Hacking vWii sneek

[Dharengo]

Pardon the double post. I'm on the step where I have to enter the command line in the DOS prompt. It tries to execute the command but it gives me "502 Bad Gateway" errors. Any idea what that means?

EDIT: Nevermind, I tried it again and it worked. Not sure what happened, but it's gone.

EDIT2: Not gonna make another double post so I'll just update this one:

The tutorial creates SNEEK. I haven't done it yet, but I'm assuming the guide works just as well for creating SNEEK+DI or UNEEK or similar.

EDIT3: Ok so I can now run SNEEK without problems. I can tell I'm in it because I cannot access the SD card anymore. MUCHO thanks for making this possible.

Is there a way to go back to the regular NAND without having to turn it off or return to Wii Menu?

EDIT4: Looks like it wasn't as easy as I thought. Attempting to launch it as SNEEK+DI gives me an everlasting "Waiting for ARM to reset PPC" message. Is it possible that the USB device I use is not correctly formatted? - When I run it as just SNEEK and run HBF, I can view all of my Homebrew, but when I run one I just get a black screen. I'm beginning to suspect that the USB device is indeed not correct.

I've never run SNEEK+DI, so I don't know. There is no way to return to the regular NAND except shutting it off.

Regardless, thanks for your guide and your replies. I didn't even think the stuff I wanted was possible (play WiiWare from my old Wii without doing that pesky data transfer) and now I can do that and more.

on a regular wii, i made a custom channel that toggled/renamed two different bootmii folders on my SD card (one for bootmii, one for sneek) and then triggered a reboot. i had this channel installed on my nand as well as within sneek, so i could launch this channel in either environment to reboot into the other. is there something similar i can achieve on the vwii? if i trigger a reboot while in vwii-sneek, and don't have a folder named SNEEK on my SD card, will it boot up normal vwii?

Not that I know of.

is the source code for the SD.zip you provide in your hacksden tutorial included in the sneek repo?

No, but it's on Google Code. I used the Trinux version of nswitch from here. Convert armboot.bin (generated when you compile vSNEEK) using raw2c.exe and put the resulting files (named armboot.h and armboot.c) in the source folder. Compile.

How can I use SNEEK with the images of my Wii games?
Should I use SNEEK+DI configuration? If positive, how can I get this worked? I read the whole thread several times but I have not found any tip or instructions to the point.
Sorry if the questions sound stupid but I'm total newbie on the hackNhomebrew scene. Moreover, English is not my native.
Pls help.
P.S. I have 32 GB SD card and external USB HDD drive.

I tried to load SNEEK and it gave me System Files are Corrupted error.

Did you do a dump of your vwii file system with FS toolbox and moved all the folders (shared1, shared2, etc) to the root of your SD card?

I haven't tried sneek+di on the vwii, but have on a regular wii. It is the correct configuration to run discex rips of games discs. It's easier to just use a usb loader to run games, in my opinion. Is there a reason you need to use sneek for that?

Of course, I did. I followed all the directions mentioned in JoostinOnline's tutorial. Moreover, I did it twice. With no success.

Sorry, I meant SNEEK+DI. There's no reason, 'cause I'm gonna use my external HDD USB drive to run discex rips.

Try using regular vSNEEK after doing what I suggested on HacksDen.

Neek2o Rev 96 beta 9.6

This is mainly for vWii users ...
The 7z file has:
* 4 wads (2 for Wii and 2 for vWii) for nSwitch Channel v4.2 (2 for Real nand and 2 for Emunand)

Are these channel wads to swtich between real vWii and emunand-vwii?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

yes indeed

Finally an update from OJ, sorely missed. Thanks to all involved.

Any idea where we can find the source code of this?

I'm not familiar with neek2o. I have sneek working on vWii already. Is it easy to switch to neek2o? What's the difference?

So, what is our project?
It is an enhancement of Crediar's sneek project. It has a number of new features:

• It can launch backup games in wbfs format from a fat32 formatted drive.
• It can use an emulated nand in a subfolder of the drive, and not only on the root of it.
• It can switch from one emulated nand to another on the fly. So you can run a game in it's own region nand.
• It has Uneek_usb_fs support. This means that homebrew can have usb access again with minor modifications, using the isfs filing system.
• It can coöperate with bootmii. It doesn't launch automatically every time on a bootmii as boot2 wii.
• It can run from SD or USB without a SD card inserted.
• It's has DM/DML/Quadforce support.
• It has 3TB and up HDD support.

[AbdallahTerro]

there's gonna be an official commit so sources will follow soon
and this build does all patches without the need of bootmii

Cool. Thanks for that info. Does neek2o support an emunand off a USB drive hidden with UStealth?
