thanks for all your hard work. I have a friends Wii that I modded and it is a virgin Wii that was updated to 4.3U. I did the 4.3U modify and everything is working great except when I went into shop channel it asked me to update. Can I remove the shop channel with dopmii and install the shop channel wad(Shopping Channel-NUS-v20) that is supplied in your 4.2u update?
Thanks again for your guide it is the best.

Heyall,

Im modding another Wii here with 4.3E.

Do I need "LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues"

To be able to run Homebrew on this Wii with Indiana Pwns?

Thanks in advance!

You should try to get a copy of yu-gi-oh's 5D Wheelie Breakers, because it's cheaper in most stores (if it's still for sale). Good Advice from a "Nederlander"

You don't need to remove it, just install the wad, it will install over...

FYI, this doesn't only apply to 4.3 Wii's

Installing a Trucha'd IOS into slot 236.
VERY IMPORTANT! ONLY APPLIES TO 4.3

also, u may want to modify your guide so people following the "Update to 4.2" steps make a nand backup BEFORE actually installing a new SM or SM IOS. That way in case of power failure, the Wii can be easily repaired by restoring the nand backup (or by using an infectus if bootmii was not able to be installed as boot2)

cheers dude!

I second this suggestion, I always do this when softmodding someone's wii so that they have the 'cleanest' nand backup possible.

I have a wii soft modded perfectly using this guide for 4.2, I use a external drive and load games using the usb loader and I'm extremely happy. However I just downloaded def jam rapstar and Im having an issue since my external drive is using the slot the wii wants the mic plugged in. I tried using a couple different usb hubs however the wii doesnt like them. I currently tried burning the game to a dvd+r disc using imgburn set to 1x speed and loading it with neogamma 15 beta to only receive a disk read error 1045 I believe. So I need some guidance a good work around for this issue.

ok, something new.
I got a friend here, he updated his wii yesterday...

Using IOS236 installer gives me the "there's nu vulnerable IOS" error and can't install IOS236.

Managed to work around it with:

-cBoot2 >> MMM
-MMM >> uninstall IOS 249 + 250
-MMM >> Install IOS 222,223,249,250
-WM1.7 @ IOS 250 >> Delete IOS 70 + 80
-WM1.7 >> Install IOS 70 + 80
-MMM @ IOS 250 >> Priiloader
-Priiloader >> hacks

Maybe something to look at, as it seems to me they patched IOS236 installer?

Only reason you could get that message is from not using the latest hbc, launching ios236 installer from outside the hbc (mmm or forwarder), or you copied the boot.dol without the meta.xml.

    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

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • 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)
