when i start a game it sends me back to the homebrew channel

Post by DAbluBOMBERwounder » Sat Aug 21, 2010 8:14 am

I have the newest wiisx beta 2.1 and i am totally lost iv gotten every emulator to work but any playstation one. im not sure if i have the right Schp1001.bin file or whatever it is but basically it'll let me go into wiisx n i can view all the options and when i pick isos then sd card it lets me pick a game but when i do it just goes blank and sends me straight back to the homebrew channel outside wiisx. any suggestions and answers would be of great help. once again please help me!!

well, i dont know much about the scph1001.bin file, but i do know that it helps in some games. like mega man 8 for example.

but try to play game through bios (scph1001.bin) and load up your isos. then switch bios location to "SD" instead of "HLE" and try to play the game.

Dont load up the BIOS file and click play game. that boots me out of WiiSX if thats what your problem is.
just leave the bios file in its right folder, and do the above instructions i said.

P.S some games just dont work, and i dont know how to get them to work.
for example i cannot play rayman. it just wont work no matter what i do.
it just gets stuck at the "ubisoft" logo.

i guess for those certain games, we might just have to wait for a future update?

i hope everything i said helped in some way!

P.P.S clicking "play game" OR "execute bios" will both launch the game.
the only difference is when you choose "excute bios" it plays everything before the game.
(sony logo, then playstation logo, then game starts)

Okay so when i try to load my bios first it says failed to initialize system. try loading an ISO, but i cant load an ISO because when i do it sends me straight back to the homebrew channel.

im trying to play megaman x4 and x6 so i think they should work. also just in case im trying to play metalgear solid because i did see it on a compatable list.

Is there by some chance im missing something or if i dont have a good bio?

oh yea idk if it helps but my isos all have .bin files

yeah if you try to load the isos with .cue it always says it failed to load,
but then theres the .bin files (which have much more megabites than .cue) which makes sense.

what i do, is i load up the .bin file for the game and it will load up for me.
then you know, the whole play through bios thing (make sure your bios is in the bios folder)
and use scph1001.bin.

and dont load your bios. all you need is it sitting in the bios folder.
make sure your settings are right.

bios location "SD"
play though bios "yes"

and then load up the .bin game and either hit execute bios
or just play game. let me know how that goes

i dont have a play though bios option, i have the sd settings set to what you told me and it still wont work

and whenever i chose a .bin is when it sends me directly to the homebrew channel so i dont even get a chance to press select game start

i have no clue as to what the problem even is. any other suggestions?

With all .CUE files make sure the file path is Relative Patch and not Full Path.

ie:
UNTITLED.CUE

FILE "UNTITLED.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

and not something along the lines of

UNTITLED.CUE

FILE "C:\Documents and Settings\kevstah2004\My Documents\PSX\GAMES\UNTITLED.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Both .CUE and .BIN files should also have exactly the same filename apart from the file extension.

have you tried loading the .bin directly and not using the .cue?

Just open the .CUE in notepad or wordpad it should only contain the filename of the image not where it was saved to.

I dont have notepad cuz i have a mac but im guessing terminal is the same thing but this is what i get when i open it.

Last login: Sat Sep 4 13:14:42 on console
/Volumes/NO\ NAME/wiisx/isos/MegamanX4.cue ; exit;
andrew-loughners-MacBook:~ andrewloughner$ /Volumes/NO\ NAME/wiisx/isos/MegamanX4.cue ; exit;
-bash: /Volumes/NO NAME/wiisx/isos/MegamanX4.cue: cannot execute binary file
logout

[Process completed]

Y isnt the binary not being executed?

for some reason it wont open in terminal with the .bin

i honestly dont know why youre having those problems. i dont even have the .cue files in my sd card,
all i have are the .bin files for the games, and some work, not all though. for unknown reasons.

but try fiddling with different settings and see if you can find some way to get it to work,
thats about all the help i can give, plus the stuff i said earlier.
