Hacking SoftChip Backup Loader

[cubas321]

I accidentally clicked on the update :-D and when you develop something to fix?

"accidentally" - lol, heard this too often.
I assume, your HBC is also gone or not working, right?

have a look here: http://hackmii.com/2008/11/rise-of-the-dead/
marcan brought up a 3.4 exclusive HBC version.

Install it and then downgrade your wii.

I don't understand

R62 and R64 where is the R63 ?

 

[rendner]

period between r63 and r64 was only one hour

 

[wim6]

Since i used r64 softchip as a channel i cant open it anymore , i can see the channel and when i click it it goes to the channel but when i press begin it turns the screen black an doesnt do anything anymore???

 

[lolsjoel]

Nope. Still no idea why this isn't working.

My r51 WAD that I had made awhile ago still works perfectly fine, but the r62 (\Root\Softchip\loader.dol) linker channel doesn't work - still code dumps.

EDIT: OK. I've got r64 working thru the linker channel. Don't know if it makes any difference with how I did it, but first I injected r64 into my old WAD, which I installed and launched fine. I changed some settings for the configuration file and then launched the game. All fine. Then I restarted the Wii, launched the loader channel and it doesn't code dump, but my configurations file didn't load the options I had selected before. Is that a problem that's being worked on? Or do I need to update the configuration file from the loader channel to get it to save?

EDIT2: Code dump! r64 worked fine from the linker channel once, but now that I reset the Wii and loaded it again, I'm getting the code dump. What's going on?

 

[WiiShizzza]

You are talking about the LinkingChannel, right?

Make sure, the Directory for the loader.dol is written with "capital S and capital C" ..\SoftChip
Also you could try to place r64 as loader.dol and try again.

//EDIT:
Could you try with r60 or any other rev, plz?
Could you post a screenshot of the dump?

For all problems concerning the SoftChip Linker Channel, plz continue

Sorry for being a noob but what exactly does a linking channel link?

What is it suppose to do?

It is a way of having a channel linked directly to SoftChip which you do not have to change each time a new revision is released, as you can just change the file it loads off of the SD card.

Wouldn't it just be better to have updates that you can download? I mean you can ask forsaeken to do it cause he knows how.

 

[WiiShizzza]

Yes, I'm with you. Would really be a good thing.
I'm pretty sure, the gurus of SoftChip could implement it.
But I wonder if this has priority on their dashboard.

 

[kashin]

Considering that there has been no official release and that these Revs are mainly being released to further increase progress towards an official release, it's probaply not a priority.

Thx for the Softchip Backup Loader Requiem4d

 

[retroexistence]

I could NOT get this to work for so long :|

All it was, was the goddamn wii I was experimenting with doesn't seem to like the verbatim 1:1 backups that my wiikey'd model did. Is that right?

It LOVED cheap media, and dvd-r though. Just have to say, thanks. Softchip is an awesome piece of programming.

I'm going to continue experimenting, as I have got my paws on another unmodded wii. I'll see if this is as fussy with +r.

 

[slaphappygamer]

my wii is fussy with dvd+r's. it sounds like its eating marbles. now i have to re-backup my favorite games.

 

[buby78]

WiiShizzza is your wad good im running on 3.3u it wont brick me wii i saw that someone posted that they had a problem with it dont want to brick it

 

[WiiShizzza]

LinkingChannel won't brick you but somehow some people experienced only codedumps with it... We're still pointing out, why is this...

 

[masaemon]

i have a cfg file loading issue from r61.
Now i'm using r64, there is a file named default.cfg at /sd/SoftChip, but however i did change the value such as cIOS, autoboot... it still load the default setting IOS36 & others default settings at every boot.

Here is file content.

[Thor1981]

Hi, I have a lot of time using the charger and I wiigator works perfectly but I have a question, which is facing softchip differences?
Both use the same 36 rev7 CIOs?
