Hacking 3.4

[Sara-chan]

Ok... Let me get this straight:
1. If the Homebrew Channel is already installed, will homebrew still work? Yes, except DVDx and PatchMii.
2. Will Wiigator's Backup Loader still work? (If I already has his cIOS installed.) Yes. Some problems with the rebooter, perhaps.
3. Will Wads still be able to be installed? Yes, but only if you downgraded your other IOS or have a cIOS.
4. Which cIOS do I need installed, Wiigator's or Waninkoko's? Either one.

Note however that 3.4 may contain automatic updating which could disable these abilities in the future.

Okay. I've updated my PAL Wii to 3.4E.

- No Custom Channels Were Removed
- Homebrew Channel Works.
- Some Apps don't work like Any Region Changer and Any Title Deleter (like what has happened in 3.3X, should be easy to fix).
- Shop Channel works fine (My Wii is set to Japan and loads the JPN Shop Channel).
- I can install WADs using WAD Manager 1.3 (it might be because the cIOS I installed wasn't affected).
- Wiigator (not the gamma version) seem to be working fine with the old cIOS (the one from the Oct 23rd Fix Guide).
- Zelda Twilight Save Hack can't be copied.

.......
- Zelda Twilight Save Hack can't be copied (although I thought of a way we could force it to load using Save Installer, I'll let you guys know if it works).

So virgin wii's still have no means of enabeling hb on their system.
But please go ahead and test. The more info we get the better.

Didn't work. I though I could extract the USA Zelda Hack (using Save Extractor) from my USA Wii and install it onto my PAL (using Save Installer) Wii. It said it copied it but the Wii itself prevented it from loading. Damn.

Although maybe it will work if I downgrade the IOSs?

Maybe if you play for a while on the save hack (free slot) and then copy it to the SD before update and then copy it back to the Wii after you update, that way it doesn't seem like a hack, that's how make mine to display the Zelda icon on my saves, instead the "Hack USA" icon..!!

I bet it's some sort of checksum/name check on the save file, personally.
Maybe changing the save icon and name would fix it, if possible?
I could be wrong, of course, but that would be the most likely way for them to check for it.

Maybe that's because you are using a NTSC-U save into a PAL Wii..??

Okay.
Question:
I haven't hacked my wii yet. Plan to as soon as I get my hands on Twilight Princess (16, have to go through parents). I'm running 3.3U (or whatever it was before this one) (cause I updated before I started checking out hacking)
SO my question is will I be able to put the TP hack on, get the Homebrew channel up, and then update, keeping my homebrew channel?

for the moment pause at where you at , no UPDATE for you if you have any chance to get homebrew going from where you are , give some time to DEV to do some work and results should posted shortly .

I'm pretty sure that the save file would still be deleted, as the last update checked to see if 'ZELDATP.DAT' was the hacked version by Team Twiizers. This is Bushing's explanation of how they achieved the last workaround...

hold on to your horses my friend , it will take some time to break the update and extract the needed data out of it and create solo installer .

I couldn't care less about homebrew, I updated. All backups still work.
