Hacking USB Loader GX

[Hielkenator]

I added this to NeoGamma's code when i found out that this was required to get Sam & Max to work from disc with cioscorp/patched to use IOS249 discs. And that is why i called it Sam & Max fix, while it should be just next to all the other stuff that's written into the memory, without any comment.

This was years ago, and none of the other devs was really listening to me, because "meh our precious cIOS rev15 and 16 return 001 errors with it". While those cIOS are actually broken, because they produce 001 error if this is activated. This is also the reason why a cioscorp with rev15 or 16 as base doesn't work(001 error on half games).

It's highly likely that the CSI games also require this code, because those games are IOS Reloading games that reload their main.dol. While most IOS Reloading games load other .dols.

Ok thanks for clearing that.

So there will be a fix?
Usb loader GX will have the compatibilty as all the other loaders then?

Yes, see the beta issue thread.

The block reload IOS games that worked for me in rev 1085 are now not working on R1087!

More specifically those games reset the machine as was the case prior to D2X5!

What games are not working that worked before? The few I've tried (Sam & Max 2, CSI:Fatal Conspiracy, CSI:Hard Evidence) are all working fine for me.

Yep those were fixed in latest revmod, R1087

I think he means MPT, COD 3, Redsteel etc.

sorry don't have any Sam & Max or CSI games...I meant COD3 and House of the Dead 2!

What is the base for the cIOS you are useing to run CSI:Fatal?
Has anyone else gotten CSI games to work?

I just played HOD2 and COD3 and threw in CSIeadly Intent for good measure.

I'm using d2x v6 beta1(base 56) with the EHCI fix and r1087mod (linked only from the beta thread, but r1087 should work fine too) of usbloadergx.

 

[Hielkenator]

To the devs. I think USBL Gx looks the best by far, has the easiest and most usable interface.
Hpefully this will be updated frequently soon again.
With support of the D2X cios, I think it's the most complete loader ( except from sd.)
Awesome job.

Quite on par with CFG loader.

This is my configuration:
- USB Loader GX r1087 Fix
- 249[56] cIOSX rev21 d2x v6 beta1
- 250[57] cIOSX rev21 d2x v6 beta1

These are the games that now work with the IOS Reload block:
1) CSI: Deadly Intent
2) CSI: Fatal Cospiracy

I tested USBLoaderGX r1087Fix and cIOSX d2x v6 Final:
It works fine for me!
I hope for a new release r1088.

 

[G@meP@d]

R1088 is out:

CHANGELOG:
*Added a global block IOS reload option which is set default to "Auto" (Auto = on d2x cIOS >= V6 enabled, every other cIOS disabled)
*Fix for some IOS Reload games
*Updated libext2fs
*Updated libntfs
*Updated language files

Great job! I've always had a sweet spot for gx, and now it seems to support pretty much all the latest tricks

the only thing missing (that i can see, i didnt see it in the changelog) would be a return to channel feature but oh well. No biggie.

Definitely gonna try the new version out tomorrow.

Return to Channel wasn't in this changelog because it was implemented several revs ago (r1081, to be exact). Has categories too. I'll use no other loader...(nor do I need to).

The return to channel has been working pretty well for a while now on GX and it's selectable in settings, unlike CFG USB Loader which requires you to edit the config file.

BTW, my previous problems with R1087 with HOTD2 and COD3 have been fixed by using the D2XV6 (final).

Yeah, return to is very old.
it was already there on r924 then been removed because Prince of Persia didn't work with it.
Then it came back in r954 as a user option.
in r1081 it's only using the return function from d2x instead of the usual patching method when using other cIOS.

Wasn't sure if someone could answer my question here...

I used the guide in this link to modify my Wii: http://gbatemp.net/t171901-modify-any-wii-4-3-below

I would like to start using USB Loader GX but I'm not entirely sure which version to download to go about setting it up. It appears they have different versions for different IOS? Total newb when it comes to this sort of stuff, but was able to mod my Wii using the wonderful guide on this site.

Any help would be appreciated, or for someone to just point me in the direction of what I need to do.

Thanks in advance!

I think, the best solution is "USB Loader GX r1088-IOS249" + "cIOSX d2x v6 Final".

Nope, sorry.
I didn't check it yet.

I just tried following the method I gave few pages ago, with setting a new theme and using the font from savegameManagerGX, and I got the code dump too.

Then, I tried placing font.ttf in apps/usbloader_gx/ folder (not in a sub-folder), and it worked. no need to set a specific theme.
