Again with rev838 I have the same issues.AbdallahTerro,do you have any ideas why is this happening only on these two games?

 

[FIX94]

Do you use d2x beta r52 or r53? I personally prefer r53 since its faster for me, but for some people r52 works better...

Again with rev838 I have the same issues.AbdallahTerro,do you have any ideas why is this happening only on these two games?

I would delete wiiflow.ini gamesconfig files in settings folder and try different setting (force video) or different IOs such as hermes v5.1,
trial and error

@ Fix94,I use beta 53 alt-vWii.It is weird because I tried all of my games and work perfectly except these two.

@ AbdallahTerro,I use vWii so,I cannot try Hermes v.5.1.I already tried forced ios with no luck and also edited wiiflow.ini to force block ios.But I will try as soon as possible to delete the file you sueggested and I will report back!

edit: I just deleted gameconfig files from the settings folder and now EVERYTHING works perfectly!

Fix94 and AbdallahTerro THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

here is r838

Thanks for all the work and improving wiiflow massively (fixing sd nand stuff was huge)
I found one bug testing r838,
if you have the game partition set on "sd" and nand on sd, game save and full nand emulation doesn't work. Just get a blackscreen when I try to load the game.
I tried nsmb off sd r822 and have tried with r838 but it will only load if nand emulation is off.
This only happens with games partition on sd.

Seems like its no loader issue, davebaol just sent me that:

Hey Hey!! That's not... entirely true >_> lol so far r838 is going well for me, partial emusave works great and launching all my e-NAND titles with no problem. Would love some feedback from others on how well emusave partial/full is doing.

So far full emunand save (the only one i use) works out well, used with r838 and D2X v8, no weird errors, hangs or dumps yet.
But then again, i dont need to report it here because i am on IRC too

Ok I thought this might have been a seperate problem with "games[sd]" nand emulation...
But read the link and thought about it more and understand.
The nand emulation only stopped working after i put one of my Wii games in sd/games folder and in wiiflow switched game partition from USB to SD (i was just interested to see wiiflow loading disc games off sd).
From reading the link im guessing that if I move my nand to USB then i should be able to load games off sd with nand emulation. I'll check this sometime soon just to make sure anyway.

And the only emuNand problem I have now is the "Nintendo channel" doesn't work, all the other system channels seems to work great.
I know i mentioned it before, can this be fixed do you know? It's not that I need the channel but just wondered if there is a way?

One other thing i noticed,
it seems to take a really long time to start wiiflow up from sd when no USB drive is plugged in?
(nsmb Wii in sd games and hbc)

WiiFlow doesn't update my Wii Message Board playlogs.

How can I make it do so?

I figured I would upload my wiiflow debug to see if anybody seen something wrong as to why I am getting 15 to 20 seconds of a black blank screen during startup times to load into wiiflow. I have just got wiiflow back to the basics right now with no games,plugins,etc just to see if it had anything to do with the startup
time and it did not. My sd card is pretty much empty with just wiiflow and a couple more apps. Thanks in advance.

Fledge, would be cool if you could check my work now.

just got home, can't compile it or try it right now but after examining the code and using c++ reference to figure out the stuff i'm not used to - all looks good. It should be working fine. Thanks.

You don't have any HDD connected, but wiiflow waits for one, thats the loading time.

 

[FIX94]

Good to know, thanks!

I have it successfully returning to HBC so hopefully a new batch of forwarders will be possible.

I have good and bad news about that. The good news are the forwarder is working, the bad news are I cant release it since its just a modified homebrew channel dol with the forwarder injected

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I like the good news.

anyone able to get monster hunter to work on vwii? it freezes when you begin the game. I recall that it uses hermes cios. maybe theres an installer foe vwii?
