Unfortunately I don't have a disc copy of Lego Star Wars to try this. I could try running the game from USB Loader GX as I can get this to run from homebrew launcher, but I am unsure if this would work in the same way. I can already run YAWMM from smashstack but when I select the IOS50 I created using NUSD as suggested above (IOS58-64-v6432.wad) it fails when installing this wad.

I think it may be to do with the wad i have, unless I am misunderstanding your reply. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. My original post was asking someone for a clean IOS58 vwii .wad but the replies I received suggested I use the unofficial NUSD vWii version, which appears to download the correct IOS58-64-v6432 which I then tried to install using the IOS58 channel i installer posted by
damysteryman. Unfortunately the install failed, leading me to believe that the IOS58.wad i created using NUSD is corrupt as it appears to have worked for others who have been sent a clean IOS58.wad by other members.

I appreciate your help, thanks.

UPDATE:

Issue now fixed. Using an official version of IOS58, my homebrew channel is now back up and running. This all began with me trying to install a USB Loader GX forwarder, (none were previously working) I read on a thread somewhere that I required IOS58 (which I now know I already have), so I tried to use a WAD to download it, which didn't work, then I read a thread to use NUSD, which was a massive mistake.

After installing it my HBC wouldn't load, so I deleted it. Tried to reinstall hackmii using smashstack but got stuck at scam screen with no press 1 option.

To remedy this I used smashstack to launch YAWMM where I installed the IOS58 Channel Wad Fixer. And with a clean IOS58 I managed to get my HBC back up and working.

As others have said beware, I have learned my lesson. It appears this is quite a common occurance with us Noobs, I had previously modded my wii and not used it in years, now I have my Wii U, I wanted everything on one system so I tried it. I just wasn't aware about using wii IOS's on vWii as I thought it was all the same.

Though I still can't seem to get a working forwarder for usb loader gx if anybody has any suggestions i'd be really grateful.

Thanks for all the help :)

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    sleeping with uremum

  • 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.
