Hacking I'm having trouble with playing backups

[ganon45]

Hi, this is my first time posting on these forums and I am having trouble loading back ups with Soft Chip through the Homebrew Channel. When it first started up it showed some error stating that I didn't have an IOS249 present, so I selected to run the program with IOS236 and it loaded with no problem. After that I tried to load my backup disk and got this error: exception error: Ioct1 error (DI_ReadID).

From what I've read, I think my Wii should be able to play backups from dvd -rs, I typed my serial number(It starts with LU66) into that Wii drive site and it says: There is a 100% chance the chipset is Combined GC2-D3 with no drive chip. To my understanding, the Wii hasn't been sent in for repairs (it's my siblings) and was purchased several years back.

I've enabled the trucha bug> followed the Wanin and Hermes' cIOS guide and placed those files on the sd root dir (along with cMIOS-v4 Wiigator) and installed them through MMM Wad Manager>then installed Soft Chip


I was wondering if I was missing something? Do I need to do a custom install of the cIOS 249 to enable Soft Chip to work correctly? Any help would be appreciated

You need to install IOS249. You tried using IOS236, which cannot load backups. Use ModMii to install 249d2x56 and 250d2x57 (version 6). You might also wish to use NeoGamma R9 instead of Soft Chip.

Skip the slot 250 stuff for now, NeoGamma is not using that anyways. At all times, there's only 1 IOS or cIOS running, all others don't matter then.

I also recommend to use the latest NeoGamma, at least for testing until it works. It finally has proper read error codes...

Read the mini FAQ, and just skip the cMIOS and gamecube parts.

Thanks for the quick response, I've been trying to get my SoftMod up and running for the past few days now. I'll try these solutions out and let you guys know the results.

It's working for me now. Thank you guys, I've been tirelessly trying to figure out what was wrong and finally I've got things up and running. Thank you for the help
