(edit) Have enough testers for now. Waiting to hear back from everyone involved in the first wave and make sure none of them have any problems. If I need more testing, I'll ask again. If all goes well then I'll write the full guide that I can post here.
I've just assembled a bunch of programs/files and created a quick and dirty guide for getting disc loading to work on 4.0 menu wiis using softmod. I'm looking for some guinea pigs willing to test it out.
I'm not trying to pull a softmii... I have no intentions of taking any credit (my name won't even be on the guide) and I have no intentions to setup asking for donations... I just wanted to make a guide that'd be easy to follow for those ready to upgrade from 3.2-3.4 that had been using softmii or a similar guide previously.
Do note, since there is no new version of preloader there isn't any real brick protection. I've tried the guide out on my NTSC 3.2 wii and fully upgraded to 4.0 with disc channel loading no problem, but I can't gurantee anyone's wii will be 100% safe. This guide should work for NTSC and PAL (there is only 1 step difference between the two, which is the start loader)
If after reading all of this you're interested, send me a PM. If you're curious before hand what programs the guide uses...
Wad Manager 1.3
cIOScorps
Startpatchv4.0
cIOS36_R8 installer
Wiigator's mios .2 installer
(edit) forgot one thing! There is a prerequisite. You must be on a wii 3.2-3.4 with homebrew channel installed or menu 4.0 with a cIOS installed BEFORE updating to 4.0 as well as the HBC.
If all works out well, I'll write a second guide that I can post publically here without all the wads in a few days that should be safe for everyone to use.]
I once again take no credit for any of this and the true praise for everything belongs to the coders of the programs listed above. Thanks in advance, and again PM me if you're interested.
