@djdynamite123: Can you say me if you installed the cIOS? Or does it works without the cIOS? Because like you know, I'm also modded..

Many Thanks in Advance!

For Rock Band customs you would need one. (based on IOS37)

You can download the latest version from here.

I don't know if Arm needs to update this manually or if it is done automatically.

There isn't an official .dol or .wad download, the SoftChip team only provides the source code.

Automatically? Not yet. Too lazy to finish my script.

And I have 2 reasons for it not being updated until now:
1. I was home from school sick (dad always turns off the internet when I'm home sick from school)
2. I was Christmas shopping for my mom

so....I seem to have missed the explanation of how r73 accomplishes the 002 fix....the discs remain untouched 1:1? does ios55 still need to be installed? sorry.

Sorry, for not mentioning it here. The 002 fix is only a patch applied to the main.dol. SoftChip loads the main.dol from the disc and writes it into the memory, every loader has to do this, this is necessary to start the game. All i had to do was to apply the 002 fix to this copy of the main.dol in memory.

SoftChip still loads the IOS you selected and this IOS is used to play the game. Theoretical you could delete all other gaming IOS, but i really can't recommend this.

R73 saves the #002 fix option (enabled/disabled) to the config file.

Haha i wondered if anyone would get that ive messed with the banner some more not sure what i prefer now if only i knew how to animate we could have had a moving ripple effect on the background.

all a patched IOS55 does for me is allow me to boot from disc channel so i don't think its needed for anything. I found SoftChip hangs at loading screens if the wrong video mode or something is selected but still boots too that point

thanks sess

To coder:

I got an idea to improve your softchip project.
Many users play import and standard games with your loader.
You know that some game (import but new too) uses differents combination of settings to work.
Currently we have one configuration file so we have to change it every time.
It would be nice if we can store more then one cfg (maybe based on game's title, like save or disc image label).

Example:
Softchip launched without any disc inserted = default cfg loaded
Softchip launched with a "new" disc = default cfg loaded, when game starts the configuration is written to SD
(like RNYE.cfg for naruto clash of ninja)
Softchip launched with an already used disc = specific cfg loaded...

 

[Wiisel]

Oooops that was for a PM lol

DaK_TaLeS that sounds cool even if we had to manually write each cfg
or had a txt doc it reffered to

anyone can upload r73 wad please...?
