Hi All

Just wondering if anyone can help, ive installed Preloader 0.29 no worries, but when i go to "System Menu Hacks" i get an error "hacks for your system menu version (v418) were found No"

I am on 4.0e, and the hacks.ini file is in the root

It says IOS v60 and System Menu v418 in the bottom left hand corner

Thanks

Funnily enough the exact same thing happens to me on 4.0E too. I have updated the hacks.ini file in the SD root with the extra hacks on the preloader wiki but the hacks dont show

I have found that you have to reinstall preloader from HBC if you update the hacks.ini on the SD card. When you reinstall, it copies the new file to the NAND and then you will have the new hacks when you start preloader by holding reset.

Hope that helps

well if you update your hacks.ini file, you need to keep your old hacks still on your sd card. So if you enabled region free, you still have to keep region free on your sd card when you add ones, or you will get that error. Unless you reinstall preloader.

I had the exact same problem installing on 4.0u. Eventually I directly copied the hack.ini for 4.0u from the wiki (make sure you grab the correct version for your system menu), added a extra space (carriage return) at the end and reinstalled. Then the hacks installed no problem.

Try the hacks.ini here http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/hacks - works for me on 4.0 though i'm using an NTSC-U Wii. (Region free Wii Games hack isn't working for me though, if anybody has a better one.)

Like what tedgreen just said. But there's the URL for you.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH GUYS, ALL IS GOOD NOW, hacks all work perfect, i grabbed the new info required for the .ini, and all works, thank you thank you thank you, you guys are the best.

just one thing, i think i did a wrong thing, i went under the intsall part and installed the boot.dol that came up, but was actually from the softmii package to install hbc, (you know the boot.dol that is in the root of the sd card) ummmm is that a problem that it installed to the wii, cause if say i choose autoboot "file" it boots that. have i ruined anything, or doesnt matter

cheers guys

You are having wrong linebreaks. Preloader only can use DOS type linebreaks, so you will need to use unix2dos to change the linebreak format.
