Hacking TriiForce beta testing

[WiiPower]

I've read in a few places, people having a problem with getting a "I can't get file list" error trying to load Triiforce.
Recently, my old drive died on me (which ran Triiforce perfectly) and when I set up my replacement drive, lo and behold "can't get file list". Nothing I seemed to do would get it to recognize the NAND in Triiforce.
I tried a third drive. Same problem.
After a lot of experimenting, I noticed an option in the formatting and partitioning of drives called "Partition Map Scheme". By default, my machine (a mac) was setting this to "GUID Partition Table". I figured "What harm could it do? It already doesn't work." and changed that to "Master Boot Record".
Very next try, Triiforce works great.

I figured I would throw this out there for anyone else who runs into my problem, since I searched for 2 days and couldn't find an answer online.


Edit: Actually, trying it with the second drive didn't help. No idea why one magically detects now and the other one doesn't.

Well as far as i know you can read drives with this "GUID Partition Table" in operating systems that support it, Windows XP is not one of them. So if the "almighty" WinXP can't read the drive, don't expect your gaming console to do. I'm just posting this in case somebody gets here by Google.

That might help explain why my mac-formatted GUID drive was having trouble showing up in Triiforce.
Maybe I'll try reformatting the second drive again in Windows and see if that does get it to show up in Triiforce.

yo triiforce should be updated to be compatable with ciosx rev 18. triiforce rev 76 was workin fine till i updated the cios. just heads up.

 

[metroid4life14]

Wanin already stated that he made a triiforce fix for cIOSx rev18...

 

[WiiPower]

Just to be clear, i think he said there is a little bug in the cIOS that prevents TriiForce to work with it.

I am new to this nand dump thing, can you dump a nand if bootmii says ISO only

 

[XFlak]

yes, u can make a nand dump if u have bootmii installed as boot2 OR as IOS (not ISO)

There are 2 kinds of nand dumps. BootMii creates one big binary file when dumping the nand, but TriiForce wants the files from nand as files on a FAT partition.

After you dump the nand get this tool ---> http://wiibrew.org/wiki/ShowMiiWads

It will extract your nand so Triiforce can use it. It also has a list display of everything inside with sooo many features so read the read me. You can use ShowMiiWads for installing, removing and changing content on the nand EG WiiWare or VC for use with Triiforce, it also makes dealing with saves etc easier too.

Is this going to work / does it already work with cIOSX?

 

[Jaz808]

All good now thx guys, needed 0.41/0.42 of SFSD and Beta-7.r76 as beta-7 from first post didnt give me the Emu option

Hmmm

...
WaninkokoTriiforce is broken, yeah. Triiforce works perfectly under rev18 with some proper fixes.

I guess Waninkoko is talking about the new "usb2" path applied on the new cIOS.
I suppose that Triiforce should be adapted to the new path in order to "fix" that bug

...

See ya!

No. Triiforce already has the correct EHCI module path.
He said that before testing anything, then he discovered it was a cIOS bug (that he already fixed). We will have to wait for a new version.

TriiForce has no ehci path at all. Which leads to the question: Would usb 2.0 storage init help the usb compatibility?

I found it at usbstorage.c. Isn't it the EHCI path?

Sorry, i don't see an usbstorage.c in TriiForce's source.

Oh, nice... Forget me...

That was the code for saving data to USB that I added on my mod. The ISFS functions didn't work correctly.

Dare I say maybe then my USB 2.0 1.5TB WD drive would work? o: x:

Thanx for this great project
Please add better support for new cIOS
