Hacking USB Loader GX

[retKHAAAN]

This info is in tj_cool's ReadMii:

NOTES:

-You can have cIOS36/38 and cIOS222/223 installed at the same time. Every version has its own (dis)advantages.

-If your global cIOS is 249 and you set an individual game's cIOS to 222/223, it will not always work. This is a bug in cIOS 249. On the other hand, if you set your global boot to 222 and set an individual boot to 249, it will work fine every time.

-If you change your global boot cIOS you need to completely exit out of the loader and restart it in order for the change to take effect. If you do not do this you will get a black screen. It is also necessary to delete your GXgamesettings.cfg file from your config folder on your SD/USB to prevent any setting conflicts since anything in GXgamesettings.cfg overrides the GXglobal.cfg file.

-Setting your global boot to 222 (installed as 37 merge 36) and setting your global 002fix to ANTI will result in 99% compatibility with no glitching/stuttering on IN REGION games. For OUT OF REGION games you need to also set the Video Mode to AUTOPATCH. The 1% non-compatibility is from the "please insert disc" games. However, those games are fully playable by simply inserting any dvd into your drive (I just stick a blank one in) OR by loading those specific games with cIOS 249 rev 12 or higher.

-Make sure you always delete the 00000001 folder from the root of your SD/USB before doing any network installation of cIOS 222/223. If you install cIOS 222 as just 36, you will still get the same glitches found in cIOS 249 rev 14. 37 merge 36 is necessary.

Is there a list of these "insert disk games"
Also do you have some specific examples of what the "same glitches" are?
And do you only recommend 36 merge 37 'cos of the USB instrument support or is there additional reasons?

Insert Disc Games (that I know of, i'm sure there are more)
- Metroid Prime 3
- De Blob
- Deadly Creatures

Specific glitch examples:
- The Conduit Multiplayer menus lagging/freezing
- Stuttering FMVs at random places in SSBB

Why I recommend 37 merge 36:
Because I tested every single possible install and the 37 merge 36 install corrected the glitches I found above. The USB instrument support had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was purely for performance reasons and can be verified by many more users than myself.

You can also suggest other options (List available dols is also one of the options)

OK, I'm just trying to figure out what may be the best I don't have an of the insert disc games (or none on that list and none that I have needed it), the reason I ask about the 37 merge 36 is 'cos personally running rev2 36 as 222 I don't have any of those issues, but with rev3 36 as 222 I have issues with my HDD spinning down and SSBB freezing, I will try rev 3 36 merge 37 (but I had tried that in the past and still experienced freezing on SSBB, just not the HDD spinning down, tho now I have a different HDD).

i am having freezing issue with Muramasa The Demon Blade. Below is my setup:

3.2U
cIOS r13b
USB Loader r715

The freezes seem random, it comes up when i am moving to the next area. the whole screen will stay black and there's a high pitch constant noise. i can't do anything other than turn off the wii by holding down the power button on the console.

can anyone help me trouble shoot?

Don't know for sure, but I'm running it with cIOS 223, and haven't seen any problems. Might want to give that a try?

Very helpful. I think we'll just leave it alone with suggestions like that.

When I launch UsbLoader Gx r721, I push the "1" button of the wiimote on a cover, and the "2" button on a cover :

Try deleting your config files and then load again.

Hi this is my 2 cents. I run GX straight from bootup via preloader, cios 249 rev 14, hermes rev 4, 4.1e, 640gig maxtor hdd. I am able to run all of the so called problem games with my current setup. GH5, RB :Beatles etc no problems with any games. My global boot is 249 and I have just set the games that need it to 222 or 223. All my instruments and mics work too.

Oh yeah always use the latest rev of GX too.

can someone point me to the hermes install guide please ?

Hi,

Clic on the picture, please !

r721 takes long to boot and initialize the hard drive.

Is it me, my hard drive or the new rev ? (it was booting in 2 or 4 sec before).

 

[earthworm]

Yeah.....I was having lot's of trouble with code dumps when I went to start a game.....I wiped the config files and no more code dumps

I'm not sure why it worked but it did!

 

[earthworm]
