Is it possible to set an IOS to use by default? i.e. at the moment all my games default to loading IOS249 but this has the problem where you have to reset the WII to load a 2nd game. I'd like to use either IOS222 or 223 by default. I can configure per game but was wondering whether there was an global default available.

Cheers

Hi oggzee,


Again thanks for your work on the best loader in my opinion.

A little feedback : Red Steel alt dol method still doesn't work (cfg32b). In fact, alt dol is not even loaded : the game boots too fast and it sticks on Nintendo logo (whtich I guess is stored in the main dol).
Maybe it's because of the lenght of the file (more than 7Mo) ?

Metal Slug6 and Fate of Atlantis Alt. dol work like a charm.

I saw that wiipower supports this thread, maybe he can help you with this compatibility issue ?

Yes, just put this:

ios=222-mload

to your config.txt

Hmm, maybe it just doesn't find it, did you name the dol properly? - Just 4 letters, not 6.

If there was an error loading the dol one of these messages should be printed:

Not Found.
Out of memory
Error reading .dol
ERROR: Invalid .dol!

If it's ok, this is printed:
Load OK!

Are any of these messages displayed?

I'm trying to run my Sam&Max Backup.
So i have v32b installed. I extracted the main.dol from my ISO using wiiscrubber 1.4.
I renamed it to R3XP.dol and put it in my usbloader folder.
In the settingsscreen i activated 223-mload or 222-mload, IOS-Reload and alternative dol loading.
When i start the game i get an out of memory error when loading the alt-dol and the game gets a blackscreen after loading the specific season.

Please test the 002 fix option with the games that require it and let me know how it works.
See: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123307
Problem category 2 („002b“ games)


hi oggzee.
i just tested it with indy and it works! im using rev9 on a 3.2E. i also tested alternative dol load with house of the dead 2 and that works too. great job!! this loader has made any other loader obsolete for me now. keep up the good work :-)

@everyone else reporting that sam and max doesnt work. i think in the url oggzee posted it is said that sam and max doesnt work with alt dol yet i think

EDIT : sorry it was displaying too fast.
The message is "OUT OF MEMORY".

But it loads too quickly (with metal slug and indy it takes a few seconds).

Ok, cool I'll get that resolved!

Using v32b2
The alt-dol from Sam&Max loads with the message "Load Ok" but i still get a blackscreen after selecting a season.

What alternative .dol are you loading?

I question that too...When i searched the disc there was no alt dol on it.

Maybe i missunderstood something. I extraceted the main.dol from the Data partition. But even with just the IOS Reload Block it does not work.
Which settings do you use to run it.

Thanks everyone for all the testing reports!
It is vital for the development, since I don't have all these games to test!

So, all seems to work fine now?
If so I can make the 32b2 be the 32 release, and make the complete package.

btw, I'm sorry there is still no "favorite games" option, but I just wanted to take care game compatibility first!
I'll add the favorites in next release.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
