    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    EDIT: whoops, wrong suggestion by you. Yes, I did see that. I always keep extensions UNhidden. So unfortunately that wasn't it. edit: I am using regular sd (1gb)

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Good news! I managed to successful use the twilight hack and now have HBC. I'm going through the steps by xzxero again and I've run into a problem. He writes: "4] Run Wad Manager [this step can be skipped if already on 4.1] When it opens choose use IOS249. (it is probably already set to that)...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Awesome. I can pick that up at the local Walmart pretty easily. If you can help, I have a few questions: I know the Twilght hack will allow me to install things like the HBC and bootmii; I think I get the general gist of it. However, is there a simple and cohesive guide to using the twilight...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Sounds like it's worth a try. Since I'm using an NTSC-J wii, would I have to get an NTSC-J Twilight Princess? That would be unfortunately because that would actually take awhile (plus would probably cost a bit in shipping).

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Looks like all the other bannerbomb versions didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should proceed from here? Recap of what's happened: my wii (ntsc-J v3.2) doesn't seem to recognize the boot.elf in the sd card. I've tried multiple little fixes related to the sd card. It's all been...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Got it. Just to make sure I'm not going anything silly: I'll follow your guide like normal, except using these different versions of the 'private' file (and it's subdirectories)?

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Seems like it works. Admittedly, because I was pressing buttons randomly, I deleted the first the first saved game attempt (no worries, though: scrub game anyway). But yes, the transfer worked fine. Would you still recommend me trying a different SD card?

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    That would suck. Is there any sd card you'd recommend? (preferably one I could buy tomorrow and not have to buy online and wait?) Also, is there a way I would test that incompatibility? Because it seems like I can put things like saved games on there (though I haven't actually done it yet).

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    I'm actually using the precomplied .zip you graciously linked to in your guide. So I'm actually not sure of version. Should I try to version 1 specifically? Extra info: when I insert the SD card, the bottom right hand of the screen pops up some japanese characters (which I of course don't...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    I don't believe so (at least it doesn't have SDHC on the card like most sdhc cards I've seen do). Not 100% certain, but I don't think SDHC cards are ever made as small as 1gb either. Please let me know any other information I can provide! Btw, I am trying the 4.1 offline way with using v448...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Hey guys. I'm trying to install the homebrew and have been following xzxero's amazing guide to the letter. But when I go to the SD card portion of my data management, there is no option to install/run the boot. I have tried putting the SD card in before and after starting the wii. Specs: I...

    Hacking GH: World Tour black screen with NTSC-J (jap wii)

    Hey guys, I've tried some searching around with little luck, but please point me into the right direction if I missed something. I'm trying to get the redempted World Tour backup (NTSC-U) to work on my NTSC-J Wii (currently firmware 3.2J). I WBB it, and I can always see the game appear fine in...

    Hacking WBB 'not valid iso' error?

    I'm trying to use wbb on SSBB (NTSC-U version) but am getting the error that " isn't a valid Wii ISO file". There doesn't seem to be much info out there on this. This is my first time seeing it. WBB has been able to work fine on files after this and I even tried to download a new copy of wbb...

    Hacking Will unbricking JPN with WiiFit cause dupe channel

    That's basically my question. I have a semi-bricked (strikers) Jap Wii and I want to know if I unbrick it using Wii Fit if I will get the duplicate channels that you get if you had unbricked it with Super Mario Galaxy. Cheers.

    Hacking The risks of uninformed chip updating?

    Hello everyone. I have a jap wii that was bought pre-chipped. Other than semi-bricking it on strikers charged, I've had no serious issues with the thing. Recently, there have been reports that with an updated wiikey, SMG (jap) can unbrick jap wiis. Unfortunately, because I don't know what...

    Hacking JAP Wii users guide v2

    The compatibility wiki for Fire Emblem states With WBB,no request of upgrade but lockup while loading;without WBB there'll be duplicate channels,you can run the game,at least. Does that mean that the only way I can play this game is to accept duplicate channels. Has no one been able to get it...

    Hacking Jap Wii owner with questions

    Thanks both of you, that's really helpful. If I don't want the dupe channels I have to do the metroid trick, but if I want to unbrick my wii I need to let the update run through completely. Am I right that this is this basically what it boils down to?

    Hacking Jap Wii owner with questions

    Hey everyone, I'm new here and I've been searching for some answers all night. Firstly, I have a japanese wii given to me as a gift. It was bought in china and it was already modded so I have no idea how or what chip was used (which annoys me to no end). An unfortunate incident involving a...
