Gecko OS mod

[biolizard89]

I just tried 1080 Avalanche with debugging.  WiiRd was able to connect during the intro movie, but when 1080 showed the loading screen, the loading screen took about 5-6 seconds (it's usually 1 second or so), and then the game crashed with an error along the lines of "An error has occurred."  This was with Neogamma and Wiigator's cMIOS, but I assume the relevant code is the same between Neogamma and Gecko OS Mod.

Not sure if you saw my post at http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php/topic,5521.msg50278.html#msg50278 but it has the PadRead hook that GCNrd uses.  I assume it could be used for your loader.

Do I use the VI hook or debugger in gamecube options because when I'm loading the game it says patching hook then it freezes. :(
Also, do I install cMIOS or patch it?

You run the cMIOS installer, which installs a patched MIOS. If you get the text mode stuff where it says "hook patched" and "enabled audio streaming" then you should have a compatible cMIOS. There are backup cMIOS that are not compatible, so until you got it work, you must use mine.

Which games do you try? Some games are just not compatible.

I am trying super mario sunshine (US), and also every time I patch the cMIOS I need an update on my wii to play newer games (super mario galaxy 2...) :(.

Did you by any chance delete any IOS's that 4.2 Stubs? (IOS 222,223,249, or 250?) If so, then it will keep on making you reinstall the update. I recommend using StartPatch. (www.Wiibrew.org) Get the appropriate version for your Wii, and install the patch that stops disc updates. Thats what I did to avoid this. If you dont want to take any bricking chances, then dont bother, or install BootMii.

It's asking to update, because the game disc has a newer MIOS. And i would advise priiloader with a skip update hack, or using Gecko OS to launch games.

If it's really a problem i could give you a cMIOS installer that installs the cMIOS as MIOSv65535.

Thanks!

Do you know if Super Mario Sunshine or Mario Kart works (both US) would I need the M code? It still freezes when it says hook patched.  :(

[goemon_guy]

I'll test Sunshine out soon and get back to you with the compatibility

Thanks, maybe I installed the Trucha bug and cMIOS to the wrong IOS, which IOS do I load them with?

That's not possible. All MIOS and cMIOS use the same (IOS...) slot. If you installed my cMIOS and you get the screen where it says "Hook patched" the error shouldn't be somehwere on the cMIOS side.

I think either you just only test incompatible games, or well, i don't know. 1st make sure the games boot at all, so disable hook, Ocarina and debugger until Gecko OS mod boots gamecube games for you. Did you change the video mode settings? PAL60 is not going to work on PAL games for example.

I guess only Trucha bug then, What I mean is, the first screen where it asks you "select which IOS to use" is what I'm concerned about.
And yes, Super Mario Sunshine does load without the other stuff set to off. I don't think I switched the video settings, force video is on disc and the video patch isn't on (internal is on).   If it matters Mario Kart works with codes so gecko os mod works with something. ;D

IOS 236 :) I got SSBM and Shadow the Hedgehog to work for Ocarina.
I don't have USBGecko or WiiRD, so I don't know if WiiRD works with Shadow the Hedgehog, but Ocarina Works for sure. Activator Codes are Buggy though. For example I can turn a code on, but I can't turn it off using an activator code for an anticode. Such as Speed mods set to 0.7 with an activator code then a different button is pressed to set speed back to 1.0, and setting the speed back to 1.0 doesnt work. It's really weird

Super Mario Sunshine does work for me now, strange... :)

I updated Gecko OS mod and the cMIOS. Gecko OS mod now allows you to eject discs(...), which means you can now play Eternal Darkness, Starfox Adventures and the other games that directly get a read error on loading. You need to eject the disc before the read error shows up and then reinsert the disc. I would like to fix this issue correctly, but i don't know how.

And the cMIOS now allows to install as revision 65535, which should stop the update notification on disc channel.

EDIT: I tested those three games on the new version. :)

Star Fox Adventures works now, but the Moon Jump was being unresponsive at the most important times. :P Funny, the one in Twilight Princess is fine, and the SFA Moon Jump works correctly in Dolphin emulator.

Wave Race also worked, no bugs found, but no button codes used.

Metal Gear Solid still hangs at the "Enabled Audio Streaming," so the removal of the disc won't work that way. But in ARMax, it doesn't always Error up at the very beginning... It's always in an almost random part of the opening logos...


And l assume IOS249 is fine to use since it hasn't blown anything up yet.

Ths is strange, the moon jump code in super mario sunshine doesn't work either!
Does it like, hate moon jump codes or something? :confused:
(I was using v0.9 at the time...)
