Unable to build

[ssorgatem]

I followed the instructions (used provided portlibs and libogc, etc) and everythin seemed to go well until the very end... when linking it failed with this:

linking ... loadiine_gx2.elf /opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/lib/gcc/powerpc-eabi/8.3.0/../../../../powerpc-eabi/bin/ld: /opt/devkitpro/portlibs/ppc/lib/libvorbisidec.a(info.o): in function tagcompare':

Any ideas? Google wasn't extremely helpful on this one :/

same for me :

This project is currently irrelevant and therefore dead. I doubt anyone cares about your issues.

[ssorgatem]

I found a solution.
You need to build with devkitPPC r29.
I successfully built it with this one: https://wii.leseratte10.de/devkitPro/devkitPPC/r29-1%20(2017)/

Why is irrelevant? Is there any other (better?) alternative?

My idea was to add this code (found in billy-acuna@7226a65 in the latest loadiine build to make a new forwarder compatible version based on latest loadiine build :
https://github.com/dimok789/loadiine_gx2/releases/tag/Loadiine-nightly-2ae7fe4

adding forwarder in loadiine_gx2\src\entry.cpp:

OSGetTitleID() != 0x0005000013374C44 && // forwarder

 if (OSGetTitleID != 0 &&
        OSGetTitleID() != 0x000500101004A200 && // mii maker eur
        OSGetTitleID() != 0x000500101004A100 && // mii maker usa
        OSGetTitleID() != 0x000500101004A000 && // mii maker jpn
	OSGetTitleID() != 0x0005000013374C44 && // forwarder
        OSGetTitleID() != 0x0005000013374842)   // hbl channel

and also in src\kernel\kernel_functions.c:

|| ((strncasecmp("loadiine_gx2.rpx", xmlKernelInfo->rpx_name, FS_MAX_ENTNAME_SIZE) == 0) && (LOADIINE_MODE == LOADIINE_MODE_MII_MAKER))

if(GAME_LAUNCHED &&
       (   ((strncasecmp("ffl_app.rpx", xmlKernelInfo->rpx_name, FS_MAX_ENTNAME_SIZE) == 0) && (LOADIINE_MODE == LOADIINE_MODE_MII_MAKER))
        || ((strncasecmp("homebrew_launcher.rpx", xmlKernelInfo->rpx_name, FS_MAX_ENTNAME_SIZE) == 0) && (LOADIINE_MODE == LOADIINE_MODE_MII_MAKER))
		|| ((strncasecmp("loadiine_gx2.rpx", xmlKernelInfo->rpx_name, FS_MAX_ENTNAME_SIZE) == 0) && (LOADIINE_MODE == LOADIINE_MODE_MII_MAKER))
        || ((strncasecmp("cross_f.rpx", xmlKernelInfo->rpx_name, FS_MAX_ENTNAME_SIZE) == 0) && (LOADIINE_MODE == LOADIINE_MODE_SMASH_BROS))
        || ((strncasecmp("app.rpx", xmlKernelInfo->rpx_name, FS_MAX_ENTNAME_SIZE) == 0) && (LOADIINE_MODE == LOADIINE_MODE_KARAOKE))
        || ((strncasecmp("Treasure.rpx", xmlKernelInfo->rpx_name, FS_MAX_ENTNAME_SIZE) == 0) && (LOADIINE_MODE == LOADIINE_MODE_ART_ATELIER))))

if you can build it with this new code ,could you share your new loadiine.elf please ?
thx

I finally could compile the elf file by removing in the MAKEFILE some options for code generation
I didn't test the .elf file yet

make file line 68:

from:

to

I tried with devkitppc r29 (not r29 1)
https://wii.leseratte10.de/devkitPro/devkitPPC/r29%20(2017)/

Then I reused makefile from latest build for testing: https://github.com/dimok789/loadiine_gx2/blob/Loadiine-nightly-2ae7fe4/Makefile

and I left it untouched:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# options for code generation  -std=gnu11 -mrvl -mcpu=750 -meabi -mhard-float -ffast-math \   -std=gnu++11 -mrvl -mcpu=750 -meabi -mhard-float -ffast-math \

and the .elf generation worked

This project is currently irrelevant and therefore dead. I doubt anyone cares about your issues.

It's not dead : i can now play all wiiu loadiine games copied directly on my fat32 usb SSD with loadiine_gx2 and mocha CFW FAT32 loaded at start with CBHC 1.6 ; my new version of loadiine_gx2 is in attachment (working with loadiine gx2 hbw forwarder) (just replace your sdcard/wiiu/apps/loadiine_gx2/loadiine_gx2.elf with mine)

sorry for the necromancy, but how does loadiine need to be configured to load of the hard drive? it seems logical to modify the GamePath config in sd:/wiiu/apps/loadiine_gx2.cfg, but I'm unable to find any documentation on how to do it, or even that somebody besides @xavave has done it

Hi
It's been a long time indeed. I didn't even remember that I had posted this.
Your ssd doesn't load ? Did you use a dual usb cable? It's mandatory.

Here is the cfg content on my sd card
But I'm not sure that loadiine is responsible for ssd loading. It's more about mocha firmware if I well remember ...? Or it's because I used a custom version of loadiine ? (You can find it in attachement above)

[jokerServer]

yup, I'm using dual usb cable, the disk shows up in the normal wiiU menu and I get prompts to format it, so I assume its working

Here is the cfg content on my sd card

thanks, sadly it just says sd:/ was hoping for something like usb1:/ :D

I'm using your build at the moment, but havnt looked into mocha yet. I'm using CBHC at the moment

here is also a download link to my full sd card: http://gofile.me/6Nhoj/vPJyperdf

what mocha setting would help? I've loaded it onto the WiiU and have run Loadiine from Mocha, but as far as I could tell, it still references only the SD card

I've updated my answer to include a link a download the content of my whole sd card. Maybe you can try with it?

[jokerServer]

booted succesfully into mocha with your SD card, though homebrew channel displayed nothing, is loadiine maybe also installed on your hard drive?

edit: with booting using cbhc and loading mocha_fshax I could start ftpiiu, and with that I could confirm that I now have access to a level above of what I could before

edit2: default mocha and mocha_fat32 result in the before mentioned completely empty Homebrew Launcher Screen

[jokerServer]

I got it to work! placing loadiine onto the hard drive gave me access to those and loadiine now references the HDD instead of SD.

With a bit of comparing, it seems like the default mocha.elf seems to be replaced by the mocha_fat32/mocha.elf. So it seems that custom version of mocha plus your custom version of loadiine is needed.

I'm so happy we got this to work! Thanks so much!
