Hi, I am new here. I am looking to experement with a wii U (which is stuck deleting) I have found some excellent tutorials here which require a teensy 2.0++. I am sure there are a few of these floating around, however they appear to be phasing out. Does anyone know if the teensy 4.1 can be modified or substituted for this? Thank you to all ! ( I apoplogize if there is already a discussion on this, I couldn't find one)
Teensy 4.1 Wii U noob question

Hi, Thank you for the reply!. I purchased the wii U already bricked. When turned on it boots but has the deleting all contents and settings loop. I haven't been able to get past that. I was able to use the new method by Gary Odernicht to get to boot recovery and dump the otp, but from what I understand, I may need to hard mod. I dont know if anyone has attempted to homebrew it or not.
Ok then the Factory reset is probably also wiping the logs, which makes debugging this problem more anoying. Can you got to System Information in the recovery menu and post the manufacturer and the CID of the MLC/eMMC?
I see a similar problem in a German Forum: https://forum.wii-homebrew.com/inde...nach-dem-Booten-ein/?postID=715725#post715725 but the thread is moving very slow.
I don't have a solution, we would have to investigate that together. If you want I attached the current work in progress version of my recovery menu with built in NAND Dumper. You can use that to dump the NAND to a 64GB sdcard and then extract it at the PC. Maybe this gives us more insight.
Maybe your eMMC is bad, then we would see the broken files during the extraction.

I'm getting it all set up now. Just trying to put my hands on my SD card reader......

I believe I have been able to use the files you provided, correctly. I didn't see an option for nand dump, but I was able to dump slc and mlc. Is that what is needed? Also, I'm not sure how to upload those files. Do I need to zip them?
Last edited by damUREZ,
yes, dump slc + mlc is the option. Don't upload them here. You can check the mlc dump yourself with wfs-extract. But first we need the dump.
EDIT: don't be concerend about errors during the slc dump, these are a problem of the dumper, not the slc.
But errors during the mlc dump indicate a problem with the mlc / eMMC

Ok, thank you for you're patience. I'll give wfs-extract a try. Just to be clear- I'm using this tool to extract the nand from mlc?

UPDATE- I have run wfs-extract and after playing with the file structure, I am pretty sure I've got everything pointing in the right direction. When I execute, I get a message saying - Failed to open OTP: Keyfile: Failed to open file I figured maybe the otp.bin was corrupted so I re-dumped the otp.bin and seeprom.bin again. That didn't work either. I want to mention that I do not have the mlc.bin (4 files) merged. Not sure if that matters- Thanks

Hi, I'm away from the desk atm but I think I snapped a pic. I ended up merging the files into one. It was 4 mlc files at like 4 gb each. Edit- oh wow I just realized that my sd was 8 gb. I usually use a 32gb. When I dumped it, I put the sd card in my card reader and moved the files to my laptop. The mlc dumped into 4 files. Total of 6.7 gb. I merged them and tried to use wfs-extract on the laptop. I will have to upload a pic of how I ran it in just a while. Just got done putting a transmission in a jaguar

I see... I'm going to have to get a larger SD card then. You're awesome
I didn't even think about that. I have larger usb 3.0 drives, but the recovery menu has to be run on sd right?Similar threads

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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
