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

[Wiimm]

It's a problem of the standard libwbfs, that it ignores the second (and third+fourth) partition table when calculating the sectors to copy. If not copying 1:1 most data of the additionally partitions of table 2 are not copied.

btw: "wit verify" can test a image by calculating all checksums and comparing them with the stored sums.

Now that good info! So that's the reason why...
Thank you Wiimm!
Any change this can be fixed?
Would it also be nessicary for games like mariokart to make them 100% funtional? ( installing channel )
It's working with my 1:1 dump, but has to be split in two, resulting in bigger filesize (+/- 2 GB more space).
Is scrubbing for those particular games not recommended in order to make them funtion 100%?

Or am I mixing things up now....

So SSBB is really the only game, that needs to be dumped 1:1 when using a usb loader to dump the game?
Or to use Cleanrip to dump?

So mariokart should'nt give problems when being dumped in regards to added channel partition?
Or is the 3rd partition partially skipped, with current libwbfs?
This also explain why I could'nt copy my dump of SSBB between 2 HDD's using Wiibackup manager.
My dump must have been corrupted for as long as I have it on my HDD ( I dumped my original disc )

SSBB passes 100% now after ripping it with Cleanrip.
Cool info, thank you Wiimm!

 

[davebaol]

1st time I see a table of partition tables. LOL

WHAAATTT!!!! Never used wit?? Bad guy

No, I use it quite often.
But generally speaking I've never seen a table of partition tables.

EDIT:
Hmmmm... at a closer look it reminds me primary and logical partitions.

 

[kirbymaster101]

Dont know if it depends on the level but rev21d2x6[57] is slower than using rev20b[57] any reason why? BTW the game im talking about is Call of Duty: Black Ops.

 

[Wiimm]

The command "wit dump" was the first I implemented for wit. It helped me to understand the data structures of wii games.

 

[davebaol]

Dont know if it depends on the level but rev21d2x6[57] is slower than using rev20b[57] any reason why? BTW the game im talking about is Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Is just the cios the only difference?
Same Wii, same usb loader, same HDD, same file system, same all except the cios?

 

[Skater4599]

Dont know if it depends on the level but rev21d2x6[57] is slower than using rev20b[57] any reason why? BTW the game im talking about is Call of Duty: Black Ops.

I have the exact opposite of this, d2x is much faster (base 57) then rev20 or 21 ever were. Mine is exact same everything hdd/wii/setup/wiiflow everything. How are you measuring the speed exactly, how long it takes to load the level? I'm curious too cause in speed testing myself i noticed alot of things like for example i used SSBB and measured the "loading..." before, but i noticed if i loaded in twice in a row, no matter the cios/or file system etc. It loaded much faster than the first time. So my question too is, are you loading stuff in between to free the game from memory before trying the second cIOS?

 

[joeyx]

Hi, Modmii created alot of wad files in wad folder. Should i install them all?

 

[norbyte]

I think you should be careful and start with some tutorials. Anyway, installing cIOS249[56]...wad and cIOS250[57]...wad is recommended.

 

[Lacius]

Hi, Modmii created alot of wad files in wad folder. Should i install them all?

All of those are either slot 249 or slot 250, so only two of those can exist at a time on your Wii. If I were you, I would install 249[56] and 250[57].

 

[Covarr]

Those'll just conflict with each other. What you probably want is these two:

cIOS249[56]-v21d2x6.wad
cIOS250[57]-v21d2x6.wad

edit: Ninja'd... twice.

 

[joeyx]

Ok, thanks, i deleted the other files and kept only the two files you all recommended. Is there a chance to brick my wii while installing them? What would be the worst scenerio?

 

[Spongeroberto]

not much can go wrong. Those two slots aren't normally used by the wii. Worst I can think of is that you lose power while installing and that one of those two slots has a corrupted file... in which case you would just reinstall I suppose.

 

[joeyx]

Thanks, in my syscheck it says;

IOS249[57] (rev 19): Trucha Bug, NAND Access, USB 2.0

So it's used by the wii i guess. Should i install them anyway?

 

[IceIceBird]

Thanks, in my syscheck it says;

IOS249[57] (rev 19): Trucha Bug, NAND Access, USB 2.0

Yes, it will only replace that one with a newer one.

srry error on my part. when i was using ciosrev21[57] i was playing on a level with less enemies and bullets and terrain. with the d2x cios I played a level with alot more terrain and enemies so it only seemed to be mor elaggy.
To confirm is d2x faster than Waninkoko?

 

[mike333]

To confirm is d2x faster than Waninkoko?

Waninkoko was away from his cIOS for some time.
When he came back some real magic happened.
From now on d2x is best way to go.

Slowdowns in d2x? You need to prove that. The better description the faster fix will be made.

ps.
Maybe Hermes will join party someday.

Is DopMii a good way to check what cios u have or is there something better to use? In fact is there a program that works like Dop Mii but newer since Dop mii hasnt been updated since may 2010. Still I could understand why since Nintendo seems to have given up releasing new firmware and/or ioses.
