When I install CIOS222 and then go to usb loader gx and set the the global IOS to CIOS 222 I get a black screen. Everybody else can get this to work. I installed the V4 of Hermes CIOS!! Are there prerequisites to installing the CIOS. Also I may not have installed it right. Can somebody please give me a step by step on what options to pick on the install.

I checked a guide I installed everything properly,. It still freezes. Maybe my Wii does not like CIOS 222 or 223. How can I fix this?? Should I do IOS downgraer b4 the install. OR WHAT!!!!

you should reinstall and make sure that there are no gamecube memcards/controllers plugged in.

when using 222 in gx, set it globally, not just for the game you're using it for. it has better compatibility than 249 so there should not be an issue there. just make sure to set your global 002fix to ANTI (and delete your gxgamesettings.cfg file from the config folder on your SD/USB to make sure the settings apply correctly globally)

When changing your global boot, you have to restart the loader after making the change in order for it to take effect.

I just downgraded my IOS and then installed and it didn't work. Whenever I try to use CIOS 222 or 223 my Wii disc light will flash blue and I will always see a black screen.

Download de EHCModule.elf en put this in the USB Loader GX folder on your SD Card. This did the job for me. For some reason the standard EHCModule in CIOS 222 did not work with my Harddisk. Now with the file in folder everything works like a charm including Guitar Hero 5.

CIOS 249 Rev 14
CIOS 222 IOS38 merged with IOS37
CIOS 223 IOS38 merged with IOS60

System 4.2E

The game does not freeze when loaded, whenevre I set th eglobal CIOS to 222 and restart the Loader. I cannot see the USBLOADER GX stuff, all I see is a black screen and flashing wii disc light. When I do set IOS 222 for the game, when it loads I get a black screen and flashing disc slot. I do have block IOS reload on when using 222 on a game.

I tried using the ECHModule.elf from Ulosder 3.0 B and it did not wotk, I still got a black screen and flashing Wii Disc slot.

You should probably check the ULoader archive you got the installer from.

I had a softmodded 3.4 Wii which worked perfectly fine. Updated to 4.2 (stupid, I know, long story

) and softmodded again => black screens

Thanks to http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=162...p;#entry2066628 I found the problem, it's my usb-disk, because it works great with a usb-stick

Apparently the newer ©IOSes are compatible with less devices or something

Mplayer-ce has a tool for testing your usb-device:
http://mplayer-ce.googlecode.com/files/USB%20Test.rar
I'm going to test my disk with this and see what it says...

You can find the ehcmodule.elf here also: http://mplayer-ce.googlecode.com/svn-histo...a/ehcmodule.elf
But apparently it doesn't solve the problem?

Download pimpmywii program and get it to test and fix/update all ur ios files for you so you know none are broken. I had massive problems playing alot of backups but this fixed them all.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • 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.
