I've been on the internet and Wii for ages looking up How-To guides and officially sick of it, so sorry if this is a noob question but WiiDump isn't working like it is supposed to.

I have:
Homebrew Channel 1.0.1
IOS36 v4.18 (according to HomeBrew Channel)
My system firmware is 3.2E

I put the SD Card into the wii and try to load WiiDump, it loads a screen saying 'Press any button to exit'. That's clearly not how the program is supposed to work (I hope o_o)
Any help will be returned will... thanks. That's all I can really give you...

I've tried for the last... however long since you replied... and I can't figure out how to upgrade my cIOS. The internet seems to not like noobs anymore and all the sites just say 'Download the update and do it' without a proper guide

Anyhow, I have CIOS36 rev10 installer in a .dol format

How do I make it upgrade on the Wii using SD?

Thanks again!

On your SD you most likely have an directory called "apps". Navigate into it and create another dir with a name of your choice. Inside this directory you have to put the .DOL file from the archive you downloaded, renamed to "boot.dol" (

I'm getting:
Reading cIOS36-64-1042.wad... Error (ret = -1)
Tried multiple SD cards...
Didn't know I had a wad for it to read?

Edit: I get it during the installer for the record

So I actually need a WAD...
I have to do WAD install as I don't have WiFi
I'm using some DVD-SD Backup Disk now (0.1g thing) and that's working fine. I'll try updating later, thanks a lot for helping everyone!

    The snack that smiles back, Ballsack!
  • 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

  • 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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
