I just completed xzeros's 4.2 modding guide and it works nearly perfect and i highly suggest it to anyone!.

however i did the cIOSCORP 3.4 at the end to play backups through my disc channel and since then i am not able to get into my Wii Settings menu to change internet connections, etc... unless i have the SD card in the wii. i don't know why this is and is wondering if there is a way i can fix it. please and thank you for all assistance.!

yes i have preloader .29.

also now even with my SD card in i can't access my wii settings for more than a few moments. when i click on it one of 2 things happens:

1. Black screens and doesn't load wii settings at all

OR

2. I access them but after about 10-15 seconds my wii-remote doesn't connect to the sensor bar.

i don't remember having this problem until i downloaded cIOSCORP 3.4, but i also don't remember if i tried accessing them beforehand or not.

In the instructions i was told to go to Settings in Preloader and change my system menu to IOS 249, i'm assuming that was what i had to do in order to play the backup games.

But, i just tried what you said (i changed the System Menu to IOS 70 in the Preloaders Settings) and if i do that i can't access my system menu at all, it comes up: "Your system files are corrupt" and then it talks about troubleshooting, so the only way i can access my wii system menu is if i keep it on IOS 249 i think.

1) i don't mean at all to be a dick but the cIOSCORP note in xzxero's guide said that it was not recommend for novices or at all by some people....

2) run the dop-ios mod from this specific post and patch IOS 70...choose yes each time prompted. When that is finished and you get back to the HBC, immediately reinstall preloader with the correct 4.2 hacks.ini file and set preloader to use IOS 70

then test...

Yes i did know that warning, so i knew there was a chance that something could've gone wrong.

I'll try those steps later tonight when i get home, thanks for the research and help though!

I also found out that i CAN access my wii settings with no problem if i put the wii in maintenance mode (hold + and - at the health warning screen). but i'll try out your method later on tonight, thanks again.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    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 :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

    @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)
