Hacking NeoGamma R8 beta test

[WiiPower]

The DOL works. Buffer strap screen, textures, music, etc are all working.

Thanks, the next version will shutdown the sd card before booting games then.

OFFTOPIC:

QUOTE(Sabin_Figaro @ Feb 18 2010, 03:13 AM) Hey WiiPower:

I tried to softmod a friend's wii, it has a modchip (But I don't know which) and whenever i try to run neogamma R8 RC3 any game (Resident Darkside, Smash Bros RIP, NMH2) from DVD-R it gives this error: DVD read error (1264)

Smash Bros works on Disc Channel.

IOS249 Rev 17 is installed.

Any suggestions?

Just a reminder about this case. Stuff works flawlessly on Softchiip and IOS222v4. So, guess Wanin's break some no name modchip.

Thx WiiPower for the suggestion (Never tried softchiip myself, it's not a very well advertised loader)

Ok, a read error using the cIOS with that modchip is a bit unusal, until now i only knew about 001 erros with cIOSrev14+. If your friend wants to use NeoGamma, i recommend trying other cIOS revisions, maybe 13a.

cIOSX rev18 was release about 3 hours ago... w8ing for a RC to work with that version ^^

Hope it gets a FAT support since rev18 is better at it ^^

Patience guys, let WiiPower access what he needs to do and let him get it done.

I wouldn't recommend upgrading to rev 18 yet until a fully compatible NeoGamma build is out (assuming there's going to be a compatible version).

 

[WiiPower]

There seem to be issues with the cIOS. I'll wait until the disk is cleared and we know if it's the cIOS fault, or the apps need updates. I won't help with that, i'm busy with the new NeoGamma version.

@wiipower
I am getting these errors when try to compile it. Any idea what may be? TY

 

[WiiPower]

Try removing the line from storage.c

Try removing the line from storage.c

Thank you.

Did you make an autoboot mod for the dol as looked at the source and the main.c and apploader.c they were about the same as x-flak's autoboot mod

 

[XFlak]

the autoboot code is wiipower's, but he keeps it disabled (commented in the source) in his official releases... i just make a few small changes to make it autoboot and also launch silently

 

[longtom1]

I was looking at the source for both rc3 autoboot and rc3* and the autoboot sections in main.c are identical no commented out parts

Please, how recommends you install the rev18 for better compatibility with NeoGamma and games? ios 37, ios 38, ios 57, ios 60 or ios 70?

 

[FenrirWolf]

The installer came with this nifty file called a "readme." It tells you to go with 57 unless you have some reason to use something else.

 

[Oops]

yes, I read that but I wanted the opinion/confimation of wiipower

I just downloaded the RC3* source and confirmed that the autoboot code is in fact commented/disabled... so i think u may be havign some difficulty distinguishing between what's a comment and what's not

in programmers notepad the comments will be highlighted green, if u r using a different program to view the code then just look for /* and */ (these mark the start and finish of a comment, it can work on multiple lines of code)... or just a double // marks that SINGLE line as a comment

I've looked at the source you provided with your autoboot mods and all the autoboot commands are commented out on your autoboot source then

 

[XFlak]

i believe u are mistaken, i just downloaded my auto mod source to make sure i didn't accidentally upload the wrong source with it, but it was done correctly.

Here's an excerpt from the automod code, and u can see that the code is not commented out (albeit there are still some comments, but the actual automod code itself not commented)

Spoiler

CODEÂÂÂÂ// Autoboot code part 1
ÂÂÂÂtime_t t;
ÂÂÂÂt = time(NULL) + 1; // Wait 1 to finish wpad init process
ÂÂÂÂwhile (time(NULL) < t);

ÂÂÂÂ//DrawBackground(rmode); // Show banner
ÂÂÂÂVIDEO_WaitVSync();
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂ// Autoboot code part 2
ÂÂÂÂt = time(NULL) + 3; // Wait 3 seconds for button press to cancel autoboot
ÂÂÂÂbool autoboot = true;

ÂÂÂÂwhile (time(NULL) < t)
ÂÂÂÂ{
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂWPAD_ScanPads();
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂPAD_ScanPads();

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif (WPAD_ButtonsDown(0) || PAD_ButtonsDown(0))
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ{
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂautoboot = false;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂbreak;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂ}

 

[longtom1]

sorry my mistake must have been looking at rc3 and rc3s main.c got that many sources

 

[XFlak]

no prob!

posted by Waninkono on twitter:
"For WAD Manager I recommed to use cIOS with IOS38 base (security issues)."

I don't think it's a correct info says that 57 was the best choice.

Finally If you need it I can offer a camomile tea to you

Bye bye
