Launch System Menu when BootMii launch fails. #199

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I think this is a suggestion previously made with the same title, by another 
person, however it was not updated anymore, maybe because it was not entirely 
understood.

I have priiloader set to launch bootmii (which has a neek2o armboot.bin in its 
place, starting the emunand instead).
When I remove the SD card, as expected, priiloader says bootmii was not found.
I would like to know if it is possible to, when this happens (SD card not 
present), launch the System Menu instead of showing the error message.

Also, is there a place from where I can download priiloader 0.8 beta 7, as I 
plan to softmod a console without Internet connection.

Thank you very much for your work on one of the best homebrew apps to ever 
grace this console.

this can't be done without changing actual code.
and personally, i wouldn't want to do this change. ignoring the fact SD is 
removed and the armboot was not found could cause fools to have their real nand 
corrupted thinking it was emunand dont you think?
feel free to elaborate :)

as for the beta, not the dol is nowhere online. im sorry :/

Thanks for the reply, Daco.

You have a point, the error message is indeed a clear warning.

I was wondering about this, due to a more specific need, since I'm now aiming 
for a minimalistic approach to softmod.
As I use emunand for everything (games, installed wiiware, saves) by booting 
wiiflow from within the emunand, I have kept my wii clean (even removing hbc 
and stub ios's), leaving only d2x on 249 and priiloader. When I want to run 
homebrew from the sd card, I load postloader from the installed file option on 
priiloader.
This way, if what I asked was possible, priiloader would skip to the system 
menu, being possible to use the wii as a "normal" machine without any visual 
clue of the softmod simply by removing the sd card. Well that was my 
obsessive-compulsive idea of a "cleaner" approach to this lol but probably a 
bad idea due to what you referred.

As for the beta availability, will you release it in the future, though?

Thanks for your time.

sorry for the late response.

im not sure what postloader can do but can't it do the same what priiloader is 
doing?
load bootmii and if it can't load SM instead?

the tools should be all there to do it and you can force priiloader to load SM 
(ignoring whatever settings you had set) trough magicword

well, it is beta and i know a few flaws im scared off. memory corruptions that 
crash it which are way out of my league but i should indeed release it. there 
is a huge need for me releasing the beta :/

Hi, I'm using priiloader ver 0.7 (rel 138) iOS 80 systemmenu 513.  I get a 
black screen when I start my wii.  I can load priiloader by pressing reset 
after power on. However my wiimotes are not sync'd so I can not navigate. does 
pressing the reset button after 15 seconds of loading the priiloader still 
work? Or is there another way to navigate? thanks !
