YES THERE IS A SOLUTION TO INSTALL HBC ON A VIRGIN WII ON 4.0!!

NOTE: If you Have a lu64 Wii this will not work.


WHAT YOU NEED:
http://rapidshare.de/files/47097860/Instal...on_4.0.zip.html
IOS35-64-v1040.wad (Search "Wii IOS Collection" on the Pirate Bay)
CIOSv7.wad (search up the thread called " The Ultimate Virgin 4.0 Softmod Guide" on the forums and download the pack and open up the wad folder and drag it to your wad folder on your SD card.)

STEP 1
Copy the "apps","WAD", and "Private" Folders to the root of your SD Card And Then add the IOS35-64-v1040.wad to the "WAD" folder on your SD card. Than after that open up the "apps" folder on your SD than open up the "CMDVDX34" folder and Copy the boot.dol and paste it on the root of your SD. Now take out your SD card and were ready to go!

STEP 2
Put the SD card in the SD slot in your wii, and then turn on your wii than go to Wii Options, than go to Data Management then select Channels then select SD Card then you will get a message saying "Load /boot.dol?" select "Yes" then CMDVDX34 should pop up and you should have a Downgrade IOS35 option to patch IOS35 to a lower revision. when it does finish Downgrading press the Home button on your wiimote 2 times again then we go on to the next step.

STEP 3
Take the SD card out of your wii and put it back in your PC again and then Delete the boot.dol on the root then open up the apps folder then open up "Wad Manager" folder and copy Its boot.dol and paste it on the root of your SD card and then take your SD out of your PC and put it in your wii and then boot up Wad Manager like you did with CMDVDX34 then when you boot up Wad Manager Install "IOS35-64-v1040.wad" and then when you install it hit the home Button 2 times and then restart your wii and then boot up Wad Manager again and this time install CIOSv7.wad and then restart your wii when its done installing, then We go on the next step.

STEP 4
Put your SD Card in your PC and go in to the "apps" folder and then go to the "Wad Manager" folder and copy it's boot.dol file and paste it on the root of your SD card then take it out of yoyr PC and back into your Wii. Boot up wad manager like the other apps then when you get to Wad Manager Install "HomeBrew Channel 1.01.wad" and when it finishes installing press the home button 2 times and it will restart your wii. and hbc should be there!

i'm calling fake.

1. bannerbomb hasn't been released yet
2. the link to bannerbaomb says the file was deleted by uploader

Reason: Deleted by uploader.
3. to install ios16 you'd first have to use any title deleter to uninstall the version already on the wii as it's a higher version

anyone tested this to work? And what will the HBC do? Will we be able to play burned games, or is there something extra to that for it to work on 4.0u?

you need the earlier (trucha vulnerable) version of ios16 in order to install fakesigned wads like cios_fix.wad

After performing this, will it allow for the Twilight Hack to work? Is this downgrading to a different firmware or what? Basically my question is: after doing this can someone play burned games when they have a virgin 4.0u Wii?

Anyone know (sorry I'm total noob, got a wii yesterday)

There's no way this could possibly work on a virgin 4.0 system! You simply cannot use Wad Manager to install a cIOS without first having a cIOS or vulnerable IOS installed for Wad Manager to use (none on 4.0)! The only way you could possibly get this to work is if you use CMDVDX34, Downgrade IOS35 and run Wad Manager from this IOS to install cIOS60.wad (this is how you get your foot in the door).

IOS16 won't install on a 4.0 Wii. What you do is run Comex's DVDX installer to downgrade IOS35, then install cIOS with Wad Manager 1.4 (running off of IOS35).

Secondly aside from Anytitle Deleter, you can't over write a higher version ios16 with a lower one without cios_fix.
Well you need to use IOS16 and Custom WM because cios_fix wont install.
secondly, i had an old version of IOS36 but when i Installed the newer version it just over wrote it.

Is there a list of file hashes for WADs? It would be useful to know so we can make sure someone isn't posting corrupt or malicious WAD files.

Here is what I have:

IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad
CRC32: 6EE4CC79
MD5: 9ED0D3E2E0A258B4C0E7BA4971800526
SHA-1: 494E77C7D82153BA2398D2A41A150EB91E8C7188

IOS36-64-v1042.wad
CRC32: 989DAB62
MD5: 0142CD153E87AFC4D368F04D2B89E930
SHA-1: 792933A29C22310BA9A324466F9765CD58B2D63E

If you need a utility to generate hashes, try HashTab: http://beeblebrox.org/hashtab/

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • 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.
