secondary usb port?

 

[davebaol]

@kylster
Not sure to unrderstand, do you mean running homebrews requiring a cios from inside sneek?
Does it work?

@Marverickds
No, ehci module is almost the same as v6

Thanks a lot davebaol !

Well since the wad pack of d2x v7d was released on wiiflowiki I have been using your d2x IOS in neek2o to run various apps.Here are some findings:

Spoiler

[titleartial Working Apps]

• SaveGameManagerGX: partial works; boots up the 1st time but Wii Motes become unsynced; freezes at loading ios249, so it works when it wants to but it does work sort of. I'm going to rephrase this: It will boot up to where you can see the saves and everything but sometimes it will only boot up to the loading ios249.
• WiiMod: works except for ATD function randomly gives DSI error but installing wads, SM, dumping, all seem to work fine; you will get a Cannot get TMD ticket error but it'll only show up 3 times before you get to the app itself
• WiiXplorer: runs but gives extended black screen when 1st loading

Spoiler: Apps that run perfect under d2x

• DumpMii: runs perfect
• d2x cios installer 3.1: works perfect
• Postloader3: runs perfect
• MyMenuify Mod: runs perfect

EDIT: personally I dont really use homebrew alot anymore I just autoboot into PL3 under neek but there are a lot of apps that do work just the Wiimote becomes unsynced. Also the above apps are the ones I use most often under neek.

@XFlak I'm not saying d2x works better then rev14 but it does run work with homebrew. I'm just wondering if there are any plans to improve on it for use w/in neek?

@kylster
Ok, open a new issue here and report what you wrote above so I can keep track of that more easily.

 

[dhwz]

Hm, davebaol really strange things happening for me.
v7 beta1g worked almost perfectly but now in v7 final.
I got this uid.sys problem again, the return to channel doesn't work, black ops DLC content cannot be downloaded. Ok I did cleanup the hole partial emunand and now blackops is just returning to the HBC. ?!?

 

[kylster]

Should I make a separate "new issue" for each homebrew? or is it feasible to put all 3 in 1 "new issue"

 

[davebaol]

@dhwz
This is wierd. It seems to me that you installed d2x v6 lol

@kylster
I think that just 1 issue to collect all this kind of bugs is enough.
The summary could be something like "Issues with d2x, Sneek and homebrews"

 

[dhwz]

@davebaol
Yes it sounds wierd. But I've installed the right one cIOS249[56]-d2x-v7-final.wad and cIOS250[57]-d2x-v7-final.wad
When I switch back to d2xv7beta1g which I've installed on slot 248 and 247 everything is working again.

 

[kylster]

oh i should have refreshed more often sorry I just posted but can they be merged or edited?

 

[dhwz]

@davebaol
Ok, I've reinstalled the cIOS this time with the d2x Installer now everything seems to be working fine.
WTF did ModMii do with the v7 final wads, or did waninkokos wad installer something wrong. Dunno. But now its ok. Thx for your great work.

Why do you want to use neek2o and d2x at the same time? Both do nand emulation, both load games from usb, and that's why they interfere with each other. To me these issues are related to the apps, they shouldn't allow to load any IOS >200 when *neek* is running. Look at NeoGamma's Sneek support, when NeoGamma detects that Sneek+DI or Uneek+DI is running, it completely shuts down cIOS support. Yes, it might need an update for neek2o, but that's not a cIOS problem from my point of view.

ModMii v4.8.2 was just released

I saw this in the changelog:

- Added nand emulation mode rev17-like (experimental).

Is this enabled through a flag or argument that the loader/app has to manage or is it automatic somehow?

When emu-nands are made using ModMii it asks us if we would like to install 249rev14 cause it works with SaveGameManagerGX we can install game saves. I have no intention of running nand emulation with d2x on neek2o; I only thought it would be possible to have one cIOS instead of needing one on real nand and one on neek preventing the need of rev14. I believe my statement or meaning is misunderstood here.

 

[GolfDude]

does the nand emu stuff work with ntfs or only fat drives?
