When I try to run a GC game I'll get this error
No audio streaming - Failed to read DVD 232 - Error 0x31100 Ready - Halting
what does is means and how to fix it

Do you have a modchip? Do you have any working GC backups? Which cIOS do you have? Do you have working wii backups on disc?

Modchip: No
Working Gc Backups: No
cIOS: cIOS 249
Working wii backups : Yes, SMBW

So if somebody really wants to get Phantasy Star Online 1&2 to work, i need some help. I found this AR master code that is supposed to work:
0X9M-MRJZ-BYE0D
H61N-1BVE-P9NC4
BR17-8MM0-4HET7
CT37-0JCP-YN9BW
AC6T-YDMQ-XQN40

Decrypting it gets to this:
07FF0000 88000000
0C010BE0 4E800020
C4010BE0 0000FF02
0C6C79BC 7FC803A6
C46CB69C 0000FF03

Converting to a Wiird/Ocarina code gets this:
20010BE0 4E800020
E2000001 80008000
206C79BC 7FC803A6
E2000001 80008000

Since Ocarina doesn't work on backups, i need to know what this code does. (i assume it's writing something to a certain memory offset)
When i know that, i can add it to NeoGamma, and it might allow booting the game. Well since the code is executed over and over when used "normally", the chance is high that it just can't work the way i'm planning.

When I try to run a GC game I'll get this error
No audio streaming - Failed to read DVD 232 - Error 0x31100 Ready - Halting
what does is means and how to fix it

Do you have a modchip? Do you have any working GC backups? Which cIOS do you have? Do you have working wii backups on disc?

Modchip: No
Working Gc Backups: No
cIOS: cIOS 249
Working wii backups : Yes, SMBW

Sorry i have no idea what's causing this error. Try another GC game.

= off-topic, but yes, the application itself works, but there are no hacks for fw3.4, so its of very little use on fw3.4.

Question:
I saw there was a contest for an official channel for R8.

How about R9??
I,ve made an autoboot channel for R9 myself a cuople of times.
But it gets pretty annoying if you have to do it for every update.

Maybe a better question would be, when is the alpha version coming (as an autoboot channel)?

 

[YOCJ]

@hetfield
The contest is about R8 cauz R9 is still on development.
Once a channel will be chosen, it will be used as the official NeoGamma channel and it will be updated after every final version.

call me dense, but I can't find cIOS37rev19 anywhere

James bond 007 NightFire is not working.

"An error has occurred "

James bond 007 NightFire is not working.

"An error has occurred "

Please try reloader set to force 1st, then use high pluing, and then try both.

 

[wulfie]

or is cIOS37rev19 supposed to be cIOS38rev19? I'm confused now since I don't see cIOS37rev19 anywhere.

Both use the same installer.

Well I've installed everything, neogamma and cIOSxRev19, but when I go to play my retail copy of Eternal Darkness, I get the error message at the beginning (during the Poe poem) about turning off the 'gamecube' and reading the owner's manual. What settings should I use to get this game running? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Results:

Not using forced: An error has occurred.
Using forced: you get past the error has occurred. But when it says: Press start, and you press it, you get black screen and nothing happens.

Using High plugin or without high plugin also result in black screen when using forced.


If I use Dark Corp, will that fix the problem by using the disc channel?

See 1st post and/or readmes. I guess you are not using GC mode internal. I'm close to removing the others!

No DarkCorp won't help you. With that you have the choice between Waninkoko's and WiiGator's cMIOS, and then the loader that's included in the cMIOS will be used instead of NeoGammas'. Waninkokos' doesn't have a reloader, and it seems it's necessary to run the game. WiiGator's loader might be able to play the game.

Does it get to the "press start" screen with forced reloader and high plugin? If that works, i might be able to gather more info.

Yup. It gets to Press start when using forced reloader+ High plugin. But when you PRESS it, you get black screen.

James Bond Nightfire (PAL on a PAL MultigameDisk) works for me using the the reloader-> forced option. I get past the Start screen, I can play mulitplayer fine and most of the singleplayer missions loaded.
@bjorno maybe you need an existing save game.

@Wiipower Thank you very much for still developing the GC loader!
I have problems playing Super Monkey Ball 2 NTSC-U on a PAL Multigamedisk using the internal mode and your mios: the game freezes when I load a savegame. However, using the external mode and cMios rev 5 v4 the game has never freezed.
It would be nice if there was a way to fix that so i don't have to switch the modes and install the different Mios everytime

You mean you load Waninkoko's cMIOS with GC mode MIOS or external but without GC.dol on sd card? I will see if i can look into this issue.

Oh and you could be right about the savegame for 007 Nightfire, could you try to boot the game without any memory card plugged in? Well if that's the cause of the problem, it's still a bug that needs to be fixed, but then i would now better where to look.

I have retrieved my retail copy of Star Wars Clone Wars and have no problems booting it with any backup launcher or the Wii disc channel. I set GC mode to MIOS or Internal, the disc still boots. I also installed waninkoko cMIOS rev3 (base of MIOS v8) and boot the retail disc with Neogamma. But I don't know why you are after this info of retail disc booting. I also have priiloader region free settings turn off.

Neogamma does not boot a backup of this game with waninkoko's MIOS rev3 installed.

Yes I don't have a GC.dol on SD card.
And for James Bond Nightfire: without a memory card plugged in, nothing happens after Start is pressed.

Well i normally i would say to make sure NeoGamma does everything right except the backup loading. In the past i needed to do some adjustments to NeoGamma to get some games to work, and most of them were required for retail discs as well.

But when you say the retail disc works with pretty much everything, that startles me a little. Retail discs are not supposed to work with WiiGator's loader. Hmm, maybe that's the loader you didn't try.

Why do you test Waninkoko's cMIOS rev3? I thought rev 5 is the latest?

Anyways, thanks for the result, now i know where i don't need to look...screw that now i remember:
You are the guy that does way too much testing. I'm sorry if i said something about the retail disc after you told me the game works. You only need to test a retail disc of a game if the backup doesn't work. I'm expecting that all games that work as backup also work as retail disc now and some of the not working backups also work as retail disc.

You said the game works on the latest NeoGamma, so stop testing this game.

Then use GC mode MIOS in the future, that's the mode that is supposed to do what you want. Thanks for the confirmation on Nightfire, now we know it's not a random issue or a media/.iso problem.
