Hacking USB Loader GX

[Hooya]

I don't think posting the dols to these games is legal and/or allowed by the rules. For those of you that made the original posts with the links I'd suggest removing them. Let the mods take care of those in quotes.

If you can't figure out how to extract the dols yourself I don't know how you got this far...

@skedone

I also use Ubuntu and encountered the same problem. After trying with wiiscrubber 1.0 everything worked fine (wine).

I received a number pf PMs asking how I got Medal of Honor Heroes 2 working - here's how:

A "How To" For running Medal of Honor Heroes 2 from USB Loader GX:

Download and install USB Loader GX in apps (should use the forwarder if you want a channel)
http://usbloadergx.koureio.net/

Make certain you have cIOS38_rev13a installed.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m2g2xzidqvt

Manually update to r528.dol (r529 is wack*) (rename to boot.dol and put in usbloader_gx folder in apps)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kykvwrzyr5f

Open Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (MoH H2) iso in wiiscrubber
http://www.mediafire.com/?omnztny0hyw

Extract "game.dol" in partition one to your desktop

Rename "game.dol" to the 6 char game ID (RM2E69.dol for NTSC)

Copy the renamed dol to the root dir of your SD card

Install MoH H2 iso to your WBFS partition

Launch USB Loader GX, click on MoH H2, click settings, choose to use alternate dol, save, click back and play the game.

*Alternate dol on r529 did not work for this game. Also... r529 would not run ANY games without the 002 fix enabled

Just a correction (I hope you do not mind): Extract "game.dol" in 2nd partition to your desktop

It depends which version of wii scrubber you are using. In 1.3 update is in 1 data is in 2 - in 1.4 update is in 0 data is in 1

I edited the post pointing this out and provided a link to wiiscrubber 1.4

I deleted a game through the loader and now all my games just go to a blank screen. I have tried CIOS 10, 12, 13A and 13B and none are working. They were working just fine, but I'm not sure if deleting the game caused the problem or not. I am using rev 528. Can anyone help.

Thanks

After a little more research it was deleting a game through the USB loader that corrupted my WBFS drive. I had to use WBFS Intelligent GUI to determine which games were corrupted, extract all the good ones to my PC, and reformat and readd all the games via the WBFS Manager. I will not be deleting any games through the GX loader anymore.

 

[giantpune]

The function to delete games from WBFS is the same for every application. It is written in the wbfs from Waninkoko himself.

Spoiler

s32 WBFS_RemoveGame(u8 *discid)
{
s32 ret;

/* No device open */
if (!hdd)
return -1;

/* Remove game from USB device */
ret = wbfs_rm_disc(hdd, discid);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;

return 0;
}

And when you press the delete button in our loader...

Spoiler

if (deleteBtn.GetState() == STATE_CLICKED)
{
int choice = WindowPrompt(
LANGUAGE.Doyoureallywanttodelete,
gameName,
LANGUAGE.Yes,LANGUAGE.Cancel,0,0);

if (choice == 1)
{
ret = WBFS_RemoveGame(header->id);
if (ret < 0)
{
WindowPrompt(
LANGUAGE.Cantdelete,
gameName,
LANGUAGE.ok,0,0,0);
}
else {
//__Menu_GetEntries();
WindowPrompt(
LANGUAGE.Successfullydeleted,
gameName,
LANGUAGE.ok,0,0,0);
retVal = 1;
}
break;
}
else if (choice == 0)
{
deleteBtn.ResetState();
optionBrowser3.SetFocus(1);
}

}

Deleting a game from our loader, Wanin's loader, windows, linux, or your toaster if it had WBFS support will all call the same function. There is something that you have overlooked.

Have added Hermes 222 and 223 alongside Waninko's 13a. When I use 222 as default cIOS it seems that 002fix is not working. Anyone else noticing this, or is this maybe a known fact?

I can't boot certain games with 222 as well so I think it's a known fact.

 

[sweenish]

will the alternate dol loading make sam and max playable from usb, or is that still being worked on?

I believe ALT DOLs only work with games that reboots the Wii when starting the game in some sort (reloading a ios), the gams that just goes to black screen = not the same issue.

 

[sweenish]

sam and max does exactly that, though. it reloads its own ios.

but i suppose i can wait until a fix comes out.

has it already been discussed about whether or not something like an ocarina cheat can bypass the ios reload and make the game playable? the ds guys do it all the time, using a cheat code to bypass anti-piracy until a firmware update is released.

so does COD3

I also noticed it doesn't work. No I don't know why, and I can't fix it. Just use 1.3 - there's no reason you must use 1.4.

1 or more of cIOS 249rev9 or greater,

I got the channel loader working + others working with cIOS 249rev5 and all seems OK.

Should I be looking to upgrade this cIOS? If yes, to which version?

 

[Hooya]

You should update to rev13 (not 13b) if you want the most game compatibility. There is one bug: quitting a game and attempting to load a new one will cause the loader to freeze. The simplest way to get around the bug is to turn the Wii off (from the remote is fine) to quit your game, then turn the Wii back on.

 

[bootsector]

Instead of turning the Wii on/off via the remote, you can also press HOME on the remote then select RESET instead of Wii Menu
