Hacking Homebrew Channel Beta 9 SDHC support....

[Arm the Homeless]

I successfully compiled it by reverting:

Makefile
gccore.h
system.c

to the previous revisions

I don't know what wiilaunch is, never heard of it but it doesnt sound "libogc-like" at all

Care to upload the previous versions of them?

they are on CVS

But the Makefile hasn't been changed for 11 days. I don't think reverting that will do much.

Will SDHC load faster? What is the largest SDHC out there?

depends but 16 & 32gb

What is "class 6"? Should I avoid buying one that says that?

Unsure, best off searching, but there's obviously going to be reliable and unreliable SDHC cards out there, don't think anyone's tried any High Capacity cards yet????????

 

[skedone]

no 64 and 128 gig sdhc are now out

Blimy, i thought 32gig was max, surely the wii wont handle over 16gb ?? i would like to know, please someone try some HC Cards in your wii...

Searching as well here. Class 6 has to do with speed. SDHC class 6 is much faster than SDHC.

I've got my eye on a Patriot 16GB SDHC class 6 over at newegg for $40. Hopefully someone comes up with the answers we seek soon.

class 6 cards are the BEST they run at: 6 Mb/s or more

I know, no one has mentioned if they have tried any, i have 3 SD cards and there all 2gig

shame i wouldn't of minded seeing if they work

Could you imagine if Nintendo eventually let you play VC games from SD card, im pretty sure allot of you piracy boys n girls would be .... over the moon, you could have more of your n64s on there, wonder if they will alter the menu somehow so there is more pages, etc.

marcan's patches (which added this wiilaunch thing and some other thing) ARE from 11 days
trust me, reverting those files get you ride of these "no wiilaunch.h" errors and if you only want the SDHC patch, you don't need those

Links to retailers?

I don't think these are actually out yet. SanDisk has a timetable of 2009 for 64GB & 2011 for 128GB

EDIT: nvm what I'm reading was for microSD


EDIT2: Wait...guys. Don't we need our stuff formatted FAT16? The only way you can keep the partition larger than 2GB is FAT32

Youre set to go, theres only ftppi 0.15 and the homebrew channel itself that supports SDHC, its a waiting game for developers to alter there apps now

But since you have it, pop it in and check to see if it shows your apps up

and report back hehe

Only 32gb SDHC are out at the moment, 64+ will be out soon, they're pretty expensive as well.

 

[DaMummy]

ok will do, ill check for hbc, vc, wiiware

 

[DaMummy]

ok results are in, sdhc indeed does work, but as predicted with only hbc, the wii menu doesnt support it, i cant see any files when accessing the data management, says card isnt supported(hopefully hackmii will work for this issue) but i was able to load the dol apps off homebrew with the apps in my sdhc card, so yet its only a firmware problem, that all homebrew should support sometime soon, so expect a whole lotta updates in the next upcommin days, even tho weve had crazy amount of updates lately

 

[djdynamite123]

but i was able to load the dol apps off homebrew with the apps in my sdhc card

Do me a favour, try an emu like snes9x, see what error or anything you get when opening file from SDHC, because none of these emus have SDHC support yet, Tantric told me you should receive an error or something. have a look..

 

[DaMummy]

gimme a link to download the file....also a link to download the dol version of wad manager, wad installer/uninstaller, and any other app anybody wants me to try

Go on link to all apps etc....
Download the wad manager 1.21 in utilities and download snes9x in emulators

 

[DaMummy]

no luck, snesx doesnt have sdhc support, it can only read from sd card, the program loads for me though from sdhc card but when i try to go into a loading game menu, it says no sd card found or whatever, tho if you had your games on usb or dvd, im sure it would work

 

[djdynamite123]

i know that i was just wanting to hear about the error etc.
