Closed PownicMania closed 2 years ago

PownicMania commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug I tried to load my Mario Kart Wii disc through the "Load disc" feature in Priiloader twice, yet it didn't load the game at all. The first time even had a glitched green screen.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Have Mario Kart Wii on your disc drive Load it via Priiloader

Version 0.10.0 Beta 1

Expected behavior Load the game successfully

Could you enable logging and post the Prii.log file?

DacoTaco commented 2 years ago

and on top of that log, does the game work when loaded from system menu/another source?

It works just fine on the system menu

Could you enable logging and post the Prii.log file?

How do you enable logging? I don't see it anywhere

DacoTaco commented 2 years ago

it should be in the settings, i think its name is "dump debug info" or something along the lines.

sadly i don't own a copy of mario kart on the wii to try this out with :/ @TheTechRobo : do you have the game, and can you try?

TheTechRobo commented 2 years ago

I have Mario Kart Wii for NTSC. I do not currently have Priiloader 0.10 beta. Despite being a beta, is it safe for me to install it? (Also, is there an installer binary I can use or just the source code)?

DacoTaco commented 2 years ago

hm, beta seems safe to install but if youre that worried, maybe its better to try a priiloader build in HBC? run the dol in the following zip in HBC, see if it works? priiloader.zip

@PownicMania : did you find the log setting/file?

DacoTaco commented 2 years ago

i got myself a copy of mario kart wii (PAL) and have confirmed that it indeed crashes. looking at this i think its overwriting priiloader when launching the game. @PownicMania : you also get an output like this?

DacoTaco commented 2 years ago

it was a video buffer/entrypoint issue. Priiloader has now been moved to 0x81330000, the same address where system menu resides, and the memory region used by loaders.

the problem should be fixed, my copy booted correctly now
