Hacking SNEEK+DI quick guide

W hat · Aug 13, 2010

I knew that much - the U[SB] vs. D. I was wondering if there was any other differences.

How can I run SNEEK+DI? I followed the first post. I used Sneek installer and "
How To Achieve a NAND for use with SNEEK", but with mrplowdan's suggestions on better wads to use. Now what? Looks like I should compile SNEEK, then put the files I need on SD*. I also need a FST dump of a game at USB:\games\xxxx01\. Then do I boot my Wii with the SD card + USB drive inside?

*Or do I? My guess is I'm going to need to compile Sneek...

Are you using the sneekinstaller or compiling from svn???

Sorry for all of the questions, I really appreciate the help. [Well, I sure hope JCPenney's accepts really appreciate it's.]

For the DI's you really need to a /games/(game_id) folder?

The only reason I'm doing this is to get the "cheater" menu.

I thought I needed usb:/games/xxxx01/

If I don't, please explain how. I have real discs and a WBFS drive.

To get the cheater menu you will have to alter the smenu.c in the es module where pune showed you and compile your own SNEEK+DI OR UNEEK+DI, but to do that you need to do this,

====================================
Acquiring the IOS80-v6943 0000000e.app and IOS60-v6174 00000001.app files using NUS Downloader and the key.bin file
use MakeKeyBin to generate a key.bin and place it in the same directory as NUS Downloader.

make sure in NUS you have the Decrypt box checked (if it does not give you a decrypt box you do not have a proper key.bin or the key.bin is not in the proper directory with NUSD)
go to the Database box to find the specific IOS you need.
<img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p169/ChokeDYou/ios80.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p169/ChokeDYou/ios60-1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

place the 0000000e.app and 00000001.app files located here,
in the c:\sneek folder before attempting to compile SNEEK.
===================================
This is Not a requirement
However, if you would like to compile your own armboot.bin, follow these directions:
Go to your Control Panel
click System
click Advanced system settings
click Environment Variables
scroll down to Path
highlight Path and click Edit
being careful not to delete anything
enter in the list after any ; (my install directory happens to be)
c:\Python26;
example:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>c:\devkitPro\msys\bin;c:\Python26;C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\</div>
the armboot.bin can now be found in the \sneek\mini-tree-mod folder
after compiling sneek
if you choose not to do this you can proceed below
<img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p169/ChokeDYou/EnvironmentVariables.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
grab the armboot.bin from here if you chose not to do the above:
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/sneek/" target="_blank">armboot.bin</a>
place it in your x:/bootmii folder
===================================
Finding a command prompt
go to your start button and click run and type cmd and hit enter
this will bring up a command prompt
it should read c:\user\nameofurcpu>
===================================
If it has a different letter there, just type in c: and hit enter
===================================
type this in the command prompt:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>cd c:\</div>
then hit enter
your command prompt should read:
c:\>
===================================
Downloading SNEEK source
type in the command prompt or copy and paste this in the window:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>svn checkout http://sneek.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ sneek</div>
hit enter
You will now have a copy of SNEEK2 source located at c:/sneek
===================================
Compiling SNEEK
now type in the command prompt:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>cd sneek</div>
hit enter,
your command prompt should now read
c:\sneek>
Now type in the command prompt
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>build_boot2.cmd</div>
hit enter,
wait patiently and if all goes well you should have your SNEEK2 files in the c:\sneek folder
===================================
Files created in the c:\sneek folder
boot2_di.bin = sdcard as nand (with DI module)(NO DVD DRIVE SUPPORT) SNEEK+DI
boot2_sd.bin = sdcard as nand (no DI)(DVD DRIVE SUPPORT) SNEEK
boot2_usb.bin = USB as nand (no DI) UNEEK
boot2_usb.bin = USB as nand (with DI module) UNEEK+DI
di.bin = (usb module)

and this

How To Achieve a NAND for use with SNEEK

UPDATED: For now this is the simplest way I know how people can build a 4.2 NAND for SNEEK.
How to get a virgin NAND using NUSAD and showmiiwads:
1. Download "<a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/NusAuto" target="_blank">NUSAD</a>" and <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?izx6xhag96frhji" target="_blank">NUSAD_Download_Cues_for_Sneek</a>.
2. Place your region cue in the NUSAD program folder.
3. Open NUSAD and type "I Agree" and hit enter.
4. Type "L" and hit enter.
5. Type "Y" hit enter.
6. All the IOS .wads you need will be found in the /COPY_TO_SD/WAD folder.
7. Open <a href="http://code.google.com/p/showmiiwads/" target="_blank">ShowMiiWads</a>
8. Create a blank folder on desktop (I named mine "Scratch 4.2U NAND")
9. Click on Options -> Change NAND backup path. Select the folder you just created.
10. Click View -> ShowMiiNAND (the program is now called "ShowMiiNand")
11. Drag all .wad files from COPY_TO_SD/WAD to ShowMiiNand.
12. At the bottom click install
13. copy your setting.txt from an actual dump to the title/00000001/00000002/data folder that was created in your "Scratch 4.2U NAND"
14. copy the four folders: title, ticket, sys, shared1 to the root of whatever device you are going to be using to host your NAND.
15. Launch SNEEK/UNEEK and it will be as if it is the first time you started your wii (in reality it is, and you may have to wait a couple minutes the first time you boot it up this time only)

Wii Game File and Folder Structure & Identifying required IOS.

Wii Game File and Folder Structure

1.) Download <a href="http://code.google.com/p/sneek/downloads/list" target="_blank">DiscEX-v0.5-cred.rar</a> or the latest DiscEX by crediar and extract to c:/DiscEX

2.) Find a command prompt (Start --> Run --> Type: cmd and press enter.

3.) Change the directory to where DiscEX is located. (For me it is on the root of my "C" drive) Therefore, I would type this:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>cd c:\</div>

4.) Then type this to change the directory to DiscEx,

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>cd DiscEX</div>

5.) Make sure you have a game, example: ssbb.iso in the same folder as /DiscEX and type,

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>DiscEx ssbb.iso</div>

6.) Hit enter and wait.

7.) When complete copy the folder to where your games will be and place it in the /games folder.

On a FAT32, 32KB clusters, Primary, Active USB:

usb:/games/CODMW2/files/ (a lot of files....)
usb:/games/CODMW2/sys/main.dol
usb:/games/CODMW2/sys/apploader.img
usb:/games/CODMW2/sys/fst.bin
usb:/games/CODMW2/sys/boot.bin
usb:/games/CODMW2/sys/bi2.bin
usb:/games/CODMW2/ticket.bin
usb:/games/CODMW2/cert.bin
usb:/games/CODMW2/tmd.bin
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Identifying required IOS for sneek per Wii game.iso

1.) Open tmd.bin in a hex editor

2.) Look at offset 0x018B.

3.)Convert the value from hexadecimal to decimal to obtain the IOS number.

You can verify in sneek nand, by looking at the same folder name 00000001/000000xx/

GC Game File and Folder Structure
Use <a href="http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php?title=GC-Tool" target="_blank">GC-Tool</a> to extract GC games.
"AppLoader.ldr" -> apploader.img
"Game.toc" -> fst.bin
"ISO.hdr" -> this file seems to be boot.bin with bi2.bin you have to devide it. first 0x440 bytes boot.bin, then the next 0x2000 bytes for the bi2.bin
"Start.dol" -> main.dol

Hope that helps

Sup ChokeD, I just released the new NUSAD! You can update your SNEEK guides whenever you like! No more need to use the sneek download queues!

ChokeD · Aug 13, 2010

Nice, I'll get right on that. People are going to be AMAZED. Nice work as always XFlak.

EDIT: As 1 of the beta testers for NUSAD I can tell you people you better get this new release and explore all your options. RIGHT NOW !!!!

Thanks for the reply wiimm, I might use that. I've been watching your tools progress along with Qt and I've used wit a few times but I got to admit I'm not so much a command line kind of guy. I really wish someone would make a fully featured GUI for your tools. I can't express how useful that would be to others and myself as I know I have stuff backed up as wbfs and iso and SNEEK format whatever people are calling that kind of file/folder structure. So I have a lot of different applications I could use a GUI for. I'm not lazy, I just have so much going on with real life AND cyber life I can't for the lifes of me remember any more commands.

Many props to ya though, you do good work and thanks for stopping by with info.

7. Choose what region of NAND you would like to have "U" "E" "J" or "K" and click enter.

8. Choose which System Menu you would like to have "4.2" or "4.3" and click enter.

9. Type D and click enter (unless you would like to use your own setting.txt in which case either choice will work)

10. Choose whether to download Wii channels

10a. If you choose "Y" it will give you the option of which to download
10b. If you choose "N" none will be downloaded

11. After typing "N" in step "10" or after choosing which channels to download in step "10" type "Y" and hit enter.

12. When ShowMiiWads pops up, type "45e" and click "ok"

13. After NUSAD is done your brand new nand is built and in the NUSAD folder on your desktop.

14. Copy the four folders: title, ticket, sys, shared1 to the root of whatever device you are going to be using to host your NAND.

15. When you launch SNEEK/UNEEK it will be as if it is the first time you started your wii (you will have to wait a couple minutes the first time you boot it up this time only)

NOTE: You will be presented with a black screen for approximately 3-5 minutes upon first boot only.

Much better looking with the spaces between section's number

Good work

About the GUI for Wit/wwt, there's already one (WiiJManager, Multi platform written in Java), but it's only for managing/transfering isos. It can even extract to Sneek format !
Maybe the developer could add more options later

Thanks for the comments about the guide, I've since got a few more done also.

Wii Game File and Folder Structure & Identifying required IOS.

Required:
* The Latest DiscEX by crediar
* Wii game in ISO format

Links:
Latest DiscEX by crediar: http://code.google.com/p/sneek/downloads/list

Guide:

1. Download DiscEX-v0.5-cred.rar or the latest DiscEX by crediar and extract to c:/DiscEX

2. Find a command prompt (Start --> Run --> Type: cmd and press enter.

3. Change the directory to where DiscEX is located. (For me it is on the root of my "C" drive) Therefore, I would type this:

cd c:\

4. Then type this to change the directory to DiscEx,

cd DiscEX

5. Make sure you have a game, example: ssbb.iso in the same folder as /DiscEX and type,

DiscEx ssbb.iso

6. Hit enter and wait.

7. When complete copy the folder to where your games will be and place it in the /games folder.

example: On a FAT32, 32KB clusters, Primary, Active SD/USB.

usb:/games/SSBB12/files/ (a lot of files....)
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/main.dol
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/apploader.img
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/fst.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/boot.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/sys/bi2.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/ticket.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/cert.bin
usb:/games/SSBB12/tmd.bin
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Identifying required IOS for sneek per Wii game.iso

1. Open tmd.bin in a hex editor

2. Look at offset 0x018B.

3. Convert the value from hexadecimal to decimal to obtain the IOS number.

You can verify in sneek nand, by looking at the same folder name 00000001/000000xx/

How to install HBC to SNEEK NAND

Required:
* WadCreator v1.1: http://www.mediafire.com/?n5yzmqjmwzd
* ShowMiiWads: http://code.google.com/p/showmiiwads/downloads/list

Guide:

1. Install HBC on your real nand 3.2x-4.3x

2. Use WadCreator v1.1 to extract HBC.wad from you Wii.

3. dump real nand using bootmii

4. Open showmiiwads, go to "tools/extract Bootmii nand" and select your nand.bin

5. Go back to your VIRGIN Sneek nand, by selecting your sneek drive letter in "Options/Change NAND backup path"

6. Go to "View/ShowmiiNand"

7. Drag and Drop HBC.wad then at the bottom click "Install", and once installed close ShowmiiWads.

8. Then manually copy and replace your original Bootmii NAND/ticket/00010001/af1bf516.tik to Sneek NAND/ticket/00010001/af1bf516.tik

9. Your done. Test it on your Wii.

About Wiijmanager, it is outdated and zon7 (I believe is his name) has not updated it in a long time. There has been a lot of revisions to WIT since then. I'm following qt, the other gui for WIT, as giantpune is still building on it and makes commits to the source frequently.

Having trouble compiling SNEEK. What exactly do I do with NUSD?

"Acquiring the IOS80-v6943 0000000e.app and IOS60-v6174 00000001.app files using NUS Downloader and the key.bin file"

I don't know how to get these from NUSD (I have key.bin already).

longtom1 · Aug 13, 2010

You can use the .app files downloaded by the sneekinstaller if your having trouble with NUSD

Did you read the guide ??

It's the first 3 steps and the first 7-8 pictures of the guide, man if you can't figure that out on your own you are really going to have a hard time getting the cheater menu going.

Use NUSD to download the IOS files (IOS80v6943 and IOS60v6174). Make sure you select the option to decrypt them when downloading - this will result in the .app files being placed in the download folders.

I didn't know how to get .app files out of NUSD, having just used it to get .wad files. The guide's numbering sucks.

1. Acquire the IOS80-v6943 0000000e.app and IOS60-v6174 00000001.app files using NUS Downloader and the key.bin file
1a. Use MakeKeyBin to generate a key.bin and place it in the same directory as NUS Downloader.
1b. Place the key.bin in the same directory as NUSD
2. Open NUSD
2a. Make sure in NUSD you have the Decrypt box checked, (if it does not give you a decrypt box you do not have a proper key.bin or the key.bin is not in the
proper directory with NUSD)
2b. Go to the Database box to find the specific IOS you need as stated above or as in the pics below.
2c. Click "Start NUS Download"

Every one of those steps seems to be related to "Acquire the IOS80-v6943 0000000e.app and IOS60-v6174 00000001.app files using NUS Downloader and the key.bin file" and should be 1a-1f. A note about "decrypt" making .app files would be helpful as well.

Just used this guide to set up UNEEK. I used SNEEK before, but UNEEK works much better for me.

One question that I have, which I don't see mentioned on the first post, is if it is possible to dump the Wii disc to USB using the Wii, and/or UNEEK/SNEEK, and if so, how? I do not have a DVD drive for my computer, so I doubt that I can dump them with that. Is it possible to use some other USB loader to dump Wii discs to my USB drive, and if so, could someone point me to some directions on this? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am not too familiar with the various USB loaders for the Wii. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Also, my USB drive was formatted from NTFS to FAT32. Will FAT32 be a suitable filesystem for storing Wii games?
