Hacking Help A Noob with Preloader on 4.0

[funnystory]

OK so heres the deal.I had Softmii and preloader installed on 3.2.I then got the smartass idea to update to 4.0.The homebrew channel still works and so does backup launcher ect.Im using Cios rev 8.I want to get the new preloader on my 4.0.What are the steps i need to take?

Just get the new preloader and install it from the HBC. Maybe you have to install an older IOS36 with wad manager before preloader will install. That's all.

?Ok so i just place the boot.dol in a foler called preloader in my apps folder.Then i place hacks.ini?Is that all i have to do?

I thought preloader didn't work on 4.0?

 

[CopyCaet]

Yup that's all. Just like the previous version. Keep in mind that it may not install untill you installed IOS36-64-v1042.wad with wadmanager. At least, this was the case for me.

@flat; Preloader does work on 4.0. A new version was released earlier today, preloader 0.29.

hacks.ini is placed in the root of the sd card, not the preloader folder

 

[FlatFrogger]

Yeah i've just seen the board is playing up for me tonight I keep getting page timeouts, i've just seen 0.29.

I guess im going to make the jump to 4.0 now too from 3.2E now theres some form of brick protection.

Does reinstalling IOS36-64-1042 overwrite rev8 or 9 at all or a they a seperate thing entirely?

 

[skfields01]

Any answer to my last Q?

 

[funnystory]

no they dont skifield.I just did it and it worked out wonderfully

1) is the hacks.ini included in the download for PAL?
i just installed it on my NTSC Wii. am i in trouble?

2) the only hack i see in the menu is Block Disc Update.

3) i have the issue where the drive still spins after the Wii is off. i had a backup of MadWorld in that
kept spinning when the Wii was off. that was the only game i tested though.

I attempted to install Preloader .29 and I got an error "Failed to get ROOT, current IOS(36) has the fakesign bug fix" ... I assume that it means that I need to install the "old version of IOS36-64-v1042.wad as CopyCaet has said. My problem is that every time I go to try to install anything with wad manager I get an "error -1035". Anybody know how I get past this?

Any idea where to find IOS36-64-v1042.wad that isn't a torrent site? Google on comes up with torrents. You would think that this site would have it somewhere.
