THIS GUIDE IS OUTDATED AND NO LONGER MAINTAINED

It does however still contain a lot of useful information.


EXPECT changes in folder structures, naming schemes and other MAJOR differences.


For the latest info on SNEEK, please visit here or here

How to compile the Latest SNEEK(+DI) & UNEEK(+DI) source using Windows OS.

Required:

* devkitProUpdater-1.5.0
* Latest build of Python
* Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (needed to avoid possible msvcr100.dll error)
* NUS Downloader
* MakeKeyBin1.1

Links:
sliksvn: http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download/
devkitProUpdater-1.5.0: http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/...ed%20Installer/
Latest build of Python: http://www.python.org/download/
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en
NUS Downloader: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUS_Downloader
MakeKeyBin1.1 http://www.mediafire.com/?tizymvwrkhm

Install all the above programs to C:/

After installing all the programs above, Follow the guide below.

Guide:

1. Acquire the IOS80-v6943 0000000e.app and IOS60-v6174 00000001.app files using NUS Downloader and the key.bin file

1a. Use MakeKeyBin to generate a key.bin and place it in the same directory as NUS Downloader.

makekeybin.jpg
makekeybindone.jpg


1b. Place the key.bin in the same directory as NUSD

2. Open NUSD

2a. Make sure in NUSD you have the Decrypt box checked, (if it does not give you a decrypt box you do not have a proper key.bin or the key.bin is not in the
proper directory with NUSD)

2b. Go to the Database box to find the specific IOS you need as stated above or as in the pics below.

2c. Click "Start NUS Download"

ios60-1.jpg


3. Place the 0000000e.app and 00000001.app files located below, in the c:\sneek folder before attempting to compile SNEEK.

ios80_eapp.jpg
ios60_1app.jpg


4. Find a command prompt

4a. Go to start --> Run --> Type: cmd and hit enter, this will bring up a command prompt it should read:

c:\user\nameofurcpu> NOTE: If it has a different letter there, just type in c: and hit enter

5. Type this in the command prompt

cd c:\

5a. Hit enter, your command prompt should read:

c:\>

6. Downloading SNEEK source

6a. Type in the command prompt or copy and paste this in the window:


CODE
svn checkout http://sneek.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ sneek


6b. Hit enter and wait.


You will now have a copy of SNEEK2 source located at c:/sneek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is Not a requirement

If you choose not to do this you can proceed to step 8. found below.

However, if you would like to compile your own armboot.bin proceed to step 7.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Go to your Control Panel --> System --> Advanced System Settings --> Environment Variables

7a. Scroll down and highlight "Path", then click "Edit".

7b. Enter in the list after any ";"

c:\Python26;

example:

c:\devkitPro\msys\bin;c:\Python26;C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\

7c. The armboot.bin will now be found in the \sneek\mini-tree-mod folder after compiling sneek

EnvironmentVariables.jpg


8. Grab the armboot.bin from here if you didn't perform the above steps

Download armboot.bin: http://code.google.com/p/sneek/downloads/list

8a. Place it in the x:/bootmii folder

9. Compiling SNEEK

9a. Type in the command prompt:

cd sneek

9b. Hit enter,

your command prompt should now read c:\sneek>

10. Type in the command prompt

build_boot2.cmd

10a. Hit enter and wait patiently .

If all goes well you should have your SNEEK2 files in the c:\sneek folder

Files created in the c:\sneek folder:
boot2_di.bin = sdcard as nand (with DI module)(NO DVD DRIVE SUPPORT)(165KB) SNEEK+DI
boot2_sd.bin = sdcard as nand (no DI)(DVD DRIVE SUPPORT)(165KB) SNEEK
boot2_usb.bin = USB as nand (no DI)165KB) UNEEK
boot2_usb.bin = USB as nand (with DI module)(165KB) UNEEK+DI
di.bin = (usb module)(used for SNEEK+DI & UNEEK+DI)(33KB)

Files created in the c:\sneek\sneek\mini-tree-mod folder:
armboot.bin = All forms of SNEEK has same use in the same place with the same name.

Wii Game File and Folder Structure & Identifying required IOS.
Required:
* The Latest DiscEX by crediar
* Wii game in ISO format

Links:
Latest DiscEX by crediar: http://code.google.com/p/sneek/downloads/list

Guide:

1. Download the latest DiscEX by crediar and extract to c:/DiscEX

2. Find a command prompt (Start --> Run --> Type: cmd and press enter.

3. Change the directory to where DiscEX is located. (For me it is on the root of my "C" drive) Therefore, I would type this:

cd c:\

4. Then type this to change the directory to DiscEx,

cd DiscEX

5. Make sure you have a game, example: ssbb.iso in the same folder as /DiscEX and type,

DiscEx ssbb.iso

6. Hit enter and wait.

7. When complete copy the folder to where your games will be and place it in the /games folder.

example: On a FAT32, 32KB or below Clusters, Primary, Active SD/USB.

usb:/games/SSBB12/files/ (a lot of files....)
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/main.dol
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/apploader.img
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/fst.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/boot.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/bi2.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/ticket.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/cert.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/tmd.bin
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Identifying required IOS for sneek per Wii game.iso

1. Open tmd.bin in a hex editor

2. Look at offset 0x018B.

3. Convert the value from hexadecimal to decimal to obtain the IOS number.

You can verify in sneek nand, by looking at the same folder name 00000001/000000xx/

tmdbinIOSneededhexeditor.png


--------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternative Method Below
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Or use wit:

1. Download WIT

2. Place a copy of tmd.bin from the game in the WIT directory.

2. Type in the command line:

wit dump tmd.bin

It prints something like:


CODE
Dump of file tmd.bin


Real path: .../tmd.bin
ID & type: RTYP, TMD.BIN
File size: 208/hex = 520 = 0 MiB

Issuer: Root-CA00000001-CP00000004
Signature type: 10001/hex = 65537
Version: 0
CA version: 0
Signer version: 0
System version: 00000001 00000023 = IOS 35 = IOS 0x23
Title ID: 00010000 52545950 = '....RTYP'
Title type: 1/hex = 1
Group ID: 3031/hex = 12337
Access rights: 0/hex = 0
Title version: 0/hex = 0
Boot index: 0/hex = 0
N(content): 1/hex = 1
Content #0, ID: 0/hex = 0
Content #0, index: 0/hex = 0
Content #0, type: 3/hex = 3
Content #0, size: ff7c0000/hex = 4286316544
Content #0, hash: 144e3e81 47c6ab29 2190b5a8 c4b1ccc9 633ed047
Backup your discs with SNEEK:
-dump mode can dump your discs in RAW format to HDD
-settings are now accessed via the PLUS(X) button
-dump mode is accessed via the MINUS(Y) button

Important notes on the dumping mode:

The dumping mode is still experimental!
The disc you want to dump must be in the Wii from start up!
It does NOT support changing the disc while running and dump another disc. You
have to restart the Wii for now.
As SNEEK is using FAT32 the files are splitting into 4GB chunks, every OS has a
copy command which is able to join files.
(Just assure you join the files on an HDD which supports large files)
During the dumping burn-in protection doesn't work!
During the dumping the SNEEK menu is not displayed please just wait until it
shows "Dumped: ....".
Approximate dumping times depending on your HDD speed!!
GC : 5mins
Wii-SL: 16mins
Wii-DL: 29mins
Accessing the SNEEK+DI Menu and the SNEEK configuration options:
To get in SNEEK DI menu you can use a GC controller in port 1 or a Wii remote.

In the "SNEEK MENU" screen:

(using your GC controller) Press start -> select game using d-pad -> press A -> press start -> game will load now in Disc Channel

(using your Wii Remote) Press "1" -> select game using d-pad -> press A -> press start -> game will load now in Disc Channel

1. Press start on the GC controller or "1" on your Wii remote to access the game selection menu.

2. Use the d-pad to scroll through the games and press A to select the game.

2b. If using the GC controller, Press start again to return to the system menu.

3. If everything is working, whatever game is currently in the disc channel will disappear

(i.e. you'll see the eject disc animation)

4. The disc channel will then appear empty.

5. Click on the disc channel.

6. It will then load up the banner for whatever game you chose.

NOTE: Gamecube controller has to be plugged before booting the Wii. Connecting it once the system menu is showing doesn't work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To access the SNEEK configuration:

1. Press "1" -> in the SNEEK game menu.

2. Press "B" to open the Configuration Menu.

3. Pressing "B" again closes the Configuration Menu.

3 short flashes: The kernel.bin is not found on sd and or usb
4 short flashes: Failed to load the requested IOS (missing IOS, missing TMD/Ticket/content)
5 short flashes: "Could not open or read sd:/sneek/kernel.bin"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't get UNEEK+DI to boot

Check to make sure you have a game in the /games folder as UNEEK+DI will not boot otherwise.

If you can't get a specific game to boot, but others do:

Check if you have the required IOS installed on your nand that the game needs.

A few games won't boot because they used the incorrect IOS or didn't have the correct version number of the ios installed.

See the " Wii Game File and Folder Structure & Identifying required IOS" part of the guide for help with identifying game IOS.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SD support for Wii applications is currently disabled by default,.

This may lead to a corrupt NAND, but you can still try to enable it by following these instructions:

1. Before compiling, search for this string in the main.c of the ES module
  • SDStatus = 0x00000002;
and change it to
  • SDStatus = 0x00000001;
Note: this feature is buggy and might break the FS on your SD card.

make a backup before using this feature!

Reading from SD has been told to work, but writing should be an issue.

What is SNEEK and How does it do what it does
QUOTE
sneek is basically just a way to lie to the PPC in the wii. the wii has 2 processors ARM and PPC. games, the system menu, channels, most homebrew, and pretty much every other program that accepts user input and draws on the screen run on the PPC. when these programs want information from the wii's internal memory, internet, dvd, sd card, or pretty much anywhere else, they have to ask the program running on the ARM (an IOS usually) for it (except when the wii is in gamecube mode).


sneek runs on the ARM and it redirects where information comes from and in some cases, patches that information with false data. the end result is that the program running on the PPC asks for data from the wii's nand and it gets it from the sd card instead. if the PPC wants data from the dvd drive, sneek can give it data from a usb drive instead. when the system menu asks how much space is used for channels, sneek flat out lies about it and gives a low number so the system menu doesnt give the "system memory is full" message.

about cIOS and sneek, since IOS and sneek both run on the arm, there is a chance that they will not play nicely together. they are both trying to patch stuff and be smart, but they dont realize that each other is there and both are trying to be smart. the end result is that when sneek tries to load a cIOS, it doesnt load all of it and the parts of it that do load start doing their normal cIOS stuff and end up patching memory where sneek is and both of them end up not working right.
(Thanks giantpune)

Be sure tnod32 if you use it, or it would not download the exe files proper from devkitpro under windows 7 64bit
(at least i had that problem)

Is it normal that it compiles with alot of warnings?

Mayby i should download and install python26 64bit instead of 32bit?

Great guide. Thanks! Works perfectly, one thing to add to the above... when you go to command prompt, you may have to type "c:\" first, mine starts in D: for some reason. It may be worth adding this too for completeness:

Filestructure - SNEEK:
sd:/bootmii/armboot.binboot2.bin
di.bin
your NAND FS dumpusb:/games/
Filestructure - UNEEK:
sd:/bootmii/armboot.binboot2.binusb:/boot2.bin
your NAND FS dump
Source: http://rvlution.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30

Also, I believe boot2_di.bin means you get no DVD support.

I managed to compile with the normal guide, but I can only get it to run from SD. For uneek, what cIOS do you have to be on, and what IOS and base IOS to you have to install it to.

I also might not have the right cluster size, but I can´t tell because partition magic claims my whole drive is bad (2 partitions, one for wbfs, and one for nand emu etc.) Is there any small tool I can use to check/resize the cluster size.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Thanks ChokeD for writing up a quick tutorial on successfully compiling SNEEK. I learned how to compile SNEEK 2 weeks ago, but I hope that this can make it easier for people that are new to SNEEK so that they don't need to read through 130+ pages of posts on the original thread to figure it out.

I just added some file/folder structure thanks to wilsoff just now.

If this does not work for you and you DID produce the files without error you may need a few other files included to what you already have.

1 file I know for sure of is the

region.bin file

this helps identify your Wii's region to sneek as sneek by default is set to EUR

another file is the font.bin file

this fixes the black screen upon boot in some cases.

these files are to be placed in the x:\root with the NAND

You can find both of these in the SNEEK2 thread.

As a suggestion, it might be worth it to include the following:

-instructions on how to access the game selection menu on 4.2e
-how to build a minimalistic NAND from scratch using showmiiwads
-a description of slot.bin (for those who don't have 4.2e and need to switch games)

Again, thanks for writing up this tutorial.

I would like a description of those myself.

and if someone comes up with it I'll add it and put them in the credits.

That's the best I can do.

Well, I don't feel qualified to discuss the game selection menu because I have not tried it out yet and my emulated NAND is 4.2U. I hope that someone that is savvy with porting offsets in preloader can look at the source and change the offsets for 4.2U. One of these days I'm going to region change my emulated NAND and mess around with the game selection menu.

As for slot.bin, it is a file that is automatically generated by SNEEK when games are detected in the USB drive. As games are installed, new values for them are generated in hex.

For example, on my NAND Call of Duty 3 is 00 00 00 00 since I installed it first, and NSMBW is 00 00 00 01 since I installed it second etc...

If you want to switch games, you need to open slot.bin with a hex editor and change the value. For example, if I want to play NSMBW, I edit slot.bin to 00 00 00 01. Hope this helps.

As a final suggestion: you could include this link for installing games.

that'll happen if you rename the files to boot.bin... rename them to boot2.bin.

For me having the armboot.bin and the boot2_sd as boot2.bin works but the others dont.
