Hi, I installed modmii after i was advised to run pimp my wii and it went tits up. 99% of it works good, the only issue i had is when i try and install wad files. it comes up with the error file 1029 in wad manager via HBC (the program is on the SD card), now i have read a lot of comments from other forums asking to delete a certain cios. it concerns me that if i do this im going to be back at square 1.


Now i know this is the place to ask and i get the right response, so.... what steps do i have to take and programs do i have to use to sort this issue out and let me install wad files ok on the wii.

any advice on this i would be greatful and i know there are others with this same issue so im sure they would be aswell!

BTW my wii is 3.2E if thats any help


Thanks in advance

If you're trying to use cIOS249 r19/20 to install the wads, it wont work (it'll throw the 1029 error) unless 249's base is IOS38.

ok so your suggesting i use wad manager 1.7b to overcome this issue? im not sure what cIOS im using, i just went through the standard modmii install


Update: seems to work, it extracted without error, it does ask which cIOS to use during install and NAND, i selected default... and it unzipped ok, although the WAD doesnt work its progress. thanks for the advice its put my mind at rest not having to remove any files or brick my wii lol

If you want to keep using Wad Manager 1.5, install the cIOS using base 38.
If you want to use another base IOS (56,57, etc..), you NEED Wad Manager 1.7.
Hope it's clearer.

    @SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    @SylverReZ, i think they have been doing that since late 2000s

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
