Hacking NeoGamma R9 beta

[NutNut]

if I tell you 1f you tell me 31, lets f**k 0x

 

[davebaol]

ok ok I give up

 

[Franpa]

Okay so:

1) Download IOS 236 via ModMii Download Page 1

2) Install via Multi MOD Manager using Waninkoko's latest custom IOS located at IOS249.

3) Run d2x cIOS Installer v2.0 and set it to use IOS236

4) Install d2x version 6 with Base IOS set to 56 and IOS slot set to 232 (Presumably I can use any slot not used by anything?)

5) Install Wiigator cMIOS v2

6) None of the previous steps display any error and all install successfully.

7) Run Neogamma, attempt to play Metroid Prime 2 USA on PAL Wii

8) Experience the game progressing through opening credits (Health Screen, Nintendo, Retro Studios etc.)

9) Game displays a error message indicating the disc can't be read and to consult my Gamecube manual.


==========

I have a PAL Australia Wii running System Menu 4.1 with various region free hacks applied to it, the game I am trying to play is Metroid Prime 2 (USA) and it is burnt to a DVD.

My question? How do I resolve this issue! NeoGamma reports it uses... cIOS36rev21 slot 249.


Edit: Looks like I have to do this... http://gbatemp.net/t219243-neogamma-r9-bet...t&p=3711081 yet I don't know where NeoGamma's configuration file is (The application linked there doesn't offer IOS232 as an option for whatever reason)

4) Install d2x version 6 with Base IOS set to 56 and IOS slot set to 232 (Presumably I can use any slot not used by anything?)

Correction:

4) Install d2x version 6 with Base IOS set to 56 and IOS slot set to 249 (249 because NeoGamma only checks slot 249 for a cIOS)



Do you have a modchip or cioscorp/darkcorp? What are your GC settings? Did you disable GC Ocarina/hooks?

 

[Franpa]

No cioscorp or darkcorp, GC settings are at default. Any idea how to delete the cIOS from 232 other then AnyTitleDeleter? That program for whatever reason a long time ago started to refuse to run (Pulling Sysmenu TMD... ERROR! ISFS_Open (Ret = -102)). It used to run however, many many many months ago like when 4.1 or 4.2 system menu was new.

I know it's not necessary to delete it as t can simply be overwritten if the time ever arises, anyways I will replace my trusty Waninkoko installation.

 

[Franpa]

WiiPower, NeoGamma now correctly uses the right cIOS however the game still fails at the same spot right when the title animation should play after showing the company logo's (The music however plays fine). I notice if I eject the disc and insert it again it briefly shows the title screen progressing a split second before repeating the error message.

Is this an indication of a badly burnt disc? Do I need to enable Region Free or Force cIOS in the Reloader? (I tried them already and they had no impact). I have Priiloader installed and not Preloader, could the Preloader Support option be causing conflicts?

EDIT: Yep badly burnt disc

The game works now that I re-burned it onto a Image Mag disc at 4x

Previously I burned to a MTV disc at max speed. Also the Image Mag disc doesn't produce a rather audible rattle sound while spinning unlike the MTV disc.

Cios 249 base 56 d2xv6.

Drivekey modchip installed.

I want to use neogamma in postloader as a disc launcher for gamecube and wii games. I thought I'd have great compatibility because of my mod chip. Gamecube games seem to launch just fine however wii games give me "drive too new" error. Is there anything I need to change to make it work as an alternative disc loader or am I out of luck?

Which error do you get in NeoGamma? And isn't the drivekey plugged in between wii and drive? It shouldn't play gamecube games from disc for you if you have a new drive...

Do the wii games work from the disc channel?

 

[DEFIANT]

dvd error (00000000), read toc
20080714
drive too new for dvd-r :-(

I do believe it sits between the drive and motherboard. Though I'm not positive of that, as I didn't insall it myself. Bought it online back in late '08. It's a lu65+ if that makes any difference?

 

[WiiPower]

Ok, this is odd, reading the TOC is the 1st thing AFTER reading the disc id, which should already fail. Do wii games work in the disc channel?

When loading GC backups with NeoGamma, does it say retail or backup?

Yes wii games work great on disc channel. Since switching to postloader I've been trying to setup access to everything I had on the system menu.

QUOTEWhen loading GC backups with NeoGamma, does it say retail or backup?

Neither. It says
Init drive...
Launching Game
GameID: GBIE08 (GC)
Loading...
Audio Stream Set

Then the game loads. No Problems. Media is Sony DVD-R. Burnt using IMGBurn. Works with disc channel as well.

 

[WiiPower]

Then either NeoGamma is screwing something horribly up, the chip returns a wrong value in one place, or the cIOS is doing something bad. Can you try Gecko OS mod?
http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php?topic=5823.0

It works the same way as NeoGamma, but uses IOS. If that works, it's the cIOS. If it fails as well, you could try SoftChip, it uses a different method to execute the reads.

 

[DEFIANT]

Gecko OS 1.9.3.1 works on both Wii and GC games.

Gecko OS Mod .92 works on both Wii and GC Games.

Where do we go from here?

Yes, the drivekey is one of the first flat based modchips.
See instructions on the official site.

Idk if this exactly has been mentioned but it gives me the 'drive too new' error if i just don't have a disc in. I have the oldest model of the wii, I bought it at midnight on release day, however it shows some 2008 date for the dvd drive. everything works perfectly for me, just thought I'd point out that message

Did you send in your Wii somewhen? If it was for DLs, it was most likely replaced, Do DVD-Rs work without modchip?

 

[DEFIANT]

Well... I have to find myself a triwing screwdriver before I can let you know. My local hardware store has one but it's a tip for a magnetic drive and it's in a set ($12.99). I just want a single screw driver. I'll keep looking.

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between your gecko os mod and the real gecko os? As I've adopted your gecko os mod as my disc loader on postloader.

works voices starfox in neogamma 50???

 

[oscarj08]

hey guys can you awnser my questions:

- on gc backup loading, dvd read error 216 0x31100 means that the disc or a fragment of it cannot be read, aint it? (Both MIOS/INTERNAL mode)

- i have waninoko cmios v5 on v10 installed (i can run games with MIOS mode), but if i install original mios to unnistall it, then i install wiigators cmios v10, but when i go to run a game in INTERNAL/MIOS mode, it gives me green scren error. so i back to unnistall it again and install waninoko cmios so, waninokos cmios and wigators cmios (that you recomend but doesnt work for me) have the same compatibility on neogamma r9 b50?

- MIOS mode shows me gc backup 0.2 and INTERNAL shows me neogamma gc launcher, is it the same thing to boot games? or not? (neogamma r9 b50, cmios v5)

- you say that all gc games must work except 007 Everything......, last time that i tested Crash Wrath Of Cortex the game ran without sound, i lost that mini dvd, so if i download it again with neogamma r9 b50 with cmios v5 on MIOS mode, it will run with sound?

- waniokos cmios v5 only runs in MIOS Mode and wiigators v10 runs in INTERNAL, aint it?

hope you can help/awnser me, sorry for my english gramatic errors
