go to priioader (press RESET while booting) and turn it off

So the actual game is needed? Thanks for the response.
 
if you're on 4.3, then yes. rent, borrow, buy: it's your choice....

Indiana Pwns is the exploit within the game LEGO Indiana Jones. the exploit requires the files the guide provides.
 
sorry to ask this here as I can't find anything. Having a 003 error. bottom is 4.3J. autoboot with BootMe no luck. not sure if I'd cioscorp installed as I have a old modchip (d2ckey) but before that i can use gecko to reboot into disc channel to play games. appreciate you attention. Thank you.

Did you follow this guide? Do you have a J console? Do you have priiloader installed? (If so, hold reset while starting the wii up, and disable recovery mode).

I see on the downloads there is now a new download called 42modman zip and 43 modman zip, in addition to the 42mod and 43mod files. Can you please tell me what the difference is?

Thanks....
 
So this new method of using YAWM Multimod Batch to update to 4.2 makes me nervous. It asks what ios you want to use and you dont say which. I tried the default it was set to which was 30. It failed to install the last wad. So ya i'm going to update with MMM. Which two wads do i need to install first, i forgot and you no longer have that listed here.

42modman is for people having issues for one reason or another with the modified batch installer. This won't fix their issues, but it will show them why it isn't working (most likely because the ios236 installer was skipped or didn't complete.

It uses ios36 to install all the 4.2 wads (not 30). It will install the system menu AFTER the ios70 so it will be fine. The last wad is the wii shop channel.

Previously mine was a J consoles, Mobo died then change to Korean Mobo. Cause mine using d2ckey (backup works flawlessly in 3.1J) so I accidentally updated via disc channel. Yes previously holding reset button will do the trick but now after error 003 comes out only using GC D-pad can pop me up into 4.3J at the right corner area. So now only my backup and retail Japanese games will spin (not other regions), but when they spin the screen only gives me black screen. Is that means that my modchip doesn't do the trick cause when I look around Youtube and other tuts after they pop in a disc (retail or backup) they still can play the games. Any suggestions for my case? I'm not sure if my IOS 36 has been 'trucha bug' or not. All I know now is my console only can revive via disc-loading. It might be cruel to give up my save data as well. Thanks.
 
Greetings,

So my wife and I finally decided to take the dive and install Homebrew on our virgin 4.3u Wii. We rented the Lego Indiana Jones game from the local video store, came home, formatted a 2GB SD card, loaded the Indiana Pwns save game and the boot.elf on the root of the card. We got the saved game to load, went to the art room, viewed the character, selected the icon, and got the buffer override to work. Basically we got all the way to the point where we select to install Homebrew, then we get an Exception (DSI) occurred error. We tried several times and keep hitting the same problem. Could it just be that we need to use a different SD card? That's the only thing I can think of. The install just doesn't seem to work for us. Anyone have any ideas?

I got no ideas on a way to fix... Try making a new topic in the wii hacking forum, it will get more views, and perhaps more ideas...
