Actually, many of them do support the hub as well as the mouse an keyboard.
It's very useful for Wii Linux, Commodore an DOS emulators, anyhow that was not the problem, it seems the Samsung external DVD Recorder is incompatible with both new versions of Genplus GX and DosBox.
Furthermore since my Wii came with a D3-2 drive is either use an external HDD or an external DVD to play your backups, and I inclined myself for the latter.

Huh ?
Where did you get the strange idea of connecting USB hub or DVD drive to your Wii ? I don't think any application support that (or I'm missing something ?).

Glad you fixed your issues though.

Turns out you were right on the money!
I currently have a USB hub, a mouse, a keyboard, and a Samsung DVD Player/Recorder, plugged to my Wii.
I tried unplugging everything and the emulator worked, then I plugged the DVD and CRASH, there we go again. Finally I tried just with the hub, mouse and keyboard and it worked fine again.
So that's the end of it, thanks
Cheers

I happen to have an external USB DVD Drive, a keyboard and a mouse, I'll give it a shot with them unplugged and I'll get back to you on the outcome
Thanks
Cheers

This could be due to an incompatible hard drive or another USB device plugged into the Wii. Try unplugging any USB stuff and booting and see what happens.

There's no more than what you're seeing there, no Stack Dump information at the bottom of the screen (I cropped the image just to make it lighter, there was nothing else there).

I'm running the latest HBC version on IOS 58, loading from my 4GB SHDC (also tried it from a 2GB SD), plus my 4.2U Wii is up to date according to the latest version of Pimp My Wii.

This happens everytime I try to load it, I couldn't get in not a single time. I even made a channel with customizemii, and a simple and complex forwarder, and everytime is the same.

I know you speak for Genplus, funny thing is both new versions of Genplus and Dosbox announce USB improvements, which led me to belive IOS 58 could be a part of this mess (but I'm no expert, it's just a hunch), to prove that I'm right I should uninstall IOS 58, reinstall HBC and see how that goes, although I'd like to avoid doing so if it's not really necesary.

Cheers

Hope it helps

Not completely, I also need the stack dump information, which is at the bottom of the screen.
Anyway, I never experimented an ISI exception before, it seems to be something completely different. When does the crash exactly happen ? Does it always happen or is random ? Are you loading from USB ? SD ?

That said, I can only speak for genplus-gx 1.4.1 so make sure this is this program that you are running.

Ok, now I'm confident network initialized properly and I still get this crash:

Hope it helps

There is no "boot file" to copy or usb 2.0 issues to fix.

However, there is apparently still a bug in libogc when connecting classic (and maybe nunchuk also) controller to any wiimote other than the first one. The result is a crash of the application as soon as it initializes the wiimotes (i.e when it starts) or when you connect a controller.

This is (hopefully) fixed in libogc 1.8.6

Will do

Re: Emulators wont work

ekeeke — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 21:49:35 +0100

Ok.
If you could take a screenshot of the exception screen or copy the "stack dump" info, it would help figuring the crash location in the code.

Re: Emulators wont work

mugre1975 — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:35:00 +0100

That's not my case as I tried to load it only with its original Wiimote, anyway I did not tried to wait until the HBC's network interface is properly initialized before loading it.
Will do tonight to see if that's my problem, or to rule that cause out of my list.
Cheers

Thanks, but the reference you're giving me is kinda vague... Do you remember the post topic, or something like that?

what i did was head out to wiihacks and got a copy of the boot file some guy created to access usb 2.0. this i replaced with the original in the genplus folder and it fixed my issues. I am not connected to the internet though so I am not sure if this will fix your problem but its worth a shot.

I got the same crash messages on the new versions of Genplus GX (1.4.1) and Dosbox (1.5), although there's no "no_ios_reload" line in none of them xml files.

I tried loading them through the last version of HBC (not quite sure if I waited enough time for the network to initialize), I also tried loading them using a forwarder, and a channel, and I had no luck in any case.

The inmediate previous versions of both emulators load and work just fine.

If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this, I'll be grateful

Cheers

I'm going to tweak mine now. Hopefully this will fix my SNES crashes.

It is because a bug in the latest HBC. A lot of people is waiting for a fix to this. By removing the NO IOS RELOAD tag from the xml you lose DVD access and USB 2.0 support.

What makes your Wii not crash while your friend does is that you have yours connected to the internet. I bet your friend's is not.

I have a question... does anyone know why this error occurs, and why does deleting the "no_ios_reload" resolve the problem? This has never happened on my Wii before, but yesterday I installed the HBC on my friend's Wii. Then I just copied the contents of my SD card onto his SD card, and when he tried loading the roms it would bring up the code dump error. I just find it weird that it doesn't happen on my Wii, but happens to his Wii when he has the exact same contents on his SD card too.
I will also note that I will try to delete the "no_ios_reload" on the XML file tomorrow and hopefully that works.

Yeah it should work

Re: Emulators wont work

smeesmay — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:47:23 +0100

i was wondering if the rom folder of these emulators can be put on a usb harddrive in fat32 format and be played that way instead of using an sd card.

sweet this was the issues i was having as well, where do i locate this .xml file? in the apps folder?

The meta.xml files are usually located in the same folder as the boot.dol file. For example, if you were using snes9gx: SD:/apps/snes9gx/meta.xml.

thank you!

Glad to help!

thanks for the info on deleting that line in the xml files! My emulators work perfect now with no issue!

Re: Emulators wont work

ekeeke — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 08:08:15 +0100

It's a bug in HBC, turn your wifi router ON before going into HBC and wait for network to be initialized.
Or better, remove the <\no_ios_reload> line from meta.xml files.

Actually, it happens in any homebrew using the new HBC no_ios_reload feature.
