Hacking Preloader/CIOSCORP questions.

[richiefs]

When CIOSCORP is installed, how do the orginal games run? Do they run in 3X like copies?

Nope. The read speed is determined by the drive's firmware. Retail games are detected and read 6x. DVD's (backups) are detected and read 3x.
No-one has bothered or achieved to reflash the drive's firmware so these speeds will remain, regardless what you do wiht all the ios' on the wii.

Hope that clears it up.

so that cioscorp is better than those backup loaders ?
i don't completely understand it yet.

so there are some data changed so that even copys get read as if they were original ?

coiscorp works the same as the backup loaders cuz, the compatibility depends on the ios's installed (such as the rev7)

 

[Youkai]

so if you have a bad drive that won't read most of the DVD's this won't help either right ?

cuz i installed the backuplauncher on a friends wii and his wii can only read like 1 out of 10 of the games that work on my wii.

So why does MOH:H2 work with CIOSCORP and now with Backup Loader?

 

[BluntTrauma]

I assume you mean "NOT" with backup loaders?

Probably because CIOSCORP replaces all the IOSes with a DIP-patched version.
All the backup loaders do is force the game to run using cIOS249. If the part of the game for some reason ignores that patch at all, it will be running some part of it through a non-DIP-patched IOS.

MOH2 does works.....but you need to patch the .iso file to ios249 with IOSVersionPatcher cause it it readen by IOS21 (or earlier), and all that games needs that patch...!!!

in CIOSCorp the IOS used by this game is a cIOS that's why it works without any modification to the .iso

It's kind of the same:

CIOScorp, are all your IOS used by the games converted to cIOS (IOS with DIP7 added) so the game can be launched thru the Disc Channel, just like a retail game.
Launcher, will force any game to be readen by cIOS249 (wich is a copy of IOS36 with the DIP7 added)

That might not be your friend's drive... if you have him downgraded to 3.2u w/ starfall etc.. Go in with ANYTitle DELETER and see if IOS37 is present...if it is get rid of it... by installing the cios37 over it... That got my friend's wii loading way better because that is the ios which first checks the bug...

I have actually done it to 2 wii's I had softmodded and it got the compatability issues straightened when I thought it was the Wii drive myself... It wouldn't hurt to try it... it's not like you can't reload the original ios back on if you think it was necessary to keep it as it was...

 

[Youkai]

seems there is no IOS37 ...

how can i insall it ? i installed cios rev7 but thats it ...

 

[buby78]

i just softmod my cousin wii i used wiigators rev 7 no go used waninkokos bingo that did it.

 

[robiul]

IMPORTANT QUESTION: If I decided to install CIOSCORP with PRELOADER with HACKS file and everything other to make it boot through disc channel, am I allowed to uninstall everything it in the future like it was never there?


does someone mind answering my question.

[digitydogs]
