Hacking USB Loader GX

[OncleJulien]

Should I use cIOS38 rev13a intead of rev13b?
yes

QUOTE(cme @ Jul 6 2009, 02:19 PM) Another question is how do I see the Wii m+ tutorial videos in games like tiger woods or grand slam tennis if using USB Loader GX? Using the disc i can see the videos.

how many times do you need to see it before youve learned how to plug it in?

Hi All,

I just hit the "Update All" button on my usb loader gx and now I get a "Exception DSI Occured" error with a black screen.

I'm using cIOS38_rev13a on a 4.0e softmodded wii.

I updated as the loader was a little flakey at recognising my Maxtor 200gb external hd and the changelogs since the version I had indicated that the update might fix it. Should I have just updated the dol when given the option on screen or was I right to click the update all?

Any suggestions would be great.

Huwie.

Sorry to quote myself but my post got gobbled up by discussions about covers and hdd fat...

Can someone please point me in the right direction - I need to uninstall the latest update to the loader, or uninstall the loader completely. I've tried loading an old version of the loader over the top from SD but this hasn't worked, I get a black screen loading the loader...

replacing the boot dol with an older revision is all thats required, but if you want to give your gx that 'oh so fresh feeling', then delete the config folder and let whatever dol you choose to use recreate it.

Thanks for the answers mate!

Why should I use rev13a instead of rev13b? I can only see people saying that should use rev13a but I wonder why? Can't get this answer...
Rev13b is working OK for me except the thing that I need to switch off - on if I wan't to play another game!

if b is working for you, then by all means continue on with it...but its pretty much universally known to break more things than it purports to fix.

feel free to tinker though, nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I guess I'm stupid, but how do I make usb loader gx download the box/disc art?

Click on "no cover" image or press 1 but loader has to be unlocked to download covers.

OK I found out why my games would only play if I have playcount>1. It was because of rev13b!!!

Next question, what is this hermes 222 or 223? Should I install it?

Can someone help me to understand the Hermes 222 IOS or why you would change the IOS USB LOader GX uses from 249?

I'm running SM4.0, rev10, and USB Loader GX 5something off SD. I have over 100 games including all the supposed problem ones like Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones. They all work perfectly. The most I've ever had to do is play around with the 002/anti 002 fix setting to make the game work.

I just trying to figure out why you would need Hermes or why you would want to change the IOS from 249. Have i just not run into these games or is this something specific to certain hardware revisons of the Wii?

Question.
Do you need to have a modchip installed to copy a backup game from the Wii drive to the USB loader ext HDD?

Thanks

 

[giantpune]

no but you need to read the stickies. for some reason your wii wont load this app unless you have read the stickies.

Thanks for the response, but I'm looking for more information than that. I'm curious about this because I've 'softmodded' dozens of PS2s and XBOX1s and they all work exactly the same. If I have HDLoader 0.8b on one and you have to set mode3 to make a game work, its the same for every other PS2.

Why is it different with the Wii?

I softmodded my 4.0 using Bannerbomb and used cIOS38_rev13a Installer. I read that cIOS38_rev13b causes you to have to turn off your wii to play a different game. Problem is that I have 13a installed and I have to turn off my Wii to play a 2nd game or all I get is a black screen. Any help?

80% of all hacked Wiis were not all hacked the same way. There's 1000 different guides telling noobs to do 1000 different things to their systems. Different sysmenus, different cIOS revisions installed which have different fixes and different bugs... I personally use use cIOS 222 installed as 37 merge 36 globally for all but two of my games and those two games get booted with cIOS 249 rev 12 because it has the "no disc in drive fix" and because it doesn't have the hard reset bug that rev 13 has. For some reason USB Loader GX would go to black screen if I set it globally to 249 and then tried to boot an individual game with 222. I flipped them and now everything boots perfectly. So that's what I mean by different strokes for different folks. Some people have no problem with 249, some do.

Does Conduit work on this? It just shows black screen for me.
Im using 13a with the latest GX rev.
Ghostbusters works just fine for me.

Not sure you really got your answer on the HERMES CIOS 222/223. Hermes CIOS from what I understand is basically an alternative to CIOS 249. It also includes a basic function to stop hard drive spin-downs (which works, but I can't confirm how long it actually works). CIOS 223 (Merging IOS 60 w/ 36 --I believe) allows USB instrument support on the second USB slot. But basically it is a preference thing. I have been experimenting with the CIOS 222/223 to try to get my hard drive to stop spinning down as I have an old hard drive, and it doesn't have APM that I can modify.

The Conduit works just fine on rev581 and Cios36rev10 installed. By the game settings just set 002fix anti.
