Thanks. This fixed the autoboot issue I was having. It does have the HBC shutdown bug change520 described but fortunately I never shutdown via that method.

Edit: I just discovered using the Reset button in the Home menu (during a game loaded with Configurable USB Loader) does not actually reset the console, it shuts it down.

 

[longtom1]

not sure haven't tested that never shutdown that way anyway always use the wiimote to turn off when possible

Great work. priiloader working beautifully. wondering how if there is a file floating around to forward or point to wiiflow app folder for autobooting so I don't have to load a new dol file to nand each time version changes instead? Like how preloader v.29 used to have the NForwarder thing where it was kind of a shortcut pointing to where the file really was.

check the open wiiflow thread, but its not compatible with certain revs of priiloader

Does the same thing for me if you have to hard reset console by pressing power for few seconds. First remote will not connect so I can not turn it on using it then if I turn it on by pressing power button will turn on then shuts off. After this I can use the remote or the power button and turns on.

@ Daco, I think you might want to read this... I know enough about priiloader to solve almost any problem (from an end-user standpoint of course)... but this one confuses even me

report a bug on my wii using R32:

shutdown wii using hbc or other application(not the power button) may cause the second time start fail, but the third time will be ok.

i know and there is nothing i can do sadly >_>
its cause those apps reboot/shutdown on their own and dont touch the bootstate when they do...

EDIT: or touch the system menu. games/channels set bootstate to 5 and then reboot/boot system menu. system menu then shuts down/goes into idle

Daco, I'd like to add this problem happens also if when for some reason the Wii hangs and I need to hold the power button for a few second to power off. Well the next time I power on, it will auto-poweroff in 1-2 second before anything appears onscreen.

Tested with r32 on a 4.1 Wii with bootmii as boot2.

update on that issue : for some reason its related to priiloader or how homebrew shut down :/
why it happens or why it doesn't happen when priiloader isn't installed is unknown...
cause priiloader doesn't even start when you shutdown from homebrew...

 

[Wiiwu]

Fyi it doesn't happen with your older v0.1.

 

[Daco]

no, but the bootstate issue from homebrew does.
and its related

this might be similar to some other comment, but when 'ignore standby' is on, and you power down from the hbc, it is not ignored.

i noticed that for 'auto boot' there are more options than 'return to', and 'shutdown to'.
do you think you could add options for us to return/shut down to everything that we can autoboot to?
thank you!

hint : Returnto:autoboot

also, the hbc thingy is being thought about. its the same issue as shutting down from homebrew can cause priiloader startup issues later on (only once)
and it apparently is there for all preloader & priiloader versions...

 

[cearp]

i know about return to auto boot, but if say if i wanted to boot to the system menu, but return an installed file, or the hbc, i can't do it. is it not possible to have all the same options for auto boot, for the othre two options? since they only have 3 (i think), whilst you can auto boot to quite a few

uhoh, what do you mean start up issues?

...

 

[Daco]

uhoh, what do you mean start up issues?

...

set return to to system menu, autoboot disabled.
turn off and startup again. go to system menu and reset (hold reset to get back in priiloader)
boot homebrew channel and turn off wii

then turn it back on; it will boot system menu instead of starting the priiloader menu >_

 

[cearp]

oh, thanks for the heads up. and good luck with it

@ Daco,

i was reading How_To_compile_Priiloader_Windows

I understood everything, but the last line kinda confused me, it said

Build

QUICK NOTE : Debug only builds priiloader. Release builds both

does this mean that the self-compiled priiloader cannot be installed? Or what does this mean exactly?

 

[longtom1]

probably means priiloader and the installer

in visual studio(and visual C++?) you can compile the source in 2 ways (see top bar)
in debug mode it wont compile the installer
in release mode it will compile the installer.

EDIT: also, i seriously forgot alot of shit in the wiki... D:
