Hacking HBC update v1.1.1

[actar]

But if someone want to use also forwarder dol for start usb loader?

IMHO: is better to use a priiloder version who recognize the new hbc without using other dols.

IMHO.2: For Wii user, actually the best is only to keep hbc 1.1.0

I'm tempted to say that the best is to know what you are doing, and if you don't then you shouldn't mess with hacks and homebrew to begin with.
But, I'm only tempted

If you don't understand what you are doing, don't do it.
Wait, read, learn, ask for help, understand.
If a user do things wrong, it's his own fault.

 

[actar]

Maybe my words were misunderstood because of my bad English.
Or I don't understand correctly what you (and other) want to say.
I didn't want in any way to be aggressive.
Sorry if I gave that impression.

I say only that I mod and recompiled priiloader MOD236 and after install it, he work good with the new hbc.

The code that I mod is on the previous page, what's wrong?
Why isn't a good idea use a version of priiloader that know new ID?

 

[JoostinOnline]

another dol which could be made is only loading HBC1.1.1 TitleID (LULZ)
and Making it a hidden channel with the TitleID of HBC1.7 to 1.1.0

It will redirect all homebrew's call to old HBC to the new HBC.

That won't work. Hidden channels are in a different directory than regular ones.

Sorry if I felt aggressive, it's because you are not the first user telling others not to update.
I understand what you mean by "the best is not to update" (the new version not fixing an important bug on Wii, and keeping the old one will be less a problem for users)

I just say that telling users not to update is wrong.
How long do they have to keep from updating? nobody will tell them "ok, now it's fine, go ahead and change your homebrew version".

Telling them not to update without explaining the problem? ok, but remember that they will wait until someone tell them that it's fine. They will have a popup everytime they go in HBC telling them to update and they will be scared to do it.
While, explaining the problem, they will understand by themselves when they can update and why they couldn't before. (they could, just that some other homebrew would have problems)

Developers worked on it and fixed bugs, it's to be updated and used.
Then, if other homebrew doesn't work, it's the other homebrew's problem which need to be updated too.


It wasn't against you, but against the idea of telling other users what to do.


@Joostin:
Oh, yes, I forgot that.
But I thought such forwarder was already released for past HBC update. they probably never worked...

 

[actar]

Ok sorry.

Next time I'll try to explain better what I think.

I'm a bit confused.
Who is best bet to release priiloader updated for ID LULZ?
DacoTaco?

 

[actar]

if the mods agree I pass the link to the updated version with the new ID.
I've tried and it works without problems.

The version is the same one that gave me burritoboy9984 (priiloader MOD236), when I recompiled it for the new wiimote.

DacoTaco?

Yes. However, the HBC Launcher will still be necessary if you want to load the HBC through the HBF, at least until there is an update.

Could You make patches for Daco and send them through:

Thank You.

Question:
But if the problems is only for priiloader isn't better only to add the new ID ?

...snip...

If someone want it, I had already compiled and test it in my wii: it works good.

Please share! If a few more people can test it and confirm it's working as it should I'll add it to ModMii; I've got to put out a small update for the new hackmii installer anyways.

I just want to add that installing the new priiloader isn't necessary for brick protection. Someone could be semi-brick their Wii and only have the old school "preloader" (with an e) installed. They will try launching the homebrew channel from the priiloader menu and it will fail, but users can just install\load the latest HBC forwarder dol that Joostin shared. So basically the only downside to older priiloader versions is that you have to install a dol first before being able to boot (or autoboot) into the HBC.

Link removed, I prefer to wait for other confirm.

The version is always r142 and IOS236 correctly installed is needed.
I already test it in my Wii (but some other user take it)

I change only the necessary: http://gbatemp.net/threads/hbc-update-v1-1-1.338771/page-3#post-4475162

Thank You!

I don't know Priiloader's author stand about mods.
isn't it better that he release it himself? or include it into the auto-update feature?
Does he still work on it? latest revision is from 12 months ago.

 

[actar]

The last version MOD is this: http://gbatemp.net/threads/modify-any-wii-4-3-below.171901/page-404#post-4247524
And is been used from so much users.

Now I see also this to change, but is a case that I must to understand better before apply changes.
App never go here in normal condition, but obviously must be "completed".

I see, the previous one was from you too.
Then just make sure it's working fine and users with bootmii@boot2 test it first, then I guess it's fine.

 

[Taleweaver]

Wow...four pages, but I can barely see any comments on this piece of work:

(from the version history of v1.2)
BootMii/boot2 can be installed again on newer Wiis


Does this mean what I think it means? Can bootmii be installed on any given wii now*?





*okay, excluding that mini wii 'cause it lacks an SD-port. But any other wii.

No, it's a reference to a bug in the first release which meant some newer (but still old) Wiis (with vulnerable boot1) were identified as vWiis and couldn't install BootMii/boot2, despite their vulnerable boot1. This was fixed. It is still not possible to install BootMii/boot2 on any Wii it was not previously possible on.

It would be rather hypocritical if he disapproved of mods, considering that's what Priiloader is; a mod of crediar's preloader..

 

[DEFIANT]

Ok I got my shit sorted out. HBC is updated to the latest. Priiloader is updated to see the new HBC. I'm not sure why my wii was acting funny. Whatever it was doing, it's not doing it now...oh well.

 

[AngryGeek416]

So as a Wii user should i stay on 1.1.0? or update?
