Hacking Mighty Channels

[andhre]

A few things you might want to try:
- run Mighty Channels from the Homebrew Channel, instead of a wad until you are sure it is working (I'm not sure which IOS you are loading when running MC from wad but you can see this in the lower left corner of the screen)
- make sure the hard drive is plugged to the lower USB port (the one below when the Wii lays flat), since some apps have issues with the upper one
- try d2xv7final, although I would expect it to work with v6 as well

themanuel,

I have all of my games running from my HDD.
Since that I do believe I have no problem with cIOS to run mighty channels over usb.
What do you think ?

Well, launching backed disc games is not the same as running games on emunand.
I'd like for someone more knowledgeable to step in and help you. I'm just suggesting some of the things that could go wrong, but don't want to send you off on a wild-goose chase.

Now I'm traying to run the mighty channels from my USB.
I did put my mighty channels on /apps of my USB.
Also i extracted the nand again using another fs dumper, that one can offer me the full extract option.
I did try 2 ways:
1- put all of nand extracted on root of my usb, matching the meta.xml also.
2- put all of nand extracted on /nand of my usb, matching the meta.xml also.

I'm still having problem: ret=-1

hi back when this was just called triforce i couldn't get it it to work and now i'm trying to get mighty channels to work and its not working.
ok it will find my real nand or sd card but it does not find my hard drive.does anyone know how i can get my hard drive to load the game selection.


EDIT
never mind just read above post
i have d2x v6 maybe 7 is what i need.

 

[fst312]

just read andhre post again since i'm unable to get this working.from what i just read am i suppose to have the apps folder on my usb drive with mighty channels in it on my hard drive.also have did you setup D2x the way you did

- Download and extract to SD/USB
- Load the HBC and load the d2x installer
- Select IOS36 or 236 to use during the instllation
- Select cIOS to install
- Select base IOS i.e
- Select cIOS slot i.e
- Press A to install

on D2x 6 i am able to set it up that way but i get an error saying something like unable to find game list.on D2v7 i can't set it up that way is base 56 ,Cios 249 but for ios 36 i have to choose 65535 which suppose to be ios36 still.
with D2x v7 i get an error because no nand emulator can't be found.

 

[fst312]

Version: v7Final
base: 37
Slot: 245

Version: v7Final
base: 38
Slot: 246

Version: v7Final

??????

This should be online mode.
​
​Try it!!

 

[fst312]

@andhre just tried it didn't work.i still don't get how to get online mode another site gave me the same instructions you did.right now i'm hoping to find a wad pack for v7 final hoping that gives me online mode.

 

[themanuel]

Regardless of what you try, you won't be able to go online.
Only two ways to go online:
- using a sneed setup
- using forwarder ISOs (search for Wad2ISO)

 

[fst312]

using modmii right now to setup sneek.
i don't feel like making my wads isos with wad2iso.

@andhre
@themanuel

Hi Ho
could anyone re-upload the file of the OP? It was megaupload...
Is there a better nand emulation app by now? I mean, one that replaced mighty channels without my knowing?
See ya

Have a look at postloader.

FIXED now WORKING.

Only having now problem

you 2 or 3 games than can not more games all game black screen i have on SD HC 2GB

2) IIRC, this means you are using component cables or your virtual NAND is configured to use it. How to fix this (from Wikipedia):

The mode can be enabled by accessing the operations guide of the game, and (with the Nunchuk attached) pressing the buttons Z + A + 2 simultaneously. A sound is played if the mode is enabled correctly. The mode can be disabled by using the same method, but with the button combination Z + A + 1 instead.

Thank you so much for this advice! I've been looking for just that solution. The Mighty Channels Wiiware games were able to load and run, but only showed a dark black screen while music were playing in the background. I could only see the game screen by entering the HOME menu. I thought that the issue was because I had to run in some specific video mode like 60hz or HDTV instead of 50hz (or certain NTSC/PAL). Thanks again for the key combination hint.

Update: This is actually possible.
The thing to note is that, when using Waninkoko non d2x cIOS's, the nand has to be in the root of the usb drive and not in a sub-folder. This is what wasn't working for me.
With this, just point Mighty Channels to the slot where you have your 38rev17 cIOS and it will work and load problematic games like Majora's Mask.

Hi themanuel,
As I already had the Nand in the root of my HDD, when I read this I decided to try! I downloaded cIOS248-r17 with ModMii, installed it to the slot 248, edit the XML argument and launched Mighty Channels. Pressing the Home Button I confirmed that I was using IOS248-rev17. But the N64 games that should work, did not work! Also, the ones that worked before, freezes when I press the Home Button, where I can see the operations guide, reset or return to the wii menu. See the results:

IOS249, rev21006:

Wave Race 64 -> Works, Home Button works
Cruis'n USA -> Doesn't work
Paper Mario -> Doesn't work
Zelda Majora's -> Doesn't work

IOS248, rev17:


Wave Race 64 -> Works, Home Button freezes the system
Cruis'n USA -> Works, Home Button freezes the system
Paper Mario -> Doesn't work
Zelda Majora's -> Doesn't work

I tried Mighty Channels versions 11.1 and Beta 5 Mod, both with the same results. Also tried to launch from within Wiiflow, selecting IOS248, which gave me a black screen since it is not a d2x cIOS.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can do to launch these games in Mighty Channels? Is it normal to the Home Button do this when using cIOS rev17?
Thanks!

 

[themanuel]

I'm not sure what's going on with the home button issue there. I can tell you that launching those problematic games became very inconsistent for me (sometimes would work, sometimes wouldn't), so I installed them to the real nand. I don't know if this is the issue you are having. I ended up giving up on that method.
Did you use ModMii to create a wad of the cIOS?
If not, I would try that.

 

[marcioap1]

Yes, I created and downloaded the wad with ModMii...
I guess I'll try a bit more before giving up, but I'm clueless...
Thanks anyway.
