Hacking DIY CSM Tool alpha released

[jacklaidlaw]

DIY CSM TOOL Beta (UPDATED)

SUPPORTS NTSC AND PAL

Ok this is an alpha meaning more features will be added

its like healthii and wadder in the way it runs automated

to install this you need to have the softmii tweak installer and preloader installed (so in event of brick your ass is covered)

this is a very early stage alpha so you use at your own risk i have tested many times on my pal wii
now in beta loads of bug fixes now done

basicly it changes the "back to the wii menu" to anything you so desire

run the installer then make sure there is no spaces in the title of your system menu wad as this wont let you extract from the wad

type the custom text you want to replace in the system menu then browse to your systemmenu wad

select pal or ntsc

hit go then sit back dont touch nothing untill you get the "diy csm completed" message

copy 00000045.APP or the 00000042.APP to sd card and install with softmii tweak installer


full vb6 source included


here is a video of it in action

[jacklaidlaw]

i will be adding ntsc very soon im just wanting to see if its worthwhile going any further with this if people like it or not


off 2 bed ill check back tomorrow morning if you try this out pease leave some feedback

I think this is pretty good. You know what would be really awesome though, a combined 'System Menu Editor'. Using Healthii, Pressii, and this into one tool.

Call me lazy, but I just think it would be convenient. Hell, if there was command line options for these programs, Id write a GUI for unifying all these

 

[oneleggedjack]

oh come on... PAL only? is there a way i could put in the ntsc wad? i need this for total customization...

 

[FireFreek]

Lol, funny.

Homebrew is growing at an exponential rate. We went from twilight hack, to homebrew channel, to crappy backup loading, to gamma, to cioscorp, to softmii, to csm. I guess the ultimate goal is BootMii(complete control of Wii, not in piracy sense).

 

[25164963]

yeah and as soo as bootmii comes out nintendo can kiss goodbye to there ways of stopping the hackers

i get an error after it does the finding wii text and replacing the next program opens and says it cant find the file

Hmm looks like i need to come up with another name for my CSM automation tool. Nah, better yet ill just leave the tools to others, by the time i finished with mine to edit everything there will already be a tool to do each part one at a time. Actually this is cool. One less thing for me to worry about doing

 

[DarkLG]

lol digitydog.

FYI for anyone hand editing the system menu that missed my last post on this (or jack post on it for that matter) this is just editing a csv file.

nice1 then it works on vista too

 

[jacklaidlaw]

ok now i have updated it a bit and should work on ntsc wii's but this is untested so make sure you have preloader installed if you gonna test this

 

[masterjoel201]

I might test this after mass today.

 

[56killer]

Mine gets stuck at the U8 Tool but displays the DIY Csm Done message but there is nowhere to find the 042.app

 

[jacklaidlaw]

you need to copy the wad into the installation folder then restart the program and do it again then check C:\DIyCsMTool

no longer need to to do this

 

[masterjoel201]

Which wad will I need to use this? I'm NTSC.
