pqi 2GB sd installs, but won't boot BootMii. It also won't allow the installation log to be written after the install.

That is strange, Kodak 2GB SD doesn't work for me. (It only works for install).

Kodak 2GB SD Card (No SDHC) - Install successfully, after install hackmii is unable to flush log and mount file system. No bootmii screen when rebooted with SD card in (FAT32).

HP SDHC 8GB card does not install bootmii using BannerBomb, but if the installed files are copied to it, it will work without problems.

But my 1gb memorex had no probs at all 100%

just wanted to post up here with my findings as well.

I have a Kingston 512mb SD card that boots into bootmii instantaneously. The downside being of course not enough room to perform the nand dump. Good news is that i can use a 2 card method.

I use the 512 card to boot into bootmii, and then take that card out, insert my Kingston 2gb card. Then proceed to go into the nand dump and write it to the 2gb card. Voila perfect dump, no bad blocks! Safely stored away for backup.

The reason I had to go this route simply was because #1 the 512mb card is too small for the dump and #2 the 2gb wont boot, but works perfect in every other area.

So with that all said, im now happy as I feel alot more secure in messing about from here on out. Cheers.

- But if i run bootmii from IOS, i can save/read a nand backup on the sdhc

KINGSTON 2GB SD
- boots ok, saves/reads nand backup ok

I have not been able to find this card for purchase online anywhere.

In fact, I have yet to read about any 8GB SDHC Class 6 card, micro or standard, that works 100% with the Wii and BootMii.

EDIT: I guess it's back to my 2GB SD card for now, which is a bummer. I was so excited about my $15 8GB SDHC Class 6 card and then I found out it won't work for the single purpose I bought it for.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
