Hacking I need a three-game cocktail.

[andsp635]

Hi guys (and girls?)!

I have a softmodded PAL system with 4.3E.

I used this guide when I softmodded and haven't change anything since: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-g...stem-menus.html

This was of course some time ago, so the guide might have been updated since then.

I load my games using USBLoader GX

What I need now is for the following three games/releases to work:
Call.of.Duty.Black.Ops.PAL.WII-iMARS
Monster.Hunter.Tri.PAL.WII-LoCAL
Prince_of_Persia_The_Forgotten_Sands_PAL_Wii-WiiERD

From what I can tell, after having searched this forum, each game has its own remedy, and there are many different versions of these remedies.

I would very much like a cocktail of all three, a guide that explains how I'll get all three working in one shot, if possible.

If such a cocktail is not doable, please point me towards some nice guides for each game.

Basically I need help filtering all the threads here, with all the different takes on how to make these games work. I'm simply too inexperienced to do this on my own :|

I'll happily provide any necessary additional information regarding my system, my shoe size or whatever is relevant to help me out.

Thanks in advance!

I can help you with one of them. This should work for PAL, I know it does for NTSC. Try loading Monster Hunter Tri with either one of Hermes' cIOSes (222 or 223), or the newest version of 249. Either of those should get it working.

 

[brausm08]

see my sig for my configuration to get two of them to work....i think SoT is a straight forward one though (someone correct me if i'm wrong)...

for CoD, you need to launch the loader on a base 57 cIOS and the game on a different base 57 cIOS....
MHT just needs the game launched on a base 37 or 56....

the configuration in my sig works for those two games....

edit: what the fuck, I didn't post in this thread. goddamn gbatemp gremlins strike again.

 

[Taleweaver]

What the hell do you mean with "cocktail"? Do you want to play call of Persia Tri or something?

It's simple: no cIOS can play ALL games. And those games you mention kinda differ from the norm, indeed. But that doesn't mean you should restrict yourself to "just" installing one cIOS. And tell each game to use a different cIOS when needed.

-call of duty: black ops: use rev20 base IOS57 here (rev21 may work just as well).

-prince of persia forgotten sands. You can run this with Hermes 222 (v5.1) just fine. Note that this game had some issues with loaders when it was released. At least wiiflow got an update to fix it. Can't tell what GX did, but if you get stuck opening a treasure, you should either update or switch loaders.

-monster hunter tri: same as prince of persia: Hermes 222 223 works (heard good stuff about more recent Waninkoko revisions, but can't tell which base IOS works best...brausm08 is probably right). This game got some people struggling because it requires the same setup as music games.
EDIT: typo.

monster hunter tri I could not run with any waninko, hermes works

The configurations in your sig did indeed work splendidly!

When you posted I first thought "bah, another geek just throwing digits combined with abbreviations around, such as "base 57 cIOS", things that don't make sense to your average joe", but damn, after having used the ModMii linked to in your sig, and having started the USB loader, it was all pretty much self-explanatory. It was really easy to modify the settings for each and every game in need of modifications

Haha, that would be a great game for sure!

No, I'm just such a noob I thought it would be a huge hassle fixing all the different settings, and installing all the different cIOS:es on all the different bases, but like I said above, in my reply to brausm08, it was a piece of cake, as long as one knows the correct settings.

I re-hacked my Wii using ModMii and installed the USB Loader (Wiiflow?) that was included, and so far everything has worked out fine.

I launched CoD:BO on 224, MH3 on 223 and both worked. Haven't gotten around to testing PoP yet

I haven't figured out how to choose which cIOS to launch the loader from though, but seeing as everything works so far I guess I have set it to launch from a base 57 cIOS.

Thanks a lot everyone who replied to my thread, especially you, Law; good stuff!

EDIT: According to the version info in Wiiflow I am using v2.2 r254, launched on IOS249 rev20, base IOS57.
Although the games seem to work flawlessly, I have the issues I feared I would have with CoD:BO; Zombies and MP modes not working. Guess I'll have to look around for some tricks for those features

 

[andsp635]

Bah!

I keep getting a black screen when trying to start multiplayer in CoD:BO.

As I explained above I have now re-hacked my Wii using ModMii.

1) INSTALLING THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL (HBC) AND BOOTMII
=================================================



Run BannerBomb v2 by selecting the SD Card Button on the main system menu screen and choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf
Note: If it doesn't work for you, visit <a href="http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/" target="_blank">http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/</a> for more variations of either version of bannerbomb.



This runs the Hackmii Installer (and silently/automatically installs BootMii as IOS). Use the installer to install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii as Boot2 if possible. If you cannot install BootMii as Boot2, you also need to 'prepare an SD Card' for BootMii (as the 'BootMii' folder is required to launch BootMii as IOS or Boot2).

Note: If you get a 'no vulnerable IOS' error message, run ModMii again and this time select the 'Hackmii Solutions' option instead of 'ModMii Wizard' and follow the new instructions before continuing this guide.

After you exit the hackmii installer, you will be taken to the HBC.
Hit the home button. In the top right corner you will see the IOS used by the HBC.

If the HBC is using an IOS other than IOS58 or your homebrew channel is upside-down, make a note of it as it applies later in the guide (you will have to reinstall the HBC).

If it is using IOS58 and your HBC is not upside-down, you can skip the Reinstall The Homebrew Channel step when you get to it.




2) MAKING A NAND BACKUP
====================

While inside the Homebrew Channel, load BootMii by pressing home and clicking Launch Bootmii.
Press the power button on the wii 3 times to get to the last option, then press the reset button. [You can also navigate with a Gamecube controller]

Press reset to choose the first option, then follow the directions on the screen to make your NAND backup. [Bad blocks are no problem.]

Backup the Bootmii folder, NAND.bin, and keys.bin elsewhere and erase from the sd card (or rename it). You'll need these in case of emergencies, so don't lose them.
Go back to The Homebrew Channel.

Note: if Bootmii was installed as boot2, then it will show up as soon as the Wii is turned on AS LONG AS it finds the bootmii folder (mentioned above) on the root of the SD card.




3) INSTALL A PATCHED IOS236
========================

Start the Homebrew Channel.

VERY IMPORTANT!
In the Homebrew channel, if you do not have a working internet connection already set up, you will see an icon flashing in the bottom right corner of the screen indicating its inability to initialize the network. You MUST wait for the icon to stop flashing OR let it flash for 30-60 seconds before proceeding otherwise these apps will error shortly after being launched. If you encounter this harmless error, power off the Wii and repeat this step from the beginning. To increase your chances of success, add a working internet connection to your Wii via the official Wii Settings Menu, but be sure to say "No" when asked to perform an update.


You only need to perform ONE of the below methods.


Method A: Using IOS236 Installer
--------------------------------

After waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, launch "IOS236 Installer v5 MOD".
Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly.

It should say "IOS236 installation is complete!" and return to The Homebrew Channel.

If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work.
If you continue to experience errors you can try using Simple IOS Patcher instead.
Once either method successfully installs IOS236, you can move onto the next step.


Method B: Using Simple IOS Patcher
----------------------------------

After waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, launch "IOS236 Installer".
Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly.

Choose "IOS36" (already selected by default) and push A,
Select "Install IOS to slot" and choose 236,
Select "Install patched IOS36" leaving the 4 patches set to "yes" and press A,
Choose "Load IOS from SD card".

Confirm your choice with the A button,
When prompted, push A to continue the installation.
When the installation is over you'll be back at the Main Menu,
Then push B button to exit.

If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work.
If you continue to experience errors you can try using IOS236 Installer instead.
Once either method successfully installs IOS236, you can move onto the next step.




4) INSTALL PRIILOADER
==================

Launch "Priiloader 236" via the Homebrew Channel

After the Priiloader Installer loads, press + to install it.

You may get an error for "loader.ini" and/or "password.txt" simply ignore these.

After successfully installing Priiloader, access it by powering off the Wii,
then powering it back on while holding reset until you see the Priiloader menu.

You should install some system menu hacks now (by going to System Menu hacks option).

RECOMMENDED HACKS: Block Disc Updates, Block Online Updates, Replace Health Screen, Auto-Press A at Health Screen, Region-Free Everything, remove no copy save file protection, and Move Disc Channel.

The priiloader menu is white by default, you can change it to black in the Priiloader settings if you prefer.

One of the special functions of Priiloader is that it can autoboot any app/file instead of the system menu. Some apps (like crazyIntro) can't be used without it.
For details on how to do so, visit <a href="http://www.completesoftmodguide.tk/system-hacks/priiloader" target="_blank">http://www.completesoftmodguide.tk/system-hacks/priiloader</a>




5) INSTALL WADS
============

Load Multi-Manager Mod (MMM) via the HomeBrew Channel.
If IOS236 is not already loaded, select "Load another IOS", then select IOS236

Note: If this step fails with error -ret 2011 or other, you may need to retry patching IOS236. If the Wii was previously softmodded, you can try loading cIOS250 (or others like 202,222,223,224,236,249)

In Multi-Manager Mod's main menu, go down to select "WAD Manager".

Install the following WADs from the WAD folder (this list of WADs is unique to how you answered the Wizard's questions).

Be careful not to install any additional wads that may have been previously saved in this folder (they may be safe, but I cannot say for sure).

Hold + for 2 seconds to select all the WADs in the folder. Then Press A twice to install them all.
If any files fail to install properly, they will remain marked for installation, so just retry installing those files.


Your unique list of wads to install are as follows:

* IOS11v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS20v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS30v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])

This is a forwarder channel that will load the first file it finds from the following list:
SD:/apps/usbloader/boot.dol
USB:/apps/usbloader/boot.dol
SD:/apps/usb-loader/boot.dol
USB:/apps/usb-loader/boot.dol
SD:/apps/usbloader_cfg/boot.dol
USB:/apps/usbloader_cfg/boot.dol
SD:/apps/WiiFlow/boot.dol
USB:/apps/WiiFlow/boot.dol
SD:/apps/usbloader_gx/boot.dol
USB:/apps/usbloader_gx/boot.dol
Note: IOS58 is required and it can launch files off an SD Card, a FAT32 Hard Drive
and/or an NTFS Hard Drive. It also supports meta.xml arguments and is able to
launch apps with direct hardware access.
You should always have at least one forwarder channel installed on your Wii,
that way, in the event of accidental update, you will be able to rehack your Wii without relying on a disc based exploit




6) REINSTALL THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL (if applicable)
==============================================

Earlier you should have checked what IOS is used by the Homebrew Channel (HBC). If the IOS used by your HBC is IOS58 and your HBC is not upside-down, you can skip this step.

If the HBC is using an IOS other than IOS58 or your HBC is upside-down, you should reinstall the HBC.

Launch the HackMii_Installer via the HBC.
Use the Hackmii Installer to fix/re-install the HBC. Once you've successfully reinstalled the HBC, you can move onto the next step of the guide.

If the HBC is failing to load the HackMii_Installer (just blackscreens), instead launch the Hackmii Installer using the method described in the First Step




7) INSTALL CUSTOM WII MENU THEME USING MYMENUIFY (OPTIONAL)
========================================================

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THEMES WITHOUT PROTECTION (BOOTMII, PRIILOADER AND NAND BACKUP)
AND ONLY INSTALL THEMES FOR YOUR SPECIFIC SYSTEM MENU VERSION AND REGION!

To install themes launch MyMenuify from the HBC.

Navigate to SD:\MyMenuify_Themes and select the theme you would like to install
that corresponds to your specific System Menu Version.

If you ever decide to restore the original Menu Wii theme, you simply need
to launch MyMenuify again and install the original .app file for your
specific System Menu Version which was also saved to SD:\MyMenuify_Themes




8) AFTER MODDING
=============

After you are done modding your Wii, you can optionally delete any unnecesarry files
by using ModMii's "File Cleanup" Feature.

If you choose not to use the File Cleanup feature, in order to avoid having your Wii freeze when accessing the SD Card Menu, you should delete the 'aktn' folder where bannerbomb is saved (SD:\private\wii\title\aktn), or rename the entire 'private' folder.

At this point you're practically done.
Now you should be downloading the latest homebrew applications and setting them up on
your SD Card (or FAT32 USB Hard Drive) so they can be launched via the HBC.

For playing your backups off a USB hard drive, run the USB-Loader Setup feature from ModMii's Main Menu

For downloading applications, you should:
* Check out ModMii's batch download pages as it has many popular apps available for download.
* Download Homebrew Browser via ModMii to get many popular apps, but this is an online only Wii application (http://www.completesoftmodguide.tk/how-to-use/hbb)
* For those without internet on their Wii, check out this list of Homebrew applications (wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_all_homebrew).
Another great resource is webrewwii.blogspot.com

After getting whatever apps you want, you should get a boot.dol file and possibly a icon.png and meta.xml.
For HBC to read your SD/USB correctly, your card must be structured SD:/apps/application name/boot.dol
If you have a *.dol not named boot.dol, rename it boot.dol, otherwise it will not be recognized by the HBC.
(optional: the icon.png and meta.xml should be saved in the same place as the boot.dol)

and I have done everything mentioned in the guide.

I have, also as stated above, been able to launch CoD:BO on IOS223 using Wiiflow v2.2 r254, launched on IOS249 rev20, base IOS57.

Obviously this differs slightly from the settings recommended by brausm08 since I am using v.2.2 instead of v2.1 and IOS249 instead of 250. Should I change?

I have tried updating my Shopping Channel as according to <a href="http://www.wiihacks.com/general-homebrew-hack-issues/67034-update-shopping-channel-v20-guide.html" target="_blank">http://www.wiihacks.com/general-homebrew-h...-v20-guide.html</a> , even though everything was included in my ModMii bundle, but to no avail :|

I have also tried doing it the way proposed in <a href="http://gbatemp.net/t273317-tutorial-how-to-play-cod-black-ops?&st=0" target="_blank">http://gbatemp.net/t273317-tutorial-how-to...k-ops?&st=0</a> , but I'm still getting that dreaded black screen.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I just realized that I, by following the tutorial above, have changed the base IOS for IOS249 to IOS56 instead of 57, or have I?
I don't understand much of this, but I did follow the tutorial and some steps were:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-spacere;overflow:auto'>
ii) Select the IOS you wish to install it with.. Select 249 if you have a previous installation of cIOS. If you do not, choose IOS 36 (must have trucha bug)
iii) Choose the base IOS.. First choose IOS 56, and you will be prompted for which IOS to install it as, choose 249, and then Network Installation.
</div>

Does this affect my Wiiflow settings? After this I was able to start CoD:BO on IOS250, but still no multiplayer or zombies.

Obviously this differs slightly from the settings recommended by brausm08 since I am using v.2.2 instead of v2.1 and IOS249 instead of 250. Should I change?

No. Those numbers don't mean that much. They're basically slots; it all depends on what cIOS you install to that slot (and obviously, which slot you tell the game to use).

If I install rev21, base 57 in slot 249 and tell Call of Duty black ops to use "cIOS249", it will run.
If you install rev21, base 57 in slot 250 and tell Call of Duty black ops to use "cIOS250", it will run exactly the same.

As for the multiplayer part...did you also do the piece that x-flak suggests in that thread?

Which is why I have rev 20b base 37 in 247, base 57 in 248 and base 56 in 249. Kinda covers all base for what I need. Hopefully this should work for you too

 

[zizer]

yes all bases used

Would this not solve the OP's problem?

I did try the things xflak mentions, but it didn't help any, and I get the feeling that they're steps one needs to take once one finally gets to the multiplayer menu.

And also, I did install rev21, base 57 in slot 250 (as instructed to by the tutorial) and told Call of Duty black ops to use "cIOS250", and it runs, just not the multiplayer or zombies modes :|
EDIT: Actually it won't even start Campaign mode now, so I went back to 224.

Which is why I have rev 20b base 37 in 247, base 57 in 248 and base 56 in 249. Kinda covers all base for what I need. Hopefully this should work for you too

How does one go about installing it the way you have done? Keep in mind that I am totally new to this. Should I just follow the instructions on this site: http://gwht.wikidot.com/ios249 ?

Thanks for all the patience and help

Those instructions should be fine, yes. Perhaps you could use rev21 instead of rev20, but the steps are pretty much the same.

@bazamuffin: I could be splitting hairs and note that Sid Meier's pirates only seems to work on base IOS 58, but I guess that's a lone exception. I doubt it'll help, though, as games use 1 ÂIOS, and never bother to check whatever else is installed. If base IOS 57 doesn't work, using base IOS 57 with a whole bunch-o' other cIOS'es in other slots isn't going to make a difference.


@OP: say...those other games work, right? (just checking)
As for black ops...I'm afraid I'm out of options. I'm down to common "are you sure the internet is configured correctly" kind of questions.

I now tried with rev 21 base 37 in 247, base 57 in 248 and base 56 in 249, with Wiiflow v2.2 r254, IOS249 rev21, base IOS57.

Launching CoD:BO on 224 gives the same errors as before, black screen on MP and Zombies. The same goes for 248

The other games work fine. PoP worked right away after the re-hack. MH3 launches just fine on 223.

Regarding the internet connection, yeah I am sure

Everything has been done through network installation, so the Wii does indeed have a connection. Also, the problem atm is not connectivity or lack thereof from what I can tell. It's not like it's loading, trying to connect or anything, the screen just turns black after choosing Multiplayer or Zombies.

Any ideas?

Should I start over, and if so, from where, and how?

have you tried updating Wiiflow to r304? Also rev21 isn't the same as rev20b

I have, but I couldn't. I'll have another look into that. The saving fails. I guess this is what's causing the failure:
NOTE: If you use PriiLoader you must use a Forwarder DOL in order to use the update feature.
Taken from http://www.wiiflow.org/wiiflow/updates .
I'll see what I can do about that.

I know rev21 isn't the same as rev20b, but seeing as Wever suggested I perhaps could use it instead, and I already had it on the SD-card I went with it

Whenever I 'update' Wiiflow, I do a clean install and delete all config files/folders.

Which files/folders would that be? I would really like not having to download all the covers again
