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

[NutNut]

NutNut ... get IOS from NAND (yeah I know it's harder than it sounds)

I do not think it's worth.
Most nands would have the wrong version of the ios.

Daveboal is right !

So I was following this tutorial ( http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-g...are-sd-usb.html ) and I installed cIOS d2x 1.1 (which was linked in the tutorial) and since then my Wii has been giving me all kinds of trouble. I want to be able to use my USB loader GX and Config. USB loader. Both of the applications load, and recognize the hard drive, but as soon as you try to load any games, the screen goes black. The wii remote remains on (on some occasions), but there is nothing else. No sound, no video. On a couple of occasions, after about 20 seconds I get the 'An error has occurred...' message. I need to fix this. Thanks in advance for the help

@iwantcs5
Install cios d2x v6 and update your usb loader.

 

[iwantcs5]

Okay, So I followed this guide: ( http://www.wiihacks.com/other-faq-guides-t...tion-guide.html ) and installed V6 using base 57 to slot 250 and checked the loader to see if there were any updates available, and there were not. So I tried to load a game (the previous 'Game IOS' was set to 249) And same result. Black screen. Then I restarted the Wii, changed the Game IOS to 250 (thinking that by installing d2x V6 in slot 250 that might be the solution) but same result, black screen. What now?

Hey NutNut, would it be possible to add the option to do a batch install? Being able to select the version, slot, and base ios for each one before selecting to install would be great.

the absence of this feature is probably the only advantage to installing the cIOSs WADs over using the cIOS installer. If this were added to the installer then even I might make the switch to using the installer... but probably not since it still won't be able to batch install titles that aren't cIOSs like the shopping channel or plain vanilla IOSs... but yea, point is I think adding this would make the installer even more competitive relative to WAD cIOS installations, and that is awesome. Good luck nutnut\dragbe!

+1 a batch installer where you can select which bases you want installed to which slots, shows a confirmation screen of your selection and then installs them all would be sweet!

You miss the basics.
Well you are misunderstanding something I think, no offence.
Best you first remod your Wii using Modmii. It's in the stickies.
Just follow the wizard and treat your Wii as if it were virgin.

Make sure the loader is compatible with d2x and that your HDD is too.

d2x v6 and cfg loader works for everybody and it will for you.

I think it's not usefull since we are already able to return to the cIOS choice screen after installation.

With batch installation,we'll win maybe 3 seconds but well, I'll talk to Dragbe.

feature to implement ideally in a universal cIOS installer. I will reopen the discussion about this in the topic http://gbatemp.net/t294549-cios-installer-future

I have an idea related to the cIOSs WADs installation

Lol he was here !

Hey NutNut, would it be possible to add the option to do a batch install? Being able to select the version, slot, and base ios for each one before selecting to install would be great.

Let me propose to NutNut a couple of two cents ideas (feel free to trash them).

The first idea is to add a simple install option in the d2x installer.
Now, we have:
1) a welcome and credits screen
2) a screen to select the ios (236 or 249)
3) a screen to select cios version, iosbase, slot
A new screen could be added between 2) and 3); where the following choices could be selected:
a) option1: latest cios installed with base56 in slot 249 and with base57 in slot 250
b) option2: latest cios installed with base56 in slot 246 and with base57 in slot 247
c) advanced options (that is the actual screen 3)
99% of the people will use a) or b), c) is for the rest of us...

The second idea is to use the meta tags in the file meta.xml for telling what to install and where.
Now we have the option "ios=236" to automatically load the installer with ios236. You could consider the opportunity of using "base56=xxx" for automatically install the latest cios with base56 in slot xxx and, analogously, "base57=yyy" for automatically install the latest cios with base57 in slot yyy.

These Are just two cents ideas, I hope they could be useful....

Yea but if someone wants to install 5 cIOSs, but have other things to do and are running to and from the Wii, they'd need to come back every 2 minutes to prepare another cIOS installation. If batch installations were supported then one could queue up all 5 (or more) installations and return in 10 minutes (or even the next day) and still see a report of the installation(s) success\failure.

Anyways, I don't mean to push the idea on you, if you don't feel its worth adding its your call!

@Davebaol: Here is our new To Do List

any others suggestions ?
- Add partial support for HW_AHBPROT functionality.

How about to include in the d2x installer the feature of installing IOS236? when HW_AHBPROT will be available you could use the code from IOS236 installer v5 mod....

With this feature your installer will be self contained, and will need of HBC only... your installer will be the only need for doing a softmod, after HBC of course....

You could have a starting check of the kind:
if IOS236 is installed just use it for the install process, otherwise install it with HW_AHBPROT and reload IOS236 in order to proceed with the install process.....

Just one more two cent idea... thanks a lot for your awesome developing....

Yes yes, we have already thought about this and we plan to do it one day but for the Universal cIOS Installer project, not for d2x cIOS Installer.
We will see how this project evolves and offer ours ideas. If it takes time, it is easy to modify the d2x cIOS Installer in the Universal Installer

Okay, So i'll go ahead and remod the wii, What do you suggest I use as the install settings for d2x v 6? Should I stick with base 57 and slot 250? Or should I do something else. I would really like to keep using USB Loader GX. Its the easiest to use for my wife. The whole reason I did this in the first place was to get mighty channels working. Thanks

EDIT: I think that the install settings are already set by modmii.

So in order to get my Rock Band instruments working for Beatles Rock Band(disc not usb) for Neogamma, would I do the steps like this?

- Insert the SD or USB in the Wii
- Load the HBC and load the d2x installer
- Select IOS36 or 236 or 249 to use during the installation
- Select cIOS to install i.e
- Select base IOS i.e
- Select cIOS slot i.e
- Press A to install

EDIT: Nevermind.

Still no success. I installed the modmii package, followed all of the directions, and the USB loading with cfg is still not working. I seriously don't know what to do from here.

Wow!, i havent bothered updating for a while, was still on 249rev17 (was mostly using hermes 222 for games).
This cIOS has fixed a lot of annoying stuff for me.
I havent read the whole thread, so im sure it's been mentioned, but my Mighty Channels games ALL work now (Lost Winds, Strong Bad, Monkey Island) =D
Also, SamNMax 1 and 2, Metal Slug, House of the Dead 2/3 are working as they were meant to now...havent tried MPT yet.
Thanks davebaol and everyone involved with the D2x development.
