I did a bit more testing and the SD card didn't make a difference. Every other 
time
it boots it loads to Priiloader. I have also tested this on a total of 4 Wii's

and did you try rev32 or higher ?

I'm going to d/l and try rev32 now.

and...? did it work?

I have a similar issue with R30. Cold boot goes to priiloader however I have it 
set 
to boot to the installed file. Hooks once booted work fine. Attempting to build 
the 
latest trunk for testing...

use rev32 or above. i need to know if the issue is still there on rev32 or 
above (it
shouldn't ;) )

I can confirm that this issue is still happening, (I've built and installed 
r33). 
Here is the steps to reproduce the issue.

1. Turn on the Wii,
2. Press the power button on Wii for 4 seconds until it goes to cold shutdown.
3. Press the power button again try to turn on the Wii.
4. The Wii turns on for a second and then automatically turns off to standby. 
5. Press the power button again, Now the Wii boots to whatever configured on 
Priiloader Autoboot.
6. BTW, HBC shutdown gives the same result.

I've tested this with wiiconnect24 on or off, same result. So this maybe not 
related 
now.
I also tested without priiloader installed, the issue is not there.

I guess there is still something that the bootstates code cannot handle 
properly.
Thanks

I installed rev32, and it DID FIX the original issue with autoboot. Although, 
now a
new issue popped up.  When i turn on my wii, every other time, it spins the 
drive
then just turns off again.

hmmm, the HBC shutdown is something i know. its a bug that has been in every
preloader & priiloader version... i have not idea why it happens or what... ive 
kinda
killed it in a hacky way tho (still need to commit that code)

as for the shutdown part; im guessing thats the unknown bootstate i added :/
ill look into it.

also, as MxOn3x said; rev32+ remove the original autoboot bug; not the bootstate
issues with the power on/off stuff which you described greatjob

To me, they looked the same, "it spins the drive then just turns off again". 
the 
only difference might be it could happen with other cases as well. The same 
issue is 
also posted by another person in gbafail.

BTW, greatjob == small.solar. 
:-D

Daco,

I've built and tested r40, it seems the problem is gone. 

My guess of the problem is the bootstates doesn't get cleaned properly in 
earlier 
releases when cold booted.

Thanks, and I am now enjoying the great tool. :-)

or ive removed the bug in a very hacky way :P

Umm, your hacky way only solved half of the problems. The shutdown from HBC 
still 
has the problem. As you mentioned earlier, it is the problem for HBC, so if you 
can 
fix that with another hacky way? If not, I can still live with that. :-)

Thanks again for the great tool

he? it worked on my wii...

if you can compile your own priiloader from source then remove the 255 case 
from the
bootstate handling and try again...

I've tried as you suggested, when Bootstate = 255 removed, the Wii will boot to 
priiloader after shutdown from HBC,
Then I moved the 255 case to boot section, it works fine now.

Thanks for the hint.

With R40 priiloader boots correctly to my installed file from a cold start 
again. 
(like R15, it first broke for me in R30)

With R41 - my Wii will sometimes turn on and then back off again... I actually
thought there was something wrong with my power button or my Wii, but I am 
relieved
to find out it is just Priiloader! This didn't happen with R32 I don't believe, 
so I
may just go back to that.

Nope, actually now it happens with R32, so I guess I'm going back to 0.1.

[deleted comment]

anything before R32 or above r41 (committing a fix, r42) will have it fixed

CAn someone post the boot.dol file that corrects this problem? I am not a 
programmer 
and do not know how to compile this version

[deleted comment]

For me counts the same....How is the problem to be fixed, thus how to compile. 
Is
there yet no ready update for priiloader to solve this?
