Can somebody please test something for me? What you need:
cIOS222 v3 installed
Guitar Hero Guitar
Rock Band 2 iso on your WBFS drive
I seem to be having an issue with this game that I just cannot track down. While playing the game in USBLoaderCFG (latest v40-222), I can play a few songs (two or so) just fine, but when I get to the third or fourth song, I get this nasty 3-second freeze/stutter right in the middle of playing.
I tested the game the other day in Uloader, and I did not experience this...but maybe I just didn't play it there enough. I can re-create it each and every time I play it with CFG and cIOS222 v3. I tried multiple ways of installing (default, 37 merge 36, 38 merge 36) to no avail. I can play it flawlessly with rev14, so it boils down to either an issue with the cios (more likely) or an issue with how CFG is using it.
Either way, can someone else with the resources (even if you do not have a guitar hero guitar) test it out and let me know if they experience something to this effect? Remember, you have to play through a few songs before it happens. Thanks for any help!
I have the GH3 wireless guitar and RB2 on my WBFS drive, I however do not have 222/223 installed at all. My guess is that it is either the 222/223 causing the problem or that you probably have a Western Digital HDD that is spinning down while you are playing. I rarely get the freezing problem on my Seagate 1.5 TB drive. Not sure how much this helps, but it's about all I can do for ya! Good luck!
Nah, I have a Verbatim 1TB, a Seagate 1TB, and a Samsung 500GB in an enclosure. The only drive that has sleep function is the Seagate, and I turned that off a long time ago. I performed even more tests today:
Tested Rock Band 2 in Uloader for an hour (cios222 v3, default install), no lockups or freezes at all
Tested Rock Band 2 once again in CFG (cios 222 v3, default install), same freeze for a few secs glitch after 4 or 5 songs
Tested Rock Band 2 in CFG (cios 222 v2, default install), NO freezing
Well, looks like v3 in CFG causes a problem here. I don't even want to get into GH: Metallica, which has completely different results...such as complete freeze in Uloader and skipping sound in CFG (using cios v2 & 3)
I just don't know what to think. cIOSrev14 does not exhibit issues on ANY of these games at all. I played them for hours each with this cIOS. So, something is up...somewhere...with Hermes cIOS and the guitar games. I just find it hard to swallow as these cIOS's are supposed to be tailored for these games with usb peripheral functions and so on.
Any other ideas? Surely I am not the only person that has experienced this with Hermes cIOS.
EDIT:
I tested cIOSrev10 tonight on the drive, and I experience the same types of issues. I am assuming that because Hermes cIOS's (v2 and v3) are both loosely based off of rev10, there is something to do with it that does not like my 1TB drives. I used to run rev10 with the 500GB without issues, but by the time I purchased the 1TB drives I was already on rev13a. In other words, I never saw how rev10 would function on these. Bottom line is that I can only use rev13+ on the 1TB drives without any issues. Oh well...as long as it works.
