Mounting usb/usb 2.0 fails with Error -1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Everyone,

I am using Dop-Mii version 12. I am having trouble mounting my usb drive.
Both usb/usb 2.0 mount fails with error condition -1 when using Waninkokos 
cIOS (249 and 250) V18 and V19.  The same thing occurs when using Hermes cIOS 
(202, 222 and 223) V5.  My drive mounts fine using Waninkokos cIOS (249 and 
250) V17 or Hermes cIOS (202, 222 and 223) V4.  Is there a problem with 
Waninkokos and Hermes new cIOS's or is the problem with Dop-Mii.  Thanks for 
this great app and your support...

Mounting USB is always Trivial on the Wii. From the sound of it, it sounds like 
a
CIOS issue, but then again it could be something else. One thing you can try 
doing is
before loading DOP is to unplug and replugin the USB drive. Some drives may 
needs to
be woken up. It could also be possible that the CIOS mounting may have also 
changed. 

When I get a chance I'll try the new CIOS out. In the mean time if you need USB
support you can either use one of the older CIOSes or use one of the official
Nintendo IOSes with Patches.

Hi Lunatik,

Thanks for the speedy reply.  The problem is not with my usb drive sleeping.  I 
am 
runing an older enclosure that does not sleep.  I thought I would mention one 
more 
thing on this.  Before I discovered Dop-Mii I was using Dop-Ios-Mod.  I noticed 
the 
Dop-Ios-Mod system report had a column that showed if an IOS had Usb 2.0 
support. 
Waninkokos V17 and Hermes V4 showed usb 2.0 enabled for all of their cIOS's.  
Waninkokos V18/V19 and Hermes V5 showed usb 2.0 as disabled for all of their 
cIOS's.  
Not sure why this is.  Perhaps they have change their implimentation of usb 2.0 
such 
that Dop-Ios-Mod could not detect it. Not sure if this sheds any lignt on the 
problem.

Why was the usb 2.0 column dropped in Dop-Mii?  I thought that was valuable 
information to display.  Thanks again for your app and support and look forward 
to 
your reply...

The main reason it was removed was because to report against USB2 was partially
invalid. For example Wanikoko was using the EHCI module which is USB2 but 
Hermes was
patching the existing OH1 Module to enable USB2. Because of this we were always
getting asked why Hermes' CIOS would not report USB2 when in fact everyone knew 
that
USB2 was support. After talking with various devs on the matter, there really 
is no
good way to test for USB2 for OH1 except to open the device and do a file 
transfer
and calculate the amount of time it took to transfer the file. Because of this 
I felt
that doing this would slow down SysCheck quite a bit. 

However I did read that Hermes v5+ is now using the EHCI module so I may bring 
it
back at a later time.

Hi Lunatik,

Well I am very sorry to of wasted your time.  I am such a dumb ass!!!!  Your 
app is 
rock solid and has no problems with the latest Wanikoko or Hermes cIOS's.  It 
is in 
fact Wainikoko's own Wad Manager that has the problem. I can reproduce this 
problem 
using Wad Manager 1.5 or 1.6.

Wad Manger lets you select the IOS version to use for wad installs.  Once the 
IOS is 
selected you must select the storage device.  The options are (SD Slot,Usb Mass 
Storage,Usb 2.0 Mass Storage).

I can mount and install Wads using IOS 36 from the SD Slot and Usb Mass Storage 
but 
not Usb 2.0 Mass Storage.  This makes sense since IOS 36 does not have usb 2.0 
support. However when I choose Hermes 202,222,223,224 or Wanikoko 249,250 I can 
only 
mount and install wads from the SD Card.  Both the Usb Mass Storage and Usb 2.0 
Mass 
Storage fails mounting the device with Error -1.

This stuff all works using Hermes V4 and Wanikoko V17.  I can only conclude 
that all 
of there cIOS's have a problem.  However I find it hard to believe that both of 
them 
have broken Usb and Usb 2.0 mount's.  Do you have any insite on this?  How do 
you 
contact Hermes or Wanikoko to report problems?

Lastly I have one more question that I hope you can answer.  I am using 
priiloader 
along with the offered System Menu Hacks.  I am unsure of the hack "Force Disc 
Games 
to run under IOS249".  Does this apply for disc games only as it says or for 
Usb 
backups as well.  In either case is this hack a good idea?  I am new to this 
stuff 
and very skeptical of this one.

Thanks again...

You can probably get in contact with Wanikoko at wanikoko@gmail.com. Not sure 
about
hermes. 

As far as the Priiloader hacks go, this only applies to the System Menu. USB 
loaders
you can usually specify which IOS you want the game to run as.
