I'm really sorry for starting a new topic for such a pointless/noobish question, but the vast amount of info is very confusing and I'm not able to find exactly the info I want, so I thought I might as well just ask here:

cIOS 13b has a bug that causes my custom game channels to only work every other time (or after I manually un- and re-connect the USB wire). This appears to be the same or a related bug many other people have encountered when trying to load a second game, it wouldn't boot.

1. Does cIOS 13a have the same bug? If yes, what version of cIOS was the last without this bug?
2. Is it known whether cIOS 14 will fix this bug?
3. Some loaders appear to have workarounds to fix this bug. Is there any loader .dol (for game channels) that directly loads a game from USB that also has a workaround for this bug?

I'm actually asking WiiPower specifically, because I appreciate his precise knowledge of everything ©IOS-related, but anyone who knows the answers, please feel free to answer.
I apologize for this noobish topic and hope it will be my last one.

EDIT: Oh no, I even posted it to the wrong board...

cios 13a does not have this bug for me,so maybe 13b is the only one. I know rev10 is considered by most as very stable
theres no way to speculate about waninkokos cios releases bcuz since rev10 IMHO the havent been tested and debugged as much. He may fix everything, he may do something weird, hes just that kind of guy

I use USB loader gx, and made my channels with JAUCLT and they work fine on rev13a

Hope that helps you

As far as i know the only difference between 13a and 13b is that b has the 002 patch, which makes it unusable for serious use.

    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon

    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges

    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare

    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But the new Xbox pads? PIr it up and if a game supports it it just works
