i am 30 hours of gameplay through pal version now and can say for sure there is no need for usb at all, odd that this is there dont you think...

really would like to know what wii sports resort uses this for if at all, our usb loaders use ios249 so i think its for future games and/or peripherals.

in fact the only thing i can find it uses that other games do not is it uses wifi to get Mii's from the check me out channel... is that something to do with it ?

if someone is willing to take a hit for the team, as I don't have WM+...

On 4.0 or lower (won't work with 4.1)

Play WSR, create a profile, then restart your Wii after you get thru the opening demo on how to use WM+.

Play a VC/WiiWare Title for a minute or two. Press HOME, then load WSR from a disc (modchip, or retail), not USB HD.

If the WM+ demo plays agian, restart your Wii, install 57, and start over.

Does 57 fix the WM+ demo bug?

ahh i think you are on to something here... in the jap 4.1 update what ios is used to do the fix? is it 57?
i'll try that after work, not really a hit for the team, just have to do an alt.dol load again if it fails.
i will report back but not till after 4pm uk time, if someone else beats me to it then great.

HiBit, what do you think the SystemMenu updates are for?? They update old IOS's, and install new ones...

I'm guessing that 57 is the WM+ demo video fix for WSR

But not for this bug. The update from 4.0 to 4.1 only includes the System Menu. No IOS or whatever.

With sysmenu i mean only the sysmenu like "RVL-WiiSystemmenu-v***.wad".

And only the sysmenu(RVL-WiiSystemmenu-v***.wad ~ 4.1) is enough to fix the bug with the video.


Edit:

*grrrrr* Det1re was again faster.

so is it to do with wii sports resort using the check mii out channel to provide a random audience while playing?

apparently someone got a retail pal wii sports resort, blocked the update with preloader and wii sports resort works fine "retail disc" without new ios.

Guess your refering to my thread Here??, So we're still none the wiser what the update on the disc is for, ive blocked it with preloader for the retail UK version i bought yesterday and the game loads fine, and havent notice any problems yet. Must be for connection with the Mii channel then??

Probably not. As for my understanding the game simply connects to the Nintendo servers, that hold the Mii files, downloads them and swap them on the NAND. So there is no real need for the Mii channel, not even for parsing the Mii files, which is fairly easy to realize.

...seems to be in development.
Strange...realy strange...and this is only on Nintys Servers? Nowhere else? So you can't get it with an "official" Update from Nintendo? Why would they do that...gosh, I get it! It's a trap for the hackers! Run away, quick

No, realy strange...maybe there will be soon a HD for the Wii...who knows. Also, could it be that an IOS 62 is out? At least DOP-IOS tells me that...

They will probably add HDD channel loading and that's it.
I mean, why would they do that? It's like: "Here, pirates, take our gift of improvements in the USB, and put it in your USB-Loader. Enjoy

". Why would they shoot themselfes in the leg?

And am I realy right, this is only on the Server, nowhere else? You can only get it with via NUS/DOP-IOS?

Isn't that the same they did with 4.0?

Besides, they might fuck up most of HDD-loading Wii homebrew if they update all the IOSes.

Once thing i have noticed about WSR is that the Wii constanly spins the disc as soon as you turn the Wii on, even when in standby mode (yellow light)

It's possible that it's a problem with preloader, some other ppl report this problem but they didn't have WSR.

    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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • 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)
