(go start another thread on skyward sword pirate'n)

i been haveing issues with ntsc nand and the last 2 vesions of oneekdi , i have trouble building configs.
i tried a few nands , since i thought it was a corruption in my nand dumps , but they are fine with uneek.

same here if the diconfig doesnt exist the cDI doesnt make it right

Skyward Sword seems to work

I love your the way you lobby, buddy. By the time it becomes public you're making this up, cDI will have already a steady reputation of playing every wii game.


Anyhow...I just got back from my girlfriend and tested some things on RC3:
-super paper mario (NTSC): works (kinda failed on my on RC2).
-Sakura wars: so long my love (PAL): works. Correction: this only works because I downloaded it again. My 'original' still gives that gamecube mention.
-metroid: other M still gives the loop to start (unless you have barely any savegames in \titles\0010000). Keep in mind this is on 4.3E, and the game is without update partition.

@markehmus & scooby74029
what exactly is happening with the diconfig.bin? Is it not created at all, or is it created and does the system hang due to it being bad?
If it gets created, is it having the same size as a working diconfig.bin, or a different one?

For what it's worth, I'm not having this problem with diconfig. I do a fresh install with each new rev that is released, and the diconfig is fine. I don't know if this helps, but I have an older wii (bootmii/boot2). Also, when I tested metroid (NTSC-game partition only) it was on a nand that has lots of saves and I didn't get the looping issue.

well for me it is there and the correct size but all zeros up until the first game info

but if i use one from the regular di and let the new cDI update it its fine
just making it if it doesnt exist not sure why?
let me redo my nand and cDI install and ill give it another try

 

[obcd]

Your nand shouldn't really make a difference. The diconfig.bin is build from the games and wbfs folders. The only information stored in it coming from the nand is the region.information.
Only 1 or 2 bytes in the first 16 preceeding the game info should be non zero. They contain the number of installed games on the system. I will recheck the sources and see if I can find something in there.

 

[markehmus]

i always delete and rebuild (all files) from scratch with each revision.
but, since i was playing with friends, i just switched to an older revision to play games.

i can plug in a usbgecko, l8r tonite, to see if i can pinpoint my fails.

 

[obcd]

I have just tested my setup, and diconfig.bin is still created fine.
I don't find any differences in the latest sources Overjoy committed that might cause such problems either.
As I told before, only 2 bytes from the first 16 should be non zero. Unless you got more than 65535 games

 

[markehmus]

oneeku+di v4rc3 , just loaded, 1st try,
from the same nand that the last 2 revisions failed on for me.
(proveing again , i assume , that fails are normaly my own fault somehow. i wonder what i did different this time)

oh well , got-some gaming to do with my boys , thanx again, this is a great mod.

edit , playing tna impact ,just fine, converted from retail to wbfs.

Thanks, good to know.

To all: What other games do we need to fix?

 

[zizer]

Ultimate_Shooting_Collection_USA_Wii-VORTEX - black screen (nand 4.3E)
Shiren.the.Wanderer.USA.Wii-BiOSHOCK - black screen (nand 4.3E)
Sengoku_Basara_Samurai_Heroes-PAL-WII-DAGGER - error with autosave
Tales_of_Graces_v01_JAP_WII-STORMAN black screen
Radirgy_Noa_Wii_JPN_Wii-BAHAMUT black screen
Bleach_Versus_Crusade_JAP_WII-TMD eternal loading

 

[akari212]

Tales_of_Graces_v01_JAP_WII-STORMAN black screen
Radirgy_Noa_Wii_JPN_Wii-BAHAMUT black screen
Bleach_Versus_Crusade_JAP_WII-TMD eternal loading

Try Japan NAND. All these 3 games works for me. Just out of region Issue.

@OverJoy

How about you start to fix out of region games. Or maybe the one game that I still having problem on but optional:

Arc Rise Fantasia UNDUB Proper

At least we can avoid any problems with any UNDUB games.

Anyway, tested some games again:

Final Fantasy Fables : Chocobo Dungeon [EUR] = Works
Calling [USA] = Works
Kirby's Epic Yarn [USA] = Works
No more heroes 2 : Desperate Struggle [EUR] = Error, No more Space on Memory even if we had tons of free space on Wii's System Memory using USA NAND. And corrupted memory if you run it on EUR NAND.
Prince of Persia : The forgotten Sands [EUR] = Works
Wii Party [USA] = Works

cDI issue:
Random Infinite Spinning Disc and may cause to SM hangs. Background music is still playing.
Please Insert Disc message if you let it idle for about 10mins or longer (press + or - to move the channel back and forth to see it.)

Ultimate_Shooting_Collection_USA_Wii-VORTEX - black screen (nand 4.3E)
Shiren.the.Wanderer.USA.Wii-BiOSHOCK - black screen (nand 4.3E)

I have tested these two games with RC2 and they worked on my USA nand - this could be an out of region issue.

The only USA games that still aren't working for me are:

Sam & Max Season 1 - blackscreen
Little King's Story - blackscreen after wiimote screen

is it possible to give a little more details about this?
Could the problem when you let it idle be the harddisk that is going in suspend mode?

I dont know, it happens randomly. So I dont know what exactly cause it. And this only happens in RC3 and happens when you quit a game.
And for HDD, it's a self-powered Hard Drive using a 3.5inch 2TB SATA Desktop Hard Disk with Enclosure and obviously even if I leave it for many days with 0 activity, I never encountered this HDD that has spin-down.

It could be a timing issue calling DVDSelectGame to fast. Do more people have problems like this?

I usually wait for the game to show first in Disc Channel before pressing "1" key (access DI menu).

I found another game that used to work with v3 betas but not with the latest RC3:

Metroid Prime 3 - After the wiimote screen, it goes to a black loading screen that never ends. The wiimote still works, however, so you can power off the wii.

I have occasionally experienced what akari has described, but only after testing lots of games (15 - 20 games), so I never really thought about it.
