The last four points (from install 4.0 to install GC channel) are optional
and you can choose to install other wads
Also you dont have to move the whole private folder, the save is enough

you can find the files on hbc.hackmii.com and google (and gbatemp)

nice guide you should add an optional install for preloader v.29 and cIOScorps for brick protection and disc channel loading but otherwise its pretty good

erolz · Apr 2, 2009

just updated the guide.

comments please?

monk3r · Apr 2, 2009

Is the CIOSCorp contained within SoftMii 2.1.1 fine to use with this then? Or is there a newer version?

erolz · Apr 2, 2009

that will do fine

There is a newer version from CIOSCorp, being version 2. You can find it within the latest MiiWii installation pack.

Seems like I got my confirmation for CIOSCorp on 4.0 much sooner.

feidhlim1986 · Apr 2, 2009

When in this guide should you install PreLoader v0.29 or does it matter?

erolz · Apr 3, 2009

think it doenst mater...but not shure..
comments please?

Lubbo · Apr 3, 2009

preloader v.29 only works on firmware 4.0
also for cIOScorp to work on 4.0 you need to install CIOS60BF.wad

any comments? how to ugrade from a 3.1 system?

mark.m.moran · Apr 6, 2009

Hi guys,
Where can I get all the needed files? Is there a pack somewhere I can download?

Cheers,
Mark

pika9323 · Apr 6, 2009

There is an error in the TuT.
On 3.3V2 and 3.4 you cant just install the cIOS.
It is blocked (error ret -2011 i think).
You need to install the IOS16 first and then a cIOS Wad with the custom Wad Manager.

Update to 3.4 or 3.3 (using disc updates), then downgrade to 3.2
or use the any region changer

Twilight hack and homebrew channel on http://hbc.hackmii.com
Some others on http://wiibrew.org
And the rest has to bee googled

@tj_cool,
Thanx for that mate. I already have the HBC installed and Gamma too.

To get USB loader up and running what would I need to do? Just a bit confused about which cIOS I need to install and all that. I am running 3.2E currently. Would I be best to go ahead and do the safe update to 4.0 as outlined about?

Cheers,
Mark

tj_cool · Apr 6, 2009

Install the newest cIOS36rev9 first
That should enable the USB loader to work
And it is needed for the safe update too

ok. so the right way for a 3.3v2 and 3.4 system is this?

Firmware 3.3, 3.3v2v2 or 3.4
1. Extract twilight-hack-v0.1-beta1.zip to the SD card
2. Copy the_homebrew_channel-1.0.1 “boot.dol” to the root of the SD card
3. Copy the hack from the SD card over to the system menu
4. Run Zelda. Talk to the nearby man to initiate the install of the homebrew channel.

Installing 4.0 firmware:
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel, select the IOS16 installer ??? (were can i find this file or wad?)
2. Launch the Homebrew Channel, select custom Wad Manager and install ???? what

3. Launch the Homebrew Channel, select the the MIOS Patcher and press X on the Gamecube controller before installing the patch, then GCN backups will boot through Gamma Loader channels.
4. Launch the Homebrew Channel and run the 4.0 Updater
5. Launch the Homebrew Channel and run the IOS60 updater
-say NO to install IOS61
-say YES to install IOS60
-say YES to patch IOS60
-say NO to install the shop channel
