Once the preloader hacks are set, you normally don't need the hacks.ini anymoreSkyWalker911 said:
thanks - moved all my data to the SDHC card - and it works fine. Made a back up of all channels in the SDHC card too. Things are perfect now.tj_cool said:
Great forum and a great thread. Thanks all!
I fixed the problem: after I had selected IOS60 to load the other ios's in dop ios I kept trying to install the ios 36
Anyways the guide worked perfectly
Is it safe to delete Preloader, Trucha Bug, CIOS rev and DOP IOS from my SD now?

Hi all....
I have a LU64+ WII that I softmodded using the Emperor of Canada's post. It was originally 3.4U and I downgraded it to 3.2U, loaded HBC using the Zelda hack and then loaded Gamma Loader. All worked fine until I tried to load Ghostbusters, which did not work. It gets stuck at the strap screen.
At that point, I started searching for current softmod updates, but they all seem to have bold warnings about LU64+ WII's not being downgradeable.
Am I missing something?
As stated, I have a LU64+ WII and it was downgraded.
I am kinda hesitant to do anything now since I don't know if I just lucked out or if perhaps my LU64+ was prior to some change that Nintendo implemented.
Do I need to heed the warnings or since it worked once, can I perhaps treat it as a non-LU64+ WII?
Can you shed some light on this matter?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Maybe the preloader installation prevents startpatch to be installed (preloader moves the sys menu, so startpatch can't find it)tommitek said:
Starfall (the 3.2 version) had that problem too.
Uninstall preloader (re-install the system menu and run Nandclean
OK, I just tried this one out myself.
NTSC-J Wii sysmenu 3.4j, softmodded and updated to 4.1J successfully using this guide to the letter (exept for substituting the correct sysmenu region for ntsc-j wii).
Installed Preloader 0.29 but since no hacks.ini for NTSC-J systems, removed Preloader by reinstalling System Menu-NUS-v448.wad, and then running Nandclean 0.2
Then tried to install Startpatch4.1_JAP, and it's as tommitek says, Startpatch won't work and returns error -4
So that makes the 2 of us. If anyone can shed a light on a fix, please do.

Hey buddy, i want to know how to install the backup launcher app (NeoGammaR7) as a channel can you help me?
Thanks.
Thanks.
OK, it doesn't look like there would be any help coming with this issue in an english speaking forum with ntsc-j wiis in the minority.
And since Startpatch 4.1_JAP can't install, and noone knows why. I don't feel secure enough having only bootmii as IOS. So I just put Preloader back on my machine.
Yeah it does it's job without the little hacks but that "...can't find hacks.ini..." gets fooking annoying.
So, here's a basic NTSC-J hacks.ini for Preloader 0.29, installed, tested and working on my Wii. It has only 3 options;
- No health check
- Skip disck update check
- Move disck channel
CODE[No health check]
version=448
offset=0x813BBFA0
value=0x48000034
[Skip disc update check]
version=448
offset=0x8137E35C
value=0x60000000
offset=0x8137E360
value=0x60000000
offset=0x8137E364
value=0x60000000
offset=0x8137E368

offset=0x8137E36C

value=0x60000000
[Move Disc Channel]
version=448
offset=0x813AE770
value=0x60000000
I've decided to list it here so if you're on a Jap Wii and want Preloader 0.29 with a basic working hacks.ini, you're in luck. I take no responsiblity if your Wii shites bricks adding this. And if you don't know what to do with the list above, you're better off just leaving your Wii as is.
Now, if you can add more hacks on to the .ini, please do, and please share. I'm gonna post this in a new thread and hope maybe one day we can have a proper Preloader hacks.ini for NTSC-J right next to the U and E versions.
Cheers.
PS: xzxero's guide rocks hard. He ain't kiddin' when he says "Consider yourself lucky because you even found this guide, it cant get any simpler than this."

Heya TJ,
Yeah I know, but I feel safer with some basic stuff like disc updating disabled and such, I got kids clicking whatever they get their grubby hands on.
