Hacking ULTIMATE System Menu 4.0 Guide

fst312 · Apr 1, 2009

question does the firmware update update me to 4.0 sorry if this is an obvious question but after that you say to use preloader also once this is done i want to know if i really need a wad manager channel in my sd card or even the homebrew channel or can i just keep that on my system menu.

also how many people did use this guide or did something like this because like moviecouple there are alot guides out there and CopyCaet says whenever he tries this his system menu gets corrupted someone locate me to a guide that works with no problems should i choose to follow this guide or the other guides moviecouple gave a link to.i don't want to be bricked i just want to get to wii v4.0 without any problems.

the firmware updater gives you system menu 4.0 yes, you dont need WAD manager unless you want disc channel loading

follow the instructions and you will be fine. you dont need disc channel loading but if you do install the CIOS60 it says corrupt but fixed by reinstalling preloader (tested myself)

3) Install CIOS60BF.wad

google "CIOS60HK.zip"

4) Your system menu will now say "System Files Corrupt" but dont worry just hold reset and launch Homebrew Channel and install Preloader AGAIN

If you decide to downgrade back to 3.2

Sorry to ask again but... are you 100% sure about that? how come preloader still works? (if it was what you mean by : just hold reset and launch HBC)

Sounds a bit risky.

Yes i am positive as I just did this myself to make sure it works
nintendolinky also confirmed this earlier in this thread

Disc Channel Loading is purely OPTIONAL and yes there are some risks involved
Just updating to 4.0 is completely SAFE

What's the 'Install CIOS60BF.wad' step? Isn't a custom IOS60 already installed by the patcher in an earlier step?

crosseye · Apr 1, 2009

Just to be completely clear:

1) I don't uninstall softmii and just start at step 1 of your guide

2) after installing preloader the first time, I use the CIOScorp installer from softmii

3) Then I install CIOS60BF.wad (use wad manager, or do I use the CIOScorp installer from softmii?)

4) system menu will corrupt

5) restart with reset held and reinstall preloader

6) come back to thread to thank you

You can't launch in disc channel without it, optional but still, i wanted all features of my 3.2E back

This is correct just as the guide says. I used WAD Manager 1.3 but throwing it in the CIOSCORP installer folder works too

Ok, one final question; have you seen startpatch? I'd like the things it offers:

QUOTE said:
Wii homebrew dev aquilino has released an app called StartPatch that lets Wii owners unlock the Nintendo Wii's services and make them region-free. If you've ever used crediar's Starfall app before, then this is similar. Here's a rundown of StartPatch 4.0's features:

* Region free
* Region free channels
* skip update check
* No health check
* move disc channel

This release, StartPatch 4.0, is only for System Menu 4.0, however, so make sure you don't go and try to use in on other System Menu versions. You also run the risk on bricking your Wii if you turn it off suddenly while you're using the app, so be extra careful about that too.

So would I just use wadmanager to install StartPatch?

Thanks again

The re-install preloader trick to get rid of the corrupt system message works indeed, thanks. Was getting tired of using cIOS downgrader/update again hehe

STill can't run unofficial vc games though, but oh well, dont really use them anyway + can't have everything

Startpatch and Preloader dont get along well, just wait for Hacks.ini to be updated on preloader and it will have these features
Or use a reloader like Menupatcher that you must reload every time you use it (no install)

I wasnt aware of this but Original WiiWare and VC work fine on SD card using this tutorial

3) 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

http://www.yafaze.com/wii/4.0hacktools.rar

This part confuses me. Should we use Waninkoko's firmware updater (http://www.teknoconsolas.tv/wanin/Firmware-Updater_4.0.zip) and then the patcher from the hacktools.rar? Or one or the other? I thought Wanin's installer patched the SM4 files? If not, I stand corrected.

Edit:
Nevermind....I figured it out. My reading comprehension sucks today. I was up far too late last night.

That's all.

Oh, and thanks so much for a concise guide. Much better than a lot of the stuff that's flying around right now.

kikoolol · Apr 1, 2009

Thank you very much assassda, everything is working fine now (reinstalled CIOS60BF -> reset -> HBC -> reinstall preloader, CIOS60BF was the only part i was missing)

Now my 4.0E is like my 3.2E since we got hacks.ini for PAL

Cooler89 · Apr 1, 2009

question how can we remove preloader .29 from 4.0 System menu.. using the 4.0 system menu wad?

moviecouple · Apr 1, 2009

"If you want to load games from the disc channel you must install CIOSCORP"

What disc channel are you talking about. The normal channel that generally shows Wii or GC games loading?

"4) It is highly reccomended that you install preloader to prevent bricks. On the warning screen press A, 2, 1"

Do you mean the Health Warning Screen?

kikoolol · Apr 1, 2009

Bahh now i'm getting error #002 and #001 on disc channel

, i give up, will use usb loader, less trouble.

rockbmi · Apr 1, 2009

well it only seems to load metroid prime 3, every other game gives me ?

Cooler89 · Apr 1, 2009

any idea on how to remove this preloader cant find the system menu 4.0wad

iResilient · Apr 1, 2009

Thanks for this. I was looking for a way to run CIOScorp with the new features and speed of 4.0U. :]

EnigmaXtreme · Apr 1, 2009

So what does this thing do anyway, what improvements to 4.0 does it do?
