All the more reason to mention it, isn't it?
For example in the "after modding" part.
"If you have a very new Wii and it fails to run backups from DVD, you may have a drive with the new D3-2 chipset. For now, you're going to have to use a USB loader.
happy?
sorry you had a d2-3 drive btw.

Thankfully it wasn't mine and the friend who uses it prefers USB anyways. But thanks for adding it, it may help others.
I'm wondering why this chipset isn't a bigger issue by now, I recon all new Wii's will be affected (his didn't come from service)

Hey could I run ISO's from my SDHC, its a 32gb I surely want to give some use for it
I copied all the files from the SD card where I installed everything for the wii to that SDHC card and it works fine in the wii... I just wonder if its possible since i see it inside NeoGamma *SDHC WBFS (I tried googling partitioning SD cards but I couldn't make it work... any ideas?

Just an idea to save my self from bad burnings on to DVDs from bad game ISO's

I hope you do not simply copy the ISO. Format the SD with WBFS and Inset the ISO with it.
Must work.

Won't that (Formatting the SD with WBFS) erase all the Apps (roms, homebrew applications, etc...) DATA inside the SD card?

I know this has probably been answered a thousand times but lets say if a 4.3 Software Update comes out.. Is it safe to update or must you do it another way..

Ive read up that you must use a preloader or something to update...


Im unsure..


Btw I used your guide. Worked great..

3] Run Dop-IOS MOD
Choose IOS249 and press A.
* if it asking to install IOS36, then press B to go back to the IOS selection screen.
Press right until you see IOS60.
Press - to select then press yes to install and Sig Hash Check.
Press right until you see IOS61.
Press A to select then press yes to install and no for Sig Hash Check.
Press home to return to HBC.

i couldnt see ios 249 listed so i just selected ios 60 ,but i messed it up i never noticed the (-) at this section, i pressed A twice and then did the ios 61 bit now in the next section i dont get ios 249 listed what can i do ????>

4] Run Wad Manager [this step can be skipped if already on 4.1]
When it opens choose use IOS249. (it is probably already set to that)
Press A to leave NAND emulator disabled
Press A to open from SD slot.
Install System Menu-NUS-v449.wad [System Menu-NUS-v450.wad for pal users; System Menu-NUS-v448.wad for ntsc-j users] and exit.

Jepp. Therefor use another SD and have the loader installed as a channel. Otherwise there is no way. Or use a USB-Stick.
But why don't you do it like me and many others??? USE USB HARDDRIVE. Fast, big, cheap...........

I used this guide last week on a 4.2 system, and there was a "Run Dop-IOS MOD" step which is now not there? Why was it removed? Why I'm asking is because my system hangs on step 4b while it says "Initializing Network".... what should I do?

simple I don't have an extra hard drive or usb flash drive =P

But I do have an extra SDHC card 15gb, that is where I installed originally all the homebrew before passing it to the 32gb card, yes I do have the *Extra channel of NeoGamma R7... so yeah thanks for mentioning to just use an extra sd card only formatted to WBFS.

Do you have a simple tutorial to do the USB loader thing, I haven't installed anything related to it... so that when I manage to get an extra hard drive I shall have everything already set up in my wii for it? Or as of having already Neogamma R7 it already boots the USB devices ?

Thnx - Tested a game in the sd card with WBFS it worked

Other wiimote also doesn't work..

do the steps over, read em slowly, you obviously messed up somewhere.

its not really a big deal now with USB loaders.

you can backup man, its that hard to use logic.
and some partitioning programs dont erase your files

who knows, most likely it will be another attempt from N to rid of homebrew.
so wii's will be unhackable for like a day or something.

No problem.
I am using WIIFlow for USB-Loading. i think it is a pretty good programm. Using a USB drive is nothing else like a SD Card.
Use WBFS Manager to get the drive ready and very important USE THE LEFT USB PORT on the WII.
Have fun............
