Hacking TriiForce beta testing

[sr_corsario]

I'm pretty sure you are having this problem because you have preloader installed. I was seeing "???" with preloader installed, but when I uninstalled preloader and replaced it with StartPatch, the names of my wiiware games were displayed.

Well... i had preloader installed time ago... but i unistall it with some aplication (dont remember wich one) However could be possible preloaded installed on nand dump xD for this reason your solution could be right.

Thanks anyway for your solution.

i want to say again, only vc/wiiware will show up so

 

[cwstjdenobs]

I don't have much VC or WiiWare but everything I've tried has worked so far, from real NAND or SD and USB. I have preloader and I'm not having any problems. Everyone having them, have you checked your wad sets with clrmamepro or the likes?

I can see why you haven't yet, but for the 1.0 release are you planning on this being able to do the NAND dump to SD/USB, or are you going to leave this to the user as a 'barrier to entry'?

I have one of these ??? channels too but i think it´s because it´s a japanes game and
Japanese games using other characters and you can´t show these characters in a console

tried to launch FFCC Life as a Darklord out of usb nand and ended up getting a Disc Read error message telling me to eject disc and restart my wii.... same result whether I had a disc in drive or not, not sure whats up with that.

Bonks Adventure VC booted fine though, this app definitely has great potential, once all the lock up issues with running from emulated nand are solved this will be great! Even better if down the road someone managed to merge this code into a usb loader, would be fantastic!

Took me a second to put together that I could scroll over, when it was displaying "???" for the first several channels (my emu forwarders), but once I figured that out, it loaded Ninja Gaiden Arcade flawlessly from emulated NAND.
No time for further testing this morning, but I'll try a bunch more in a day or two.

WARNING~

Newfag postin'

So let me get this staight: as of right now, TriiForce currently allows:

Emulation of the Wii's internal NAND, which in turn allows us to load channels (currently only VC/WiiWare) from a USB or SD card.

In the future, it could allow a mixed load from disc channel to allow us to place all our save games also on a USB or SD card, eliminating the need to even touch the real NAND.

Posting in an Epic Thread

Now, newfag questions!

What filetype does the USB device require? I'm assuming FAT32 or NTFS (i'm hoping NTFS works). I dont see it being WBFS 'cause i havent found any way to access WBFS partition files directly but i may just be missing a small program to do that (or can FTPii access and chance files there?)

does the 42 channel limit still exist during emulated NAND if running games from the USB? Will triforce only be able to have up to 42, or can i install all of my VC/WiiWare games? (i'm sitting around 60)


Will having other files on the USB drive cause issues, assuming i have the loadstructure for Triiforce correct? (in other words, do i need a whole new partition on my drive for this)

 

[WiiPower]

No mixing up with the disc channel. Devices need to be FAT. And currently we have a limit of 255 titles, we are too lazy to change it right now.

FAT32 or FAT , NO wbfs or ntfs

it doesnt have any limit so theoretical you could install 10000000 channel's

normally it shouldnt give any problem

 

[kedest]

will this loader eventually be able to also run channels from the front-sd slot (that where put there by sysmenu 4.0/4.1)?
Because now it does list those channels, but can't run them.

Crystal Defenders R1 worked fine from usb nand, maybe darklord is just a trouble maker

thanks Wiipower

 

[Kleiner]

thanks for the information. looks like i need a new flash drive, or another partition on my external HDD. My external HDD currently has an NTFS and a WBFS partition. If i add a FAT32 partition, will TriiForce recognize the proper partition to use?

 

[nicksasa]

not

 

[Kleiner]

Woah, why the hostility?

i'm asking a valid question. Alot of basic information hasn't been provided here. YES it's still in beta but before I go installing shit on my Wii, i want to know if it's even worth my time to participate in testing it.

My question is simple.

If my external has multiple partitions, will TriiForce recognize the FAT32 partition?

 

[jurai]

I'm using it with a WBFS partition and a FAT32 partition, so yeah I think it will if you set the fat32 partition as active

 

[nicksasa]

Kleiner that post wasnt for you ment

 

[kLiNiKaL]

can i just place a nand.bin on my usb/sd or am i missing something here?

 

[jurai]

nand emulator doesn't use bootmii nand dumps.

 

[Kleiner]

thanks jurai for the answer!

Also, nicknasa, no hard feelings. my bad, i thought you were yelling at me D:

 

[nicksasa]

we want those people that got "No disc inserted" error on a vc game to give us info of even join #triiforce on freenode if possible
otherwise we cant fix it
