Hacking NeoGamma R9 beta

[WiiPower]

It just says 0.1, it's WiiGator's latest cMIOS 0.2 with a new installer.

Greetings Wiipower:

One suggestion that I'm doing, why not install the changed cmios wiipower, install the latest MIOSv10?
The most stable MIOSv4, but many original games such as Metroid Prime Trilogy itself detects it and asks you to upgrade, could be done something about it?.
Greetings.

PD: Sorry by my English.

1. You may want to use priiloader and a skip update disc check hack
2. i already consider to update the cMIOS installer to allow installing the cMIOS as revision 65535 for exactly this purpose

Greetings Wiipower:

The Metroid Prime Trilogy is Disc Original.
I do not use or Preeloader or Priiloader, I see no useful if you have BootMii v6 installed in Boot2.
Greetings.

Neburg.

Thanks for all of your hard work

Beta 16:
Finally added reloader support

It took that long, because i use a newer DevkitPPC than WiiGator did, and apparently the old one produces smaller exacutables. I had to reduce the memory usage by about 300 bytes. Well a side effect of this is that the reloader doesn't switch itself off after doing a reload -> games that do more than 1 .dol loading should work now.

So i found out that Eternal Darkness reloads its .dol on death, which causes the crash on death. Now that this is "fixed", i need a new issue i can test changes against

Means backup are recognized through disk channel ?
Even if no darkcorp installed ?

Keep up good work man

Eh what?

Yeah, exactly...


not. NeoGamma is a homebrew tool to launch backups, nothing to use with the disc-channel.

 

[OuahOuah]

Ouch.

I though about "rebooter" instead of "reloader"

Sorry LOL

 

[House64]

Great, you finaly added the reloader support

But, I tried to run Zelda Ocarina Of Time Master Quest (PAL) (Backup) : Black Screen, "No Signal" after the GC backup loader screen or green screen

I have tried with all video modes.

WiiGator Cmios v4
Mode GC Internal

 

[WiiPower]

What video cables do you use? Did you set your Wii to 50Hz or 60Hz output? Do you have other games working?

I have the retail disc of it and it works* when i boot it in PAL576i/disc video mode and my Wii is set to 60 Hz output. Does the game boot in WiiGator's loader? Or with Waninkoko's cMIOS + GC mode MIOS? Without reloader you should at least be able to get the selection screen.


*i have to eject and reinsert the disc, but that's something retail disc only related

Small text issue in beta16 in wii debugger, wii is with w character.

 

[Neburg]

Many do it not appreciate, but great job Wiipower, with the Beta16.
Greetings.

Can you choose with which cIOS to boot a game in NeoGamma?
If not it would be a nice feature. So you could switch to cIOS37 rev19 for Monster Hunter Tri and don't have to install it when you want to play with that game.

Beta 17: Dirty fix for Pokemon Box

The method i use to get Pokemon Box to work, might work on other games, but i don't want to enable it for all games, because it would have unknown side-effects. And it won't be an option in NeoGamma, because that would only cause confusion.

If anybody has a not working GC game and wants a special test version, please post in this thread.

I will reconsider this after the cIOS rev20 release.

 

[OuahOuah]

Is it a protection for pokemon made by Nintnedo ?

 

[WiiPower]

I don't know, but i doubt it. If it was they would be doing the same on Wii games which they are not.

I need incompatible games, or else the only thing i can do it improving the speed on the reloader. And that's something i can't do on my own right now, because i don't know where the Bootloader/IPL/whatever that is loaded to 0x8130000 in memory is located on the disc.

My Wii is set to 480p. I use official nintendo component cables...

The Game boots in Wiigator's loader ! But even if I boot it with reloader support, it reboots the wii when I slect a game...

(sorry for my bad english)

 

[WiiPower]

Hmm, and what do you get with the crap cables, the wii set to 480i in the settings menu, NeoGamma set to PAL576i and reloader enabled? That would match the setup i'm using and which would confirm wether it's a video mode issue or not.

 

[House64]

ok, I will test later ^^

edit : I tried with beta17, always with the composant cables, Zelda Collector's edition (PAL) (Backup) works with reloader and PAL 576i

But Zelda OOT Master Quest don't boot

. I will try later with standard cables.

PAL games work correctly with "PAL 576i" video mode (but "No signal" with "disk" video mode with 50Hz games)
NTSC games work correctly with "disk" video mode

Did you plan to synchronize the clock and the date of Wii with the mode GC internal? Because with Zelda The Wind Waker for exemple the date is always 01/01/2000 :/

No, you link it to Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire then you can organize all of your pokemon on the gcn - it was available on special offers. And since you need to link a GBA(SP) to the Cube... which is impossible on the wii...

Guys, stop making PokeBox compatible unless you know a way to make a GBA communicate with the Wii (or the NDS)
