We got a wii for christmas and I've jumped right into homebrew and backup loaders.
I've understood most of what I've read and done and such to my Wii and have HBC installed, some homebrew games, some emulators(which i made wads for myself with WADDER woo!) and backup loader gamma 3 all on 3.4U. I can get wiidumper to work and have made straight 1:1 backups that have worked 90% the time(1 failure, rayman raving rabbids 2) I've also downloaded and burnt some other games, with about a 4/5 success rate(8 games worked, 2 haven't: okami/wii music) Both were PAL copies and supposedly patched. I think thats the source of my problem, but Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 was NTSC and a direct 1:1 copy done by me and doesn't work.
While searching and reading the forums trying to figure out why this handful of games won't work I've gotten a found a ton of possible solutions. Some I can try, different media, burn speeds, wiigionfree and brickblocker patching but none of them work.
What I haven't tried is other backup loaders or the new cioscorp. I followed the thread and it was pretty iffy/complex sounding and I was just scared to try it myself. I am sure I could figure it out, but it seemed to be a lot more risky than any of the guides I've followed.
I am also wondering if the cIOS249 I have is the latest or not. I got it from a guide I found on here around Christmas and can't find it now. I am wondering if there is a way to tell what version a IOS file is? I don't have it saved on my pc/sd card anymore, its just on my wii. How can I find out?
Or should I just remove it with anytitle deleter and install the latest I can find? Would that maybe be the problem? An older IOS249? Would deleting it and installing a new one be 'okay' to do?
Thanks for any suggestions or advice, forgive me if I sounded like a total noob(I am!)
