Hi guys,

First of all, nice forum. I know this site for a really long time but never registered because i didn't own a console. I recently bought a Nintendo Wii from a good friend but the modchip was broken. So i brought it to another friend to repair it. Because the Wii is moving from house to house, we choose to charge it with a sunkey Lite. It works like a charm. Because i wanted safety that no one could have a chance of bricking my wii, i asked my friend to install preloader 0.29. The problem is that animal crossing isn't working and in general.. i want 4.0

. Already got the homebrew channel up and running and some cool apps to load games from USB. Animal Crossing though isn't working good from the SD card. This is a small history of what my wii contains.

I updated to cIOS 38 rev13b today because i wanted to try out the waninkoko's Firmware Updater 4.1. That isn't working either (-1036 error something something

). I already readed the topic ULTIMATE System Menu 4.0 Guide and it's replies but i'm not sure what to do since i alreay got preloader 0.29 and my wii is on 3.2E. Could someone please give me some good advice on upgrading my wii to 4.0?

Brief specs:
Wii 3.2E
preloader 0.29 already installed
HBC installed
cIOS38 rev13b

Hopefully you guys know how to upgrade it!

Greetings,

Nigel

I tried running the 4.1 updater and I get this error message after it's downloaded part of system menu 4.1U

Downloading content #10... ERROR! (ret = -1)

Press any button to restart...


Wii 4.0U
preloader 0.29 already installed
HBC installed
cIOS38 rev13b

Can anybody help me install system menu 4.1U ?

Weird thing.....

Tried running the updater last night several times, checking various things in between.

Today when I tried, I got the same error, posted here to see if anyone could help me.

Left my Wii running, sitting at the Pre-loader menu while I posted and let it sit for a while, then I just tried it again and it actually worked this time with no errors.

The SDHC card I'm using is 16GB with just under 4GB used.

ConJ thanks for your reply. This means that preloader will not do any harm? The way i see the guide is that the bootmii in the guide is in my situation preloader 0.29. Could anyone verify that for me ?

You don't need to follow that guide. You already have cIOS installed. Any sort of update you do will automatically get rid of preloader and you will have to reinstall it again.

Just follow the online guide of the ULTIMATE one.

fuck man all i did was use nintendo, 3.2 ->4.1 it didnt remove HBC or Bootmii just Preloader and cIOSCORP were removed for obvious reasons.

just update thro ninty, then install cioscorp following the ULTIMATE guide. then install preloader , NOTE THERE IS NO 4.1 Hacks.ini as of yet.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
