Hacking Downgraded a friend's Wii from 3.4U to 3.2U, now GH:WT wants to up

ringorinfret · Jan 20, 2009

edit: title should say that guitar hero : world tour wants to UPDATE the system

I guess the worst that could happen is lose the launcher (wiigator) or HBC ? please let me know as I have to advise this person. I looked up the update contained on GH:WT and it seems to be 3.1 v4 ?? wth is that? and why would it update if the system is at 3.2U....??

see http://wum.talevas.com/?page=dev for update list

thanks for your help

install starfall and block updates!

donchen · Jan 20, 2009

i am also curious about this.

If i block the updates, will i still be able to play? Does GH:WT require some other files?

FenrirWolf · Jan 20, 2009

No wii games actually require updates.

DKAngel · Jan 20, 2009

it might require some other ios that is missing

donchen · Jan 20, 2009

So blocking the updates using Starfall doesn't help right?

So what is the work around for the poster?

tueidj · Jan 20, 2009

GHWT uses IOS37. Either you don't have it, or have downgraded to 3.2 and the system menu doesn't think you have it. Easiest solution is to just let the update happen, it won't hurt anything.

thanks guys,

I guess we will update and see, the suggestion that an IOS is missing could be true but I followed the procedure and all was great. Its just running the original GH:WT disk that wants to update the system. strange

tueidj · Jan 20, 2009

Like I said, when you force a downgrade the system menu tends to forget you already have IOS37 (or 38, 51, anything higher than 36). The game needs it to run so it prompts for the update.

ringorinfret · Jan 20, 2009

and does updating alterate the HBC or the backup launcher ? (gamma)

tueidj · Jan 20, 2009

No, the GHWT update contains nothing that could affect them.

Diffusion · Jan 20, 2009

It's probably just trying to upgrade a lower version IOS to a higher version.

Hells Guardian · Jan 20, 2009

Actually installing the disk update check with starfall is highly recomended. period. If you downgraded all those things are in place just not noted by the system menu it's self or is an older version. It should have no trouble playing the game. If it does than I guess you can update but otherwise you should be just fine.

enable disc updates in starfall, then accept the updates off the original disc. disable disc updates in starfall. check system menu .. conclude you are still on 3.2 and GH WT actually works =)

i know because i found out myself.

ive got a 1st gen wii and a wiifree modchip
i had a rly old firmware

now that ive updated the wii using gh:wt the wii says something like "unknown device" when i wanna start gh!
what can i do about this? downgrade?

JaapDraad · Jan 30, 2009

I had the same problem. And indeed solved it by enabling disc updates in starfall en disabling them again after I update from the GH WT disc. Everything still works (HBC, Gamma loader)

I downgraded a number of Wii's now using Emperor of Canada's tutorial. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=118446

The tutorial suggest to install IOS38-64-v3609.wad. I usually install it, but I might have skipped it for this guy. Could anyone confirm that that might be the cause of the problem.

tueidj · Jan 31, 2009

The GHWT update doesn't contain IOS38, if that's what you're asking.
