You need to download trucha signer. Open the iso in Trucha Signer, select the 2nd partition -> sysfiles -> main.dol -> EXTRACT.

Open main.dol with GWP, remove 001 error -> open trucha signer -> go to main.dol -> replace the main.dol with the main.wip -> burn on DL disk

At least thats what I think

. I am waiting for my DL disks so I haven't tried it out yet. Though when I open the changed ISO again and extract the ALREADY REPLACED main.dol file I still can remove the 001 error with GWP.

thanks man... explained everything... i havent burned it yet... but i think it should work now

edit: okay... so i tried it... and now instead of saying error 001, it just spins forever. the wii doesnt say unable to blah blah, or error blah blah. it just keeps spinning and spinning. i guess imma try to dl the whole entire 7gb of disk again... and restart the process

@kqt728, Jacob
if you just want to remove the 001 error with the generic wii patcher, jacob had the steps but you dont apply the main.wip, you need to hit save then put the main.dol back. of course, sign both partitions regardless of only modifying one partition. you can double check by extracting the main.dol again and search for the 001 error

here are the steps again. i helped myself with jacob's steps and added a few of my own, lol1. extract main.dol in the 2nd partition -> sysfiles

2. use generic wii patcher to open the main.dol

3. hit search, remove 001, and save (not save wiip)

4. replace the main.dol in the 2nd partition with the
main.dol that was just modified with the generic wii
patcher

5. sign both partitionsthe wiip patch file is supposed to make the exact same changes made by the generic wii patcher for the .dol by saving its changes made to .dol for other .dols havent been patched yet. in other words the patching is automated

see the bottom half of bailli's first post in this thread for more info on the wiip patch file. i spent a long while trying to explain the wiip patch file (all it took was 1 sentence lol) as i havent used it myself. even though it wasnt meant to be confusing some of us did get confused, unfortunately ! there's more to the wiip patch file than meets the eye ;P

@siokzz
what kind of patches did you make on your copy of zack and wiki pal ?

Well it looks like GWP doesn't remove it at all. When I remove the 001 error -> save -> close GWP -> open GWP -> open main.dol -> search for 001 error --> FOUND :S

EDIT:

Well it seems to work

. I didnt see the difference between RESTORE and REMOVE. Now when I open main.dol and I try to find the 001 error I can RESTORE the error. That is what you wanna see.

great job noisound

I'm giving up..
hate2.gif

Just wasted 5 dvd+DL. Tried different methods given here.
Wiikey with Wii 3.2U at 1.9g (tried with 1.9S too)
Tried with Imgburn with specified layerbreak (and Nero too.. with 1 to 2.4X burning
Used the Trucha and GWP and did what we have to do.
Used Verbatim+DL's 2.4 x. I own a Nec ND-3540A burner at last firmware.

3 of 5 didn't recognize my DL's
1 of them recognized but there was an error 001.

PS: My wii is semi-bricked due to Family Ski update (I think, i can't change the options). Other games (with multiple DVD like Verbatim, Bulkpaq..) are working great. Just Problem with Brawl..

What can I do else?

I think now it's time to see new GWP version with IOS patcher now with IOS37 things got more difficult with hacking-homebrew scene.... of course the prob is that GWP handles main.dol and not the whole iso..... But also it's a request

Hi bailli, i need a linux version to Generic Patcher, you can do it?

If its not possible to you, you can provide the sources of the application? To me create a java version of it?

i've tried it with VIRTUAL CONSOLE GAMES with the content 0000001.app (wich is a main.dol)


my goal wouldn't (or not only) be change the wad from ntsc to pal

BUT

get EVERY PAL game work 60hz (RBG) instead of 50 with borders.

i tried a lot of combination and messed up a bit

i'm doing manual changes but i don't understand well how the whole thing works

let's say GWP Advanced feature finds 5 video modes (snes), or 6 (snes hanabi(pal60hz) games) or 7 (sega mega drive)

what should i change and how?

i tried ntsc->pal, ALL pal60(not interleed) ALL pal60(480i) ALL pal60(480p) and other but while everyone works in some way noone is perfect like 60hz games like mario picross

i think i sould change with some pattern...

every tip is welcome

Thank you for the update. I will test the error 002 fix with DK Jungle Beat (J) and report back.

By the way, would it be possible to make this program work with ISOs directly? Better than using a different utility to extract and re-inject the dol.
