Hacking Can't play on my SD card?

[kevenka]

Hi everyone,
I recently was able to use wii manager to download wad files into my wii which I then send to my SD card. However, every time I try to access my SD card to play the wii ware, it freezes...anyone know why? Thanks,
Kevin

you need to install the wads 1st using wad manager

 

[kevenka]

yeah, I installed the wads and then transfered the wiiware games into my SD card. But everytime I try to access my SD card, it just freezes. I want to post up a pic of what's in my SD card but am not sure how to upload photos on this website -.-,

do you have 4.0e/u?

Do the games play fine from the system menu? Are the games from your region? I can only think that maybe you need to use the region-free sd hacks from Preloader or Startpatch. It's weird that the sd menu just freezes, and you don't even get to see the banners.

 

[kevenka]

I honestly, I haven't tried playing directly from the main menu but yeah, it freezes before the banners even show.

 

[kevenka]

It says, " Load boot.dol/elf" etc. and just freezes....
(When I click on the SD card "channel section")
Also, I am trying to upload a picture but it doesn't seem to be going through.

A guy in another post suggested deleting the Bannerbomb files off the sd card. I think he's right, and this might be your problem.

When you install a wad to the system menu, you just click the banner (channel) and press start to play. You should never see a message talking about .dols while launching WiiWare from the system menu.

what it shouldn't even say load dol or elf? you sure your installing them right?? ww/vc don't use dol/elf!

 

[kevenka]

Well, it's really confusing to me b/c I don't actually know what to delete. Like, when I check the files in my SD, it doesn't seem to show me where the wads I installed are. Are they like hidden? That's why I struggle deciding which files to delete -.-,
*I still have the wads in my Wad folder but I don't know where the ones I installed are placed*

I don't understand the method you described in your first post. If you want to play WiiWare, then just download the wad from a RELIABLE source, and use the latest Wadmanager to install it to your system menu. I think that's the method most people use because it works.

SD:\private\wii\title\aktn

Delete the aktn folder. That is bannerbomb. That is causing your freezing.

Yes, this is your issue without a doubt. I had the same problem.

 

[kevenka]

Thanks! I'll try it out! Much appreciated fellow tempers!

Edit!! IT WORKS! Now the question is... why did that file even exist if it causes the bannerbomb to freeze?

I did download it from a reliable source and then use the wadmanager to install it on my system menu, but I didn't have enough internal wii memory space, so I clicked on it and it asked "Would you like to move it to SD" and I clicked yes, but as I try to access my SD card, it just froze. I haven't tried the suggestion but I hope that clarified some confusion


Questions!!!! I know this is a bit off topic(actually very off topic now that I got the wiiwares running) did any of you guys ever have trouble transfering the channels from the SD card back into the wii system channels? I was able to download and play the wiiwares but when I moved it to the SD, I couldn't move it back to the wii system channel. Does anyone know why? Thanks again!

[kevenka]

ARGGGhhhh!! I just actually attempted to play the game now... and it says "failed to Launch"

My cousins did recently updated the wii, do you guys think that is the reason? If so... can anyone help me please? Thanks for all those who read and try to help,

Sorry, but i the same opertion brick my Wii. How you install this IOS60? I stupid make something wrong and PLS tell me how properly do it.

 

[kevenka]

Hmm, I am not sure how to unbrick it but I used Cios60 (I think C is supposed to represent "custom"?)
I didn't see the wad folder from the Cios60 but after installation with the wadmanager everything just started to load and run smoothly
Sorry if this didn't help odja
