Updated my previous post about The Amazing Race.

Ok, started a last test with different games. All games are PAL and ran with default configuration, in main menu I pressed "Home", chose "Reset" and here are the results:

- Mario Kart Wii: works (=brings back to game main menu)
- Wii Play: works
- Wii Sports: works
- New Super Mario Bros Wii: works
- Mario Party 8: does not work (Wii hangs)
- Wii Party: does not work (Wii hangs)
- Triviual Pursuit: does not work (back to wii menu)
- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: does not work (back to wii menu)

Is this enough to accept it as an issue?

Btw: Get well soon, davebaol! You definitively work to hard for us.

Just tested all of th above listed PAL games with 249[56]v6beta1 and CFG v69b3 on a PAL Wii.
I can confirm that none of the mentioned problems occured.

"Block IOS Reload" was set to auto (CFG69b3) or manually to on.

When "Reset" was hit the games rebooted/restarted correctly (no hangs or black screens).
When "Wii menu" was hit all games returned correctly back to CFG through of. CFG forwarder.

First of all, thanks for the great effort that is put into d2x

One game that I never managed to get working from hhd is The Amazing Race, so I had my hopes high when trying with d2x, but sadly it still does not work. Anyone else had any luck getting this game to work?

Confirmed NOT to work with any usb loaders (CFG - GX and WiiFlow) and d2x v6 B1, just boot into a black screen (yet another Ubisoft problem)

I just read through the official release thread and found one person that could get this working with USBloader GX. See here.

To me this sounds like an issue of a bad release. Can anyone that owns the game rip it to HDD and then test?

Also, can anyone test this game with SNEEK/UNEEK?

Tried it already in SNEEK/UNEEK, exactly the same thing happens there...just to make sure, i will try another rip...

Update: nope, still blackscreen, tried it with SNEEK/UNEEK again and CFG with only IOS reload block on and with Mighty Loader v16. The rip should be OK now..

ok i just tried that game [the-amazing-race [SAGE41] and works ok for me

my settings

Console NTSC 4.1

cgf 69b2-222

runing the game with ''cIOS D2X v6 beta1 slot249 ios base56''

hdd on fat32

But if you have D2X v6 beta 1 in slot 249, then run Amazing Race with cfg 222 (which I assume means it uses whatever IOS you have in slot 222, usually Hermes), I don't see how...

Maybe I don't understand something.

@Hielkenator

No, d2x v6 beta1 has the same ehci module included in d2x v4.
The fixed ehci module will be included in the upcoming d2x v6 final.

Sorry for the mix up, I meant The game Flatout was fixed.

I have modified d2x cIOS Installer 1.2 to add the 2 Korean Key Support patches to base 56, and then tested it, and it worked.

Can I have source in order to see where and what are the korean patches

If damysteryman has not yet given you the source then you can find how to do it in WiiMod 2.6.
WiiMod applies the same patch described by damysteryman here.
Sources are included in the zip file. Just search for the string "korean".

After updating the installer with the korean key patch please contact airline38 and let him test it on his korean wii.

 

[Fox888]

so The Amazing Race is not playable from a USB LOADER (i will not use Hermes versions of a usbloader) or ?

 

[davebaol]

d2x v6 final has been released, see the 1st post.

@TheRealVisitor:
Thanks for re-testing. I also retested with "IOS block reload" enabled and can confirm that all problems were fixed. But reloading that way needs a bit time. I suppose this is because of writing to the nand before. But it's better to have a slower working function than a non-working function.

@davebaol:
You said before reloading the ios some settings are written to the nand - per game. And each game requires some blocks. Will the data be deleted after reloading the ios? And thanks for v6 final! d2x is awesome!

Depending on the HDD, usb init process can be much slower than dvd init process.
Usually writing reload info to the nand is not time consuming, unless you have a highly fragmented HDD.

EDIT:
Also, ios reload is quite slow by nature even for original DVDs.
Just compare reset time for the original Wii Sports Resort (ios reload not forced) and Wii Party (ios reload forced).

Of course.

All the guys mentioned in the kudos have done their part to make this possible.
I just hope I have not left out anyone.

PS, is there a way to FULLY play Smash Bros. Brawl from usb ( playing master pieces etc. ) ?

Shouldn't this now be possible with the IOS-Reload Block? Didn't test it, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't...

EDIT: Ok, doesn't seem to work, you're right. But it isn't a useful extra eitherway
