Hacking Need help from wii coders

[WiiPower]

Does anybody know how to access usb storage devices after a IOS_ReloadIOS? Or does anybody have an idea about this?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code excerpt:

fatInitDefault();

[...]

(sd + usb working fine)

[...]

fatUnmount("sd");
fatUnmount("usb");

// Deinit sd card, without this sd card doesn't work after the ios reloading
sdio_Startup(); // maybe this is not necessary
sdio_Deinitialize();

IOS_ReloadIOS(x);

fatInitDefault();

[...]

(sd working fine, usb NOT working)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess i need some kind of usb storage deinitialize which is similar to sdio_Deinitialize for sd card. I searched the source of libogc and libfat for this, but everything i tried didn't work.


PS: If there's no way to solve this problem, i wouldn't be surprised that this the reason why the homebrew channel doesn't have usb support

Ask in #WiiDev on EFNET

Ask in #WiiDev on EFNET

I heard from too many people being banned there in the minute they asked a question. I hope there are other developers capable to solve this.

I will toss this out at #wiidev... they booted me once already... but what the hell it never hurts to ask Wiipower and your contributions are valued to me.

So I will post my attempts about asking on #wiidev soon...wish me luck!

as long as you don´t ask very stupid questions or ask about backups/warez they won´t ban you afaik.

Pfffff they don't even let me in...!!!

Well it's for SoftChip, and SoftChip is considered "piracy loader", which is sadly not untrue.

PS: Only usb for config not backup loading!

People are saying it is possible. One mentioned something about a hidden SEEPROM flag... don
t wanna even know what that meant!

Another was already hot on my tail... and knew that I was fishing... so the answer was definately being possible. Now we're back to square one...sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If it is for SoftChip, ask in the SoftChip IRC channel (irc://chat.freenode.net/SoftChip). When I had a problem making a version that doesn't use a configuration file, someone helped me figure it out fairly quickly (although it was a really stupid mistake).

Thank you. I count this as confirmation that usb is more complicated than sd where you just need the correct command.

I'm nearly always (when i'm online) there. Some time ago luccax and i tried everything which came into our minds to solve this.
