Quick question, will updating from 4.2 to 4.3 do anything like brick my wii? I know it will get rid of my hacks, but i'll just hack it with the updated versions. Also, can you softmod your wii with only a USB, and not a SD card?
It's the other way around. Every exploit I can think of requires that you use an SD card, not a USB device, to install the Homebrew Channel. However, as long as you have version 1.0.8 or 1.0.7 of the Homebrew Channel, as I mentioned earlier, you will still have the Homebrew Channel after you update.pawan98 said:
I should point out that there is no reason to update to 4.3. You can use ModMii to install the latest IOS files, shop channel, etc. Version 4.1 was the last system menu to offer anything other than anti-homebrew; 4.2 and 4.3 are pointless.
Download and install ModMii, type "I Agree" when it asks for it, choose the first option (ModMii Wizard), tell it your Wii is not a virgin, tell it you're on O - Other (under 2.2) even though it's a lie, tell it your region, choose 4.1 (will include the latest IOS files from 4.3b), choose any channels that need to be updated (like the Shop Channel), choose Yes when it asks if you would like to download any of the following, choose whatever you want (but I suggest you at least choose the recommended cIOS and cMIOS files), download the files, and install.pawan98 said:
The applications ModMii outputs should work on USB. It is recommended that you use version 1.0.8 of the Homebrew Channel and that it run on IOS58 if you are running homebrew applications on a USB drive (as opposed to IOS61). IOS58 will be installed with ModMii if you don't already have it.pawan98 said:

The only part of the softmodding process that absolutely requires an sd card is the exploit itself, if u already have the HBC installed, then u can do everything using a FAT32 hard drive. Oh yeah, a very important part of brick protection is installing bootmii @ boot2 (if possible) and making a nand backup (using either bootmii as boot2 or bootmii as IOS), both of which require an sd card. Oh yea, enabling priiloader system menu hacks via a FAT32 hard drive has mixed results, whereas it always finds the hacks if using an sd card. Long story short, I would recommend u spend the 5-10 bucks and buy a small SD card... but it may not be necessary, but definitely recommended

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:
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:
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?

@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:
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:
@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!

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:
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 just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
