v 1.1, No HBC. I still like the delete it all and install the update idea

ok BUT let's try a few more things first.( I'm concerned you won't have write/delete privileges for the NAND to delete IOS's).

Can you TOTALLY fill up your vWii NAND with a bunch of crap?(whatever,does NOT matter).
You would be doing that for 2 reasons:
1 it will overwrite some of what you did in NAND in case you send it back to Nintendo (but NOT everything because of wear-leveling you would have to write many,many times and there is still no guarantee it would be all gone)
2 I read somewhere that HBC might have a bug with low free space in NAND(where it still may install--sorry I can't find source/link ATM)
Let's try that,first.

Also it would be great if anyone knew how to force HBC off of IOS58(which is wii version on this console instead of vWii version) and on to IOS59 or IOS36 or IOS38 (actually ANY IOS would be better that IOS58 right now)

k, What shall I fill it up with? have u got a link to a file?

you could fill it up with ANYTHING that would normally fill up nand.
you want to avoid ANYTHING you wouldn't want Nintendo to see.

This should be airline38 kkline38 webpage (you have to translate it but it's easy in chrome browser)

If you want to use wii mod lite, you may want to try a newer/different version(I believe there may have been a USB issue w/v1.1) or try installing his 249/250
If anything requires a password I believe it's just (www.<sitename>.com)

Suddenly I'm being quoted in so many threads! :lol:

Use the regular version of SysCheck HDE. The one posted earlier was a custom made one to skip vIOS36. This is the modified version of Title Lister that logs everything.


The reason why I had him try the other version of SysCheck was because of this following post by OP.
I do NOT believe he was successful with the most recently released official version of SysCheck.

I don't have a NAND backup.
I had one saved on my removable HDD but it got damaged and everything was lost.
I just ran syscheck and it stopped responding on ios223.
The guide said that if it stops responding it means it's corrupted.

Until the next official release (no official timeline on that btw), I'll leave this link up:
Edit: Link removed because 2.3.0+ supports it.

You can change what IOS is skipped by editing the arguments section of meta.xml. At the moment it only allows you to skip a single IOS, but I'll let it fix multiple ones in my next release.

Hey I know this probably isn't going to work but I was thinking that I'm going to attempt to load IOS236-v65535.wad through wii mod lite 1.4 just in case. Is that the right file? What slots can I install it on?

Code:
Title=1-ca (IOS202) vers: 255.255 (65535)
Title=1-de (IOS222) vers: 255.255 (65535)
Title=1-df (IOS223) vers: 255.255 (65535)
Title=1-e0 (IOS224) vers: 255.255 (65535)
Title=1-f5 (IOS245) vers: 82.18 (21010)
Title=1-f6 (IOS246) vers: 82.18 (21010)
Title=1-f7 (IOS247) vers: 82.18 (21010)
Title=1-f8 (IOS248) vers: 82.18 (21010)
Title=1-f9 (IOS249) vers: 82.18 (21010)
Title=1-fa (IOS250) vers: 82.18 (21010)
Title=1-fb (IOS251) vers: 82.18 (21010)
Title=1-fc (IOS252) vers: 82.18 (21010)

you have got on ton of slots still open.
BUT before you do, did you see my post about HBC 'LULZ' still appears to be installed?
You should try 1 of JoostinOnline forwarders to see if it starts.

With the newer version of wii mod lite are your usb devices now working?

hey it keeps on saying that I have not contributed enough to DL the file. Will it let u DL it?

http://translate.google.com/transla..._v1.6.rar%22+%22sendspace%22&biw=1366&bih=667

It says in the description

"In Wii or vWii environment will be made ​​to remove IOS wad file name will automatically add (Wii) or (vWii) to differentiate the Wii version or vWii edition.
For example IOS58-64-v6176 (Wii). Wad, IOS58-64-v6432 (vWii). Wad"

Will that help us?

Mostly likely No.
It just seems to rename IOS so there is NO doubt whether it is a wii or vWii IOS
https://www.sendspace.com/file/1ixfzj

Provided the ONLY things wrong with your system are:
the wii cios's installed incorrectly on a vWii
AND
the wii IOS58 installed incorrectly on a vWii.

If some(absolutely ANY) program/app(either wii/vWii) can delete IOS58(the wii version), then maybe just maybe HBC will install with a different IOS to allow you to install the correct cios's for the vWii.

Thanks for the file worm28

This may be promising. WiiMod has detected that I have the wrong ios and it's asking if I want to install 65280 stub. BTW whats a stub?

    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.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
