soooooo. now i can use WAD Manager ? and if so which one ? 1.7 Official or 1.8 Unofficial ?
my mind is going nuts with options...i inquire some assistance...or a medic (Tf2 Joke)

 

[JoostinOnline]

Yes I did. Somebody had to speak the truth rather than join the TT ass kissing majority.

so whats your REAL account in here?

I would've to

you and gbatemp if I tell.

Well we know you are a douche who likes to make up stuff just to tear down the accomplishments of others, so I'm going to say tueidj.

 

[BORTZ]

Heh. Ive been hacked and on 4.0U for like 2 years now. No need to go to 4.3.

Nobody should ever update to 4.3, but you might consider updating to 4.1 for the bug fix.

Well, I am thinking this is an easier option for my cousin. He has a hardmodded Wii but he broke the disc Slot. He is on 3.4 now but updating striaght to 4.3 and using this hack will be easy as pie. Plus he can probably use boot2 since he bought the Wii when it was first released.

Yeah, I made a fake account to attack the people who created this exploit... which includes myself.
Not to worry Joostin, even stupid posts like this add to your count - I'm sure if you try hard you can spout enough drivel (keep requesting those useless syschecks!) to hit 5000 by xmas.

He's not the guy with the most tact, but he's more respectable than that.

Updating to 4.1 during the softmod would be a lot easier and safer.

why no 4.3? whats so bad about it? Sorry havnt used Wii in ages.

4.1 was the last update to receive anything beneficial. 4.2+ were released to brick region changed Korean Wii's and block multiple types of homebrew.

 

[tueidj]

4.2 fixed a long standing bug(/exploit) in the way some IOSes handled a particular key, which is used for DLC titles (among other things).
4.3 included improvements to the wifi driver in all IOSes, as well as introducing IOS58.
The only thing 4.3 blocked was bannerbomb - which means nothing now this is available.

I was talking about the System Menu itself, which offers no benefits. You can get everything you need on 4.1.

 

[tueidj]

Or you can do it on 4.3, with the added bonus of the IOS fixes.

 

[Z-Gear]

Omg the man who found that exploit is a genius , seriously a genius he must be .

The IOS's work just as well with 4.1 though.

 

[tueidj]

The IOS's work just as well with 4.1 though.

Updating to 4.1 and upgrading the IOSes individually (or worse, downgrading the system menu) is not simpler/safer than just updating straight to 4.3. There is also no longer any advantage to using sysmenu 4.1 over sysmenu 4.3, unless you actually enjoy installing extra shit like priiloader (which has many reported cases of bricking wiis while installing/contains stolen code) to stop games nagging you to update.

(which has many reported cases of bricking wiis while installing/contains stolen code) to stop games nagging you to update.

Really? I didn't know that. Which parts if you don't mind me asking?

 

[tueidj]

I don't mind at all - it's not as if I make stuff up or blindly repeat what others say without any evidence of my own.

The hacky way daco "fixes" the ahbprot bug is to install the old DVDX stub as a hidden title and launch it, which causes a fresh IOS to be loaded (with AHBPROT disabled since the magic TMD bit is set) and then control is passed back to the installer program so it can finish its business. The problem is that he isn't allowed to distribute the DVDX stub. See here.

+//NOTE : this is all copywrited work of marcan for DVDX. i thank him for creating this and i know its illigal for the data
+//to be here. i need to look at how to replace the nand code myself but since the wii scene is dead
+//and since i am close not to give a damn about the wii i can't be arsed to do it atm.
+//this is the only part of my patch that makes it illigal since this is the only part of DVDX left in it

(Note his cute hidden message in 00000000.app which he used to overwrite the original contents (removing marcan's name in the process) after I called attention to what he was doing. Note also that if he had any clue about how things work, he'd realize 00000000.app isn't functionally required and only existed in DVDX to show who the original creator was.)

I wasn't suggesting otherwise. It was a genuine question, I wasn't trying to set you up or anything, I just thought maybe you couldn't be arsed explaining it to someone who can't be arsed looking for themselves.

But wow and thanks, it makes a lot of Daco's rants very, erm, amusing in retrospect.

QUOTENote also that if he had any clue about how things work, he'd realize 00000000.app isn't functionally required and only existed in DVDX to show who the original creator was.)

Couldn't he have also patched the ticket, or rather simply made his own, to keep ahbprot rights too? I mean that's all DVDX was right, an empty channel with the right flags set in the ticket?

Sorry and thanks for the answer.

EDIT: Almost forgot. Also thanks to you all for working on this as well.

Not really. The title with the magic TMD bits has to be launched for them to do their magic (with ES_LaunchTitle or whatever) so the DVDX "channel" (00000001.app) has to do some tricks to give execution control back to the program that launched it. In the old days when ES_Identify was usable, it would have been enough to call it using a fakesigned TMD with the AHBPROT bit set.
