    Hacking I think it's dead?

    Man, these installers are all kinds of pure madness. I would've just used Trucha Bug Restorer to make sure 36 had trucha, then used AnyTitle Deleter to uninstall the stub IOS249, then cios_installer (using network installations the whole time), and finally dop-ios on ios70. Problem freakin'...

    Hacking cios 249 rev 17 ret = -1

    THIS. This caught me up a few times, since i have a horrible tendency of forgetting stuff. Use AnyTitle Deleter to remove IOS249, since it's a stub in 4.2. Then cIOS should install with no problems, assuming you followed the Trucha Bug Restorer (or whatever method you used to install a patched...

    Hacking Wii has artifacts,sending in for repair,how do i virginize it?

    As sleazy and fraudulent as this sounds, it works. I had a friend (seriously, not me!) who tried modding a Wii, and failed miserably. Sent it to Nintendo saying it did that after a Software Update, and they repaired it for free.

    Hacking Cannot Install Wad's or Patch IOS's on Wii

    Try to install Bootmii as boot2. From Bootmii, start homebrew channel and follow the instructions for trucha bug restorer TO A TEE. That includes temporarily bringing back a buggy IOS15.

    Hacking Modding for Profit

    Not really (at least in the terms of that message). Doing modding for profit is paying someone to do it for you, and if it gets screwed up, they fix it. That message is for websites that are just selling the software. Think of it as someone giving you $20 to install all the stuff on their Wii...

    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    Either way, someone needs to figure out a way to run the game with a debugger to trace the offending code down. It'd be funny if that was it, but something in me just thinks that it doesn't jive...

    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    They probably use the same executable file or resources for the kiosk or demo versions of the game, and have a file or setting somewhere that triggers demo mode on. Seen this before, nothing new, everyone continue on normally.

    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    Isn't this where the common key should come into play? I mean, just about everyone has this

    ROM Hack 'Hikari No 4 Senshi' MASS file dumper

    Here's a dumper for 'Hikari No 4 Senshi', or as it'll probably be known here, 'The Four Warriors of Light'. Inside the ROM itself are files that have a header named SSAM. Those are what I call MASS files, probably for MASSIVE or the overall MASS or something, they're kinda redundant and seem...

    Hacking SuperDump

    If you dumped the entire 4.38GB part (for Wii SL), just rename it from 0.bin to [whatever file name].iso If you dumped multiple parts, you need to join them first, and in the process you'll name the joined file [whatever file name].iso

    Hacking System Memory Expansion

    No. Expanding the memory via USB or SD is what Jotokun basically referred to as 'swap space'--offloading unused (at the time) memory onto the USB or SD device.. which is kind of bad, because frequent writes to flash memory is what wears down the device. By that same token, you shouldn't really...

    Homebrew Flash Games Emulator

    Honestly, Firefox might be a bit on the slow side. Might want to use something more or less geared towards embedded applications, like Safari/Webkit. After all, that's used on Android, and the iPhone, and in QT, etc, etc.

    Homebrew Flash Games Emulator

    Well, if you want this bad enough, try compiling Gnash to the Wii. I have no idea how well it'd work, or even how well Gnash itself works. It's either that, or try and hook into the Flash software that's in the Opera browser, and that's assuming it's like dynamically linked. If it's...
