Hey noob, What if I already installed HBC using TP Hack but no other channels added and I'm on 3.4u? Do i have to re-do the TP Hack or just skip that part and just go to my HBC and load the wad manager? I am a noob at this and like the idea of not having to downgrade. TIA

noobwarrior7 · Jan 7, 2009

you do NOT have to do tp-hack or downgrade or anything like that....but you will have to move the boot.dol (or since youre on 3.4 it will be (FIRST) boot.dol UNTIL AFTER you install IOS16, then replace it with (SECOND) boot.mod and (THIRD) rename it to boot.dol, or you can even make different folder for them) to its rightful place in some subfolder of the "apps" folder...I just expect anyone with HBC already installed to know what they have to do with a boot.dol, otherwise...why would you have HBC? :-)

Arek1985 · Jan 7, 2009

Noob thanks for the update. Keep up the great work. I think this should keep everyone happy unless there's a big release or revolution to either softchip or gamma.

rommy667 · Jan 7, 2009

Thanks for the reply noob! I have IOS16-64-v257-prod-wad. If I understand correctly, I need to install that first AFTER I move boot.dol from the root of the SD card. Then, after IOS16 is installed, rename boot.dol to boot.mod and put it back in the root? Then what do I do? I know I am the noobiest of all noobs. lol Thanks again!

noobwarrior7 · Jan 7, 2009

no, youre just a little bit off,

you can only run "bool.dol"

try to install all the wads in the pack itself with "boot.dol" first.

IF that doesnt work, install IOS16

after that, turn off the wii

take out the sd card and put it in your pc

delete/rename the "boot.dol"

and rename "boot.mod" to "boot.dol"

now, boot it up again,

and try to install the pack with THAT (new) boot.dol

---clarification notes:----
so...boot.mod is a modification of boot.dol, that is needed for more recent updaters,
but you STILL have to get at least ios16 installed with the regular boot.dol,
so the modification can work.
which should be no problem.

if your IOS16 won't install, you are doing something wrong, because there is no reason for that at this time. if you already have it installed, you can use boot.mod (rename it to boot.dol though) right from the get-go.

OK, I think I am starting to understand. Regarding "renaming Boot.mod to Boot.dol", I don't see a Boot.mod in the folder. I feel stupid asking but I really appreciate your help. Where does the Boot.mod come from?

noobwarrior7 · Jan 7, 2009

it is in there. maybe you don't have "view full filename" or whatever enabled on your computer.

Blue-K · Jan 7, 2009

Can somebody help me for the last time? I just want to be shure that everything is right and up-to-date...

QUOTE said:
01-cIOS247-v5_fix-ppc_gba.wad = No Idea..maybe for Waninkokos Launcher 0.1?
07-cIOS249-v7_waninkokoFULL-nw7.wad = Latest cIOS from Waninkoko
08-cIOS248-v7_WiiPowerFix-nw7.wad = Modified IOS for Rockband

Is this right? Thanks in Advance!

Man, you are so patient. I can't thank you enough! I manged to install all 8 wads. I had to install ios16 before the custom Wad manager would load the others. I have gotten one game to load and play fine. 2 others freeze on the "strap the wiimote to your wrist" screen. Which loader works the best and do I have to "scrub or patch" my games to work? Thanks again!!

***Edit update***

noobwarrior7....I freakin love you man!! All is working great. I just got to experiment with the loaders to see how to get them all to work. I have only used Softchip so far. I am sorry I was a pain trying to figure this out. Your help was greatly appreciated. I am a certified PC repair guy and if I can ever help you and return the favor, just ask! Have a great New Year!!

noobwarrior7 · Jan 8, 2009

@ecw,

glad you got it all worked out, have fun.

@blue-k

247 is cIOS_rev5 (to be specific, cIOS_fix) by ppc_gba, works with wiigator launcher 0.1 ("patched" discs, requires the dvdx wad included)
248 is cIOS_rev7 using IOS37 instead of 36 to get RB instruments working
249 is cIOS_rev7 standard/full by Waninkoko...latest "official" cIOS

that is how it breaks down

as an added fyi: the available korean cIOS replaces 249, BUT is the exact same as the 248 except it includes korean disc support and breaks wad installs.

should cover it all.

AsosaYoung · Jan 9, 2009

Thank You so much this pack has my Wii totally backup functional. I have the Menu 3.2 + Starfall Diagnostic Check Patch + TP-Hack + HBC.

[use an nfo viewer or notepad to view the nfo file]

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
[will need to uninstall using V1 wads
IF you want to remove some stuff from the very old VERSION 1]

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Info About This Any-Region 3-Launcher SoftMod Pack:

NOTE: You will need to get at least the Twilight Hack working on your own for this:
<a href="http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=83479" target="_blank">Twilight Hack Sticky</a>
<a href="http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Twilight_Hack" target="_blank">Twilight Hack @ Wiibrew</a>
-Menu 3.2 and below? You can use any alpha or beta1 versions of TP-hack.
-Menu 3.3 (v1 or v2)? You can use the beta1.
-Menu 3.4? you can use the new beta2; even though it deletes after reboot, you only need the One (1) run of Wad Manager, and STILL NO DOWNGRADING!!!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

-The 3 Launchers Included:
...WiiGator 0.3g NeoRame Wii-IshV3 Edition w/ 002 Fix (aimed at IOS249)
...WiiGator 0.1 NiceColorEdtion mod by WiiPower with entryholder (aimed at IOS247)
-[Reminder: 0.1 backup discs need to be decrypted ("patched"), program included, but you must obtain common-key]
...SoftChip SVN r76 (selectable IOS; IOS248 included to make Rock Band Instruments work and customz)

TOTAL BLOCKS: Approx 55

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

-3 different-looking channels, BannerBrick Tested, region-free, NO problems,
banners were just poached, but everyone should be credited now.

-NOT my channels AT ALL, I just did the dol injections and renaming to make it make sense as best I could.
Claim credit if you're due, for sure.

-Basically, this is ALL WADS, and that's IT...for all you noobs out there this is good..in other words:

One (1) boot of TP-Hack, to do One (1) boot of WAD Manager,
then install All EIGHT* (8) wads, AND YOU'RE DONE!
(I included a DVDx wad for 247 just for you guys)

(*only 5 (FIVE) if you don't "patch"/decrypt)

NO hbc or installer programs needed at all!!!!

....which means....
-NO DOWNGRADE NEEDED AT ALL!!!!
NONE!!!! EVEN ON 3.4!!!

THIS EVEN OVERWRITES VERSION 2 + 3, 100% TESTED

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Install Tutorial:

(IF you experience problems, Start over by first....
UNINSTALLING ALL PREVIOUS LAUNCHER/LOADER FILES AND ANY INSTANCES OF DVDX)

0) IF you have either of the newest updates, get IOS16 elsewhere, install it using standard wad manager (boot.dol),
and use davi92's provided "modified" wad manager (boot.mod THEN renamed to boot.dol) for EVERY step after this.
DO NOT ASK FOR IOS16.
I ABSOLUTELY WILL PROVIDE IT, PERIOD<a href="http://www.filefactory.com/file/586ccf/n/useful_rar" target="_blank">.</a>

1) Boot your WAD Manager via the TP-hack, HBC, channel, or whatever you use.

2) Install wads number 1 through 8 (you have a choice on 6), and exit the program. 
~6a Waninkoko Disc Dumper
~6b wiihttpd-do

3) Get back to the main menu and ENJOY!!!! 

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Also includes 2 different disc dumpers you can basically figure out for yourselves,
I'd recommend you use Firefox to navigate to your Wii's IP. Also, ithe wiihttpd-do will crash if you
do not have an sd card in the slot with an empty "www" folder in the root,
or if you mistakenly press A when you load the program...
...NO button presses needed for this app.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR THIS PACK:
3 Main Things You Can Do:
-Thank the awesome authors of the apps (and the banner creators)
-Visit: <a href="http://www.thehungersite.com" target="_blank">TheHungerSite.com</a> and either donate or just click for me!
-Buy "The Conduit" when it comes out

BONUS STUFF for V3 (more wads!):

<a href="http://www.filefactory.com/file/07541c/n/gbatempTRIBUTE-LauncherChannelcombo-djtaz_fishears_rar" target="_blank">GBATemp Tribute Launcher Channel</a> - a combination of work done by djtaz and fishears, packed by me...WILL overwrite/replace the gamma launcher in the pack.

cIOS_rev7 with Native Korean Disc Support - created by QLeap, packed by me, WILL overwrite your current IOS249, not recommended as it completely breaks wad installs, and must be removed using AnyTitle Deleter or the author's installer, found elsewhere.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HBC INSTALLED.
Features:
-Boot untouched Korean Discs/1:1 Backups using the newest launchers
-Trucha bug patched in
-Supposedly supports everything else rev7 supports...BUT...
Bugs:
-Breaks wad installs
-Other homebrew acts weird from time-to-time
-If ANY channel is clicked WHILE a Korean disc is ALREADY in drive, your system will freeze.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

COMMON PROBLEMS:
-Wad Manager won't install the wads? See STEP 0
-Done step 0 and still get errors?
~Remove USB stuff
~Remove GC stuff
-Launchers won't load games?
~Remove USB stuff
~Check and make sure you are using DVD-R, or DVD+R if it is booktyped "DVD-ROM"
~Do not use RW media
~Check and see if others have the same problem with that specific game
~Make sure a valid SD card is inserted (this fixes a crash in the Dumper as well) - this should no longer cause launcher problems
-note that this pack may NOT work on Korean Wii's.

-NOTE: Gamma channel gives me a minor graphical glitch if I go to it's menu without a disc inserted, no biggie though,
and it might be something I'm doing....don't give it a second thought.

QuikFAQ:
"When I start a channel, it reboots the Wii...what's up?"
You are missing an IOS in the 30's, most likely 37. Rip it using
WiiScrubber from a disc image that has it, and install it with Wad Manager.
To first check that you actually are missing it, just run "AnyTitle Deleter"
and under system titles, see if it is there.

"Why does NFS: Undercover and others not work/give 002 error?"
This WAS an unresolved issue because it needs new the IOS55....NOT ANYMORE!
002 error should not be present on this version, except with the old 0.1nce launcher.

"How do you get Red Steel, MK:Arm, MoH:H2 to work?"
Some people have had success by patching them using "IOSPatcher 1.1" (by waninkoko?) to patch them to use IOS249 (which the launcher(s) use(s))...look elsewhere, I know this works.

"SoftChip/other channels code-dumps at times, why?"
Proceed as normal, everything is working fine...if you get problems, delete the SoftChip folder on your SD, but you may keep getting code dumps.

"Regular disc channel has started acting funky, and my regular discs are not loading?"
Just do a full power-cycle (cut power from your wii entirely for about 15 seconds).

"I have no intention of ever "patching" (decrypting) any discs; I like 1:1, so do I need ALL of this?"
*You can skip installing wads 1-3, and proceed to 4-8. Enjoy YOUR 2-launcher setup.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
All the launcher apps loaded for me completely into the program.
ALL occasionaly gave me some errors on disc loading, BUT....
this is because of a nice little 'device' attached to my disc drive.

Feel free to test and report back!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

The Intent/GOALS of this pack are:

1) Make (basically) every single step into wad installs, for noobs and upgraded systems.

2) Have channels pointing at IOS 249 for the newer versions,
and at 247 for the older launcher,
so people can still use the decrypted (called "patched") discs,
and the games that don't work on the new launchers at the moment.

3) Make it all work without any downgrade at all!!!!!!

4) Require NO internet connection!!!

So....enjoy all the wads!....just install them in the order they direct (1 through 8).

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

BIG THANKS:

IOS247 is a proper copy of "cIOS fix" (aka: rev5) by ppc_gba
IOS249 is a proper copy of "cIOS249_rev7 full" by Waninkoko and Wiigator, dumped by me
IOS248 is a proper copy of "cIOS_rev7 using IOS37" to get Rock Band Instruments working and still keep trucha,
thought up by requiem4d and distributed by Arm The Homeless originally, this comes from WiiPower's older toy.

WiiGator launcher made by: WiiGator (duh)
SoftChip made by: requiem4d, et al., channel by 0RanGecHicKeN
This build compiled by kavid.
WAD Manager and cIOS in general began by: waninkoko

Banners by various folks: WiiShizza, NeoRame, alejandroues, Tgames, Cladil, loesjoel (0c) etc. (please claim)
Took 2 channels from Wiigee's sig and swapped IOSes originally
Some launcher mods by WiiPower
WiiShizza for his BLC originally
davi92 for WAD Manager running off 16

I made it a point to NOT thank anyone
I thought wouldn't WANT to be thanked, so that may be the case.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

I did no coding work. I just assembled the pack, renaming/repacking,
and typed up this info. I don't code, I don't bugtest,
I actually barely even play my wii, lol.

i have successfully installed V4 , the only "problem" i have noticed is that the SD card , with WADS installed is not longer detected in HOME BRU CHANNEL , is this normal , how would i un installed the WADS should it be required, im am running V3.2E firmware

Hellfire · Jan 12, 2009

Sorry for the stupid question, but since I have to delete DVDx I'm guessing I won't be able to watch DVDs in mplayer right?

noobydoo · Jan 15, 2009

Hi, I'm another noob hoping to get TBS4 working.
This may be a silly question, but does TBS4 work with NTSC and PAL wii's? I have a PAL wii version 3.4.
I'm only intending to use PAL games to make sure I don't brick my wii.

Thanks for all your hard work noobwarrior!

noobwarrior7 · Jan 16, 2009

it will work on any region (except possibly korean) and any update. (if the wii resets when you load the channel, its probably not because of region, its because you don't have IOS37.)

about dvdx, if you want to still watch dvds, just don't install wads 1-3, leave DVDx installed in "normal" installation mode, and continue using mplayer. the dvdx wad just switches it from a normal install to an IOS247 install, but if you dont even plan on using patched discs, there is no reason for you to give up your dvd playback, as dvdx is not needed for the two newer launchers, softchip and gamma.

20clarky08 · Jan 16, 2009

sup Noob...

this saved my arse today man, promised someone i'd get them up and running and gets to there place and lone behold its on 3.4 lol
