Hacking SoftChip Backup Loader

[luccax]

I've just filed Issue 9. I'm running 480p and used to consistently crash on boot. I'm 5/5 so far on boots. That's good. However, the top line is now being clipped on the display.

If that happens only at SotChip's "menu" (the console), everything's normal. See my explanation at the project site.

I´m from German my School English is not so good.

If I do not know what, as I write, I translate it from Google :-) like this :-)

Can you put a DOL of r28 on rapidshare or something to download for the guys who don't know how to compile (like me) ?


would be damn nice!

R28

why isnt there a downloadable compiled version on the google page yet? is it because its developing to fast to post one yet?

I have ios249 installed with both 0.1 and 0.3 of wiigators loaders working..If i install this version will it interfere with those? and can someone megaupload the DOL itself? Thanks Guys! this is moving realllly quickly I have to say its a pretty impressive pace!

(I dont want to compile it and mess it up I know i am not very good at that sort of thing but would love to test it out and report feedback ect)

EDIT: nick thank you! you had the DOL posted before i could post a request! ...My man!...Thank you!

 

[Raylene2K7]

great, thanks!

i have to test this on a un-modded wii tomorrow, somehow i guess there will be some updates until tomorrow

 

[20clarky08]

R28 already

at this rate its gonna hit alpha seriously quick..

is this a race between u guys and da Gator now lol

"There is no official dol. SoftChip is source-only until we hit alpha."

 

[wiibob]

what do i use to load the .dol ? i used HBC and it errors :s

 

[vettacossx]

"There is no official dol. SoftChip is source-only until we hit alpha."

ok thanks for that bro!

another Question is there a compat thread for it atm or no real need yet?

Feedback:
Tested a 1:1 Crash Mind Over Mutant NTSC on my 3.3U un-chipped console

Press the (A) button to continue.

Oh dear...

This thread is turning into exactly the opposite of what I was hoping...

Let me say this:

If you don't know how to download the most recent code or how to compile it by yourself, then just move along.

Also, if you don't know how to use SVN, then just stop what you're doing and don't ask here....this project isn't for you.

This code is pre-alpha - it's intended for people who have a modicum of knowledge when it comes to compiling code...

Just stick to Wiigator's build if you're unsure.

Stop asking for a .dol file.

If you don't know how to make one already from the code that is easily accessible to all, then don't even bother posting...
