Ok, download up42.zip

load up MMM inside hbc
go to load another IOS and choose to load ios236
go to wad manager
go to the "other" folder
install all the wads

I updated to 4.3 using Nintendo's way. And now, I try to use the IOS236 Installer v3, but I get a DSi Exception after pressing 1. It says Patching IOS for a fraction of a second and changes to the exception. It happens on a 100% chance. Worst part? I can't even use WAD Manager right now to restore IOS36. (which is why this may be happening, cannot be sure)

You have internet set? If you have it set, disable it. If not, try to set a connection, obviously, don't perform an update

download the newest ios 236 installer.

I do have 1.4, it still gives me the same error. 10 times. In a row. Nothing else gives me that error, though, I just went on Homebrew Browser with no error.

Me too !

I've tried using ver. 1.3 and 1.4 of IOS236 Installer but I've obtained DSI errors for nearly ONE HOUR !

Only one time the ver. 1.4 Installer worked properly until the choice "push 1 or push 2", but I wasn't able to see the details and make my choice due to onother DSI error.

So I run again the IOS236 Installer, but it said that it cannot do anything because there was no "suitable" IOS.

I went on with the guide (remove stub IOS, install cIOS, patch System Menu, Priiloader and HBC again) and everything went right, no errors.

My question is: have I properly installed IOS236 or not ?

IMPORTANT NOTE (maybe it is useful for the debug of IOS236 installer): I have NOT my Wii connected to Internet and NOT defined any Internet connection.

Thank you.

Are you positive the cIOS and everything installed correctly?

you can try using TBR 1.14 to get a patched IOS236


Press B to choose No IOS Reload
Press 1 when it says to
Go to the IOS36 menu
Change the "install to slot" from "36" to "236"
Press A to install it

You'll either need an internet connection or the IOS36-64-3351.wad file on the root of your sd card.

No, that was my question: I went on with the guide and didn't have any error, but I'm not sure about having installed everything I need.

For example, I've used the Configurable USB Loader ver.59 without any problem, but I've not tried loading a DVD backup with Neogamma.

So I'll do as you suggest: I'll post the results tomorrow, as I'm working now and I've not a Internet connection at home ...

Thank you so much for your constant support and your amazing guide !

What happens if I Format my Wii System Memory? Does the CIOS stay on there? or do I have to re-install the whole thing? The whole thing being - CIOS, bootmii, priiloader - the whole mess.

Only homebrew channel get deleted (and any other forwarder/wiiware/VC/custom channel). Any ticket and Wii Shop account history will remain too.

I've tried, but I get this error message:

ES_AddTicket returned: -2011
You need to use an IOS with trucha bug.

And then it suggest me to downgrade IOS15, but I'm afraid doing so and I don't have the needed IOS15-64-v1031.wad file.

It's strange: it says that the file IOS15-64-v1031 is needed although I've followed the last version of the guide, with IOS15-64-v1032.wad ....

In reply to all those having the code dump on the IOS236 installer. I had the same problem, and everywhere I went said to setup your wireless internet, which it was. However, I was doing this for a friend, and my home wireless was setup in the 2nd connection slot (out of the 3 slots). I ended up deleting all the wireless connections, and setting my connection up in the first slot. After that the IOS236 installer ran correctly. Hope this helps some people.

That file xz linked to doesn't have the required meta.xml, that is why it didn't work, try this one

Follow the same steps he posted above.

The cios.zip is only for people who want different ios's installed in different slots than the guide does (for one reason or another).

    Hello
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
