Hacking DSI Error and Auto Reloading.?

[ploggy]

Way back in the beginning of the Wii "scene" when there was a DSI Error the user would have to get up and drag themselves to the Wii and hard reset by holding the Wii Power Button, but later on someone implemented an auto reload function so if someone caught a DSI error the Console would auto Reboot after 10 Seconds or so.

Now my question is. Who or how was that implemented?
Because we're suffering the same fate in the WiiU section. We're currently getting alot of those DSI errors.. constantly.. while testing Retroarch and honesty my backs going to give out eventually, that or my WiiU.
It would be oh so sweet if we could get some of that auto reload goodness you lucky folks are blessed with lol

Thank You

I'm trying to think of who it could've been, or what app that did it, I want to say it was RA Wii that did it first, but I could be wrong. Fix94 may know who was involved with the timeout, or if it was one of RetroArch developers.

It was added in 2009 by tantricity.

That said, I have no clue if Wii U-mode stuff has advanced so far as to let homebrew apps install their own exception handlers, though, so that specific code would merely be an insight as to how Wii/vWii did it.

If Wii U apps could have something similar, it would be a boon. Whether or not it can be added is another story.

I could be wrong but I think Retroarch WiiU has an exception handler..

and it was updated just yesterday [emoji14]

Is that what you meant?

Try adding "extern void __exception_setreload(int t)" as a declaration then call it in main with the desired time delay. It needs to be declared as a "C" function if you're putting it in a C++ source.

I asked one of my mates to look into it, i'll see what he says
Thanks.
