Hacking Gecko OS wont launch - f/w 3.3e

[dabbler]

I have a very strange problem.

Im running system version 3.3e and Gecko OS (1.06) did launch via Home Brew Channel beta 8. All was working perfectly.

Now I wanted to access the shop channel, but remain with my config and versions above so I installed the HBC friendly versions of the Wii Shop and IOS51 installer. While I was at it, i also updated the HBC to beta 9 and Gecko OS to 1.07b.

I can now access the shop channel, but when launching Gecko OS "This is not a valid wii application" is displayed. Other apps installed work such as the WAD Installer etc. I have re-downloaded Gecko OS but no luck.

I am so confused. What could be the cause of this? I have tried a newly formated SD card - incase the files were correupt, but still get the same message.

Please help me!

Many thanks indvance.

Gecko OS is a elf file.
Homebrew Channel 0.9 only supports DOL files.
I found this on the Gecko OS message board: http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php?PHPS...mp;topic=1598.0

The homebrew channel beta9 supports elf files. The problem is most currently released elf files are malformed (not actually elf files)

Should I go back to the old homebrew channel (beta 8) ? Is that my problem?

No, get the fixed version of geckoos.
