Hacking SoftChip Backup Loader

[WiiPower]

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.

B5662343D78AD6D$?

The B5662343D78AD6D is just a signature, you should be able to edit the config file with a hex editor. There is something wrong in the config file saving, we will correct this soon and then everything should work as expected.

r65 is out, this should fix the problems with the configuration saving

Please test r66, I'm trying to fix these FAT and USB issues.

 

[wim6]

,aybe a stupid eustion but when i use the wad to install the cahnnel must i still place the dol file in the apps folder

 

[Screemer]

it's a forwarderchannel. it will load the .dol from sd card. you have only to install the wad once and can replace the .dol with newer versions.

Oh, Sorry for my bad English.
Here is what i did & met:
1,Copy r66 boot.dol to /SD/App/SoftChip/
2,Run it from HBC
3,Change the cIOS to 249 & press A, then the game works fine.
4,Press home button in game, then restart the wii.
5,Run r66 again & I got a black screen, wiimote no response, no LED light up.
6,Delete the /SD/SoftChip/Default.cfg
7,Run r66, no black screen & the IOS backed to 36.
9,Change any setting like silent mode & press A, system freezed, lost contact with wiimote, must restart wii with long-press power button.
i m not sure about 9, maybe its a radom freeze...
Thanks.

Thank you for the information. There are some factors which could responsible for your crash(es), if you could provide some more info we could help you quicker:
1. Which IOS do you use, Waninkoko's or WiiGator's?
2. Do you have any usb hardware plugged in?
3. Is your sd card a SDHC card? (Which capacity does your sd card have)

If you have any other problems in the future you can use this page to inform the SoftChip team:

No, this would be great news, we would announce it, if an update increases compatibility.

doesnt CoD work fine though?

 

[Thor1981]

Softchip issued with a graphical interface?
How do you explain how Softchip use it?

Oh, i don't know, i thought it was incompatible after reading the post by kanoeyes. I only know that the new Need for Speed does only work if use the original or a special Wii-modchip-firmware combination.

Do you use some kind of translator or babel fish, sorry, but i can't understand you.

Hello, they would publish a Softchip with graphic interface? I take to time using Backup Launcher 0,3 gustaria gamma and to begin to me to use Softchip, somebody podria to explain to me as it works?

I never had my question answered... does this fix the bug with WiiShizzzle's forwarder channel for loader.dol's? I know I could try it myself...but I figured that was something also being implemented as a fix seeing that it is a nice little feature to have to test newer rev's as they are compiled...

Other than that, you guys are doing a great job. Any news on Requiem fixing the insert any ios feature?
Or is this now something that is fixed? I have been trying to follow this the best I can.. but with so many changers and coders up-reving the code... it get's confusing sometimes...along with me trying to follow every other cool hack that is exploding with new code fixes.. etc.

I do love the commitment to all of your hard work and production... (meaning all you coders)

I even noticed that a few other projects that I am interested in happen to be the same interests as yours as well.. if there is anything I can do in my abilities to help... just PM me or tell me to shut the hell up...

I never really knew that I could use just about any keyboard and usb hub to connect to the back of my Wii... I was amazed to see that I am able to hub my keyboard and flashdrive on one port (w/hub) and still use my ethernet adapter and all work w/ out such a fuss.. I know that there is a long road ahead for faster support... but it's definately a start to something fantastic.

How can this little white unit (my wii) be capable of so much more just boggles me!

As long as there's no clear statement from someone with that problem if the problem is related to the forwarder itself or SoftChip, for me (personally) the problem is fixed.

About new features, if it's not stated here from someone of the team, that a new feature is included, it's not.

About the IOS Version on the fly patch, maybe Requiem starts a new try soon.

If anybody wants to contribute something, he's always welcome at the IRC channel, we need someone for graphics. More guides wouldn't be bad and we would love to see some good coders there, too. The IRC channel is a good place to go to when you have a problem, too.
