You can revert by replacing the modified OSv1 with its original ANCAST image.
I can send you my current build once I have access to my Wii U later this week. (will most likely place on the github)

I am willing to test it too if you need it.

Make sure to backup your NAND stuff and the OSv1. Should be in the file directory Karlmann told us if we used Teconmoon injector.

And make sure the OHBC is installed IT IS NOT THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL Search open homebrew channel there should be a github

Thanks! Just checked and yeah it is the OHBC. And I found OSv1 with ftpiiu and backed it up (it is located at storage_slc/sys/title/00050010/10004001/code/, if anyone reading this wants to know). Aditionally, I have a full NAND backup and ISFShax :D.

the issue exists with ES_Sign regardless of whether the breaking change was in ES or IOSC, this is just a pointless technicality. i was already able to work around it so there shouldn't be any more issues with wii vc

This is what developer said to what you said about ES not being issue or something

Do you know if this could allow for a second gamepad to be used by provisioning it to a classic controller / a fakemote?

@Karlmann
I followed the guide but im confused - do i install priiloader then replace the dol? When i try to open the modified dol it just boots me to priiloader even if it isnt installed

Do you know how to find the vWii nand title as stated in the github that holds the ANCAST image thing?

Using fakemote requires finding the new offsets in HAI-IOS. I am more confident in fakemote enabling using the gamepad and wii remotes on vc injects at the same time for official applications.

You should replace the dol with the compiled priiloader installer. I would recommend uninstalling priiloader and then reinstalling.

There are two ways to obtain BC-NAND:
1. Use FTPiiU everywhere to extract the binary from vWii title 0000000100000200
2. Download the title directly using the vWii version of NUS downloader

I tried this but even if priiloader is uninstalled and i boot the modified dol it goes to the menu

Booting thru Wii VC ohbc loads SSL module and this DVD thing. Do i uninstall, reinstall THEN place modified dol?

Alright how do i trim the ancast image / replace it? Where is it compiled?

I think the issue is from relatively recent changes on my end not being correctly implemented.

I am looking into whether the commit pushed to github has issues. Additionally, the SSL module may be unloaded when a IOS reload is requested. To address I am working on manually adding a custom IOS module to the fw.img directly that can load other IOS modules every time HAI-IOS is ran.

fw.img should be located in /code directory of vc injects. Additionally, it should be available in the rhythm heaven fever title teconmoon's injector downloads as part of generating a vc inject.

That explains it! I do not want to be a burden. Was the modified ancast image included in the compiled folder? The installation is confusing to me apologies

@awesomee if you use HxD I think (I think!!) you can search for the hex value ''EFA282D9'' and when it's found you just remove everything before it.

Thank you!!

@Karlmann Thanks too.

@MysticStarlight Found it!
What you are doing is grabbing the 00000003.app file and putting that in Hexed.it trim what you guys said Simple as that lmao
Post automatically merged:

The process is simple
1. backup the ancast image and your osv1
2. Trim the ANCAST image (The one i needed help trimming)
3. PUT THIS TRIMMED IMAGE IN THE OSv1 RENAMED TO boot.bin ! DO NOT PUT TRIMMED IMAGE IN THE OTHER THING

Okay i trimmed the ancast image and put it in osv1. Opening the homebrew channel inject boots directly to priiloader.

That part is working correctly. Unfortunately, due to other HAI-IOS issues ES_Launch_Title does not work so the only way to get the homebrew channel to work is by having HAI-Priiloader boot it. This part will certainly not work if the fw.img is not patched for a homebrew or forwarder inject as those are automatically patched to enable AHBPROT access and disable mem2 protection.

Okay another issue is that in priiloader the input from gamepad wont register. Do i need to use a wiimote?

I just need to know what folder i need to patch fw.img. Again thanks for all the help. I showed the picture. Above

If it works properly, HAI-Priiloader should automatically boot OHBC. The location of fw.img is dependent on the id for the inject.
