Loading the dol file causes the screen to turn green #11

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load the Front SD ELF loader using the twilight hack
2. Load the emulator dol file using the Front SD ELF loader
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A listd I see of roms on my sd card.  Instead the screen just turns green
and nothing else happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using the wii64.tar.bz2 on my north american Wii.

Please provide any additional information below.
I double checked the file tree on my SD card and everything seems to be in
order.  The dol file is placed in the elf directory and both a N64ROMS and
N64SAVES directory are at the root of my SD card.  The N64ROMS directory
contains only the GoldenEye 007.z64 file.

What is "Front SD ELF Loader"?  Can it actually load dols?  The issue may be 
that
your loader tried to load it as an elf rather than a dol.

Well according to it's description
(http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps/Front_SD_ELF_Loader)
it can load both.  Also, I've been able to load the duck hunt game which is 
also a
dol file.  Is there a better way to load this emulator.  I would prefer not to 
have
to install the homebrew channel.  Thanks for all the help.

Try loading it with the Twilight Hack.  It likely is an issue with the loader, 
and
the Twilight Hack shouldn't have any issues.  The problem may be that we have 
too
large of static data sections for that loader (therefore the loader overwrites 
itself
loading the dol).  There's not much we can do about that issue if its the case. 
However, I would be interested if its a general incompatibility with you Wii 
somehow.

I have a feeling this was simply a loader bug.
