Hacking SoftChip Backup Loader

[nicksasa]

ive found the solution

original posted by luccax

I've put this:

*(u32*)0x800000CC = 1;

Before:

VIDEO_ClearFrameBuffer(vmode, framebuffer, COLOR_BLACK);

The black screen / no signal / black and white problem is now fixed here. I really
don't know what this address is, but the other loaders set this when a game is PAL
or when you force PAL. They also make sure this it's zero when it's a JAP or USA
game.

and it worked

it really is faster than wiigator
and maybe you schould make a pal version cause this nis the only thing that works

this is for usa games try it but i dont now if it will work

While you can try using that dol in the meantime, we'll have a better patch using luccax's idea in the next few minutes on svn.

It doesn't make much sense to keep compiling and releasing new dols every time a patch is submitted, development is moving too fast to keep up.

I'll check it out and tell you in a bet .

Still getting that damn disc read error

Still getting that damn disc read error

is it a 1:1 copy ? and works the copy with backup launcher 0.3 ?

 

[WiiPower]

Confirmed, after adding this line
*(u32*)0x800000CC = 1;
SoftChip finally stated working for me.

Still getting that damn disc read error

This is most likely a problem with the cios as stated before or a bad burn.

 

[ebdynasty]

Yeah disc read error 1:1 on both 0.3 and this, what is the best cios to use? I am using rev6, the one that came with 0.3

 

[nicksasa]

install the last cios from waninkoko its compatible with 0.3 and softchip

 

[ebdynasty]

What topic is that in? I dont think ive come across it before

 

[nicksasa]

just search on google

 

[ebdynasty]

Do i just install it without uninstalling anything else?

 

[BIG MOE]

you can get it from HERE

do any other back-ups run in either loader?
because again, if this particular one doesn't work in both, it may just be a bad burn/back-up

 

[BIG MOE]

Do i just install it without uninstalling anything else?

it is better to use waninkoko cios uninstaller to remove cios249 first then do a clean install of the new one .

 

[ebdynasty]

Yeah I went to the website but im confused as hell, when I click on the download it takes me to a forum thats not in english and I cant see any download links, and when I did find the custom cios from another site, I loaded it up, tried to install it but it told me a wad error then restarted :S
