Hacking Loadstructor

[cu_shane]

I don't see a Anti002 fix checkbox or Countrypatch box... and I am using the Loadstructor.exe from the 1.5 rar. Hmmm.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. I downloaded Loadstructor-1.5+cLoader-1.4 and extracted the entire archive into it's own folder. When I load Loadstructor.exe, which is in the root folder, it says Loadstructor...v1.4 at the top. This explains why I can't see any of the new options you added.

Is it possible that the wrong exe is packaged in the rar file?

wiiNinja, are there any steps I can take to troubleshoot this?

Is there something else I have to do to tell it to use 222?

I selected cLoader cIOS mload as the Loader to use. The channel created fine (I am making a channel for Wii Fit), but when I run it can't find the hard drive (ERROR: Could not initialize SD/USB subsystem! (ret = -6))). This indicates to me that it is using something other than cIOS 222.

I noticed in the loaders.ini file it has CIOSSelectSupport = 1 for this loader, but I don't see anywhere in the GUI to select it...

Have you install Hermes' 222 ?

Yes, and uLoader works fine for me.

From the GUI, if you don't see the cIOS selection pulldown, anti002-fix checkbox, and country_patch checkbox, then you're running the old version of Loadstructor. You need to unpack the rar file and use it as a whole, not just the cLoader_cios.dol and loaders.ini. The top of the GUI should indicate Loadstructor v1.5.

I cannot get to the GUI also ! What's wrong ?

Not sure. Just uploaded again. Please try download again: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ezz32ngzmdw/...cLoader-1.4.rar

Make sure that you're not using a shortcut from an older version.

Holy crap this is amazing! I assume it will work fine with RB2 then since it loads 223? Just want to clarify since I was never able to run RB2 through a homebrew loader.

Now I got the GUI.

One more question : Will I get to the option menu when holding B while starting the game ?

Thanks !

That fixed it for me as well.

Yeah this recent upload of 1.5 is totally a different edition than the one from the first post. Looks like it should work great, but I have not tested it yet. Thanks!

 

[cu_shane]

Ugh, it looks like everything is working correctly on the Loadstructor side, but the channel still won't start Wii Fit. Maybe I'll test it with another iso later to see if it has to do with Wii Fit or if it just won't work with my Hard Drive.

@TeenTin, for me holding the B button doesn't bring up a setting menu anymore.

 

[wiiNinja]

I've never used the "B" button for option. Let me check to see if it was there in the first place.

So far don't work:

I tried the same options as above, but have not tried any other options

RDCE78 Deadly Creatures 3.95G ---> Not working-Kicks back to SM
RSBE01 Super Smash Bros. Brawl 6.95G ---> won't work. Can't get .bnr correctly
RWSE8P Mario Sonic at the Olympics Games 2.11G ---> 222 No channel shown


I don't have RB2 so I cannot test this. WiiFit works with 222 and Anti002_fix.

 

[Linuks]

Super Mario Galaxy PAL is ok
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is ok too but I didn't use Loadstructor in order to make the wad.

EDIT : I have a question about options.
They are composed in hexadecimal like this : 01000000000 in the dol.

I know verbose output is off if the first caracter is 0 and is on if it's 1.
The bold caracters are always 1 and 0, we can't change them with Loadstructor.
But which options are those setting ? Is it related to old and new 002 Fix ?

I know it's not the anti-002 fix because it is located here : 00000000010

Ghostbusters channel on CIOS249 Rev 9 works great with this version of Loadstructor! So to get it to work I used: CIOS Rev 9, Loadstructor 1.5 with CLoader CIOS mload, Anti-002 fix checked, CIOS 249 selected, and Ghostbusters (or other 002 error game). No need to use CIOS 222 or even wait for CIOS Rev 14 - if you have the Anti-002 fix, you can play any game on any USB drive enabled CIOS without the reboot bug (needing to reboot in between games)! Awesome job on this mod of Loadstructor - it is now Freakin sweet!!!! THANKS!!!!

 

[wiiNinja]

This is from the C code:

Character 0: Verbose (0=OFF, 1=ON)
Character 1: Ignored
Character 2: Ignored
Character 3: Ocarina (0=OFF, 1=ON)
Character 4: Video Patch (0=None, 1=force to console, 2=Game's video mode, 3=Force PAL50, 4=Force PAL60, 5=Force NTSC)
Character 5: Language (0-9) Look at the GUI. Too long to list
Character 6: Storage Device (0=USB, 1=SD)
Character 7: VIDTV (0=OFF, 1=ON)
Character 8: cIOS (0=222, 1=223, 2=249)
Character 9: Anti220_fix (0=OFF, 1=ON)
Character 10: Country_Patch (0=OFF, 1=ON)

The rest I did not see used in the code.

Thank you, it is some time better to make a wad by ourself and those informations become important

I still can't get Wii Fit to work, with or without the Anti002_fix. I'm selecting cIOS 222. The channel never even accesses my hard drive -- it can't find it. I'm perplexed because uLoader 2.4 loads it right up.

Loadstructor wasn't able to load my wbfs partition when it was connected to my computer so I extracted the wii Fit ISO onto my desktop and have been using Loadstructor with it. That shouldn't cause any problem, correct?

On a side not, the test function in Loadstructor should work correctly even when using the new options, correct? Creating and installing a wad each time was a pain so I have started using the test function and just wanted to make sure that is okay.

The only thing that Loadstructor gets from an ISO, I believe, is the opening.bnr.
I didn't even look at that test function; I don't know if it works or not. Check your PM. I sent you a link to my WiiFit channel. If that doesn't work, I can only guess that it's the way we each install our cIOS222. Mine is IOS38 merged with IOS36.

you are the hero, buddy

works

my usb hdd is turned off just after installing the newly created wads, but the reboot makes all working like a charm

thanks

 

[justjack]

Ok so i created a Mario Kart channel with your cloader mod and chose Spanish language, installed it and the game plays fine but in english. I know this is a bug of the original cloader but... could you fix this plz? I would love you forever xD

Also when starting the channel, If you hold B to override settings it says "use the arrows to change settings" but there are no settings lol

I appreciate you working with me on this, but I think we may be out of things to try. The wad you sent me didn't work. I reinstalled cIOS 222 because I had it installed on IOS36 only -- still didn't work.

Here are the options that I chose when installing cIOS222, maybe you can tell me if I varied from your installation:

cIOS 222 installer v1.6 by Hermes

Selected IOS for install: 249 (this is the default, I don't really know what this setting does since you choose the IOS to install to later...)
Select custom IOS: Install Custom IOS 222
Select IOS Base: Use IOS 38 merged with IOS 36

Of course, I doubt any of that really matters since uLoader manages to work.

I'm guessing it just has something to do with my USB HDD controller...

 

[Zabu]

Working for me sort of.

Using my 500 GB Seagate FreeAgent, I have to turn on the hard drive after booting up the Wii or the channels just hang on the mounting of WBFS. I made the change to Hermes cIOS222 because in cofigurable USB Loader it sends a wake-up to the hard drive and is able to mount the drive every time with no problems. I assume cLoader has to be modified to do this as well if any of the experts would look into this.
