Hacking cIOSCORP v3.6 Release!

[smuurfi]

Installed cIOSCORP 3.6 on 3 Wii's without problem but it's not working on the latest Wii i've tried.

Upgraded to 4.2, with cIOS38_rev17. NeoGamma R7 is able to play backups fine.

Installed 3.6 but games aren't working from the disc channel (still working fine from NeoGamma).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I had similar problems and found a solution in this thread: click me

So for now i am on cioscorp 3.2. In order to play Guitar Hero 5, is it possible to just install the ios56 from newer cioscorp, but stay basically at cioscorp 3.2?

I've tried both cioscorp 3.5 and 3.6, whenever I put a disc in, it shows update message.
My wii system menu is 4.2 already, and I tried to update system menu again using wad installer.
Any idea what's going on?

Thanks.

[hyttong]

Punch-out,
New Super Mario Brothers,
Beatles Rock Band,
Tatsunko vs Capcom,
Okami,
Super Smash Bros. Brawl,
CSI: Deadly Intent,
etc.....

Nomatter which one I put in, it shows the update message.

Use priiloader or startpatch to block disk updates and all should be good have tried New Super Mario Brothers and CSI: Deadly Intent on 3.6 and both work

Finally....

It works great....on the same region games
But, is there a way to play other region discs thru disc channel?
Both NTSC-J and PAL games are not working on the NTSC.

Thanks alot anyway.

Imports aren't as easy to get working, sonce the Wii isn't supposed to play imports in the first place.

With almost all JAP games, you'll have to set your Wii's language to Japanese (and NTSC video mode, but you already have that).

And with the majority of PAL games, you'll have to change the video mode to PAL.

You can do this with AnyRegionChanger, or just load the game via Gecko 1.9.3.1, forcing the correct language and video mode.

disable dics updates on preloader/system menu hacks/

@da_letter_a

how about those games that's region locked, like the European version of Wii Fit, they cannot be played unless you region change your wii.

Well there are many many games that do not support other video modes than their official mode. And Gecko OS cannot do anything about that. However thanks to WiiPower NeoGamma has a Patch Video function that patches the main.dol of a game, allowing unofficials video modes.

Hi there I have a quick question.
First of all thanks for creating cIOSCORP!
I had v3.2 and then updated to v3.4
If I want to install v3.6 do I need to unistall both?? or only the last one

?
thanks thanks thanks

Never, NEVER uninstall WADs. You can brick your Wii that way.

...What? cIOScorp has an uninstallation file? Oh okay.

BTW, you should uninstall the 3.4 version.

I think the uninstaller undoes all of the IOS's and such that any version of cIOSCorp installs, due to the fact that I now have a few less IOS's than I did before, and had a much older version of cIOSCorp installed before finally updating to 3.6.

 

[urherenow]

Actually the uninstaller simply INSTALLS untouched IOSs.

Actually the uninstaller simply INSTALLS untouched IOSs.

In that case, I guess that means that cIOSCorp was able to improve functionality with requiring less modded IOS's.

Okay, problem.

NMH2 on disc refuses to load anymore. Used the official Wii cleaning kit, but still does the same thing. I put the disc in, and it does a ton of 'seeking', but then just goes to a black screen with the prompt "An error has occurred. Press the Eject Button and remove the disc, then turn the Wii console off and refer to the Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting."

Well, what am I supposed to do now?

Use the cIOSCORP v3.x Uninstaller, then install v3.6.

ohhh...

That doesn't sound good...

Try several games.
Try using some of your burnt game discs that are getting a bit old.
Try playing Dual layer games (Super Smash Bros. Brawl & Metroid Prime Trilogy).

If your laser is having trouble on lots of discs, and is gradually getting worse, then your laser may be nearing the end of it's life...

Oh god, I hope not. For one, this thing is obviously way past any Nintendo Warranty, or even the Gamestop replacement plan I bought for it back then. Not to mention with the word being that the DVD-ROM drives in new Wiis not even being able to read any burned games, severely limits my ability to use one. I know some here would just suggest getting an external hard drive for the purpose, but I don't have the luxury of spare hard drives lying around to be able to do that kind of thing with.

In any case, just as a bit of sharing for what I've done so far:
- Restored using BootMii to a NAND backup I had of before I even installed cIOSCorp 3.6 in the first place. This also meant that I lost all the Hermes cIOS's, and was back to an older version of cIOS38.
- Ran cIOSCorp Uninstaller to get rid of older cIOSCorp I had installed.
- installed cIOS38 rev17
- installed cIOSCorp 3.6
- installed WiiGator's mIOS, and rev14 DIP in the Extras
- uninstall prior versions of NeoGamma loader, and install 8(RC1)
- Installed cIOS 222 with IOS38 base
- Installed cIOS 223 with IOS37 base
- Installed cIOS 224 with IOS57 base
- Installed cIOS 202 with IOS60 base (didn't know if I could have 224 and 202 with the same base; went with my gut and 'played it safe')

Burned discs I've been doing so far with my stack of Sony DVD+R's, burned using IMGburn at the slowest speed possible (select 1x; usually goes up to ~8x anyway). Book Type set to DVD-ROM (when I remember it).

Real (Genuine copy) Wii Games I have tested so far show up immediately, as always.

Burned Games thus far (tested by going to Disc channel, and sticking the disc in then):
Excite Bots (very first game I'd burned) - long seeking time, but eventually shows up on Disc Channel
Super Mario Galaxy - lots of loud clicking, and black screen.

Call of Duty: W@W - black screen
Metroid Prime 3 (no, not MP Trilogy) - black screen
Punch Out! Wii - Loads almost as quietly as any of my real game copies do. No problem showing up on Disc Channel
Boom Blox Bash Party - strangely, loads up fine; shows up on disc channel
Virtua Tennis 2009 - Takes a while to load, but shows up on Disc Channel
Ghostbusters - shows up fairly easily on Disc channel, but again won't pass the "pull on and tighten wrist strap" screen.

The Conduit - fairly loud seeking, but loads up correctly on the Disc Channel.
Freekstyle (GC) - no problem

Wii Play (got it for the lulz... what a crap disc it is

) - yea, it shows up faster than any of the others as of this writing.
Disaster: Day of Crisis - lots of seeking, and black screen
Muramasa: The Demon Blade - louder than usual seeking, but shows up on disc channel
House of the Dead: Overkill - very noisy seeking, and what sounds like the lens hitting the disc or something... and black screen.
Super Paper Mario - Shows up on the DC
Killer 7 (disc 1) - see HotDK
Killer 7 (disc 2) - seeks normally, but black screens
Dead Space Extraction - loads up alright; shows up on DC
CoD4 Reflex - Shows up no problem on DC
RE: Darkside Chronicles - 'impact' sounds periodically, and black screen
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom - noisy seeks, a couple of 'impact' sounds, and... black screen?! but I was just playing this game before I started testing all these discs!

No More Heroes 2 - Lots of Loud seeking, and black screen
Just Dance - for the first time, the Wii actually gives me a "unable to read disc" error from the Disc Channel, instead of just black screening on me. Huh...
NSMB Wii - 'impact sound' a few times, and black screen.

To satisfy curiosity, I loaded up NeoGamma RC1; it reports using IOS249 rev 17.
Region Options:
- Boot Lang : Console Default
- Force Video : Wii
- Patch Video/ VIDTV Patch / Patch Country Str. all set No

Config Options:
- Hook Type : None
- Ocarina On / Debugger / Altern .dol No
- Search Patches : Yes
- Storage Device : SD
- Save Config : Yes

Rebooter Options (though personally I've yet to see how any of these helped me; they never seemed to actually -do- anything):
- Recovery Mode : No
- Region Free / Remove Copy Flags / Button Skip / Skip Updates - all set Yes

Load up my same disc of NMH2; loud seeking, again... and it times out, twice.

Any ideas?

 

[damysteryman]

Hmmm...

How old are those burned discs?
And how many legitimate games have you tested?

There doesn't seem to be a problem with your softmods...

It must definetely be a hardware problem.
If your laser does die, you can just buy a new laser, and replace the old one. There are plenty of tutorials for this.

You'll need to remove a tiny blob of solder on the new laser after putting it in.

If you haven't opened your Wii before, there are many tutorials about that too.

Might not have anything to do with it but dvd's as a general rule ALWAYS burn better at the burn rate they are specifically made for. If you have 4x burn at 4x and if they are 16x burn them at 16x. I've been using verbatum 16x and imgburn and never had a bad disc. If you look it up you'll find I'm right, but there again it may not have anything to do with your problem, I was just giving you a heads up on the burn rate of blank dvd's.
