@umby24: That sounds like we are not properly shutting down the video hardware, which would be a bug — please open a ticket at http://bugs.hackmii.com. Thanks!

Just a suggestion, but for the next version of the HBC, could you make the system go into full standby when you hold the power button on the wiimote? What I mean is, currently if you use the wiimote to turn off your wii (with wiiconect24 turned on) the system is still sending a signal to the tv, although it is blank, it’s problematic when you use a RF modulator for your tv.

Funny thing is that, when HBC gave me my auto update screen I hit yes and HBC froze at 42%.

Tried again and managed to get it installed second time. Thanks for fix, I was getting really random freezes.

@madfilipe:

it isnt a bug that you cant return to hbc after launching geexbox.since 1.0.5 the hbc uses a different channel ID thats why returning to hbc with an old geexbox version won’t work, use the newest version (http://www.wii-homebrew.com/wii-homebrew/geexbox-v0-1-alpha8) and your problem should be solved.

Sorry to bother you guys, but I found a particular bug.
To make the story short:
I have an HD Enclosure I used it with some homebrew, but it had a bug. I had to start HBC plug it out, reload the HBC, plug it in, start Geexbox, and go to RETURN, so it could get working.

But after the update, it was improved!(I think) now I think I don’t need to unplug-replug it, but when I go to Geexbox and try to RETURN, it gives me a Black Screen, and I have to turn the wii off (red light) making my procedure now done, unuseful.

Now I can’t use it anymore. Before the 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 I could use, so I don’t understand.

I’m asking if you could do something, or tell me something about it.

My enclosure is an Satellite AX-223

Just thought I would mention that I actually got a code dump twice when installing bootmii/boot2 (unfortunately I didn’t write any of the register or stack data down because I was freaking out about if my Wii was bricked or not). Thankfully, as far as I can tell, nothing bad happened either time. The first time, it happened at the end of installing bootmii/boot2, and the second, right at the beginning of trying to install it again. I think the problem was, I installed it over an old version, but the uninstall option went away, so I figured it actually uninstalled instead of installed, so I hit install again, and it crashed at the end, then, when I booted it up again and hit install again it code dumped at the beginning. I fixed it by uninstalling, restarting, and installing again.

@dhewg: Would using IOS202 which comes with MPlayer-CE be okay? AFAIK it’s not used for warez loaders.

Option saving is coming on future version. Our tracker supports “feature requests” too See http://bugs.hackmii.com/index.php?do=details&task_id=217

And of course we’re using USB 1.1, since that’s what IOS supports. And no, we’re not going to add support for nasty IOS USB2.0 hacks. The right thing to do ™ is to skip IOS for USB altogether and to add a USB 2.0 stack on PPC side via direct hardware access. So far nobody cared to work on that, most likely because warez monkeys have to realise that on ARM side for their precious ISOs :\

I would also like to see a saving option for configuration. Just a small file on sd/usb to tell what the settings are set too. Because I have to change to USB everytime

Is the USB support 1.1 or 2.0 because it is quite slow…
