It's still tapping not holding, i think we should add some note to the loader.

Well, I just tested it, and the 002-Fix works, Gamma with the 002-Fix fails...now only Cheat-Codes and Vid-Patch are missing...

Oh, btw...If I set it to Autoboot in the Config, how can I go to the Config-Menü? Which button should I press? Thanks in Advance!

Gamma with 002 fix should work, maybe you got a non working version.

Is it possible to Autoboot and Silent SoftChip without the configuration file on the SD card?

Just make this the default configuration and compile. It's in Configuration.cpp, you only need to change bool Configuration::Parse.

Sry but whats silent in german? I always think: Stille oder schweigen? This doesnt make sense.

I would translate with "still" or "wortkarg", in SoftChip this means just: no output.

WiiPowerEinfach bilden Sie dieses die Rückstellungskonfiguration und kompilieren Sie. It' s in Confuguration.cpp, müssen Sie nur bool Konfiguration ändern:: Analysieren Sie.

there translated for you pika9323

Sorry for the n00b question, but what do I do with the softchipr74.dol file? I tried to install just the wad but it said something about using IOS36. I have Homebrew and Gamma installed already but I just followed the noobie directions to get it to work

.wad is for the Wii menu. The .dol for the HBC. When you start Softchip you must select IOS249 otherwise it won't start.

Good luck

Visit the homepage of the HBC and read there how to run .dols.

Allrighty, trying to make a autoboot, silent and error 002 fix enabled SoftChip.

So I just need to change

/ trunk/ loader/ source/ Configuration/ Configuration.cpp
CODE Data.IOS = Default_IOS;
Data.Language = -1;
Data.SysVMode = true;
Data.AutoBoot = false;
Data.Silent = false;
Data.Logging = false;
Data.Remove_002 = false;
return true;
in
CODE Data.IOS = Default_IOS;
Data.Language = -1;
Data.SysVMode = true;
Data.AutoBoot = true;
Data.Silent = true;
Data.Logging = false;
Data.Remove_002 = true;
return true;

and then compile it?
What is the return true for?
Will it autoload IOS36 unless I change Default_IOS in 249?

Just change the options you want and don't touch the rest. I forgot, of couse you should change the default IOS too.

make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1
"make": *** [build] Error 2

Did you compile any wii application before? If yes, did you update devkitpro with the updater? If no, where exactly did you install the devkit and where is the project? Spaces aren't allowed for these two paths.

Hmmm, my folders were

C:/devkitpro
C:/wiiproject/softchip

Anyway I rebooted on that crappy laptop and now it won't start (BIOS issues). Trying everything on a PC now. Still a question. Should I replace Default IOS it with 'IOS249' or '249'?

PS. I have never compiled SoftChip before (shame on me I know) nor used devkitPro but I am eager to learn)
