you can still install Priiloader i you already have Preloader installed without having to reinstall the SM, just run the installer and while holding B press minus(-) to remove the older version then repeat the step again but hold B and press plus(+) to install the new version

Ok man that was really easy got priiloader 0.3b on and it goes to a white screen when I hold reset thats right init? it also boots to 1.06, I gather the hacks way is just the same as preloader way etc just enable or disable them?

Anyone can tell my why hbc won't update during the bootmii section? I think it may have something to do with me having cioscorp installed onto my wii.
Oh yeah, and preloader won't update either, it just stays stuck at "Downloading Changelog" :/

That's because the installer won't run on a corp'd IOS. Use DOP-IOS MOD to install a copy of IOS61 with no patches

Will I have to reinstall cioscorp and will the DOP-IOS mod affect anything else?

No, IOS61 is just for the Shop Channel, I have no idea why it's corp'd by the installer anyway.

because Preloader is outdated and only had the update feature for a single rev .28 to .29(or was it .29 to .30) anyway like i said before run the Priiloader installer to remove the old Preloader and then install the newer Priiloader using the same installer

OK, well i just started up the update on hbc just to see if it'll work before using the DOP-IOS mod.
What I got is a screen that says i have no known vulnerable IOS installed on my Wii. So using the DOP-IOS will fix this problem right?

And I'll get the priiloader installer right away.

I created an account to just post on this thread:

To all of those saying 1.0.6 is better is not always true. A few days ago, I re-installed 1.0.3 because of the following reasons:

-Even with the internet fix on 1.0.6, the homebrew channel never was able to connect to the internet.
-About a 40% rate of the app loading successfully which implies a 60% rate of having to retry loading an app
-Apps that required an internet connection would fail to initialize network and restart over and over again.

On 1.0.3, I never had any of the above problems and it has been a couple days. I think it's because I have one of the first produced wii's because other than CIOS38 rev 17, my wii doesn't have anymore softmods.

I have only seen two apps have problems with hbc 1.0.6 Homebrew broswer and usb loader gx. GX is fixable by installing it has a channel (but it's update feature than wont work). The GX's problem most likly fixed, was a few revs ago, but i still like it as a channel.

Hombrew broswer, just have to keep trying. Net connction only fails 1 out of 5 times for it.

I agree, not updating HBC makes no cents at all!

hmmmm

2 Q's, what IOS is your HBC running on, and what version is that IOS?

1.06 is better than 1.03, no question about it, i think u had a buggy installation (did u really think your one bad experience outweighed the many more positive ones?)

Hi xflak40,

I am sorry for the delayed response. It is using IOS 51 v18.25, at least it is for 1.0.3.

In this case, 1.0.6 definitely had more bad then good. For example, I have had to restart my wii sometimes up to 3 times in a row if I wanted to get an application running. I put up with this for several months with just about every app. As soon as 1.0.6 came out I installed it. I soon noticed that the recent release had a internet bug on it only on some wiis. In my case my internet wasn't working so I downloaded the fix for it and re-installed it. It would still never initialize the network and my issue has been thrown out the window.

On 1.0.3 I never had any problems at all with it. Runs everything perfect, network initializes 100% of the time, I lose the capability with auto SD detection but it's a small price to pay especially when I only need to push 'reload.' Several other updates to the homebrew channel to 1.0.6 was to get around the 4.2 update, My wii is not 4.2 so I do not exactly require the work arounds.

You Keep trying to sell that shit, your abviously a Hombreware seller

1.0.3 is outdate, the only reason to stop at it is the fact it doent have the recent upside down scam f*ckers deterant. so IMHO your selling this in a pack and trying to get info on how to stop shit asking you to update itself

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
