Wode Autoboot

Post by andzlay » Fri Nov 23, 2012 1:20 pm

Hey!

I was wondering if it's possible to select some specific .iso to autoboot it with wode. I have swiss in mind...
In the wode config I can select as autoboot the wode config iso, the last .iso, and none...
I remember that I read something about naming the iso like autoboot.iso or something, but maybe that was for the WKF?

there is a different between autoboot and autoload. autoboot means in wode that it loads the iso but you still have to push a button that it starts it. autoload means that it starts the iso automaticly. in the past i also have wondered how this would work and i came to the solution that there is no solution. the wode only has autoboot.

not to contradict what yamaharacer posted...
but i thought autoboot would mean the device would automatically load a specific target...
...and, autoload means it will automatically que a target...


supposedly a target can be defined using an application written by infact and i imagine ExtCFG needs to be set also, but it doesnt work for me....

You may now use it to replace the WODE Config ISO.

Yeah! Thanks! It totally works!

There are some things you need to know to make swiss as the initial iso for the wode:
1. Patch the .iso with infact's PWCI
2. Place the iso on the SD card in the sd card slot of the wode in a folder named ISO
3. configure the wode to use the external config iso with the small display & joystick (there's no option in the original config iso):
- eject the iso if one is loaded
- go to Settings -> Wode Settings -> Auto Load
- change the value to ExtCfg
- save the settings
4. power off the console
5. power on the console :mrgreen:

now swiss is the initial iso.

Tested with WODE firmware 2.9B and swiss v0.3 r174, PAL iso.

I put that in the gc-forever wiki.

so if there's a swiss iso on autoload you start up the cube, swiss loads and you can load games from usb hdd via swiss > wode > game list?
without the need of the wode config iso or the display/stick?
please search before you ask - a lot has been discussed already!
(or use google with "site:gc-forever.com *term*")

Are you kidding? Get the newest iso from the Google Code page: http://code.google.com/p/swiss-gc/downloads/list
and patch it yourself.
