Thats the first thing you have said that I agree with kimikal27. But what I do in my private has no meaning with this problem that may arise for all and I am not trying to get personal with anyone here. Just solve the problem is all I want on EVERY level. And thats all I have to say on the matter period.

Lot of flaming in here. kimikal27, you are making yourself look foolish.

Jservs7 is absolutely right. If people don't have the patience or expertise, they pay for someone to do it. Like lawn mowing services, tax specialists and even pet grooming services.

On topic, some new Wiis ARE having this new problem of black screening applications. If I remember correctly, they can use custom wad manager to install the IOS16 WAD and get the cIOS installed, but then have problems using it and so on. You can't deny this case doesn't exist

Personally, I thank bubsexton for bringing more evidence and more information, This will help in quickly developing the solution to these 'lu64' Wiis when the problem becomes more common.

So thank you bubsexton

go on and tell that to the guys that made the software for you to use for free

You are right MicShadow about everything. And before I made the post I thought that not enough people were talking about this or had the problem to deal with. But the way everything has went with many in here, no progress has been made which I kinda didnt think so anyway....... but maybe someday they will have the same problem and they can see for themselves what I mean. I do not wish anything bad on those, I hope they solve this. I really do.

If the guy sells his time to install homebrew on a wii thats up to him, There are sites out there that install modchips for people who dont want to do it themselves. Just because the software is free does not mean his time is, So long as he is telling people the software is free. If you hire an IT guy to install linux on your web servers you would not expect to get his time free just because the software is free

Installed ios16 thorugh wad manager 1.3 and then ciosfix with custom wad manager and it all installs fine when done on a new untouched wii. After this, WD 1.3 will not load and many other apps will not either and nothing I have tried will reverse this.

Ok, let's start thinking and assume there's a 3.4v2 firmware or boot1 is blocking something. It could be that loading of trucha signed IOS is blocked or that loading of IOS with high numbers is blocked.

(1)My first guess would be that nintendo included a signing check into the IOS reload command inside the IOS, which would result in an error when trying to load a trucha signed IOS. To check this, and directly find a way around it, you could change the IOS16-WAD Manager to load IOS16 first and then load IOS249(with the IOS Reload command from IOS16).

(2)To check if it's the high number, you could use the version of my multi_cios_installer that works with IOS16, to install a cIOS to IOS39(just picked a slot from which i believe it's not used). And then change either the multi_cios_installer or WAD Manager to use IOS39.


PS: When the only useable trucha bugged IOS is IOS16, there's a little problem: IOS16 doesn't support all commands we are used to use in the way we are used to. What i mean is: I think i remember from the development of my multi_cios_installer that i couldn't delete IOS with IOS16, which would explain the problems with the offline downgrade.

exactly well good night guys.... I hope you do get those wiis fixed...I also hope however you will get the karma you offer..after all acting like YOUR ISSUE IS THE ONLY POINT (its not off topic when its in regard to terms of agreement when using a GPL app..... when you came to THIS site and THIS SCENE that is FREE to ask other actual scene members to assist a "scammer" you get this result from real brewers.. so you can see how our dispositions changed ....as a so called experienced user you would think that this would be well known enough for you to respect the simple requests of the coders offering these FREE TOOLS...

I have issues with the notion of returning a product because you can't mod it properly too.... it's pretty weak.

Anyway... be scientific... rule out every possible thing that could be stopping it - try different sources for files, different SD card....

If it still doesn't work, document it well and report it to the likes of twiizers.

This topic really tempts me to react off-topic, but I'm not gonna...

@TS:
Did you contact Team Twiizers with your findings ? I'd say drop them a line an tell them what's going on. I'm not saying they can help you out at this moment, but as for documenting the problem, I think it's a wise thing to do.

You might not want to tell them you charge people for installing their software

@Kimikal:

Let it go.
This discussion is out of place here. You are starting to look like a kid, who wants to get his point across and is stomping his feet to accomplish that.
Please stay on-topic abd don't feed this 'money' issue. I will do so aswell and will not react on that matter anymore.
If those wii's are truly un-moddable, that should stick out in this thread. Not all sorts of side discussions.

EDIT:
Crap... I reacted off-topic....

first of i'm 28
second i'm not the only one (read more posts)
third you claim that the new wii cannot be softmodded, that is just not true
fourth YOU CHARGE MONEY FOR FREE STUFF
fifth you just registerd here cuz you have a problem, have you ever helped any one here?

you want help?
PAY A CODER

You need to chill out dude.
Act your age at least and be mature.
If he wants to charge people it's not a crime or something.
He charging them for HIS time. It's the same concept as working.
Your getting your supplies for free (most of the time) & getting payed for what you do on your time.
I mean yeah, the coders deserve something also. But you can't force people to donate to them.
They willing and kindly release their work for everyone to use, as long as they are given credit. Which I'm sure they get due to their popularity & names on channels, ect.
Donations aren't meant to be forced on people, it's if they can do it and want too.
Some people are selfish & don't but it can't be helped.

You make it seem as a Dev will only help you if you pay them, it isn't like that..your making them look bad man, stop it.
It will probably will motivate them if you donate but surely they will not refuse to help you, they are all very kind. I know from experience.

I suggest that everyone donate to them, because it would be the right thing to do, even a little bit can help!
They do deserve something good for helping us all out
wink.gif

I too, plan to donate as soon as I receive a card for online uses. =)

Does not matter if i'm the coder or not. I am saying people charge for their time not the product in every industry, If you are too lazy to workout how to do something yourself you deserve to be charged for it. I agree free software is free software and should never be sold but if he is charging for his time fair enough. People on this forum have a weird sense of morals you all use wii's in such a way they are not meant to be run and even agree to nintendo's terms and conditions, But where does any homebrew software say you cannot install software for a fee. You probably thinking well hbc does but this is false as they say you cannot sell the software

I know one thing. If wad manager reverts back to ios36 if ios249 cant load ....then I dont see how wad manager just goes black after trying to install the wads. No change in homebrew as it reads ios 36.
