Hacking Softchip

[Kwajongen]

Hi,

I am on 3.4E and have installed the following:

1) Zelda Twilight Princess –> Homebrew Channel
2) IOS16-64-v257.wad
3) WadManager1.3 & WadManagerIOS16
4) cIOS249v7 di waninkoko (wad)
5) IOS Downgrade
6) Backup Launcher 0.3gamma
7) Softchip r78

Now, the backup launcher is working properly, but I have an issue with softchip.

When I load the softchip channel, in the list I only see the IOS36, I do not see the cIOS249v7, therefore, as it is written in the page, IOS36 doesn't load backups, in fact, if I try, I get loctl error (di read id).

My understanding is that I need to select the cIOS249v7 in order to get softchip to work, but since it doesn't show up in the first page of softchip, I cannot select it.

Am I doing something wrong or misunderstood something?

Thank you for your help!

OK, I see what you mean, actually I had read what was written but didn't pay attention to the fact it was the last line, which on my TV is almost not visible. The attention was on the green line IOS 36

Now, selecting 249 it works, but how can I keed 249 as default?
When I switch the console off, and start again, by default it shows up IOS36 and have to change again.
Is there a way to set 249 by default and avoid using the SD?

Thank you

If was the moderator, I would immediately ban you.
If you are here to be impolite, you'd better be off this forum.

We (the SoftChip team) want to add usb storage support(additionally to sd card storage), but usb storage code is broken in libogc+libfat:

If you compile SoftChip yourself, you can easily change it to load IOS249 instead of IOS36. In Configuration.h change "#define Default_IOS 36" to "#define Default_IOS 249".

Thank you for your suggestion.

Well, one of the features of softchip is that you can use it without external support, that's why I want to use it standalone, without SD.
