WiiRD dump loops

[Frozz]

I recently got a USB Gecko and it worked perfectly a while, but now, it's not behaving alright, and this is the second day i'm using it.

When i start Gecko OS through HBC, Gecko OS will normally find the USB Gecko, but when i start WiiRD, Gecko OS boots the game och some few seconds the runs fine if i use autorun, but when the timer at the top of the window hits zero, the game freezes and WiiRD is stuck in a dumping loop:

Code Select Expand

> dump "test.bin" 80001800 80001806
Dumping 80001800 to 80001806 to file: test.bin
Dumping.Return value 2 while asking for status!
Resetting USB Gecko device driver!
Connection resetted!
> dump "test.bin" 80001800 80001806

Could somebody help me please, this problem is driving me nuts and i cannot use my new USB Gecko. :(

What game is it?
Try another game.

I have tried both Excite Truck and Brawl, and both of them have worked before without a problem. And i'm using a PAL Wii with PAL games.

[James0x57]

So are both of these two games causing the crash now? That's kinda strange..

[Frozz]

I think it's not only those games that will cause this, I think every game will, but i have not confirmed it.
EDIT: Same problem with Super Mario Galaxy

Is the usbgecko in slot B.
Have you got a GameCube card plugged in slot A.
Very strange i have a Pal wii with Super Mario Galaxy it works on mine.

[Frozz]

Yes, it is in slot B and i have not a GameCube card in slot A.
I suspect that the problem is the driver, but i don't have access to the CD.
Is there any other way to uninstall the current driver or do somebody know where i can download the driver unistaller?

Thanks, but sadly that didn't help.
I saved a log of the WiiRD if that can be of any help:

EDIT: Maybe i should explain what happens when i try to run a game. It boots as it should and if i turn on auto launch it will run a few seconds, but when WiiRD's counter hits zero, the games pauses because WiiRD want to dump some memory but can't do that due to some unknow factor.

EDIT2: After a night it working again! Maybe the USB Gecko need to rest too.

[Frozz]

Bump, i think i have found the problem.
It's not the USB Gecko, it's not the game and it's not the driver.
It's the folder.
When i tried to use the wiirdw32.exe app i was able to hook, pause an resume the game, but not able to dump, which is when it writes data to the folder.

At least i think this is the problem. Does anybody know any way to fix this?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that it has stopped working and that the peek command was working too.

[James0x57]

Are you using the new version of WiiRD?

Either way, press the home button (on the wii remote) before touching anything in the WiiRDgui and see if you can take a dump.
lol

[Frozz]

Yes, i'm using the new version of WiiRD.

Yes, it worked!
But sadly, the game crashed when i was about to start it after a dump. It was dumping okey but when i pressed run it crashed. Maybe there is something wrong with my USB Gecko.

[James0x57]

Try clicking "show wiird" and type "run" in the console. Maybe that'll help..

[Foxx]

what OS are you running? It could be bugs in the new WiiRD release. Ive already found a few. Im liking the earlier release myself.

[Mouse]

I am having problems with wiird.
I am on NSTC and Im trying on Super Mario Galaxy.
