Hacking Hackmii Installer/Letterbomb Problem

[dmonkey21]

I am having a problem on a virgin 4.3 Wii, there has never been any changes made and I am booting the latest HackMii installer using Letterbomb.

My problem is the installer boots but using Letterbomb exploit but once the 'Press 1' dialog appears the Wii Remote disconnects and will not reconnect until reboot (flashes all lights until reboot). I was wondering if anybody has any insight into this.

I think that the problem has something to do with the hardware, considering that everything software related is virgin.

The causes I could think of are:

1) The SD card being used is SDHC or
2) The Wii remote being used is the new kind with Motionplus built in or
3) There is some problem with Letterbomb with this Wii? In which case a game-related exploit might work instead?

The person recently procured this Wii and has no other SD or Wii Remotes currently and has no exploitable games, so I was wondering if anybody would have an idea as to what the problem might be before I tell them to go buy a game for another exploit/a new remote/a new SD card.

Most likely it's #2 so check here & see if his remote is incompatible or no .

I'd say 1. If it were 2 then the remote wouldn't connect to begin with.

Letterbomb has no problem with SDHC cards. It's #2.

A Wii Remote+ will connect without any problems, as this is handled by IOS, not by any devkitPro application.

That doesn't mean it works with every SD card ever made ever, lol.

@snikerz The latest Motion+ remotes don't work with homebrew.

@snikerz The latest Motion+ remotes don't work with homebrew.

Yes, but they will connect, as this is handled by IOS - which is not homebrew. Please stop spreading false information.

Duh, if letterbomb can be launched from the system menu and the exploit is able to load the hackmii installer and pass the integrity checks there obviously isn't a problem with the card.

It's obviously time for me to get some sleep.

damn. It would seem from your posts that the problem is the Wii remote. He bought the new Black Wii NSMB bundle in December :/

Is there any way to make this work without having to find an older controller?

For example is there any sort of modded hackmii installer that can be controlled without a Wii Remote (like how bootMii is used) or anyway to temporarily disable the MotionPlus functionality of these new remotes?

Regardless, thanks for your help guys. I had not been able to find anything about the new controllers not working prior to this

I need to:
1) Get my hands on one of these remotes so I can test stuff myself
2) Stop making posts at 5AM, lol.

Damn. Ok so I got a hold of an older non motion-plus Wii and that did allow the HackiMii Installer to work, meaning that there IS some sort of problem with the new remotes and homebrew

However I now have a new problem XD. I am trying to install cIOS dx7 on the Wii, but I can't seem to get any IOS to work with a WAD installer. I have tried the old IOS36 Trucha Bug from DOP-Mii but this doesn't seem to work with 4.3. I have also tried the IOS236 insataller but that doesn't work, I believe because he on;y has a 4GB SDHC card...

Am I forgetting something super obvious that would let me do this some other way?

I had this problem once. I couldn't get it to work even with several different remotes. I ended up having to use a GameCube controller.
Edit: Didn't see that you just got it to work.

 

[dmonkey21]

haha ya it's cool now I just need a way to install cIOS with an SDHC :/

I just downloaded the wilbrand launcher but Im having problems it would seem. the program generates theexploit and boot.elf but when I run the expoit on my wii the hackmii installer doesn't load, instead I am jst kicked back to the channel screen. Any Idea what might be causing that. a note aside incase its relevant the wii Im running it on is already softmoded I'm doing the install again for a tutorial I'm working on.
