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

[Etheboss]

Hey guys is there any reason to update from v4beta2 to v4beta4?? I know v4beta3 was an update
that had addressed something with the disc loaders. I just like to keep up to date with the updates
when I can and was just wondering if it would be okay/recommended to update from v4beta2 to v4beta4. Any info on this would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch in advance and thanks to all involved
in modmii, mighty channels and cIOSX d2x.

Well, if you read the change logs above and think you can benefit from some changes, just try it, if it does not work, just go back to the one that does work for your setup.

Greetz,
Etheboss

Thank you for adding the 4k support for fat. It was great to see that one
little file that shows it works, even though no apps support it yet. If you
ever need me to do more testing I'd be happy to.

Now I'm just trying to get the loader coder interested

When you gonna make it work for NTFS? lol

Thanks again!

Mm, i might be mistaken, but NTFS support depends on the homebrew. For example, a few USB loaders now support NTFS AND can use this cIOS.

 

[davebaol]

Yes, you're right.
Also fat support depends on the homebrew.
AFAIK only Mighty Channels and Triiforce use fat support provided by the cios for nand emulation.

Hi, I've sugested to Marc, the developer of Mighty Channels, that he added some setting to select which USB port (1 or 2) is to be used by is app.
Is answers was:

# Marc
@FnF: Sorry, that depends on the cIOS. You can suggest it to davebaol, who's the creator of rev21d2x.

So, I'm suggesting to you, if possible, that your cIOS allow for that possibility.
Thx.

Actually, I think there would be a lot of demand to be able to use both ports (or either port). I've been asked many times how to get port1 to work in usb-loaders instead of port0, and I always refer them to cfg usb-loaders alternate module (saved to the external hard drive or SD card). The problem with this solution is that it only works with wbfs partitions. Anyways, I don't think this is a "must have" for a cIOS, but I'm sure many people would find it useful especially if alternate usb-port support was added for d2x cIOSs for the more common usb-loaders. The main ppl who'll benefit from these are those ppl with a fried port0.

Still no source? I think I've waited a reasonable amount of time. If you are not going to comply with the license, I'm going to have to request a takedown.

No offense dude but this is pretty lol...

He told you he would give you the source, I'm sure he does not want to have unfinished/buggy source out there. I'll leave all this to him but it seems he works quite a bit on this.

Getting it taken down will not only not get you the source, but you and everyone else will not be getting what is the best cIOS to date for the wii anymore, seems like a great trade! I'm curious what you need his source for anyway.

Don't get me wrong, the license does make it so he needs to provide source, and he should. But my point is that he is not making a stink about it or saying hes not going to give you source or even pulling drama/crap like saying hes not using anyone else's code or something silly like that. So I really don't understand why the threat. Could just ask again with no threat, hell maybe he just forgot since he's obviously been so busy coding...

The source for v3 final is available already, and currenly v4 is still in beta. Is it so out of line to let him release the source when he releases d2x v4 final? That seems fair to me... but then again I don't know nearly as much as the GPL police when it comes to beta's and sources and whatever so I'll defer to your expertise.

However, I'm pretty sure there's no rule requiring sources if davebaol was to conduct closed beta testing... so assuming dave doesn't want to have to bother releasing sources for every beta he wants tested, there should be nothing stopping him from removing the beta download links and instead telling ppl to email [email protected] for the download link (since that's how other gbatemp guides get around copyright issues). Can you confirm that this workaround is acceptable?

Omega, sorry if the above comments sound harsh. But davebaol is a friend of mine, and I don't respond well to threats. Don't take it personally.

@davebaol, I really don't want to see this project closed down. So to avoid that, plz make the sources for your beta's available (at least upon request) or consider implementing the closed beta testing solution I mentioned above. I'm sure nobody wants this project to be shut down (perhaps with a few notable exceptions), so plz take Omega's threat seriously. He's gotten other projects shut down before, and I'm sure he can do it again.

I know I'm late.
As promised about 1 month ago I'll release the source with v4 final. And it's almost done.
So please wait a few more days, let's say till the week end.
If you can't wait, no problem, do what you think is the right thing.

Will there ever be a legal way to attain this cIOS without using Modmii, I'm sure some people would like an alternative cIOS installer, or hack of Waninkoko's cIOS rev21 installer for example.

That sounds reasonable.

Here we go again. Same old shit. I know, why don't we piss off all the decent developers like sorg, daveboal and anyone else because of someone who's got their foot too far up their own ass??

Why do you care anyway? Is it harming you personally or your life? Are you losing money because you don't have the source? Is it your job to make sure all source code is published?

Live and let live and stop bitching about it.

Hello

d2x cIOS Installer v1

This is the official d2x cIOS Installer created by dragbe and was made with the full support of the d2x team. This homebrew runs on the Wii and is an alternative to ModMii to install the d2x cIOSs (especially helpful for peopel without Windows and are therefore unable to run ModMii).

For those who completely missed these new cIOSs, it is actually a modification of the Waninkoko's rev21 cIOSs in response to the problems faced by many users with his original cIOSs.

The d2x cIOSs offer better USB device compatibility, improves NAND emulation, eliminates lags found in some usb-loaders like WiiFlow, and more.

Features

• Allows to install the cIOS d2x v3 (rev21003) and v4-beta (rev21004).
• IOS bases supported: IOS37 v5662, v4123 IOS38, IOS53 v5662, v5662 IOS55, IOS56 v5661, IOS57 v5918, IOS58 v6175.
• Ability to choose the installation slot.
• Ability to peform online and offline installations.
• Support for Classic Controller (untested), Wiimotes and GameCube controllers.

Source Code Download Link
dragbe reluctantly released the current sourcecode of the d2x cIOS Installer, but if anyone is seriously looking to study the source they may be better off waiting until his next release when the code is optimized and cleaned up.
