the update wont harm your usa wii at all , it will update it to the 3.2u and it runs just fine from the dvd5. I ran the update on my usa wii with a dvd5.

Does the mail.dol you provided get rid of the error 001? I have a pretty old openwii that couldn't run a backed up copy of SMG.

gonna try this out, is there anything specific you want to know about whether it works or not?

believe it or not, I may be the last person on earth who is still using wabmodcheap to load discs. I havent had success with dual layer ssbb so far, i thought it was because of a bad laser but i think its just not supported in the code

Thanks for this. I'm still running a Wiinja V1 so this is a great help in the meantime since I can't load DL discs.

hi,

I'm having problems with the compressed image. After running the iso through Wiiscrubber I get a 4.7Gb image. I tehn try to load that image in Trucha Signer, but I get the error, "Error reading FST". Can someone tell me how to resolve that?

thanks

Sounds like you dont have the correct key.bin file or havent selected custom key set 1 in Trucha

I did everything mentioned in the guide + the following:
- 1st attempt, I also brickblocked + regionfrii. game shows on the wii but when i try to load i get black screen
- 2nd attempt, did nothing else. didn't brickblocked nor wiifrii and still black screen. the game didn't ask to update.

I've pal wii 3.0E and wiikey 1.9g
any suggestions guys?

btw, i tried to change the update.inf with the new prophet.inf but trucha didn't let me, saying file size must be smaller or equal. do i need to replace it before i scrubber the ISO?

Well I had no luck in finding key.bin, so I copied and pasted the key into notepad and saved it as a key.bin. I don't know if it was the correct way to create the key.bin, but it let me compress the iso, I just can't load it in Trucha whereas with the none-wiiscrubbed image it loads fine. I thinkyo'ure right about the key.bin, and I have selected custom keyset 1.

I'm not sure what else to do.

Is someone going to upload the DVD-5 ISO as a torrent, so others will not have to download 8 gigs worth of data and only use half of it?

Thats not the way to create the key.bin file....and i cant help you out in locating it either because its a copyrighted file that cant be uploaded here

You need to update to at least 3.1E fist otherwise it won't work.

i kind of actually think this is a good way for people to learn how to use trucha. i'd recommend no one putting this up on torrents

  • 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
  • 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
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
