    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    I've done it twice so far. The only way I've wavered is that I used letterbomb instead of indiana pwns. I also used ios236 installer v6 rather than the v5 that came with Modmii as the v5 didn't want to work. I've installed bootmii as boot2 and priiloader - both work fine. All that's left is...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Thanks for the reply @[member='PsyBlade'], my kids are going to kill me if I don't get this running by the weekend! :) In answer to your suggestion, I have cIOS 'X' Rev 19 installer but my controller disconnects from the wii after pressing A the first time. When I first hacked the wii from...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Ok, I tried to change the IOS to 36 and MMM would let me do it however still cannot install all the same wads as above. Interestingly, when I exit MMM and re-load it displays IOS 58 again suggesting to me it hasn't really changed it!?! HBC shows it's on IOS 58 as well - does this matter...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    OK, will do. I presume I then attempt to re-install all the wads I downloaded from Modmii again. Hopefully now, they'll all install. I'm off to work now so I will post the results later on.

    @[member='Anon10W1z'], I load MMM and as you suggested, at the bottom of the menu it says: current IOS 58 v6176

    Not sure what you mean but I will check and report.

    @[member='Anon10W1z'], Yes MMM does load and I have installed all but 16 of the wads that came with the Modmii download (as stated above), with it.

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    @[member='Anon10W1z'], I tried the IOS236 installer that came with Modmii but it didn't work on my console (i.e. refused to load). Like I said above, the version that comes with Modmii is v5 but the version I've got is v6 and that works.

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Sorry @[member='Anon10W1z'], that was V6. So the update to my problem is. I re-hacked my 4.3e Wii and installed Bootmii at Boot2, made another NAND backup, re-patched IOS236 (intaller v6) and Installed Priiloader. No problems so far. Via Modmii, I downloaded a bunch of wads. I then used MMM...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    @[member='Anon10W1z'] and @ddetkowski, thanks m8s. I will try later today and post results as you suggested. That said, I'm annoyed that I can't install the 'so called' latest version of Modmii i.e. v7 (and this is from the Modmii website). The reason I used letterbomb was that it wasn't...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    OK, so I went with 2 and fully updated and I re-hacked with letterbomb - no problems. Then, I thought I would use Modmii as a quick way to re-install everything. Everything went smoothly up until installing the wads. There was a long list to install and out of that list 16 refused to...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Please let me know if this post doesn't belong here. I've only done so because it is inherently n00bish. ;) I have (err had), a softmodded 4.1e wii with bootmii in boot2. Today, I come home from work and my wife tells me the kids clicked "OK" to a update to 4.3 message on the console...

    Hacking FAT32 vs NTFS vs WBFS

    @Toddof War420 - Nah, you're screwed.. ;) Seriously, get rid of the WBFS formatting, there is no longer any valid reason to keep it.

    Hacking FAT32 vs NTFS vs WBFS

    Whether you have one or two fat partitions is a matter of personal preference. Aint going to make any difference for your loader if you have one fat partition as it will only read from the game directory and ignore everything else. If you want to have an entirely separate space just for your...

    Hacking Mac OSX & .wbfs files

    I don't use it, so from my perspective - as you can see above, it's easy to be mistaken. Thanks for the clarification. :)

    Hacking Mac OSX & .wbfs files

    Yes, but you're stuck with all your games on a WBFS partition (which I have found problematic). The solution above is for every other format and very simple when you've got it set up. You have a config file sitting on your desktop (or wherever). You place an iso in your designated directory...

    Hacking Mac OSX & .wbfs files

    Here's a tute I wrote a few years ago.. TUTORIAL: Convert an .iso to a .wbfs using a Mac (potential for Linux users too) As anyone with a mac will know, there are few programs that directly relate to game hacking. There are plenty for pcs and sure, you can use bootcamp, parallels or wine to...

    Hacking Wiiflow - some games gone missing - but still on HDD?

    OK! Good news fellas, I solved it! Woot! All the games were fine. What the issue seems to be is that the more recent versions of Wiiflow require you to included the GameID in the name of your .wbfs files. This is what worked for me: Game Name (space) [GameID].wbfs I just had to...

    Hacking Wiiflow - some games gone missing - but still on HDD?

    Hi wii knee. Yes, I am familiar with that issue and that is why I use the FAT32 format. Maybe it's something to do with .wbfs files themselves?? It's an interesting suggestion to re-rip and I will try re-ripping Mario Kart Wii - as I think it was one of the first to disappear. Doesn't...

    Hacking Wiiflow - some games gone missing - but still on HDD?

    Yes, I can check for a bad file easily enough on a mac. I will try that. This problem began well before I downloaded 418. In fact, as mentioned above, using it brought a few games back. Still you make a very good point, maybe they should know I'm having these issues too!

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
