Hacking Animal Crossing City Folk Update

harrybuttox · Nov 16, 2008

The game disk comes with the homebrew killer Oct 23rd Update. Every time I go back to 3.2U though I have to re-update. Is there any sort of stealth firmware I can use?

just boot with GeckoOS 1.07b

works fine on 3.2

there are channels around, and the Wiigator launcher channels will work too.

Install Starfall?

quim69 · Nov 16, 2008

Surely starfall will stop the update too?

Beatchu^ great minds and all that.. ;>

Have you confirmed this somewhere? My son installed the updates from the game yesterday (retail version) and I did not see IOS51 in the list afterwards. If you have seen this confirmed somewhere please link to the source.

Thanks

Just use starfall and choose bypass the updates or wait till csm(custom system menu) come out which has that same feature.I have all starfall hacks installed and they work great.
And are you sure its the oct 23rd or just the normal 3.3

animal_crossing_fix_wad.rar

just install that wad, it will allow you to boot animal crossing through disc channel on 3.2 with updates blocked by whatever

Can someone confirm this?
And can someone confirm if I can install this on a PAL wii, and play my PAL patched accf through the discchannel afterwards?

Not showing up on my wad manger..Any ideas why? (Other wads show up just fine)

EDIT :

Alright Animal Crossing City Folk NTSC USA Scsrubbed works but not..Animal_Crossing_City_Folk_USA_Wii-Goomba

With the Goomba version it shows up.. The game disc could not be read. Refer to the Wii operations Manual for details.

The wad worked fine with the scrubbed version. Any explanation why I get this error with Goomba's version? Bad burn maybe? Burnt at 6x. Using Wiikey 2 on a NTSC wii version 3.2U

Did you un-rare it before putting it on your SD card?

Diffusion · Nov 17, 2008

Yeah. IOS38-64-v3609.wad installs IOS38 that should work with Goomba's release (and the retail copy) too, it's probably a bad burn.

I hope so, just checked the IOS36 wad i've been using to perform cIOS installs and thats a jap and all has been ok on my pal wii. But even so I would like to know for sure that instaling this in its jap form will not be a problem. (just checked and all wads in my ntsc cod waw are jap so its looking good)

Would a backup copy version of Animal crossing be able to play online if i use starfall or the animal crossing fix .wad that was posted. will my wii get bricked?

phyl0x · Nov 17, 2008

It's been confirmed to work on PAL.

IOSes aren't region specific AFAIK, just the system menu and channels.

I wouldn't worry too much about the update yet. I got the game yesterday and I was so glad to finally have it that I couldn't help but update, hoping it wouldn't break my homebrew.

Guess what, it all still works perfectly. Homebrew Channel, emulators, WAD Manager, Backup Loader, various utilities... All of it still works. I'm not sure what the update was or did, but I already had the Wii Shop Channel cIOS installed, so it couldn't be that. I assume it may have something to do with Wii Speak, but that's seems to be about it.

Now, I'm not saying that you SHOULD update, we all know there is a risk associated with updating from Nintendo, but so far I don't have any problems.

All the Animal Crossing update does is install System Menu 3.3 and install the new versions of IOS30 and IOS31, and it adds the new IOS38.

So basically.... 3.3v1 + IOS38

All the other IOSes in the update partition are the old ones that still have the fakesign bug.
