Hacking Coding vWii 3-core support - everything you need to know.

[ÐeltaResero]

Enabling SMP in the kernel disables EMBEDDED6XX and therefore disables GAMCUBE_COMMON that will disable all GameCube/Wii/vWii support in the kconfigs. So if I understand correctly, than you did account for this, re-enabled the hardware support (such as MMC_SDHCI_OF_HLWD), and then edited the wii.dts file by adding the extra CPU information into there (and changed the core total). If you compiled it with Maxternal's patches in gbadev, specifically using the last patch: "add code to wrapper to the wrapper to kickstart the other two cores", how did you get it to compile? I though there would be an error such as "Error: unsupported relocation against $947" (same with $0x0060).

I had not noticed that EMBEDDED6XX was dependent on BROKEN_ON_SMP . I greatly appreciate this tip. Since then I removed this dependency and my image compiled fine. (This is using your 3.10y repo).

Here's another boot.dol file that should do a little bit better job of sending the cores to Linux

bravest if you wanted I could always add you to the googlecode page to keep all the work in one place (even if you preferred to have it in a separate branch.)
If you're interested I'd just need you to PM me your email address

Are we actually close to getting this to work?

Where are we as far as running Linux on vWii Mode?

You can run, but no 3core yet.

I'm pretty sure they'll make a big deal about it once 3 core happens. Like a new thread kind of big deal.

Nah, probably won't even mention it.

+1, but knowing Max's kindheartedness, I'm sure he would.

It would have been a big deal if team f0f would release the Wiiu exploit when 3 core vwii linux was working.
They clearly stated they won't do it....
So basically, it will only prove that Maxternal learned a lot or that finally some people with ppc multicore linux kernel knowledge showed interest.

Bumping this for all of the threadgoers right now saying Merry Christmas!

 

[Kargaroc]

Well this is gonna be fun...

 

[the_randomizer]

Nothing new came out of this as expected, so no need to get our hopes up.

Uh....that was odd. What was that shit?

At least use a GIF that spells "you're" correctly.

as you are a person who deletes every other thing you say, please refrain from giving posting advice to others...i get it, you are as passionate as you are insipid, but have the fucking balls to stand by what you say on here.

also, on a personal note, redact doesn't mean what you think it means.

Your != You're

I think that was kind of the point of the gif........
