Homebrew postLoader4

[stfour]

Forgive my late reply, but I can answer your questions by stating that I am running cios rev21 d2x v6, 249[56]. Also I just tried to access my emulated nand in Might Channels and it didn't work in there either. I got some error about being unable to get title list. So I guess I won't say my issue is a fault of your program, but either way I can't figure out why my nand isn't readable/accessible. If you need further details do let me know.

DaFees, have you ever tried your dump with something capable of working with it ? Last chance can be uneek. How do you make it ? Simple FS dumper ?

 

[DaFees]

I've tried Mighty Channels as I said and that didn't work, I'm unfamiliar with uneek, but I suppose I could try it, and as for how I made the dump, well I used bootmii to make my dump.

I shouldn't think this would matter, but I have all the individual folders on the root of my USB drive and not inside a folder labeled nand. If it would be easier I could probably just use ModMii to create a new dump, because I've never done much of anything fancy with my nand. I've only ever put a bunch of WiiWare and couple VC on there.

so bootmii and then extracted. Ok this should work. I have not idea of why it doesn't work. If also m.c. has problems, I suspect that your nand is corrupted or something is missing.

Try modmii to make a new nand... it easy and fast.

Copy your png named "ploader.png" on the root of SD card. 640x480 is suggested.
Using a custom splash screen will slow a bit postLoader startup.

is this for hdtv ? how about sdtv ? size change matter ?

It doesn't matter

Found it !

postLoader2 b34

* plneek: update to v1.3 (only code clean)
* pl2: added fix for old app with "crash on exit" issue. It is per-app setting, so press B on the app (like ftpii) and enable "Fix crash on exit" option.
* pl2: hide/show application (and folders) now works as it should.
* to keep dist smaller, postloader boot.dol is no more in apps folder. You must copy manually postLoader.dol to apps/postloader/boot.dol
* This version will clear configuration file. Autoboot setting will be lost.

Known issues

* priibooter crash if there is no sd in the wii. Don't panic... just blank screen. Insert an sd, or disable priibooter in priiloader.
* if a channel png is corrupted, postloader may crash
* dimension theme crash postloader

Download on first post

The crash on exit was strange. Postloader clear STUBHAXX to let priiloader be executed. Both ftpii and wm1.7 terminate with a "return" and not with "exit". I've already patched this behavior in b27, this is the first time I see a dsi for it. I think this is related to an old devkitpro. Anyway activate the fix and the problem is solved.

Many thanks mate, will try asap

You shouldn't use transparency for ploader.png, even it is supported. Make sure your png is 24bit x pixel.

If you download theme pakage, you can find some ploader.png. Try one of them, if you are not sure...

just read the historii.txt and you will find it.

here's my hbc icon

(looks nice in default postloader theme)
i thought since this postloader2 was giving me a 'post' loading,
whenever i use it ,
i would add a pic of someone else who gets my 'post' loaded.
(we need mantriculated icons and neorame art and such , i like colorful art)

and this on worked

 

[DaFees]

Ok, now I am not sure what my problem could be. I used ModMii to create a new NAND (I selected the uneek + di option as I wasn't sure which option was best), after creating the NAND I used showmiiwads to load it up with the content I had. Then just for compatibility sake I copied over the cert.sys file from my NAND dump. I tried to use the NAND in postloader2 with no luck. Still got the "can't enable NAND emulator" error.

All that I can tell you is that my NAND (the four folders created with ModMii) are located on the root of my USB drive. My USB drive has two partitions: one is fat32 for Wii apps and such, and the other partition is an NTFS partition to hold my Wii games. Both partitions are marked as primary with the fat32 partition being marked as active.

Other than the following syscheck I'm not sure what other info I can provide.

Woah, wait. This just runs from a .dol??
So I can make a homebrew channel folder to boot this up? I don't need to use the autoboot?

This looks really cool.

Or does it need to be booted via priiloader?
Could I just make: SD:/apps/postLoader2/(Contents are boot.dol, meta.xml, logo.png)

 

[stfour]

@Aijelsop. You can choose the setup you prefer. I use priiloader->priibooter and postloader.dol on sd root, because I don't want enter in system menu or run hbc.

@DaFees. AFAIK your configuration should work. Can you try to copy nand to sd ? I'm working on a pl version capable to log to the sd all operation for debugging porpouse, maybe can help. But it isn't ready yet.

I know, but I don't want to use the autoboot, I'm overcautious about things (even if they won't brick, or have very low chances of it; autoboot for example) as I don't have a NAND backup, and my SD card doesn't have enough space atm.

So can I just do like other hbc apps and create a folder with the dol file in it?

Yes, you can.

Anyway pl2 NEVER write or read real nand. The only access to real nand is made by priiloader to install priibooter.

ps. make a nand backup !!!

 

[DaFees]

Ok, well the NAND I've be working with is too big to fit on any SD cards I have, so I made a copy of it and cut away a bunch of stuff to bring it down in size. Anyways I was thinking that because the NAND was optimized for uneek it wouldn't work on an SD card (how little I know). Well, surprise, surprise, the NAND works fine when run off an SD card.

However, it could read the NAND fine, but when I tried to boot a VC n64 title I received the following error:

ES_Identify...ERR: (identify) ES_Identify (ret= -4)
ERR: (bootTitle) Identify failed

Thanks. I've been trying to make a NAND backup but my sd card is almost full.
Can I switch to a blank sd card after opening BootMii, or does the sd card have to have the bootmii files on it to back it up?

 

[GartimusPrime]

all my ww/vc when loaded says "There is not enough available space in Wii system memory. Either move data to an SD Card or delete data on the Data Management screen." What did I do wrong now?

 

[Aijelsop]

Hmmm, how come no channels load up, only homebrew? I have many channels, and also have Majora's Mask, that I legit purchased, nothing shows up? I even added the filters and stuff.
