Gecko 1.9.3RC

[Romaap]

brkirch, did you see the Triiforce alpha?
It shows the pictures of the channels.
Its open sourced so maybe you could take a look and try to implement that into Gecko?
That would be awesome.

I get a "Exception (DSI) occurred!" error when trying to load a game using this.

This is what I get whenever I try to load up Megaman 9 in 1.9.2b. However, Brawl still works fine, though I haven't tested much else.

So far, I've encountered a lotta problems trying to get the channels to load for me in Gecko. 1.9.0.1 was (until 1.9.2b) the only OS I could get to display Load Channel, but that keeps giving me "Error Loading Channel" messages. OS 1.9.2b actually tries to load it then gives me the Exception message with State and Code Dump messages underneath.

I'll try the new 1.9.3 and see what happens.

Which one do you mean? The banner fork which has great problems to display any pictures at all, but loads them from the VC/Wiire itself? Or the GUI mod that loads pictures from sd card?

I think the more interesting feature that could be copied from TriiForce to Gecko OS is the fact that TriiForce can choose which .dol to launch, the apploader(like Gecko OS) or the main.dol directly. Loading the main.dol directly has the advantage to allow (more easy...) .dol patches, like language patches. Also the compatiblity could be different, but i did not hear yet from not working VC/WiiWare for one of both methods.

I have made some small modifications and fixes to the Gecko OS code, if you have System Menu 4.2 then please try this and let me know if there are any issues:
Gecko 1.9.3 RC

is there any way that when "loading" a game, with codes or without, it does only once? like Gecko 1.07,
because I have many problems loading some games, the first load is good, but the second does not, says error no dvd

The second disc spin-up has been removed from the Gecko OS code at this point because I found that it was actually unnecessary.

I get a "Exception (DSI) occurred!" error when trying to load a game using this. Im on 4.2E.

Any help?

If the 1.9.2b build of Gecko OS was created using a newer version of devkitpro then that is probably why (I've found that versions of devkitpro from the last few months create unstable builds of Gecko OS which often crash when fclose is called), try using the Gecko 1.9.3 RC build found at the top of this post.

so it's Gecko 1.9.3???
i have 3.3u, but my wii sometimes dont read dual layer discs, actually my problem is mp trilogy and second spin up...

works amazing!!! thanks!!!

WIll channel loading option eventually come back for version 4.2e

Channel loading is there.. but the rules are the same.. You need a vulnerable IOS36 or IOS35.. I use an old IOS36 on my Wii and channel loading is well there!

[justin28]

Is their somewhere i can download the ios36 and apply it to my 4.2e console i updated homebrew channel before updating to 4.2e

in case you did not use the official Nintendo updater.. you can try http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Dop-IOS or http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Dop-IOS/Dop-IOS_MOD .

Try to first download the new IOS36 with it and assign the trucha bug and the ES_Verify hack to it.. if it works, then Gecko will show the channel menu. If it does not work you need to install the old IOS36. Notice that this means that your Wii will (unless you have Preloader) try to update IOS36 in case you use a game which ships with System Menu 3.3 or higher!

Arrgh. On 4.2 without a cIOS, without an IOS36 that allows channel loading, you can't just patch IOS36 to allow it nor you can just install an old IOS36. Also keep in mind that the old IOS36 do not work on new Wiis! You can look for Trucha Bug Restorer mod or TBR 1.1(as soon as i release that). The updated TBR should allow you to get the IOS36 you want.

I know I know, he never said if he used an old or new Wii.. besides: in worst case it just wouldn't have worked, however, for several TBR tools.. I do not recommend tools I haven't used simply because I have no experience with them.. you gotta understand my position.. I cannot recommend tools I have no experience with and in recent time with a new job I lack the time to do much more development with my Wii.

We discussed this multiple times.. the ways are:
a) Get DOP-IOS MOD (which hopefully works) and download IOS36 or IOS35 and do an ES_Verify and fakesign patch
b) Try installing a cIOS prior to Dop-IOS Mod
b) if neither cIOS works nor DOP-IOS does not work - use the Trucha Bug Restorer before!

I have made some small modifications and fixes to the Gecko OS code, if you have System Menu 4.2 then please try this and let me know if there are any issues:
Gecko 1.9.3 RC

I can't seem to load any backup games from DVD-RW, I always get the error

Error: No DVD Found

Any ideas how I could solve this are more than welcomed.

If your Wii does not have a modchip, Gecko OS cannot boot backups!

Plus the wii doesn't read RWs...
