Still nothing works... is there even a way for me to upgrade to 3.4U then and undo everything and then I can easily downgrade from there?Sajiko said:Sajiko said:The hacked system menu 3.2 v289 didn't work when I tried loading it through wad manager it gave me error ret -1029ether2802 said:Yes you can..!! just remember to install preloader after this to block the updates and then procced to install CIOScorp package..!!!
Any other possible fixes?
Ok, so I still have this semi-brick error that I cannot access the settings in the Wii so I cannot use Any Region Changer.
Also, the v289 system menu hack .wad files doesn't work
From what I can gather, my friend installed the homebrew channel on firmware 3.3U and may have messed up the region. Is there any fix at all for this or is his Wii dead?

If you get error -1017 somewhere you know it's 3.3v2 and you need to downgrade to be able to use the application that gave you this error. AnyTitleDeleter, WAD Manager and cIOS installers are some programs which require a trucha bugged IOS(which you don't have at 3.3v2 and up).
Wads will still install if you have HBC and a cIOS installed before updating, using WadManager 1.3. There are numerous methods being used right now for unofficially upgrading to 4.0. You should really wait until they have been tested more before you try them. (A few bricks have been reported using Waninkoko's upgrader for example. This may be rumor, I don't know firsthand.)
There are mixed reports about "unofficial" wad's launching successfully from SD. Some people say you can do it if you use the upgrader mentioned above. Others have claimed that IOS60 still needs to be manually patched after the upgrade for SD launching to work.
Be patient and see what developes in the coming weeks.
The NAND is the wii's internal storage. Your channels, firmware/IOSes, and System Menu live there.

I upgraded to 4.0 using waninkoko's firmware upgrader. Everything works fine, besides that my wad manager disc does not work anymore, when insert it on the wii menu it just goes to a black screen that says: "An error has occurred. Press the Eject Button and remove the disc, then turn the Wii console off and refer to the Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting."
There a fix for this?

I have a noobish question. I want to install a couple of nes .wad NTSC files. Will these create new channels? How do I play them? Currently, I am using the emulator thru the homebrew channel and loading roms.
ok as a total newb and as i cant actually find an answer(must have missed it)
i installed softmii and have corrupted the system files on my 3.4u wii my question is this as i can boot to homebrew channel can i install cios to downgrade the corrupted firmware to an uncorrupted one or would i just be better waiting to get an official disk with a newer firmware on it and using savemii
cheers

It's not supposed to work from the disc channel anymore. All updates since 3.3v2 kill trucha signed discs.
PS: Trucha signed discs are EVERYTHING that isn't an original game or a COMPLETELY UNCHANGED 1:1 copy of one.
Question..........
Using homebrew browser dvd what file system do i have to use on the dvd , is it like on the sd card like apps folder / wads / and so on or what?
Also do most homebrew games/apps & emulators work from dvd rather than from sd card?
cheers, paul
@ Digital1980
You need to install wad manager 1.3 , then you need to place your nes games/wads onto a micro sd and put then into a folder called wads.
Then run wad manager and follow the onscreen instructions, easy :-)
Make sure you use ntsc on U only systems and Pal on E system, if its not the right region you can change the game/wad by using a program called " freethewads ".
And yes once the games have been installed they will come up as individual channels , i think most games can be played via the wii controller but some i thin require a gamecube controller in port 1 to work.

Hello,
I've just got myself a Wii. It's a PAL console with System Menu 3.2E and came with a WiiKey updated to 1.9. I haven't had that much time to test it thoroughly yet - I've installed the Homebrew channel via the Twilight hack (the selfboot ISO didn't work for some reason), tried installing a WAD which worked flawlessly. I also put the GeckoOS in there just in case. Now, as far as Wii games are concerned, I've had more problems than I could possibly want to deal with. Retail games work (played Wii Sports a few times, no problems there), however I have multiple issues with backups. For example, I tried Madworld, which only booted via Gecko, but just kept displaying a 'disc could not be read' error even though I used Verbatim DVD's and burned and 4x. Boom Blox doesn't work at all, just says an error has occured and the console should be restarted. Zack & Wiki works without a hitch, even though it's a backup disc. So, I guess I'll summarise my questions:
1. What are IOSes? I installed like 3 or 4 so Madworld would work, do I need others as well for other games?
2. Why does a game run through Gecko (which I understand is used to boot games from outside your region), but not through the disc channel?
3. If I updated to System Menu 4, what would I lose? I would like to keep HBC of course, and I'm thinking it would help with booting newer games.
4. Brickblocking? Someone suggested I should brickblock ISO's before burning to make them work. Why? I haven't seen a 'you need to update your console' message yet.
5. cIOSes, cIOS corporations, Gamma loaders, preloaders...could someone explain these terms, or point me to somewhere I can read up?

Hi guys. I am currently on Softmii 2.1, and I would like to update to 4.0 firmware. What must I do to retain all my softmii functions? I have metroid prime from japan that I would like to play, as well as my downgraded MIOS, and disc channel loading. I took the liberty to download icefireicefire's updater, and cios v8. What else do I need?
Wow, thanks. What combination of homebrew do you recommend? GeckoOS and Gamma are already in there, so I guess I need to install a host of IOSes? Which ones? Do I need to run most games through the HBC or the disc channel?
No problempaul3100 said:
What I recommend? Well its mostly up to you
There's a lot you can do with a softmod
So it depends on what you want (Disc channel backups / gc (disc channel) backups / custom wii themes or health screens / emulators / ...)
Some of them need new IOS, which ones depend on what you choose
read the stickies and some other threads (like miiwii)

Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable

I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
