This is a forum, not a chatroom.
Post a question and wait for a reply.
Ten thousand people could be reading and if none of them know the answer then what do you want them to do?
It's a simple problem you could fix by following instructions but I digress

No one is helping because you are proving yourself to be rather helpless / noobish.

First off, this is a forum, not a chat room --- double, tripple, and whatever you just managed is almost always against the rules. Be patient, people can go days without an answer, that's how a forum works.

(Beaten to this damnit... same comment even!)

Second, you have boot.elf in the root of your SD card? (That is... directly on the card, no other folders before it, other folders around it are fine)? This file boot.elf is in the bootmii installer package.

Yes picano

its the boot mii thingy just renamed boot.elf on my sd root

Hm... I thought that was just a mistake from your previous post.

What exactly are you renaming? boot.elf is boot.elf, no renaming required.

From: http://bootmii.org/download/

Download the hackmii installer. It should be a zip file.

Inside that zip is a folder called hackmii_installer_v0.7b

Inside that folder is are a few txt files and two elf files, one being the boot.elf you want on the root of your SD card.

OK, I've not used this hack before and I don't know how to fix your problem. Hope this helps.

Better?

OMG OMG IT WORKED THANK YOU PICANO!

i wasnt supposed to rename anything! i just had to put the boot.elf file on the root! brb

The main reason i wanted HBC is to get orcania/ gecko

Gecko OS (Download on side):

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Geck:wtf:S

Inside the zip are a bunch of folders. Navigate to...

Gecko1931\Gecko1931\HBC

Inside that HBC folder is a final "Gecko1931" folder (It contains 3 files of its own, boot.elf, metal.xml, and icon.png)

You will want to copy that folder into a folder called "apps" on your SD card. In the end it should be like..

SD:\apps\Gecko1931\boot.elf
SD:\apps\Gecko1931\icon.png
SD:\apps\Gecko1931\meta.xml

But I also suggest you download the HomeBrewBrowser: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Browser

Installation is similar, except inside the zip are two folders. You'll want to copy the "homebrew_browser" onto your SD card.

SD:\apps\homebrew_browser\boot.dol
SD:\apps\homebrew_browser\icon.png
SD:\apps\homebrew_browser\loop.mod
SD:\apps\homebrew_browser\meta.xml
SD:\apps\homebrew_browser\settings.xml

What this does? It's an app where you can install (and update) other apps directly from your wii. You will likely never have to remove your SD card again.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
