"Cry moar"

"YOU cry moar"

ladies and gentlemen, retribution at it's finest. Apparently such an amazing comeback took more than three times as much IQ to process than the first as well.

You need to install HBC to be able to use GeckOS, and that way you will be able to load games from any region originals or DVD backups (cause you have a ModChip installed)....!!

Not really, you can run Brawl, load stacksmash and then load Loadmii, which you can switch out your Brawl disc and put in another region and load Gecko OS. But in reality, yeah your right lol

or install preloader or startpatch to enable region free gaming. but yeah you need homebrew channel...don't worry about downgrading, just follow the 4.2 safe updating guide (if you search you will find it) and follow it

no you cant
there are no region free hacks for 4.2 firmware
why do people keep posting my name in their help threads?
its not like ima come rushing about to help you.
i can care less.
i will not come and replace the logic you could easily use to solve your problem.

nowhere in my guide does it say anything about downgrading from 4.2

good one

Who made homebrew possible on Wii? Team Twiizers.
Who made HBC and BootMii, used by every warez guide? Team Twiizers.
Who is against piracy? Team Twiizers.

The REAL homebrew devs, the ones releasing the exploits making it happen etc. (Team Twiizers, Comex...) are all against piracy.

Homebrew =/= warez. Homebrew is not designed for warez. It is hijacked by people wanting to be made famous who make warez apps, which the true devs could make in a day, and everyone worships them.

I was not joking. Dont laugh.

Back on topic: You say you did buy the games? Then just play the originals. No problems.

I'd be willing to bet cash this guy has more ISO's and .wad's then 50% of the people here.

downgrade = fail

Never downgrade a Wii. It can only end in tears. You can do anything on a 4.2 wii that you can do on a 4.1 or 3.2 wii. FACT.

disc channel seems to be more picky about what it will load, but you don't need to use it.

Japanese Wii & Pal games, which on 4.2 won't load in disc channel. You need something like geckos.

Ok So far...SifJar you've lost my plot.

smf....the problem that Im having is...I cant run the original games. The burnt dvds are runnin fine...

How do I install/run Geckos. Is there a guide where I can read up about it.

have nintendo managed to stop region free modchiips as well? I have a wasabi v3 and was wandering if they have prevented the region free mode of it working? not that I use it but it would be nice to know if it does or doesn't work!

fruitman · Oct 25, 2009

does anyone know what would happen it i went and installed 3.2e wads straight over 4.2e?

illinialex24 · Oct 25, 2009

Chances are you'd brick. If your boot2 is now boot2v4, your done. Seriously.

Stop downgrading, there is never any reason to downgrade atm unless you have a modchip.

If need to downgrade, you fucked it up yourself and you actually dont need to downgrade. (Modchips excluded)

ok mate thanks a lot.

sort of wishing i stayed at 3.2e now just because i know how it works ;( its just region free wii games in disc channel missing really. loader chans will do i suppose

this Xmas should be a good one for Wii homebrew. I almost typed hombre lol

Sameal · Oct 25, 2009

My bad Xzxero for calling out to you personally. I didnt say that You're guide said I can downgrade from 4.2.
Big thank you to the mods for not locking this topic.

illinialex24 · Oct 25, 2009

Yeah, you can downgrade but its not generally recommended (4.1 is actually better if you like imports and themes generally) since it has all the features of previous versions + no real risk of bricking your Wii and more.

To downgrade you need to following assessment:

Are you boot2v4? If you are, you need to make sure you don't get anything before 3.4U in terms of IOS's or system menu.

Then, you need a functioning system menu IOS for the system menu you want and the system menu WAD and install both.

Make sure you do not get the latest version as it is a stub and will unless you have bootmii as a boot2 brick your Wii.

Enjoy, DONT DOWNGRADE.

fruitman · Oct 25, 2009

aye aye captain!

if i wanted to downgrade to 4.1e would i just use the two wads downloaded with NUS? and then recover the rest of my stuff from there if anything is missing / doesn't work? or just use waninkoko's 4.1e 'updater'? much obliged for your time good sir.

*ahh you answered already, two wads it is. God bless.

This is wrong. You cannot run any burnt CDs. Burnt DVDs perhaps, but not CDs. They are not the same thing.

Anyway, my suggestion is BUY your games, they work so much easier, much less hassle. Use homebrew as it was intended, for hobbyist coders to make useful games and apps, not for warez.

I suggest YOU cry more, lame ass.
Maybe you should stop attempting to flame people with three times the IQ of you.
Wait, it would have to be more than three, right? Yep, I thought so.

IQ is based on an Ordinal scale. There is differences in magnitude between points, but that difference isn't directly quantified. You cannot say that a person with an IQ of 200 is twice as smart as somebody with the IQ of 100.

Now even if the OP was retarded, having an IQ at around 80 (100 is an average person's IQ), 80*3=240. An IQ of 240 is ridiculous and unheard of.
Therefore your statement is invalid and completely absurd.

And you might also want to check your grammar before you start making claims about people with low IQs.
Good day.

illinialex24 · Oct 25, 2009

Its based on a normal curve with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10.

So saying someone has 3 times the IQ, lets compare 50 to 150 since its likely the only one that could be moderately possible:

In short, the probability someone is that dumb is:

2.87e-7

The probability someone is as smart as 150 is the same probability, so on an arbitrary scale the guy is a shitload smarter with 3x the IQ.

50 = Mild-Sever mental retardation. I'm quite certain that OP does not have an IQ of 50.

illinialex24 · Oct 25, 2009

I know but saying someone has an IQ over 200 is pretty wrong too... Generally speaking.

no worries, your not the first, i just dont want a trend

but my advice to the OP, the only downgrade that should be done is 4.2 to 4.1

just install v6174 of IOS60
then install the 4.1 system menu.

4.1 is the optimal firmware
It has region free capabitities, the only thing 4.2 doesn't
