Many games black screen on newer revisions of sneek-di

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  update sneek-di to newer revision (103+ or so)
2.  attempt to play games that have been working fine

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Many games black screen when being started up, a couple of others will actually 
freeze the disc channel and on a reboot the wii will freeze on the health 
screen before the A button pops up until I delete the diconfig.bin.  There are 
no blinks of any kind.  IOS's definitely aren't the issue because using r102 
almost every game works, and past that the black screening starts.  
Interestingly the black screen isn't always consistent, every now and then a 
game will mysteriously work and then not work again for a while, and some games 
will rarely have any issues starting up.

What revision are you using? With what configuration
(SNEEK/UNEEK/SNEEK+DI)?
r103+ SNEEK-DI

Please provide any additional information below.
Using a 250GB Seagate Freeagent Go, formatted and set up properly (spindown 
disabled, 32k cluster size, etc.).  Additionally a 16GB Sandisk Mini Cruzer 
flash drive demonstrates the same problem.

Hello,

This is the same for me.
My wii remote is synchronize because the blue light is on but i never see the 
health screen since i update sneek to r158.
Before this version, i was using r154 where it works like a charme.
But i would like to have the r158 because this version have a interesting 
feature.
The di module use only one usb port.

Sorry for my very poor english.

Hi there,

I did some testing and it seems that the changes in es/es.c broke things 
between r155 and r156, at least on my black EUR 4.3 Wii with UNEEK+DI.
I compiled everything with devkitARM r32.

r155 from svn: works fine

r156 from svn: hangs before health screen, wiimote in sync, 
diconfig/channelcache gets written

r156 with es/es.c from r155: boots fine, everything working again

r159 with included patch: boots fine, even dumping now seems to works :-)

Try it, maybe it works for you :-)
And big thanks for this great piece of software, Crediar !!

r162 worked like a charm with devkitarm r32, with r34 it didn't even get to the 
black screen.  That being said I build my own devkitarm on cygwin using the 
devkitpro buildscripts svn so someone else should verify that.

r172 has fixed all black screening problems for me and compiles nicely on r32 
of devkitarm.  I'll be trying a build with the newest devkitarm at some point 
in the next couple of weeks when I find the time to build it
