This looks like , and I'm sure that it is, a very good guide. But I just don't understand why you have to update to 4.2, wasn't that upgrade just to remove the hacks?

Does everything work on 4.2 that worked on 4.1? (that's a rhetorical question).

Did you set the jumpers correctly (2nd to last from the right)? Are you using the correct media, and good quality media (dvd-r, verbatim, etc etc)? Do other backups play fine? If so, sounds like you have a bad iso file. Try to "rip" another.

What error? Is it a pal copy you are trying? Or an ntsc you tried to make region free?

-Erik
no. it is pal.
The error is this:
an error has occurred. press
the eject button and remove
the disc. then turn the wii
console off and refer to the
wii operations manual for
help troubleshooting

If it plays in another Wii then it may be the media. Some Wii's play fine with dvd+r while others don't and vise-versa. Same goes for -r discs also.

When using wad manager, when I attempt to install the wad included in the package i get an error (ret = -1035). I'm pretty sure this is because my homebrew channel and bootmii USED to be installed on IOS61 before I used this guide for 4.3. Perhaps the error is because something is already installed on IOS61? Someone please help.

EDIT: OK, actually, let me just ask you this: is there a way to completely wipe out any previous hacks and just start from scratch? I'm assuming there's got to be something for this purpose...

My Wii was repaired by Nintedno and I am GUESSING that they removed the 3-2 hard drvie since DVD m,ovies cannot plaay on it but can on my friend's Wii which never has had to be repaired. So I am now stuck with this USB backup drive support and want to use it also to play downloaded GameCube games.

Hi!

I've a quick question. I'm off to starting to setup a usbharddrive for my wii
and I used this hacking guide about 3 months ago (just before the 4.3 update).

I need one or several custom IOS for usbharddrive and I really don't have
any clue which ones I already have, when I followed this guide.

Anyone smarter than me, who can confirm which ones, I probably already
have.

Sorry for being a noob!

You probably have rev19. You shouldn't have problems.

Another quick question:

Is it okay to update Priiloader to v0.5 in a wii modded via this topic since it doesn't support cIOS anymore?
