Hacking Help with preloader 0.29

[mario41001]

Ok so how do you install preloader on a 4.0 wii ? Do i just boot the program up in the wii and let it go or do i need some things installed first before i use it? Help would be appreciated

provided you have properly upgraded to 4.0 just open preloader and press the following

>>On the D-pad>now the buttons

The code for 0.29 is "1".

So when you launch preloader, just press 1. No need to press all buttons (As what LightyKD suggested).


You also need the hacks.ini to be place in the root of your SD Card.

properly, meaning you had the homebrew channel and cios rev 9 or 10 installed prior to updating.

If you're going to install the patched ios60, make sure you do that before you install preloader. It won't damage anything, but you'll need to reinstall preloader after you patch it. That allows you to play WiiWare off an SD card, which is, I'm assuming why you updated.

Speaking of that, does anyone have a link for the ios60 installer? Just the network installer.

If you have ios60 patched then you obviously had a cIOS and the homebrew channel installed when you updated to 4.0, so yes, you should be all set. Just run preloader from the homebrew channel, follow the instructions, and you're good to go. You need the correct hacks.ini for your region in the root of your SD card in order to install any hacks you want. Grab the latest hacks from here:

You can remove hacks.ini from your SD root after enabling the hacks you want, but you'll have to put it back when/if you want make any changes to them later. Everything else functions as normal with or without the ini.

install the patch ios60
install preloader

your done.

If you install preloader first and then patch ios60.You will get the message that your system menu is corrupt.(semi brick i believe its called).If this happens just reinstall preloader and it fixes it.

I try to install and it says error ios36 bug fixed what does this mean? I cant install?

run IOS DOWNGRADER not CIOSDOWNGRADER then reinstal preloader

 

[mario41001]

What do you mean it didnt even let me install preloader.

 

[menage730]

error ios36 bug fixed by running ios downgrader & installing preloader

 

[mario41001]

I can use ios downgrader in firmware 4.0 right?

 

[menage730]

yes IOSDOWNGRADER downgrades your ios so you can patch it with preloaders patch

 

[mario41001]

So then i open up ios downgrader in my 4.0 wii and then downgrade ios36 ????

Also is there a difference between custom ios downgrader or is there an actual ios downgrader app???

Sorry about all this need to get things straight before i try

 

[menage730]

yes there is a big difference between the 2 CIOSDOWNGRADER downgrades your systemmenu & IOSDOWNGRADER downgrades your IOS so they are hackable SO YOU NEED TO RUN IOSDOWNGRADER
