Ok, so here's what happened. I just bought a secondhand wii to swap a part from my red wii, you know, the newest annoying drive that doesn't let you play dvd-r backups, and i thought, why not after i swap the part ill still softmod the wii and use it as a secondary wii. So i got letterbomb and opened up that red letter with a bomb inside and it loads up HackMii Installer. The problem is that apparently there is no vulnerable ios' allowing me to hack my wii and it says it wont use fakesigns (whatever they are?). Here's something that might help: before i decided to hack i checked my system menu version and for some it said it was version 4.3E Wan. I have no idea what the 'Wan' means but i think its got something to do with updating the system menu with a waninkoko's updater (don't know what that is either) but if the person who had this wii before me used an updater other than nintendo's then they would have softmodded the wii thus i should be able to now (I think?). SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME IM GOING CRAZY (FOR SOME REASON). the truth is im only 12 and dont know too much about ths stuff even though ive softmodded my red wii twice. Please help :unsure:

Use modmii to properly hack your Wii.
It will provide you with all neded files.
You need a patched ios36 in order to install anything on your Wii.
Folow modmii generated guide and you are golden!
Tell modmii your has never been modded before.

Sounds like it once had dark corps or the like, updating (not that you can; 4.3 is newest) wont help cuz the IOS version numbers are maxed out and have a fakesigning bug installed in each. Can you load burned games from Disc Channel with it?

of course the reason i got that wii was to get the drive that can play burnt game disks, but would that even work on the disk channel without homebrew

In answer to your question, you can load burnt games off the disc channel if both the firmware version (IOS) that it needs and the IOS that runs the menu (4.3 = IOS80) have the Fakesign Bug present.

  • 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!
