In the MMM section I think you should add [In the main menu "of the mod manager"] to get rid of any possible confusion. I was trying to press right in the HBC main menu then tried to find the .wad and finally figured it out.
There shouldn't be any confusion if you read it in order.:

QUOTERun 1. Multi-Mod Manager 13.4
When on the main menu, press right to go to WAD manager.

It would be redundant to put "of the Multi-Mod Manager".

Hi just put homebrew channel on a 4.3 black wii. Went to load up IOS236 Installer v3.

It started then errored, so I restarted and put wireless details in. So I waited till it stopped flashing, now everytime I try to load IOS236 Installer v3 it says DSI error then alot of codes. What am I doin wrong?
hi stevoal,make sure you have IOS 36 wad file in the root of your sd card,also when you load homebrew channel make sure the wireless adaptor icon in the low right corner of the screen stops flashing,

I assume you may not have a valid working wifi connection(although you say you have configured it)
the easiest way to make sure you have established a connection is to press home button in the homebrew channel if the connection is working then you should see your wii's ip adress in the upper left corner of the screen,give it 20 seconds and you should see it(if u have a valid internet connection of course)

when your ip adress shows up and you made sure that you have IOS36 wad file in the root of the sd card go on with the IOS236 installer again,and select wad installation

I hope this helps

Pm me if you still cant solve it I will be happy to help

guys as you know the new call of duty black ops game requires us to use IOS224 v 5.1 installer and also ciosxrev 20b as base 57 installed,so I would like to compile my own ready-to-install wad files

cIOS249[56]-v20.wad(we are using this in the guide as I suppose it is rev20 as base 56)
I would like to have sth like
cIOS249[57]-v20.wad

how can I do that,also can I compile a wad file for IOS 224 to be installed as base 57?

The reason I want this is that I would like to do everything really quick

I would really appreciate if you guys help me out with compiling ready to install wad files

Please help me, I downloaded a patched Fatal Frame 4 iso, burned it using IMGburn at 2x speed with an HP DVD-R and loaded it using Neogamma, but all I get is a black screen, it does not start up. My other games, Trauma Center and the Japanese unpatched Fatal Frame 4 (both are backups as well) works perfectly since I already softmodded my 4.2u Wii, this is the only one that is having that black screen problem.

I've been trying to get this game to work for almost 3 weeks now. I've tried almost everything; softmod tutorials in various sites, installed channels and WADs using homebrew, but still nothing. I really want to play this game.

I followed this guide here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=171901 and included the Neogamma and USB Loader. Is there some way I can play this game through backup discs?

Thanks again for this great guide I have been using it for ever. I was wondering if somebody can help me.
I previous guides there was dvd movie support but in the new guide there is no install of the dvd player files. I did some research and read 4.3 breaks the dvd support but how can I use this guide to modify 4.2 system and still be able to play dvd movies.

there is no legal way to share any wads with people directly

You can use ModMii to build cIOS249[56]-v20.wad and many other cIOSs. I may need to support more cIOSs (like cIOS249[57]-v20.wad) depending on what the preferred method of loading black ops is when the dust settles.

If u want to pack wads of your own cIOSs, just install them using the cIOS Installers, then dump them using bluedump v3 (non-fakesigning version, since the cIOSs are already fakesigned). Or u can use wad creator, or u can dump your nand then use showmiiwads to decrypt your nand then pack any IOSs that u have on the dump into wads.

I'm sure these files are being illegally share on the internet somewhere, but if you build your own cIOS wads, I encourage you to keep the files to yourself, as sharing them directly is illegal.

FYI, there is no difference in the end result from dop ios mod vs MMM vs ios 236 installer. If the game works in config, and not usb loader gx, it is a problem with your settings in usb loader gx, or a problem with the loader itself, and the guide is not to blame.

Whenever I run IOS236 installer I get some error after clicking 1 its the exception (DSI) occurred! error and with all those letters/numbers below, how do you fix that?

You can try waiting 30 seconds in the hbc before launching it to increase the odds of it working. But if you keep trying, it WILL work.

You could download the cios.zip file pack also...

maybe u missed the part about getting the files legally... and the file packs associated with this guide are definitely illegal... honestly, the only reason why I haven't made a big deal about it thus far is because I respect xzxero and I don't want to cause problems for him or his guide. But I'm honestly surprised gbatemp ever allowed this guide to be posted in the first place... meanwhile they ban helpful folks like deadlyfoez... gbatemp rocks, but they got it ass backwards on those decisions!

@xzxero/Erik, I would be more than happy to set up multiple download queues for ModMii that you can share instead of your shady file packs! The users would still be following your guide (I'm not trying to steal your fan base!), but instead of emailing u for links then illegally downloading the files from megaupload, users could download ModMii, run it, and load a "4.2 upgrade download queue" or a "modify download queue" and download the files legally that way then continue to follow your guide. Anyways, assuming u don't share files unsupported by ModMii, I could build these queues for u in minutes (and if there are files u want to share that are not supported by ModMii, I can add them just for this purpose). Anyways, if u want to legalize your guide, pm me and we can work something out

@Whoisyerdaddy, your very welcome!

I was actually giving him another way to get the wad if he wanted. It was more of a reply to him, not a reply to you. ModMii, and all the work you have done is enormous, but sometimes people like taking the easy (arguable) way out.

If I follow this guide from start to finish, would my wad manager work again (stopped working after disc update)?

How is it not working now?

QUOTE(flame6753 @ Nov 13 2010, 05:41 PM) This guide has worked perfectly but ever since I updated I have been unable to connect to my network. Is there a fix for this? I'm on 4.2u now.

Following this will not make your connection any different.

QUOTE(LxTrix @ Nov 13 2010, 09:46 PM)
how does the IOS236 Installer v3 differ from using the MMM option to restore trucha?

ios236 installer uses ahbprot to directly access the wii hardware and make changes to needed files... MMM used the downgrade ios15, patch 36 method, which can't be used on wii's with the latest update.

(btw, if any of that is mis-wrote, I apologize, it is bedtime after a long night of work)

hi there, with the latest neogamma, we are able to play GC games apperantely, but obviously we need to install cmios, I have rvl-mios-v4.wad and I am going to install it using cMIOSWiiGator but when I try to install it, it asks for what IOS I should use, the default is 36, should I go on with that or choose another one? just asking so I won´t brick my wii. (it says ISO 58, rev 6175 on the side), or press B without IOS reload.
