Hacking additional preloader hacks for 4.0

[rudedoggx]

The codes aren't showing up for me for some reason.
I'm using an NTSC-U Wii, and I have the hacks.ini on my SD card's root.

 

[Dinoguy]

are you sure its not named hacks.iniNTSC? if its hacks.iniNTSC it won't work just delete the ntsc part after the .ini and it should work
and I tried it and it worked.
Also its the system menu hacks not the settings.

i'm working on this one:

[Remove NoCopy protection 4.0E Beta]
version=418
offset=0x???????? #not found yet....
value=0x7C000000
offset=0x???????? #maybe 0x8134E254 but not sure, the rest is correct.
value=0x7C000000
offset=0x815C1C44
value=0x38600001
offset=0x81353E6C
value=0x3BE00000
offset=0x8134E264,0x8134E268,0x8134E26C,0x8134E270
value=0x801D0024,0x5400003C,0x901D0024,0x48000018

It seems you are trying to use 3.2E hacks info to directly derive the NoCopy Protection values. But according to my experiences in 3.2U to 4.0U for this hack, disassemble/reverse-engineering is required because some codes are different:
801D0024/901D0024 should be changed to 801C0024/901C0024 due to reference to different CPU register.
And one of 7C000000 (should be the "not found yet" one) would also need to change the next code as 7C000000 4182001C due to different compare/branch instructions.
I guess the 4.0E would be similar with 4.0U.

What does [Replace Healthwarning with Backmenu] and [No menu BGM] do?

- Replace the health menu when the Wii starts up with the generic loading menu for the Wii System Menu.
- BGM is BackGround Music

Worked copying Brawl's save, but buttons are still shadow/gray.


Copypasta was a wrong idea though, there are some typos there that Preloader errors out. This should work:


CODE[Remove NoCopy Protection]
version=417
offset=0x8134E1E0
value=0x7C000000
offset=0x8134E1F0,0x8134E1F4,0x8134E1F8,0x8134E1FC

// EDIT

Also worked copying Mario Kart and Bleach: Versus Crusade's saves. I guess this works for every copy-protected saves, eh? Thanks for sharing it. :>

 

[rudedoggx]

are you sure its not named hacks.iniNTSC? if its hacks.iniNTSC it won't work just delete the ntsc part after the .ini and it should work
and I tried it and it worked.
Also its the system menu hacks not the settings.

Nope, it's "hacks.ini", and I went to the system menu hacks.

 

[abel009]

but why does the wii region free games hack doesn't work? can someone make a working version?

 

[rudedoggx]

If anyone's having problems like I am, you could always try the hacks from WiiBrew.
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/hacks
I copied and pasted the 4.0U into a hacks.ini file and it's working fine for me

Gamecube Region Free works!!! (at least with backups (gcbackuploader installed), the out of region games show up in disk channel and boot)

No Background Music hack works too! but it's different to the previous BGM hack! (i mean the default preloader one).
It completely removes all sounds except for when you enter into channels, and when you go back from a channel to system menu, the sound continues to play!!!
It's pretty cool, except for one issue that when you go back into another channel while the music is still playing, the sound mucks up pretty bad.

Thank you very much for the awesome hacks!

Finally got the remove no copy protection to work.

installed it no problem went to copy mario kart and was still greyed out and when i hit move it saids its not possible.

I must have deleted and reput it on my sd card about 5 or 6 times before i figured it out.You cant move it,but you can copy it.

And it worked

Got me a new save for mario now with everything unlocked.My son is gonna love it

Any Region free GC and Region Free Wii for NTSC U that work yet or did I miss something?

NTSC Region Free is not working for me. It didn't on preloader 0.27-28 for 3.2 either.

The only method that ever did work for region free were the "starfall type hacks" in AnyRegionChanger1.1bM5, though I'm clueless as to why that became the case.

 

[adam_the_1st]

I'm also personally getting the whole "no hacks for your system menu found" bull. Was a reason for this dicovered? (File is named hacks.ini, its in the root, I have preloader 0.29 and SysMenu 4.0U) ?

 

[ciris]

I had the same issue too:

Open the hack.ini file in wordpad and check it; look for these:

version=417 is for NTSC 4.0u
version=418 is for PAL

If you have the 418 hack file you need to get rid of it and get the correct one for your system. If the values are correct then I dont know what may be the cause of your issue.

I can't get the [Region free channels SD Card] working on 4.0E hack. When I try to run a NTSC game from SD card I get the message "This channel can't be used". Everything else is fine. Any ideas?
