USA Wii 4.3u, attemping the SSBB Exploit.

No previous saves

Copied data from 43.zip that I got link from email

Tell it no save file at startup, go to vault, tells me it can't find a save and then just hangs there and making a "whining" sound.

Now what?

Try creating a save, and then deleting the default stages?

burritoboy9984 - thanks, I'll have to try that later (friends Wii)

But I have a question about mine (4.2U w/BannerBomb), it seems CIOS 249 is corrupted. When I try to use Wannako 1.4 (or 1.5, don't remember) it disconnects the Wii controller at the select CIOS screen. Any ideas on how to fix that or what would be causing it?

Thanks

**EDIT**
Can I re-flash Bannerbomb, or will this completely hose my system? Oh, This bannerbomb hack was done when 4.2 originally came out, if that matters

Are you able to select 236?

 

[iceflow420]

Will I be able to fix 249 with that? None of my Game Channels or USB Loader are working either

Yes, you are supposed to pick 236. That's what it says in the guide.

 

[iceflow420]

Yes, that was what the "current" guide says, I read that. When I updated my hack I was going from 4.0 to 4.2, 4.3 wasn't even out yet.

I will repost this again, I am on 4.2u (USA) and my ios249 has stopped working (no game channels or USB loader will work). When I pick 249 from the wad manager is shuts off the controllers.

Is there a way to fix this or can I just redo the Bannerbomb exploit?

Thank you so much for this guide! I'm new to the Wii modding scene and went through the guide quickly with no issues!!

I just had one question which I'm not sure if someone could answer here. I would like to use USB Loader GX but I'm not entirely sure which version to use. They have different ones for different IOS.' Just looking for some simple directions for setup to configure the loader similar to the guide here.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am a newb when it comes to this sort of stuff. The only way I was able to mod my Wii was thanks to this wonderful guide!!

Just follow the modify 4.2 section again.

USB Loader GX was/is buggy, I recommend config for a rock solid loader. But for more info on gx, hit up their thread in the backup loader section.

Sorry if this has been asked before but im in a bit of a predicament! Its kinda specific & i searched google & I couldn't find anything there & couldn't find anything using the search feature here.
Basically have a wii that was already hacked, something happened & its not reading discs anymore, one of my friends updated to 4.3 (fail) cause he thought that might fix it, obv it.
Looking at the exploits for 4.3 they all seem to rely on loading a game & exploiting a save from there. I'm not a noob at softmodding wii's, I've done a good few before so I'm up with the terminology etc.
One possibility I thought of was if someone uploaded a modded save file & I could work from there? Not sure though as it seems i have to load a game all the time.
Any other possibilities?

Thanks for taking the time to read this & help a gbatemp noob!

After updating the Wii to 4.3, did you still have the Homebrew Channel? If not, you will have to reinstall it using one of the games listed in the original post. Period. If you still have any forwarder channels leftover from before you updated, you might be able to use one of those instead. Once you have the Homebrew Channel installed, you no longer need any of the games. If you still have the Homebrew Channel, you can install the necessary IOS files from there using ModMii in order to troubleshoot why you are having difficulties reading discs.

Edit: If I wasn't clear, without the Homebrew Channel, a forwarder channel, or the ability to load discs, you're out of luck.

Thanks for the quick reply man, appreciate it. The homebrew channel isn't on it cause your man deleted it for no good f reason!!!!! So it's still "hacked" afaik, but there's just no way to actually put any homebrew on it (?)
Do you think there's any chance of a new exploit coming out for 4.3 or has the scene slowed down, I haven't been following lately.

One more thing re the save games; if I understand correctly you need to actually load the game at least once? Or in otherwords, I'm f'd on the A!!!

So it's still "hacked" afaik, but there's just no way to actually put any homebrew on it (?)Versions 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 of the Homebrew Channel would not have been deleted by the 4.3 update, so you must have been using an old version. The only ways to get the Homebrew Channel back are to use one of the game exploits in order to load the HackMii Installer or use a leftover forwarder channel in order to load the HackMii Installer.

Do you think there's any chance of a new exploit coming out for 4.3 or has the scene slowed down, I haven't been following lately.It is possible, but I highly doubt it. It has been a year since 4.3 came out, and no exploit has been released that would allow for the installation of the Homebrew Channel without the use of certain game discs.

Correct. Your only option appears to be to get your disc drive replaced or repaired. You might want to try cleaning the lens.

 

[envoy221]

Thanks for the continued support laciis, is there any +rep on this site? I can't see it if there is!
Gonna try cleaning the lens now. What did you mean about using an old forwarder channel btw? How would I access it if it had been there?

If you have a channel on your Wii that forwarded you to an app on your SD card, that would be considered a forwarder channel. For example, if you have the WiiMC Channel installed on your Wii's system menu, you could possibly trick it in order to get forwarded to the HackMii installer. Other common forwarder channels include the Configurable USB Loader Channel, the NeoGamma Channel, and the Gecko OS Channel. If you have any custom channels still installed on your Wii's system menu, they are likely forwarder channels.

 

[envoy221]

No, there's no channels there! Last hope is cleaning the laser, which isn't looking too bad tbh from my reading of google. It's just opening it up might be a balls, I have tuts, just dunno if I have the correct tools!
Thanks again anyway man, I'm off to try to open up my wii & pray!

Hi, I modified my Wii back when I had 4.2, but recently my mother upgraded it to 4.3 to play a new game of hers, and so when I try and load USB Loader GX (I believe is what it's called), I can't access the program. All other homebrew applications work perfectly, though.

So basically I just need that to run. Thanks!

when you modded it, why didn't you install priiloader and enable the block update hacks....?

i guess that's beside the point now though; you might as well plan on doing a full remod....with that update, you lost your needed cIOS and your brick protections....

follow either of the guides stickied here and you should be fine...(if your HBC survived the update, you can skip the first step requiring the game based exploit to install HBC)...

...best of luck to you.

Ok I have a 4.3 usa wii.. Have Batman...Have files from Email...followed step by step, when I go to the last character, I get the following errors
SD card not present? (-1056964576)
SD card not found (-1056964576)
USBGecko not found
No code found to load, hanging.

I have a 4gb sdhc card....Is this the problem? I seen that in the needed items it says" non sdhc preferred" this is why I ask. I have used this before ( about 3 months ago with no issues) not sure if I had a reg or a sdhc card then .

Also something I found odd at the top of this error report it says "savezelda v1.7-g1042d5c-dirty"

The zelda part is odd to me....
