It could be a bad rip of the game, but I doubt it since u say u've had 2 different games freeze on you, perhaps try a third game and see if it also freezes.

If u installed the cIOSs successfully, then I highly doubt its the cIOSs.

This problem your describing is really typical of a sleep timer or HDD compatability issue. Even though u say the sleep timer is off, I would try using a different hard drive and see if the problems go away. At least then we will be able to narrow down the problem to the external hard drive.

@elmoreas,
thx for the kind words, if u ever need any more help with anything, u know where to find me

Man, I'm so sorry I ever updated my Wii to 4.3... Now that I finally decided to softmod it, I discover I need a game I don't have...

But ok, I can use either Idiana Jones or Super Smash Brothers Brawl? (my Wii is virgin with 4.3E)

don't know why but this Ios (58) is getting me for mad!!!!! now i have a lot of those STACK DUMPS, CODE DUMPS whatever they call them everytime i try to open/exit a single app (like wiimc, vba or example), does anybody knows what i'm doing wrong? please help me! curiously when i delete this ios 58 and reinstall the homebrew channel everything is fine here and there!
this sounds like the typical HBC bug that has been plaguing us all. The latest versions of all those apps started using IOS58 and ahbprot/no_ios_reload instead of cIOS202 quite recently... unfortunately, if u do not have an internet connection set up, when the HBC loads up the apps with "no_ios_reload" (in the meta.xml) it will typically fail.

A new homebrew channel is expected sometime in the future to correct this issue

in the meantime, there are 2 workarounds

1) try waiting 30-60 seconds in the HBC before launching a no_ios_reload app and it will have a much greater chance of success

2) use the older versions of the the apps that still use cIOS202v5[57]... like vba and all the emulators, WiiMC, etc.... this is what I've personally decided to do, at least until a new HBC is released

look what i did, just uninstalled the IOS58 and left the HBC 1.0.8 working under IOS61 and now everything is fine! just two questions, is this a right decision? will i need IOS58 further? ah, and thanks for all your support

as the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But u should be aware that the majority of apps are being updated to use IOS58 instead of cIOS202. So the latest versions of apps like WiiMC, vbagx, fceugx, etc. may not work properly for u. Eventually when u install a new HBC using IOS58 these problems should go away. But in the meantime if u experience errors, I would revert back to the older versions of those apps that still use cIOS202.

Gday Again XFlak,

Just a short note to thank you profusely for all your help. My Wii is now successfully soft modded and my kids are now very happily playing their NTSC games on our PAL Wii all thanks to your kind guidance. Per your advice I installed Neogamma on the SD and it works great. When I load up an NTSC disk I get a momentary green screen and then it boots up fine. Loving it, you are a bloody legend.

Thanks again for all your help, its much appreciated.

loving your program. i enjoyed doing it all myself (doing the research, getting tools and installers from wiibrew, etc.), but ever since i started using sneek, your program has been amazing.

when i updated to uneek+di, modmii made my life a LOT easier. i'm definitely converted to using this exclusively for wii hacking.

i also have a question. i'm looking to update my uneek+di install, and i'm wondering if i have to wait for the auto installer to to be updated with pre-compiled files, or do you keep a repository yourself?

like, if i ran modmii right now and told it to build uneek+di for me, will it download r125 (the current one pre-compiled at crediar's page) or r127 (the latest build)? i'm currently on r121, so either case upgrades me, i'm just wondering what it is exactly that modmii downloads.

yes, it uses crediars precompiled files. When u use ModMii to build any version of SNEEK it will tell u what version was built, and it will even save a rev.txt file in your SNEEK folder indicating what rev u have built (making it easier to keep track of what rev u are currently using

)

@xzxero... ur prolly right about jinxing myself, I've already made some minor changes to ModMii, but they're so small that I'll probably still try to wait for a new HBC until updating ModMii anyways...

@all, thx for the success reports! I love hearing them!

can u tell me how much free space ModMii is telling u that u need to continue? Can you also tell me exactly how much free space you have on the drive.

I suspect its a batch file issue where it thinks 8000 is greater than 70000 (for example)... stupid windows cmd line!! It is able to compare numbers properly if they have the same number of digits, so I will have to add a check to first compare the number of digits before checking anything else.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will investigate further in my free time.
