Hacking DARKCORP v1.1 Release!

[jceggbert5]

How do I know if I have cIOS249 or a useable cIOS249 installed already?

If it helps I already have been able to use the previous version of darkcorp (although metroid prime trilogy did not work, although the burn was fine) and have previously loaded backups through neogamma,etc before.

NeoGamma uses cIOS249, so you have one that's usable, IIRC.

i have tried to install darkcorp v 1.1 with option 1 and it only goes to 75% then the wii turns of and goes back to either bootmii 2 or the main screen of the wii , i have even tried to install darkcorp with option 2 and the same thing happens , any thoughts please thanks

im running an old wii with 4.1e and installed darkcorp 1.1 without problems. i had an old version of cioscorp running before.
while all backups will be displayed properly in the disc channel, im not able to start them. not in the disc channel, nor in the neogamma loader.

any suggestions or ideas? not sure what went wrong. is there a way to get a 100% clean 4.1e installagain , so i can make sure there are no problems with legacy files?

help would be appreciated
thanks

I have darkcorp1.1 installed and cIOS249r20 but I cannot play Black Ops from the disc channel. Shortly after the Activision copyright statement has disappeared my backup copy starts to load as indicated by loading down in the bottom left hand corner of the screen but then it stops and I am prompted with 'The disc could not be read'. Can anyone advise what the issue may be, my Wii is on firmware 4.1E. Thanks

Anyone else having problems installing the cMIOSs? My system menu is 4.3E and I installed the full version, everything went well, but every time I try to install any cMIOS the Wii simply restarts without installing anything. Any ideas? Anyway, I installed the cMIOS WAD included on the package with the WAD manager, that worked. However, I don't have any GC backups with me at the moment to test it, but I assume even though I didn't installed it through the DarkCorp installer, it should still be able to launch GC backups though the disc channel, right?

does darkcorp work with guitar hero Instruments???

Yes! All rockband and guitar hero instruments work for me.

Hello

I was wondering something:

The new IOS versions are not very different from the one used in Darkcorp.

So, if we change the config.xml file, to stick with all the new IOS versions (except new stub and IOS 58 for HBC), we could theorically do an update of Darkcorp ?

Few Quick Questions,

I have updated all my hacks on 4.2 using the sticky "Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below", when installing DarkCorp does it overwrite any of the IOS's I already have?

Also I note that Super Mario Anniversary requires latest IOS56 (v5662), the IOS included in DarkCorp is IOS56 (v5661) with rev17 DIP. Does this mean that I would not be able to play through disc channel?

1. Yes it overwrites all your current IOS and installs custom ones. The versions are maxed out so a system update will not remove it. (you should have block updates enabled anyways)

2. If it doesnt work through disc channel use Neogamma R9 to play them. Install a forwarder channel on your wii menu for a shortcut.

Ok, I just really wanna play all games in all disc channel. I already have IOS 56 (v5662) installed when I updated my softmods. By installing Darkcorp will IOS56 be changed to v5661 with rev 17 DIP or will it nor overwrite as it has a lower version number?

I think I just posted my question in the wrong place. Sorry! Complete noob here. Please be gentle, don't know much about the Wii etc. My son has wanted one for quite awhile so I just purchased a used Wii was advertised as "softmod able to run backups". I thought "great" we won't waste money if he scratches new disks (he is only eight). Anyway, what I now know after doing some googling is that it is out of date. It is a Wii running 3.1 which must have some sort of cioscorp running on it. Now I am afraid he will not be able to play any new games we give him for Christmas and I don't have enough money to go get another Wii. Arghh!!

After much reading on the forums over the last two days I used bannerbomb to install Homebrew channel (it was not on the Wii) and made a NAND backup (which hopefully worked). I ran Syscheck and this is what I get. It doesn't list much and not the IOS249 which everyone is referring to. If I have an old version of CIOSCORP, shouldn't it be listed? If someone could please tell me based on this what I am dealing with I would appreciate it. I don't want to brick the Wii by trying to install/uninstall things without a clear plan of action.

If it has an old CIOSCORP version than I think I know what to do. Uninstall and then install new DARKCORP v1.1. Then I worry about upgrading system menu, right? In the end I want my son to just be able to put in a disk and play it without getting update messages, etc.

Just follow the sticky on these forums for upgrading to 4.2 and re-run the soft mod. Ensure you install Preloader and install Darkcorp 1.1. Make sure Preloader is set to block disk and online updates and away you go

Is it possible you have a hardware modded drive? Virtually every softmod installs the homebrew channel, so it seems weird it wasn't there in the first place...

I think it must have been a modchip after all. I upgraded to 4.2 and it is still working and plays a backup I just made from Harry Potter (I opened one of his Christmas gifts to try it out) without installing Darkcorp. Interesting.... Many thanks.

But your mod chip just isn't good enough if you download a scrub version. It's only good for perfect 1:1 backups. Just keep that in mind if you keep all IOS up to date and still find a game that won't play.

Can this be installed from USB? I lost my SD reader so I can't at the files to my SD card. Can I put Darkcorp on a flash drive and install it through HBC?

Or else is there a way to transfer the files from USB to SD using the Wii?

No you can't install it from USB, but you can use WiiXplorer to move files from USB to your SD card.

but how do i install WiiXplorer from USB?

Nevermind i think I got it.

scrubbed should be ok as the partitions are still signed, it's only if the partitions are rebuilt that you will get a problem with official ios.
even then trucha patched ios will be good enough, or use a loader.

Ok what option should I pick to install DARKcorp? Virgin Wii Method or Install/Upgrade to Darkcorp 1.1. I'm asking cause i already have Rev20 of Wanin's installed
