Not having a network connection defined in Wii settings causes crash

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Turn on Wii
2. Load HBC
3. Run snes9xgx (009 and 4.0 i know do it)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
4.0 will sit at a black screen, i have had it sit for several hours and do
nothing. 009 will launch and show a background, but no menu. One time 4.0
even gave me a code dump, sorry it hasn't happened again can't give me
info. I tried 007 and it works fine every time.

What version are you using? On GameCube or Wii?
Wii, 009 and 4.0 (haven't tried 008)

Please provide any additional information below.
A similar problem occurs in vbagx 1.0.8, i have not tried any other
versions of that. fceu 2.0.7 works fine, as well as the version of genesis
plus. I do know that the code dump from 4.0 had to do with DSI(is this a
cpu register?) as compared to ISI in many other issues posted here, if that
helps (again sorry i cant seem to replicate it). I am running system menu
4.0 (updated last night by installing patched ios60 then the system menu
4.0 ntsc-u wads) I also have cios36 v9 installed.

update: I've managed to get it to code dump again, seems kinda random i guess, 
heres

Huh, very odd indeed saying as I thought those issues have been resolved in this
version. Did you delete the old prefrences.xml (is that what it's called?) 
before
loading the new version?  AFAIK, these issues should no longer be there...The 
new
System Menu 4.0 shouldn't be affecting HBC at all (if you previously installed 
it
prior to the update). But, I haven't updated to 4.0 yet, so I don't know.

Yes, i had hbc channel installed since 3.2, that's not an issue. I also deleted 
the
settings.xml, didnt work. Went as far as to delete every trace of it off my sd 
card,
including roms and saves, and recopy everything as it was released. I'm going 
to try
009 again, and then 008, to see where the error seems to start. This way it 
should
limit it down to whatever was changed between the two releases.

Hi, i'm HiroshiYamauchi and i have reported the same issues to Tantric at
www.tehskeen.com. I tried to track down any problem with my Wii but everything 
is OK,
all the other homebrew apps works but i have no luck getting Snes9xGX 4.0.0, 
Snes9xGX
009, Snes9xGX 008 and VbaGX 1.0.8 running. 
inighthawki, i have exactly the same issues as you: black screen in Snes9xGX 
4.0.0
and VbaGX 1.0.8, and with Snes9xGX 009 and Snes9xGX 008 i get white stucked 
screen
with Snes9xGX logo in the upper left corner. Ramdomly i get code dump as well, 
but
it's rare.
On a side note, VbaGX 1.0.5 is the only that works for me.
My system: chipped D2A (Wiikey) 3.2u NTSC. I don't use cIOS, never changed 
region and
never instaled WADs.

lyrmathews, yes this is EXACTLY the same problem. I tested a bunch of different
versions and find that in snes9xgx, 007 works, 008/009 gets the white screen + 
logo,
and 4.0 does not work at all. and in vbagx, 1.0.5 works fine every time, 1.0.6 
and
higher black screen (and rare code dump).

It appears not to be an issue with system menu, you @ 3.2, me at 4.0, and i 
dont have
a modchip, so that's out too, and you don't have any CIOS. This isnt a HUGE 
issue, as
i really dont use any of the new features (i'm pretty much good with the first
release) plus i play most emulators on my pc, but i think this is a major issue
especially if other people experience it as well.

I've taken a look at the update logs, and in both cases, the version that they 
crash
on (snes9x and vba) are both the update which implemented some sd fixes 
including the
"proper" hotswap for one. Could this be an IO issue with the SD cards? Sadly i 
don't
have another SD card to test if that is a problem.

 inighthawki, i have news for you! I did test my 3 SD cards without success, so i
thought it was not the problem, but i decided to do another test, with a 
aplication
called loadmii (can be founded in Wiibrew) and loaded the emulator through a USB
stick and the result is: success! Definitely it's a problem when loading from SD
cards, at least ours!

that is somewhat good and bad news. For now i will just stick with the older
versions, as i dont use them much, but if necessary i can always get channel 
versions

I get the same code dump as inighthawki on my wii.  I get the error both when I 
load
the .dol and .wad version of snes9xgx 009, snes9xgx 4.0, vbagx 1.0.9, and fceu 
ultra
gx.  Basically I get the error on any emulator by Tantric.  They had worked 
prior to
the last few days, the only change I had made was I added the preloader .29 and 
the
cIOS for USB

Hi guys, I would like to apologize for the misleading information. The process i
explained above didn't solve the Issue 149. It worked at first, but i think it 
was
just some lucky tries. After many hours of testing, i finally found the problem 
and i
think the coders will be able to solve it, because anyone can reproduce the 
"Never
loads" issue (i don't know what causes the code dump issue, it's beyond my 
coding
capabilities). Well, here we go, to reproduce the Issue 149, just delete your
internet configuration settings or turn off your router or your wi-fi access 
point.
Thats what causes the emulator to not work, i guess it's a problem related to 
SMB. I
think when the emulator loads, it tries to detect the Wi-fi connection and if 
nothing
is found, it just freeze at the black screen. I hope it helps to solve the 
issue,
because i mainly use emulators on my Wii at my girlfriend's house and she 
doesn't
have Wi-fi. I've made a video of how to reproduce the issue 149, it's attached, 
sorry
for the bad quality! See you later dudes!

Thanks for tracking this down.

Hmm...actually, I can't reproduce this crash.

Thats very strange...would be interesting if inighthawki or one of the guys 
with the
same problem could tell us if he has a network connection, because i can safely 
say
that the missing connection is the only thing that causes crashes on my Wii when
loading the emus Snes9xGX 4.0.0 (4.0.1 as well), VbaGX 1.0.9 and FCE Ultra 
3.0.0..

Thanks for the info, currently I'm on a college campus without any net 
connection for
my wii. It has settings but no connection at all. Good work though if this is 
the
issue, as it would make sense that it never loads if it continuously tries to 
access
a net connection...

Is this fixed in 4.0.2?

Original comment by dborth@gmail.com on 22 Apr 2009 at 7:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Not sure about the above with the networking issue (if its even the problem) 
but it
didnt help me at all, still a black screen, never loads

Original comment by inighthawki@gmail.com on 22 Apr 2009 at 11:00

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can confirm that it still a issue. Without a working network connection, never
loads, both 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. FCE Ultra 3.0.1 still having the same problem.

i can re-confirm the issue...  i didnt have a network connection and none of 
the last
emulators worked...older versions runs without problems.. after that test, i 
set-up
network connection with an usb adapter... after that FCE Ultra 3.0.1,Snes9x gx 
4.0.3
work almost excellent..i had a problem with the wiimote, the emulator didnt 
recognize
it, i had to connect a gamecube controller but i could play the games.... VBAGx 
2.0.0
didn´t work... i deleted the network connection and the emulators didnt work.. 
my Wii
is NTSC, 3.2U with CIOS Rev 10 installed. i loaded the emulators through 
Homebrew
channel.

Does 4.0.4 fix this issue?

Maybe did you install the usb2.0 cIOS and dvdx to IOS202 for mplayer ce 0.5 to 
use it?
It gives me strange errors too (in combination with a usb lan adapter)
Try reinstalling dvdx in 'normal'mode (solved the issues for me)

4.0.4 seems to be a no-go for me, still doesn't work

Sorry, did you see issue 194?

Original comment by dborth@gmail.com on 1 May 2009 at 8:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I confirm this. Uninstalled DVDX and then installed again in normal mode and 
Snes9X
GX 4.0.4 worked as it should, even without the internet connection. Thanks for 
the
guys for figuring it out!

I installed dvdx a while back in normal mode, mine still has issues. snes9x 
worked a
while back when i still had network connections though
