Hi,

i've a problem to compile the rev 943.

i compile the rev 940 succesfuly

but with rev 943 i recive an error while i'm compiling...

i've already updated the new lib

libogc_R4316_15-09-2010

so rev940 has been compiled without problems

but with the last rev943 i've this error

how can i fix this error ?!?

Thanks a lot for help.

Thanks again.

You can try to compile 942, if it's working it's good enough.
943 only change the way USBGecko is sending data to computer. If you don't need USBgecko, I think you won't miss a crucial feature

It's only for Gecko send to not wait answer from the computer, it mainly prevent the loader to wait/seems to hang with a blackscreen at startup if the USBGecko is plugged but no reader on the computer was started (Am I right ?)

 

[overjet]

thanks a lot a compile r942 and i'll waiting a new rev to compile.

WOW, new revisions by Domik and Giantpune. This is really great news, best thing that could happen. I hope they are back for good. Last week I decided to change to Wiiflow but if development of GX continues I will definitely use that loader again.

I have no idea how to compile the code. Any news on whether the team will relase dols again like they used to? Or maybe a guide on how to compile for non developers?

 

[Cyan]

I'm sure they will release dol for milestone revisions (like, after everything they wish to add in this update wave).
No need to release a dol for each minor changes (in my opinion). just wait patiently, and don't annoy them, you will have what you want

The last updates added the "back to HBC 1.0.8", corrected a bug in ocarina, and a better homebrew launcher.

What I would like to see again now is an option to set individually (or unset it for problematic games like PoP) "back to loader" when exiting a game. In the meanwhile I'm using 927.

Ps : it's Dimok

 

[petspeed]

Thanks. Really excited about this, I am looking forward to trying the new revs. I would also like to see the "back to loader" feature again as a globat setting with the option to override it for individual games.

Yeah I know it's Dimok, just a typo

 

[myron0815]

ah well.
some long awaited refactoring is going on

Log message r944

*Mem2 fix
*updated libntfs (write fix)
*updated libfat
*lots of changes in the startup code, removed almost everything. This might
cause problems for some drives at loading the gamelist and needs to be adjusted
later but better this time. more cleanup is needed in main.cpp and will come.
*using libogc sd/usb for config loading and reload to cIOS afterwards
*added missing boothomebrew stuff pune forgot

NOTE: From now on we will be doing a lot of revs which we won't be compiling and
releasing. This revs are officially not available for public so don't making
issues regarding those revs. Those will be closed right away. We need first to
cleanup a lot of crap and update loader to new standards before releasing stuff
again.

(that describes my svn conflicts as i tried to upgrade the same libs

- (but taking me ages))

compile

 

[Cyan]

Even if compiling would work, you won't be able to launch games (it seems it's a libogc related problem).
That's why there's no dol released, they will release compiled .dol when it's stable enough.

I think this development method let more people work on the latest version of the code instead of working separately and starting something which will be changed by another developer before submitting your own work.

 

[overjet]

the rev 944 doesn't work.

Exception (DSI) occurred!

 

[Cyan]

Thank you for reading my previous post saying it will NOT work.
And this is why there is no provided official .dol .... It's because it's NOT working. The updates are not complete, the developers know it. they even said some HDD would not be recognize anymore.
please, wait until the developers provide official builds. thank you.

 

[overjet]

i'll waiting a stable version.

 

[overjet]

Someone know what lib i have to use to compile the stable version r921 or some way to modify the dol of the version r921 ?!?

i try compiling

it's work.

compile rev 946

Curious, can I add game covers without connecting to the internet? I checked out the cover folder on the SD and it seems simple enough but I'm not sure how to figure out the code name for all my games

 

[Cyan]

there's 2 possibilities :

1) in the loader, put the cursor over the coverbox, you will have the Title ID printed (you should have "show Title ID" in the preferences).
But it will be way too long to write them one by one.

2) you can generate a Wiitdb.zip with your computer containing all the games data.
in the game list : push 2 to show a game info, then push 1 to generate a .txt with Wiitdb URL.

You will have all the Title ID in this file.
you will have to save all the covers/disc manually though.
The URL downloads only the Wiitdb.zip containing the title.xml which have all the title's name/info. Put this Wiitdb.zip in your "wiitdb" path defined in the preferences and set the loader to use it.

 

[synce]

Thanks Cyan, very helpful

 

[giantpune]

even easier, click the text that says "100 games" or whateven and it will let you save a txt or csv list. no need to dig through an xml file then.

Hey Guys

Trying to get this to work

I have a External 160GB HDD formatted with WBFS 3.0.

I have a Pal Wii 4.2E with current IOS in the MM Manager displays current: IOS236V65535

I tried this and it looks for the USB and cannot find it. Do I need to install another IOS file for it to detect?

Thanks
