gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

Hello

I have read in a post somewhere on this forum that you can apply patches on triforce / gamecube games. Does anybody has more information on this? Since i'm trying to run also my triforce games on my gamecube.... i'm not very common with patches so if someone could provide more information on how to write these, what knowledge do you need, which program do you use,...and if possible maybe email me an example.... ( in case > email triforcepower@hotmail.be).

Thanks

You need knowledge on asm, c++, the internal working of the gamecube, how an iso is created, and some other stuff that beats me.

crediar made some patches for the Wii to be able to run Triforce games, but they would need to be ported to the Gamecube. I haven't taken any steps towards doing this yet as I've been so busy but it would be nice to one day have this functionality.

has crediar made his patches public?
would be great to test mario kart gp and gp 2 on my wii but cant find these patches

No and imho they were only specific for Mario kart

I have seen the videos from crediar, but how does he patch it? with C++ or assembly?
I would like to start experimenting with some patching since i have a spare gamecube that i would like to modd.

the patches are in assembly and a combination of C that runs on the IPC (Starlet) CPU via calls hooked in by using assembly to patch certain functions.

The problem is that as the GameCube does not have such a "spare" CPU or extra memory, the patches would need to be ported to the GameCube to not utilize the extra CPU and do everything on the PowerPC. This introduces many issues, primarily memory constraints, but it is possible with a bit of work which I hope to get to port one day.

So if i understand wel, he patches the game with assembly instructions so that the CPU can play the game on the WII? Do you think that an modded gamecube can read a writen mini Dvd where the patched game has been burned on? Since there is not a sd card slot available for the gamecube (maybe SD gecko adapter).

Yes, it's possible but very complex to do.

So........

Turns out the wii TriForce - quadforce - emulator as been leaked then released in final unfinished form by the upset author (crediar)

I do understand why crediar is pissed but when you release code to parties you do not trust - 100% lock down - what do you expect how many times as this happened in the past.

Circles within circles.

Chalk up another body of abandonware.

hmm im very sad wavebird support would be good.
maybe if crediar made an announcement that this piece of code will be released when its done, nobody had leaked it but he never said if it will be released or not he only posted videos of it.

hmm but now I will try it waited so long to play these to games

The two Mario Kart games are working. Several users have also reported functioning Wavebird support, even though they are supposedly unsupported.

hmm for me the games simply dont even boot up.
put the games on sd:/games
installed quadforce
installed dios mios booter

start DM Booter -> choose a game -> Trriforce splashscreen shows and then it simply freeze with the splashscreen.
in the left upper corner is text with (gc-loader 0.4 09.06.2012)

Nothing more happens. tried 2 different sd cards but both are showing the same result.

what could be wrong?
I have a gamecube game in the drive but this shouldnt be the problem.

oh humanity, you never fail to show your real face

hmm tried several things. my iso's are not corrupted. tried different isos but it simply freezes at the triforce screen.
tried a clean reinstall. first a clean Mios-v10.wad then quadforce.wad but it gives me the same error.

could the sundriver be the problem for this strange error?
the wii sees all the time a gamecube iso inserted when using a sundriver (the sundriver menu) could this be the problem?

or do you have another idea what could be the problem?

Try installing a fresh RVL-BC-v6.wad.

have done this already. nothing. same as before.

Not sure what's going on then. Using the latest DML Booter?

http://code.google.com/p/dios-mios-boot ... loads/list

yes im using r22

If it doesn't work after installing quadforce_v0.1.wad, a new RVL-BC-v6.wad, and the latest DML booter, it could be interference from the modchip. I have YAOSM in my Wii, and the Triforce games load up.

Did you use DiscEx to extract/install the games to sd:/games?

yes. discex 0.8
I dont know whats the problem for my wii

this is where it hangs all the time.

Is DML working properly with your SD cards? Are they formatted with 64 k clusters? If not, the EaseUS Home Edition will work: http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm

tried to format fat32 and 64kb sector size.
tried DML 1.5
but it gets stuck at the exactly same position or i get a code dump.

dont know what could be wrog if even DML freezes at gcloader screen -.-

Does your modchip have a disable option? If so, try that. It could also be incompatible SD cards. Do you have d2X v8 final installed? As I understand it, Triforce runs using a modified MIOS, so it should not produce a code dump (which would be CIOS related).
