Hacking USB Loader GX

[R2-D2199]

I changed the revisionsnumber of my cIOS249 to 65535 to prevent that it
will be overridden by nintendo, but the USB Loader GX doesn't work with
that revisionsnumber.
I found out that in the main.cpp:

CODEif (!(ios222rev==4 || ios222rev==5 || (ios249rev>=9 && ios249rev=9 && ios249rev!=65280)))[/code]

sorry for my bad english

 

[OuahOuah]

Tried to load a game and get a "hd num sector doesn't match and freeze.
Any clue ?

First of all, it would be:
CODEif (!(ios222rev==4 || ios222rev==5 || (ios249rev>=9 && ios249rev

Hallo folks.

I´m just using Rev.630 of USB-Loader GX and it just runs fine.

But i read about a feature in newer Revisons that it is possible to exit from a game directly back to the USB-Loader.
(Which is indeed a usefull thing to have...)

So i tried Rev.937, but it doesn´t work. The games go back to the Wii-Menu. (I should mention that I use the UNEO-Forwarder to launch GX)

But if I launch GX through the Homebrew-Channel, everything is fine!! I tried a few games and all of them exits back to the USB-Loader GX!!

So, is it a bug or did I miss something?

Kind regards
Jimpex

I posted this in the Hacking section, but no response, so I'll re-post it here...

MY WBFS partition on my HDD is no longer recognised and I think I know what the problem was...


USB loader GX froze while loading a game.

I turned Wii off.

Went on here to find out what happened.


Apparently USB loader-GX can ruin WBFS partitions =S



Can someone please say if there is a way to get my data back?
When I go into USB-GX it says "No WBFS or FAT/NTFS partition found" but on the next screen sees two partitions.

The first is my homebrew FAT, the second is what used to be my WBFS.

When I select the first one, USB-GX loads but shows no games.
When I select the second one, I get a code dump.


All other loaders say that there is no WBFS drive found.


I have tried CFG loader, Neogammer and uLoader



Am I fucked?

Well, if CFG doesn't see the WBFS partition I'm positive that GX messed up your partition and you've lost all the data from it

Try using wbfs manager and hook it up to your pc then see if wbfs manager sees any files on it then you can copy stuff to your pc or copy to your wbfs harddrive.

Maybe you can try wwt to check for your WBFS ISO's validity

if it can't find the WBFS partition, maybe that's the Magic which is bad.
If you don't know what Magic is, maybe you better not try to correct it yourself (it's writing manually the type of partition at the start of the partition, you could mess more data from other HDD), but if you still want to take you chance, HxD allow you to edit your HDD internal data manually, so you can reconstruct the header (you can loose everything too).

Where did this info come from? I've been using GX since day one and have not had a single issue with my wbfs partition.

It was removed again in rev 931.

Are you sure??

Why does it work if i start the loader from the Homebrewchannel??

 

[shrimpkebab]

so i updated from 927 to 937 for the prince of persia fix, but then no games boots, so i reverted back to 927.
Does 937 need the new hermes cios 5.1? or what am i doing wrong?

 

[MeTRoD]

I have a question that's probably already been answered but, nevertheless:
when you click on a game in your gameslist on USB loader GX, you can hear the channel intro (for example Mario shouting "Super Mario GALAXYYY!!"), but isn't it possible to see the intro as well?

Delete all of your config files and try again.

i am having some problems with usb loader GX (latest).The problem is it randomly "crashes" rendering the loader unusable, i am unable to select anything in the program and have to reset. i have tried moving the covers to my HDD, with no real effect still randomly crashes. the problem seems to be able to be fixed when i delete all the covers and re download them, a real PITA. My Wii is on 4.2 and 249rev19 soft modded using the simplistic guide. i would like some help to be able to fix this permanently or is this just a common problem with usb loader GX, thanks in advanced

Tried that now. Same problem with 937, cant start any games. Reverted back to 927 and it works again.
Guess the newer revision is bugged, ill wait for a fix.

 

[Cyan]

you can try 935 for PoP fix included, or 932 for PoP fix but with .Wip file needed.

I'm currently using 935, with IOS249 v17
Pop worked fine, and I just finish the game, but I missed many heroic challenges, I wanted the Original Prince of Persia levels, and I didn't unlock the videos, and clothes, etc. (and Ocarina is for US version ;p, and Wiird never hooked)

I'll try latest (937) for gecko hook,
or maybe my USBgecko driver is bad ? it's working with GeckoOS, but not hooking with either neogamma and usbGX when running after game launching.

 

[Gaiaknight]

all 100 of my games load fine using 937 and CiosRev19 57 base including PoP.
