New update crashes

[lednerg]

right so last night i got the latest Wiimc update but now when i try to go on it i get a death screen with the 8 sec countdown except it doesnt actually shut down, i tried to install an old version i had on my sd card but that does the same, now i’m sort of lost without wiimc as its a great life-line to have on the many days of hangover 😛 , if anyone has an idea on how to get it back up and running give me a shout.
thanks in advance
Ryan

Edit* got it working with an older version on a different SD card,
thanks for a cracking App! 😀

My 1.1.5 starts fine, however I have experienced immediate crashes if the restore_points file was bad or did not exist. I have reported this as bug 352.
Try creating an empty restore_points.txt file with notepad and rename it to remove the .txt

emptied the restore points file and it works fine now sorry for being a noob and thanks for the great advice!

You’re not a noob, I didn’t even know restore_points could crash the app! 😯

Where do you place the ‘restore_points’ file?

I experience those heavy crashes as well. WiiMC is unusuable. Sometimes i can make it into the video player in maybe 1 of 3 tries.

Tantric, let me guess. It doesn’t crash for you, you don’t have a 4.3 and there’s nothing you can do about it.

What IOS is used by WiiMC? IOS58? Do you recommend any alternative or custom IOS, patches or something?

create a empty file restore_points in wiimc folder
if you get codedumps then I need the stack dump info

Hold on, there’s different reasons for crashes. If you’re getting into the app before it crashes (for any period of time)! it’s not related to restore_points. It’s likely the “no_ios_reload” bug in HBC – if you don’t have your Wii internet-enabled, try removing the line from the meta.xml for WiiMC.

You don’t need to create a restore_points file. You should be able to delete the file, WiiMC will create a new one itself automatically.

That’s the case and i will try that. Will report back later. Thx!

You are right. It completely fixes the problem. 😛
