the Channel version updates are the same as the Forwarder Channel updates with "Update Dol" or "Update All" not with any updates of the Wad itself for revision 644, why is that?

You cant update a preinstalled WAD, its on the wii memory and you need a WAD manager to change them. Update DOL updates the file homebrew file on the SD card. The Forwarder is a channel which loads up the homebrew app off the SD card.

^Wrong^


The full channel is able to update itself after a certain revision. The issue seems to be that somebody (maybe even me) smooched the pooch when they put the wad on the update server. The channel thinks it is a dol and not a channel. To fix this the easiest, just compile a dol that thinks it is a channel and make the rev# lower than the one on the update server. then run this dol and use the update feature. it will grab the wad from the server and install it and you'll be all set.

Well you shut my mouth, good to know. But isnt the Forwarder the better way to go?

I uninstalled then reinstalled the Channel version but it only updates to r633 anything higher than r633 requires "Update DOL or Update All"

I think the line should read: homebrew_coords = 320, 399 (this is really just a guess on the coordinates)
At first I was entering: browser_coords = x, y but I believe pune told me the new line. The png is called browser but the coordinates line goes by homebrew.

This is probably a very noobish question, but I feel that I need to ask it. Will installing cIOSCORP allow me to play Metroid Prime through the GX Loader? If not, I guess I'll just use Gamma.

someone just posted a link to the game compatibility list on the previous page of this forum -- did you even look??

QUOTEMetroid Prime 3: Corruption Works NTSC-U RM3E01 4.12G Works fine with cIOS_rev12 and higher, no disk needed in the drive like before

Minor bug report
cIOS 249
r639

How to reproduce:
1 - Launch the loader
2 - Select a game and go into the game's settings
3 - Set Alternate DOL to DOL from disc
4 - Go into DOL from disc and press A

What happens:
You are unable to change any of the options at this time (selecting them does nothing) and if you click on one of the buttons (save | uninstall | back) the button will freeze and not perform its operation. I can click all three buttons in this way and freeze them all but afterward I can no longer do anything: the pointer and d-pad still function normally, but I can't change any of the options or use any of the buttons. The Home button on the wiimote doesn't do anything at this point and if I press the power button on the wiimote, it powers off the wiimote but the wii stays on. Only a hard shutdown works.

Once when I was trying to reproduce the bug, the first setting I tried to change forced an immediate save and then when I repeated steps 3 and 4, I got a core dump instead of the behavior described above.

Same thing is happening with me on rev 644 and cios 249 rev 13.
I have my alt dol path set to USB:/
loading alt dol from disc worked for me before on a previous version but I cannot seem to get it to work after the update all feature.
I trashed my config setting and tried to load different rev of loaders but all will freeze up when selecting the dol from disc by pressing A.
Is there a known way to fix this?
Also is there a way to turn off the HBC button while not using the childproof features?
Thanks...


Edit: I guess i got it working by deleting all the config files. weird that it didnt do it earlier.
Is there still a way to make the HBC icon disappear as i will not use it. I also dont want to enable parental control.
Thanks

Not to Prime 3, to the New Play Control! version of the original Prime. I know it doesn't work because it loads another IOS that doesn't support backups ans reboots, so would cIOSCORP allow it to go through with the reload and play, or will it make no difference?

(plz read the first post or the help page + FAQ page at the sitebefore asking)

People who cant load the loader or having some troubles
they should try to use .ELF
since .ELF is a lot more accurate in processing code​

Which cIOS version are you using? With rev 12+ I believe, you can only use the bottom (if your Wii is laying flat for example) USB socket.

 

[LCampoy8]

well the thing is... for some reason i cant install some of the DOL files so i don't even know if i have it. but i dont think i have rev 12.

btw i have a usb hard drive, would that wrok with uloader?

 

[Logan]

Not sure what you mean by cannot install the DOL files?

There is a HDD compatibility thread somewhere in these forums. See if your USB HDD is listed. Not all are compatible.

Is your HDD formatted to WBFS?

thanks for the link to changelog at http://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/source/list
yes i was using http://usbloadergx.koureio.net/downloads/revisions which isn't currently up to date

one question/request ? for devs..

is it possible to remove the two shutdown options - i would like users to always properly power off so my hdd spins down, don't ever need the other type of shutdown - so could the two choices perhaps please be replaced by a simple ok/cancel shutdown confirmation? perhaps this could be make an option ('simple shutdown'?)
2nd part of this: you added a screensaver option which is great, any chance of an idle power off option aswell so e.g. 5 minutes to screensaver, 30 minutes to power off?

my other question is a bit OT..
is it possible to get an HBC app to launch wiiware WADs (installed or on SD)? i have the wii autobooting into usbloadergx and wonder if there's any way to play wiiware games without going back to system menu?
also: can other channels like the mii editor channel be launched from an hbc app?
