Hacking SoftChip Backup Loader

[KimKong]

"Trauma Center - New Blood" is working just fine on r39
"James Bond - Quantom of Solace" don't work..

There will be no major compatibility changes until a new cIOS is available. We're working on it. This is still pre-alpha.
If anyone wants to know what has changed in each revision, refer to the google code site.

Thanks for your continued support, everybody.

Just want to say thanks requeim4d

I am not a coder but maybe someday I will get my head down and look into it as it is something that interests me, but for now I really appreciate your hard work.

I currently am using your loader for most of my games, and games like COD5 and QOS using Waninkoko's loader. I also have Wiigator 0.3 as an option but so far I only need the two mentioned. I think it is incredible how quickly you guys work these things out and get working software for us guys to use. I wish I could contribute more to the scene as I have got a lot from it recently.

I'm not going to ask you for anything, I am just happy you are actually working on this and making improvements all the time, small or large. Soon I am positive, we will have a working loader that loads all games regardless of region.

Keep up the great work and again, thanks.

If you encouter a problem with Waninkoko's loader, could you please test with the Wiigator 0.1 NCE with that problem too? I think if you don't use cheats and cross region playing, compatibilty between these two should be the same, but it would be nice to be proven wrong. Thanks.

@WiiPower

I don't have an issue with playing COD5 and QOS on Waninkoko's loader. I am using patched versions, both PAL and I have switched my disc region to PAL using Any Region Changer just for compatibility as most of my backups are Wii despite having an NTSC Wii.

 

[WiiPower]

If you would use the 0.1 NCE, the patching wasn't needed and i think there's a channel for this around

 

[cdreams]

What is the NCE?

 

[noobwarrior7]

What is the NCE?

nice-color edition, supposedly it fixes some things and only breaks MarioSonic Olympic Games.

 

[20clarky08]

Hey, I've always been a faithful follower of applications and waninkoko loader Wiigator, but I have to read this thread and I have not finished yet understand how Softchip.
How do you guide a little?
It has already been launched the alpha version?

@mballer

So what exactly does the NCE do?

I currently have Waninkoko's loader installed with rev5 cIOS and I am working fine for COD5 and QOS, albeit slower loader with some stuttering here and there. I also have Softchip r39 for any 1:1 backups I have.

Is the NCE a cIOS mod?

The NCE is a modification of WiiGator's 0.1 loader. It's changed to set the hooktype to GC by default, as it seems this increases compatibility with some games. It also includes the entryholder fix, which solved some problems. Should be as good as Waninkoko's loader in every detail + cheats and video mode selection.

@WiiPower

Cheers for the info. So do you know if the NCE loads COD5 and QOS on Wiigator 0.1? If so I take it you still use the regular rev5 cIOS, or is it using rev6 cIOS?

Finally if the answer is yest to loading these games, I may just install it and see if it works any smoother than Waninkoko's leaked loader.

Oh yeah I was going to ask, when you say changed the hooktype, what does that mean exactly. Is this a way the code boots or something?

I think the hooktype stuff is GeckoOS related. I don't know what it does. Ingame everything should be the same as with Waninkoko's loader, but you have more options, you would not need to region patch your games. If COD5 and QOS work, i don't know, but i know Okami which does not work with the 0.3b works with the NCE. I use the cios_fix by ppc_gba for the NCE, which is an improved version of the rev5 cIOS, and no i don't not what's exactly fixed by that, but it seems not to break something.
