Thanks for your reply, thats what i thought but not 100% sure. I will install 4.1 don't think 4.2 adds much anyway.

@BaudhayanLahiri, I'm glad it all worked out for you! You are more than welcome to donate in whatever currency you want :D

@Pong20302000, I just double checked loading a syscheck log from the root of my C drive as well as on a network drive and confirm that drag and drop still works for me. Can you upload your syscheck.csv somewhere and I'll take a look at it. Which version of syscheck u using btw?
@ XFlak.....I also posted (a couple up from Pong`s) I was having the same problem , using the most up to date version of syscheck. I had to type the path in to get it to work, I tried everything with drag and drop didn`t work.

you can manually disable autoupdates by adding the following line to support\settings.bat
Code:
set AUTOUPDATE=off
I need a lot more info on your problem if I'm expected to solve it. But I'm 99% sure that if u were to try a different PC it would work, which leads me to believe something is weird in your windows environment

I don't have a settings.bat i have a settings.exe though. Ur probably right about my windows enivironment which really sucks because i don't have access to another computer and I have no idea where to begin trying to fix the windows environment.

create a new text document and rename it settings.bat, then add in the text I posted above and save it.

Have you tried checking for windows updates?

To fix your windows, you could always reformat your PC. Or if you prefer u can install vmware and then install windows as a virtual machine.

Dude vmware is an awesome idea! Kinda feel dumb that I didn't think of that before. I'll come back and give the results. Thanks XFlak

when u drag and drop is the path the same as when u type it? If not, what are the differences (plz provide both paths)?
Yes same path, I even tried a few ways (from the SD card, from inside the ModMii folder, from the C drive, etc....) I admit I am not a pro but can understand directions and kind of know what I am doing, LOL.

so let me get this straight... u drag and drop the files and it doesn't work. But when you type out the exact same path that showed up when u dragged and dropped it actually worked? That doesn't sound right to me... all the drag and drop really does is save u from typing the path. Anyways, if it works by typing out the exact same path as the drag-drop then I am at a loss.

I have never used the syscheck updater part of ModMii so I`m not sure what its suppose to look like, but when you drag and drop it, should it show the path automatically (just as you would typing it)?? because it doesn`t even do that.
And yes in the end it still worked typing it out so no worries (just being lazy to type it, easier to drag/drop)

I'm having display issues with my Wii Shop Channel since having updated my softmods with ModMii. The image is unstable, flickers, and has lines through it.
It only seems to be an issue with the shop channel. I've seen similar things happen when loading some games in usbloader in the past but, it usually settles after 10 seconds or so.

Any idea? My googling has come up with nothing so far.

Has NOTHING to do with Modmii.
It's your Wii + TV setup.
I'd have thought so too, I'd assumed that it was to do with forced videomode or something when it happened at the start of games. Except the previous version of the Shop Channel I had installed worked fine and has only been an issue since updating the shop with ModMii, also the fact that isn't an issue in anything *except* the shop. To be honest it doesn't strike me as something ModMii *did* to my Wii, but it's the only thing I've done between it working and not working. So, this is my first stop for troubleshooting.
There doesn't seem to be any tweaking tv side I can do to fix it. So, I'm stumped.

Anybody else have any ideas or further explanation as to *what* is causing it if not the ModMii update process.

First of all I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone that made modmii. It works perfectly. I was recommended to update through modmii at version 4.2. and I'd like to know what if a game needs 4.3 firmware to work? Can I update it again or there is another way to play those games ? Thanks again!

The upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 only added IOS58 if I remember well.
It can be installed on it's own without the need to upgrade the system menu as well.
Another thing is the shopping channel. That can be upgraded to the latest version as well withou the need to upgrade the system menu.
The upgrade fixed the bannerbomb exploit. Games don't really need it. If a game doesn't run, it's usually because the ios it needs isn't there.

    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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
