ISFS Permission Problems

I'm trying to use ISFS to access a save file and write to it. When writing my app, I streamed it via Wiiload and all of the ISFS operations worked perfectly fine. However, when installing the app to my SD card and running it normally via HBC, none of the ISFS operations have permission anymore. Any ideas? Source upon request.

Perhaps a long shot, but over WiiLoad, all apps are given HW_AHBPROT access. Try adding a < no_ios_reload /> (remove the space between < and no, phorum doesn't like it if I put it in properly...) tag to the meta.xml, and see if it works then. Unless you programmed it to use HW_AHBPROT, it should make NO difference, but perhaps try it anyway.

Strangely enough, that did it. Thanks a lot!

Huh, kinda strange unless you programmed it to use HW_AHBPROT, but no matter, I'm glad you got it fixed. BTW, what are you doing with the save file? Anything big and interesting?

Maybe it's just a matter of which IOS is used? In the cases it works, HW_AHBPROT is enabled, but also running the same IOS as HBC is running on. I think with IOS Reload HBC loads IOS36 for all apps, well it did that for a long time, don't know about the latest versions.

So if you want to release your app, you may want to check which IOS your app is using when skipping the IOS Reload. And also if it still works if you install a clean version of that IOS. And/or if it still works if your do an IOS Reload manually for that IOS.

Hmm, or you did have the disc inserted, HBC inited the drive thus enabling nand access for the title id of the disc...

It's not due to HW_AHBPROT or any particular IOS, it's due to IOS being reloaded. When IOS isn't reloaded your app will run with the HBC title's permissions but if IOS is reloaded you get nothing.

I'm actually accessing the HBC save, so it makes sense that it would have permissions to its own save when the IOS is not reloaded.

Ah, that explains it then. Nothing to do with HW_AHBPROT.
