3.1-3.4 Twilight/Downgrade/Gamma Tutorial

Nice one. Seems noob-proof to me.

I'll put this thread in my sig.
Also, I vote for Stickie !!

 

Great i will try it as soon as i get home. So in other words if i understood correctly i will get back to 3.2E from 3.4E. What about the new games that demand system updates (Castlevania e.g) will i have any problem? I thought that the point was to play vc and wiiware on 3.4E not in 3.2E. Anyway this seems impossible for the time being but thank you veryyyyyyyyy much for your help. I will report back for feedback. Is it possible to play all current games with 3.2E ? I have to mention that i have wiikey installed and 1.9g fw.

 

Nice thread. Taggin' this for future reference.

 

Great thread for anyone who need help with this!


-Edit

I already have all of this done except the I can't get Starfall to install and I'm on 3.2. And when I boot cIOS downgrader it says "checking network" and then it does some error and just reboots the wii. Before you ask yes it's on wifi.

 

Good All-in-1. Sticky please.

 

I had the same issue. What solved it for me was deleting all the connection settings in my Wii settings, other than the current Wifi I was using. Apparently the cIOS Downgrader couldn't tell that I was using the connection that was third on that list.

 

[Homebrew channel install with Twilight Hack]
+Copy over the save file for your version of Zelda.
**NOTE If you are on firmware 3.4 ONLY, you must delete data.bin and rename Twilight3.4.bin to data.bin before
you copy it over. This ensures you are using the correct version of the hack. You must run Zelda right after you
copy the hack over or the system menu will delete it and you will have to copy it over again.
+Once the hacked save file is copied over, run Zelda. Talk to the nearby man or walk backwards to initiate
the install of the homebrew channel (which is the boot.dol in the root of your SD card)
Congrats, you should now have Homebrew Channel installed!




Hi - Just a quick question on this part (above), I've copied everything over to my SD card but i'm not sure which data.bin I am supposed to be deleting.

If I am on 3.4E does that mean I go into the private/wii/title/rzde directory & delete the data.bin in there (and then rename the other file to data.bin)?

It says to run zelda as soon as i've copied the hack over - does that mean copying the renamed data.bin from the sd card onto the wii - then running zelda - then loading the save?

 

walk to the man and talk to him the hack will start

 

Nice TuT ill be using this on my friends wii he is on 3.3 and ive been looking for a noob proof TUT as ive never done a downgrade on a wii before

 

Just wanted to make sure I was copying over the correct hack for my system.

I've just noticed that when I copy an existing TP savefile from the wii to the SD it is in the RZDP directory - so i'm assuming that that is the one from the hack I need to copy back to my SD.

Does that mean I can delete the other directories off the SD card (ie the rzde & the rzdj directories)?

 

Excellent Guide Emperor - well done - ill add a link to this into my signature

 

Ok, i uunderstand........... sorry

 

STICKIE IT!

 

Nice one. Imo you should add a step for installing the twilight hack again after they've downgraded from 3.4 to 3.2. How I know these Noobs they will go wild with wads after they've downgraded and eventually brick their Wiis. So they should really have the twilight hack on there...

 

Nice tut Emperor, i was actually going to do this the other day but i forgot lol

oh and sticky!!!

 

Thank you for the tutorial!

Can I do this tutorial without internet connection, downloading files in my SD?

 

i think you need the wifi for downloading a new IOS fr your system.

 

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just finished the procedure and i am in 3.2E again. Now i am installing some wads (games). I just want to make a question. I have wiikey and until now everything works ok. If i install the gamma loader would i benefit from anything? Also i disabled the disk update feature but what about games that ask for an update to play? or games that they just update minor things to play e.g Boogie if i remember correctly.
