    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    Did you change just the one value of 94 21 ff d0 or did you search and replace all? If all then you need to redo the patch to only do the one change at 1ab750.

    Well if true then a search for: 94 21 FF D0 7C 08 02 A6 90 01 00 34 39 61 00 30 48 12 D9 39 7C 7B 1B 78 And a subsequent change to: 4E 80 00 20 7C 08 02 A6 90 01 00 34 39 61 00 30 48 12 D9 39 7C 7B 1B 78 For the main.dol should make it work. Worth searching the main DOL to see if the string...

    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    You don't need to save (although you have the DIFF button selected on the top tag instead of ISO). When you replace a file with Wiiscrubber it automatically resigns the disc. After replacing it you just burn the ISO.

    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    There's a subroutine for checking certain values in the 0x8000000 region and a bit of other jiggery pokery. The byte changes at 0x1ab750 amount to changing the first instruction of the subroutine to a return instead of the real "stwu sp, -30(sp)" What concerns me is the instructions in the...

    Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    It's amusing in a way that the modified disc will work on softmods but not on hardmods unless people have a 'trucha' enabled IOS 60/61 (You'll get a 'bad disc' error as replacing the file causes the disc to become fake signed). For the black screen people - I take it they know that it's a PAL...

    Hacking Inside WBFS

    The problems with resizing come down to the field labeled "WBFS_SECTOR_SIZE" up above (and it's companions) When a partition is initialised it effectively splits the storage space down into 64k chunks - these chunks are where the data is stored in the WBFS partition and represent a cluster of...

    Hacking Inside WBFS

    If you have a disc with 4 or more partitions then the Wii will refuse to read it anyways - it's a problem I encountered when I did the multidisc. However...... The standard code included in the libwfs does not handle the second partition table (or third and fourth) - this means the VC games on...

    Hacking WDF = Wii Disc File

    It doesn't actually - it's quite a horrible format when you start looking into it. (e.g. Due to the 16 bit limitation on number of clusters, for a 1 terrabyte disc you end up having 'clusters' that are 14 Meg in size - this means files are then rounded upto that nearest size). BTW the Wii...

    Hacking WDF = Wii Disc File

    No - though it's had 'shrink' capability built in since about February (try using a resource file editor and enabling the hidden buttons on the 1.40 release but I refined the format a bit after the release (which was one of the reasons I didn't activate the buttons)) Split files are an issue...

    Does it now show more free space?

    Hardware Recover Games from formatted WBFS drive

    It sounds like you've set too many of the 0's to 1 and it's processing the last entry/entries incorrectly. How many of them did you change?

    Hardware Recover Games from formatted WBFS drive

    What you need to do (theoretically) is: 1. Get a hex editor that can handle hard drive partitions. e.g. HxD http://mh-nexus.de/en/ 2. Search for "WBFS" - this will probably be at sector 63 or 64 3. Change the 0x00's from byte 12 onwards to 0x01 for however many games you have on the disc. 4...

    Hardware Recover Games from formatted WBFS drive

    Yes you can but it's a bit of a nause - I'll try and get some instructions worked out in the near future. What it comes down to is you need to modify the WBFS partition sector to show there is data in it. This is done by setting the correct fields in the usage table to 0x01 and the disc count...

    Hacking 1 TB Support?

    The limitation would seem to be down to the way in which WBFS stores the header table. This means there is a limit to the number of files that can be stored on it rather than a space limitation. On a standard 512 byte sector disc this seems to be about 500 titles IIRC (number of bytes in sector...

    Hacking Wii Menu 4.2 Released

    I just find it funny it was rolled out on Yom Kippur - the Jewish day of atonement. From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur : Wonder if someone at Nintendo has a sense of humour.

    Gaming Recommended HDD cloning program?

    I'd get hold of a copy of hirens boot cd and use either acronis or the ever popular Norton Ghost. Ghost will allow you to backup hard drive to multiple DVD's if need be. You then use the software to restore the entire image to another drive, repartitioning if need be.

    Homebrew Wiiscrubber 1.40 kit with multiboot

    The software defaults to read/write access when you load a disc - which is what the button displays. If the file is marked as read only then the open fails and the software gets in a bit of a kerfuffle. It's the same error as opening an ISO image from a DVD drive. More importantly, I want to...

    Homebrew Wiiscrubber 1.40 kit with multiboot

    The problem comes down to the trimmed file is flagged as read only. This causes a problem when reopened as wiiscrubber tries to do read/write access. Solution is to right click on the trimmed iso first and remove the read only flag. Yes it is sort of still being developed but RL has got in the...

    Hacking WiiScrubber 1.4 Multiboot

    Yep Scrub works out the usage table of the disc and then overwrites the unused areas with ffs, making the resulting ISO image compressible. This compressible area is scattered through the disc. Trim works out where the data is in the disc and then moves it up to the start of the partition. It...
