Hacking How do you boot Action Replay...

[Killer Phantom]

On the latest firmware of Wii? (3.1 I think)

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, because none of the thread I looked at have clear answer, so I have to ask again.

Thanks a lot.

Nintendo has patched the Wii firmware so that freeloaders or action replays doesn't work anymore.

burn a gcos disc and burn it to a dvd or mini dvd, boot it, swap your disc with the action replay and it will boot, there is a hacked action replay going around that directly boots but it's only available at black cats right now.

Thanks a lot...but what exactly is black cats?

What version of GCOS will work, all of them or newer ones?

What modchip do you have?

YAOSM and Wiikey should be able to boot action replay... (AFAIK)

According to this thread on TekSkeen, an updated Action Replay/SD Media Launcher has been released that works on the newer firmwares. The following screen shot was posted about it (new version on the left, old version on the right):

I'm not sure whether or not it allows you to add new codes to it, however.

It's WiiKey.

btw, is it just me or after I updated my WiiKey firmware to 1.9g, SSBM seems to take longer to load on my Wii?

I still didn't get to update to firmware 3.1, I'm kinda scared, I loved using debug menu in Melee.

Part of the reason I use AR is because of homebrew codes, Datel codes aren't very innovative, in fact I never use them unless the game is too goddamn hard to beat.

So yeah, it'd be pretty useless for me if it won't allow me to add new codes.


Anyway, thank you very much for helping me out.

What is your firmware version? You'll be able to boot it if it's 2.2 or lower.

black cats is a private tracker, that is the only known place where you can obtain this hacked action replay (which lets you boot it directly wihout the need of gcos). but any version of gcos thats boots on the Wii will boot the action replay disc.

thats for homebrew though? the sd media launcher and stuff, the one hosted on black cats is just simply for action replay codes.

as of now, no modchip can boot the action replay directly without a gcos disc or the hacked action replay that was released recently.

Sorry, I left some key things out of my post. According to 'Stigmata' on TehSkeen, the updated disc that he received from Datel has the Action Replay, SD Media Launcher, and FreeLoader functions on it. They are not separate products. While you can't enter new codes for the Action Replay part of it, the SD Media Launcher (accessed by inserting the SD Memory Card that comes with it) allows you to run homebrew for GameCube, and the FreeLoader would allow you to play imports for GameCube. I believe, if you wanted, you could contact Datel, and they will send you a free updated replacement disc, or, like jalaneme said, just burn a copy of GCOS, and use that to boot the Action Replay.

I've burned GCOS.

By the way, I have one more question about Wiikey.

I updated its firmware to 1.9g, but I noticed that it takes much longer time to load SSBM than it did before I update its firmware.

Is there anything wrong with my Wiikey? Or firmware itself?

Thanks.

My v1.08 (or v1.06, just cant remember) AR boots around once every 100 tries. It boots totally randomly. I tried earlier and after 100 tries it didn't boot, now I restarted my system and it booted 3 times. How odd and I have the v3.11U (or whatever it is) firmware on my Wii.

Woah, woah, woah.

Firstly, a brain and a hex-editor are all that is required to "hack" your Action replay disc. Members of Blackcats seem to think their site is the best and greatest...

Secondly, YAOSM definitely lets you boot the action replay. It's one of the features on the feature list.

I just tested a Wiikey'd Wii, and it doesn't let you boot the unmodified AR.

 

[Killer Phantom]

I just updated my firmware to 3.1u, and my Action Replay works fine.

WiiKey firmware is 1.9g, but I don't know the version of my Action Replay, how can I tell?

I'm sure it works, I just tested earlier and it boots up without the help of GCOS either.

(My Wii is launch Wii, if that helps anything. XD)

Black-Cats Is not accepting any more registrations so it seems we'll never get this GCOS action replay

You only need to burn more DVD.

One with GCOS for booting(maybe with AR inside), and one with AR.
