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

[FIX94]

Hey guys, can someone try to dump a game to NTFS using 249 d2x v6 beta 1? I want to know if it's only broken for me.

I think you are right, i cannot either..

It seems to be broken since v4 beta 1, if you are trying it v3 or older it should work.

Please test v4beta1 with replaced ehci from v3

First, thanks to all for the amazing work!
But i have a little Problem:
Tom Clancys H.A.W.X 2 (PAL - RTAP41 - MULTI5) displays a black screen, if i select the game language english.
With default language the game starts without problems from hdd!

My Wii is on 4.3E (GERMAN Systemlangugage) with cIOS-d2x-v6beta1 248[37], 249[56], 250[57], 251[58] & Hermes cIOS 222[38], 223[37] and 224[57].
The HDD is a Samsung S2 with 640 GB in FAT32 with wbfs-Files.

I have tried all possible settings with the latest up to date USB Loaders (CFG, GX and WiiFlow), but no success!

It is a cIOS or USB Loader problem?

Hope someone can help me?
Thank you very much!

Okay, the same problem with Sorg's EmuNand/UniiLoader!

I have the game dumped with RAWDump 2.00 (CRC32: D282A018, MD5:3AD6E9BCE35E03091AC17924074A49CD, SHA1:1272E0C7F6B016509209BCB26415B1501C99DDAA)
The same values ??as WiiTDB! What's wrong???

What about a cIOS installer for v5 and v6 beta?

dragbe maintain the cIOS Installer, so no one but him will know when it will be updated. He was pretty quick to support v4 final, so I'm guessing he'll be quick this time around also.

Well, actually the D2x cIOS Installer is really simple to update but it takes time because we have to "map" (mean the cIOS by hand since we havn't create a simple .exe to make it automatically.
If you want to do it, you can compare decrypted content of IOS bases to unpacked cIOS wad and write the patches

then complete de ciosmaps.xml file and add the news d2x modules

I'm no dev really, but like you said, it was easy to make the changes. I did so myself after taking a look at the ciosmaps.xml and making the appropriate other changes in patchmii_core.c. I left v3 and v4 in, in case any one would have any reason to do so. I tested it on my own Wii, and it appears to work fine (cIOSes load and run fine too). If anyone wants to try (and I don't blame you if you don't trust me, me being a 1 post newb and all

) I have a link below, my changes are included in the source in the package. The boot.dol has both v5 final and v6 beta 1. I don't know what dragbe would want to call this, but I just took the logical step and called it v1.2. My name is nowhere on this, either, this was pretty simple stuff and I don't want to take credit for it. I just want to be helpful.

Actually, you have made mistakes with patchs because you copy/paste base map from v3 for v5 & v6 whereas the content 00000000.app is not the same because of the new cIOS identification method

EDIT: I prepare the new sources if you want to compile them after

It seems FIX94 took of, so here are my test results.

Yep, that worked...

If you want, i can also test a v4 beta 1 without EHCI from v3.

Maybe there is no english on the image you have.

I wrote with davebaol in IRC, sorry

The EHCI module from v3 fixes it, newer modules will give this error.

When I looked at various patches between v3 and v4, they were identical. I don't know how the new identification method works, nor was I aware of it; my aim was just to get v5 and v6 modules in.

I recommend you check your dumps. MPT works perfectly here with base 56. Just like the retail game.

Actually, everything is identical except the content 0000000.app wich is different between base and between version of cIOS

No, it's multilingual like Super Mario Galaxy ...! I changed my sytemlanguage to english and it boots in cfg without without problems.
The game freeze if the loader change the gamelanguage.

All USB Loaders can load H.A.W.X 2 only with default lanuage!!!
Hope that issue can be fixed???

Ah makes sense. Well in the interest of learning I guess, how does that get patched?

working with version 6 and block ios reload on

ashley cricket (no additional savefile needed now)
sims 3 multiplayer
mysims collection
raving rabbits party collection

i had some stack dumps or dsi errors but that was becauses some lines in my conf.txt for cfgloader

 

[TheLiNkMan]

I've installed d2x v6beta1 via Modmii and MMM, currently i'm using CFG USB Loader 69a6, it's working perfectly but in IOS info, it doesn't show the base IOS :S

something like this

IOS249 Base: ?? (r21006)
IOS250 Base: ?? (r21006)

when i installed d2x v4 using dragbe's official installer, it displays base ios correctly. What should i do ? :S

Sorry for my bad English :S

------------

BTW.

Metal Slug Anthology doesn't need alt.dol anymore to load Meta Slug 6 (when 'block ios reload' is enabled).
Great!

You will need to wait until oggzee adds the new way to idenity the cIOS or someone adds the needed hashes (I'll may do it later).

 

[davebaol]

@TheLiNkMan
cfg loader doesn't use yet the new cios identification method and the hash codes for the old method are missing.
So it can't recognize the cios base.
It will be fixed in some next release, I guess.

And alt.dols are no more required when ios reload block is enabled.

 

[oggzee]

I'll make the change if it will benefit apps other than pimpmywii. So if a dev of a useful app requests it, then I'll do it. I have a feeling someone will eventually request it, but I'd like to hear oggzee's thoughts before proceeding. So yea, I'll say it one last time, I'm not the person you need to convince, I've already said I'll support it if oggzee or someone in his league thinks it will be useful\helpful.

i guess you really want to hear my opinion

Well, i have no real need for old cios to carry this new info. But if you decide to tag also old cios with it I don't mind.
cfg doesn't even support that yet, but it will soon.
one side effect is that it breaks the current detection by hash, but ok this would only happen if you have an old cfg with the new cios... not actually old cfg since it's not even supported yet so even current cfg will no longer identify some of the cios if suddenly all have different hashes... that's why i think we're not in a hurry to suddenly go tagging all old cioses, but maybe in future why not, but i think the loaders need to be updated first.
