I’m so happy to see that you guys finally found a great way how to deal with this problem. My HDD used to work flawlessly with earlier versions of WiiMC, but as far as I can remember it was version 1.0.9 when my HDD would simply not be recognized at all. Situation hasn’t changed since then not even with the most recent unofficial beta compiles 😕

I hope USB Problems will be solved in future if lots of people are helping by submitting their scans. Here’s mine:

[HagBitlaultus]

I’ve been using precompiled revisions from BadBoy with the above patch built in for quite some time now and I like it pretty much. If only there were more themes out there… but on the other hand it’s pretty easy to build a custom theme yourself that will work with this patch, so it’s ok for me.

I don’t know too much about coding, so I can’t judge how clean the code is written, but from testing I can say that BadBoys unofficial compiles are running just as stable as unpatched compiles.

Keep up the good work! 😀

And PLEASE improve on your English, guys 😛

PS: If Tantric doesn’t want to inject your code into the next official release, how about programming some kind of a patch-installer, that makes it easy to apply the patch to the official boot.dol without any experience in compiling? That would be kinda cool I guess…

[HagBitlaultus]

Sweet! I’m looking forward to it 😀

[HagBitlaultus]

Hmm… well I expected something like that. 🙁 I always keep all my installers because I regularly have my friends wanting me to hack their Wiis (it’s been at least ten of them so far) 🙄

Anyways, what about changing the error message to tell the actual problem instead of saying “unable to attain NAND-Access”?

Imho it should say something like: “Installation cannot proceed. Make sure to have set in your meta.xml and restart this installer trough the most recent version of the Homebrew Channel”

And if the reason is a damaged of missing IOS58, there should be an error message like “In order to run this installer you need a an unpatched IOS58 on your NAND.”

These are only suggestions, but I guess you’ll all know what I mean… 😉

[HagBitlaultus]

I disagree.

A clock would be a very simple thing to program, but still I think Tantric has more important things to do than integrating useless features. We’re not talking about a whole operating system here, it’s only a media player. And what is a media player meant to do? Right, to play media. 🙄 A clock isn’t related to the purpose of WiiMC at all.

Clocks are everywhere! I have 7 in my room (counting also my watch, laptop, cellphone etc.) Why would I need one more?

[HagBitlaultus]

Of course it will, WiiFlow won’t be affected by any means. Just run the IOS58 installer, run the newest Hackmii installer (to get the HBC running under IOS58) and then start WiiMC 1.0.9 through your freshly reinstalled HBC and you’re good to go 🙂

[HagBitlaultus]

Ah, now I got the problem. All that IOS reinstalling and patching and so on was totally pointless, as my IOS58 was never the reason why it didn’t work.

It was the missing meta.xml!! I didn’t know about the function and that the meta.xml therefore is needed.
Thanks for the help, now everything works.

Might be a noobish question, but wouldn’t it be possible to integrate the setting in the installer itself? So there wouldn’t be the need to have a meta.xml?

It’s because I alway use to delete the meta.xml files from all my installers so that they would be displayed at the last page of my HBC and not in-between all the apps. I guess there are many people out there doing that and nobody would realize that the missing xml would be the reason for the installer not to work…

[HagBitlaultus]

Well, as I already wrote: After playing around with patches I reinstalled an unpatched version of IOS58 (I don’t like an upside-down HBC ;))

So after all I already did what you recommend me. To be really sure I tried it once again, first deleting IOS58 with the Any Title Deleter then reinstalling it with Dop-Mii and as that didn’t seem to work out I also tried the WAD once again; but the problem still remains:

Unable to attain NAND access!

Edit: I just tried reinstalling the HBC and then again reinstalling IOS58… same result, nothing changed.
Note: Trying to start the installer 1.4 with IOS58 deleted I would only get a black screen.

[HagBitlaultus]

Maybe you conntected it to the wrong usb port? That happened to me, previously. As long as you don’t have IOS202 installed, both USB-ports would work, but with IOS202 you can only access the USBport that is also used by usb-backup-loaders for connecting external HDDs, cause the other port is restricted to LAN-adapter use only…

[HagBitlaultus]

Well, I do understand that there are some advantages in using IOS202 instead of DVDx, but I’m

a) too lazy to install IOS202 on all of my friends Wiis, who previously ran on MPlayer CE
b) not convinced that I do actually need those better featueres that IOS202 offers. I’m neither using the network functions of WiiMC nor an SDHC card on any Wii (because there are imho still too many apps that make problems with SDHC cards anyways)

Therefore I think it’s good that you suggest to use IOS202, but it’s a little bit strange to actually force us to use it… You should let the useres decide that on their own, as MPlayer CE does it!

A small patch to enable DVDx on WiiMC and I’d be happy 🙂 I swear I’m not gonna complain about unstable networking 😉

[HagBitlaultus]

Well, when you play a file, e.g. a video it will save where you stopped. If this entry is created it will have a checkmark next to the video’s name (or song or whatever) so you will recognize that you have already started watching it (or watched it completly). This comes in handy when you have a list with many videos and you want to watch all of them in a row, like a TV series for example.

[HagBitlaultus]

Oh, so the resolution is too high. Well, now that I’m thinking about it this is pretty clear, the Wii is not an HD console…

[HagBitlaultus]

Custom button mapping would be the best, so people could decide wether they want to have + for the playlist and not have volume control or instead have volume control but do the playlist with the “1”-Button as I would suggest.

Additionally I think it should be possible to select a file for the playlist with A as long as you directly click on the checkbox itself as most applications on the pc would handle it like this which seems pretty natural to me…

[HagBitlaultus]

Oh… so then I guess I have an error report to make:
I can’t run the movie Big Buck Bunny. I have it as an .mov file with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720, the codec is H.264

I downloaded it from here: http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/

I always get a codedump when I try to start it…

[HagBitlaultus]

Sounds good 😎
