Hi Fellow Wii Modders
smile.gif


My wifes friend gave me their wii they bought off ebay $AU 400 with 30 games too good to be true? yeh its pre modded with neo gammer installed as a channel and all burnt games.

They have given me there wii and a hdd to install all there games onto a hard drive with wiiflow or openwiiflow. Anyway i downloaded the update.zip file from the guide here and im getting an error saying there is no vulnerable ios installed on this wii. I get this error straight after going through wii->settings->data manage->channels->sd card i get get the popup click yes to run then the error

Wii is running 4.0

I get the error on hackmii v0.6

I tried updating the wii manually to 4.2 via wifi but when i goto setup internet it askes me for a pin code which was not supplied with the wii.

Anyone got any ideas?

btw ive soft modded 5 wiis so far all went floorlessy so ive got a general idea of whats going on. im stumped

to get the PIN, run this dol and see what it says.

i made it for something else, but it should show the PIN, the answer to the security question, and what the parental control is set to. just ignore the rest of whats on the screen.

tried that getting the same black screen

also tried putting in wii sports resort to see if it askes to update via disc it doesnt seem to load discs via disc channel either thats a real one not burnt.

Im wondering if this Wii has had cIOSCORPS installed? If you have changed an IOS using DOP-IOS then this MIGHT have disrupted disc channel loading. Have you checked Neogamma to see if cIOS249 still works?

The black screen issue has me confused. Try scouring the forums on here, you're probably not the only one. Have you tried holding down RESET immediately after switch on? If Preloader/Priiloader is installed it should kick in at this point. If so, check the hacks to see if the 'BLOCK DISC UPDATES' is enabled.

Tried pressing reset as soon i power on the wii it takes me to the safety screen where it says press a to continue.

Now when i try to load neogamma i get a black screen too

Will try some searching around

Thanks

getting somewhere

used this site http://wii.marcansoft.com/parental.psp

to unlock the parental control which worked. have to make sure your wii is on the correct date first. Running an update via wii now that should fix it. will post how it goes

btw to get the confirmation number go into wii settings select parental control, click i forgot and i forgot.

I guess thats why it had the parental control setup because an update bricks it.


Only 4.2. If you would just updated to 4.1 you will be OK now. Sorry, man.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
