Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[Dr. Clipper]

I just tried to install Red Steel 2 and nearing the end of the installation it gave a bunch of...

WARNING: read (############) error (-2)

10 lines of that total. Then it says 99.17% of 2.97GB etc etc.
Using 56b2 on a 4.0U Wii with a Wiikey v1

Is this normal or did I do something wrong?

EDIT: After using the ALT dol method to watch that Motion Plus movie, the game boots and seems to play fine. Just worried that those errors might come back to haunt me.

Cheers, and thanks in advance.

Have you changed the value of the install_partitions option in config.txt? Was this from a retail disc?

 

[matcon5]

I have not changed anything in the config.txt, and no it was not from a retail disc.

I was on 52b2 when I first tried to install it. Then I removed it, updated to 56b2 to see if the errors would go away, alas they did not.

I can seem to play the game fine, but like I mentioned.. not sure if something will go wrong later.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

It's because it's a burnt disc that is causing those errors. It could be related to somebody attempting to nerf the update partition, it could just be a bad burn or dump. Whatever the case, it's got nothing to do with Cfg. We only recommend use of original retail discs when installing games.

Thanks for the update. I've been using cfg loader for all my needs for months now and I'm loving it. I have almost no reason to load the system menu now a side from getting to the homebrew channel.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

I like the new intro.

and if u set home button to hbc u wont even need the system menu

 

[nikeymikey]

Even if you set the home button to hbc, you will still need the system menu at some point. Like when your wiis nand is full of save games and then you have to spend ages going through them all 1 by 1 and deleting some to make room. Oh how we wish for NAND emu for save games....................... Then we would never need the system menu!! All savgame deleting could be done on a PC in bulk!!! And your nand is only limited by the size of your SD card too!!!

That's quite a roundabout response to request NAND emulation

Still not gonna happen.

Hello.
I am new to cfg usb loader, but I really like it

Question: Is there a working forwarder for priiloader 0.3b ? Neither I get a stack dump or just a black screen.
The only one working is the forwarder_all.dol (found here ). But I dont want to choose everytime the correct path

I hope somebody can help me

 

[Taleweaver]

But I dont want to choose everytime the correct path

Erm...what do you mean by that? Baduncle's forwarder points to "SD:\apps\usbloader_cfg\boot.dol" (probably to "USB:\apps\usbloader_cfg\boot.dol" as well, but haven't tried it). If you just set it once, you don't need to worry about it anymore.


An alternative is looking for a beta version of the upcoming next version of priiloader (there's a link in this thread somewhere). Aside the use of magicword, it also works with Narolez's NForwarder.

 

[sylvio2000]

Ok. so I only have to choose once. Thats good

But now it is very strange. I have installed the forwarder_all.dol again but now it says it cant find a boot.dol in the folder fat:\apps\usbloader (1. option). But there is a boot.dol and I know that it worked some minutes ago.

edit:
It works

. The forwarder-sd_usb-apps-usbloader.dol works. I dont know whats wrong with the forwarder_all.dol

Baduncles forwarder used to work for me but then the folder name changed from usbloader_cfg to just USBloader, i only noticed the folder name change when the auto update of cfg kept failing, so i downloaded the latest .zip release and saw the name change. But then after i changed the folder name baduncles forwarder stopped working.

I now have priiloader .04 and am back on Narolez's NFowarder and all is good again.

When did the folder name change? and why?

can any one help pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!

 

[XFlak]

cios's that support instruments

cios249 or 250 rev19 merged with 37
cios223 or 224 rev5 merged with 37
cios223 rev4 merged with 37+38

 

[rablaird]

so all i should need to do is to revert my settings for these games to use ios 249?
as currently there set to mload 223 which worked before i updated to v 56 and rev19.
will give it a go and report back thanks for youre help.

 

[XFlak]

that doesn't make sense, updating the usbloader and updating cios249 should not affect your 223, u must've done something else to screw up 223 (assuming it was working in the first place)

u need to change ur settings to use 249, 250, 223 or 224 depending on which of the cios' u installed (see my last post for details)

This was the ehcmodule2 error, correct? That means you must be using hermes v2/v3, which is ancient and hasn't been supported for a long time now. Was the last time you updated Cfg several months ago?

Reinstall v4 of Hermes' IOSes and you should be good. Instructions here.
