Thank you all once again for your help, the tutorials are great and easy to follow.
Too bad. You're gonna be missing out.

I know, but if my Wii breaks then I will really be missing out XD

Will Nintendo send replacements out? I don't think my Wii is under the factory warenty anymore and won't they know it was hacked? o.O

have 1 Q&A on the 2nd part of (Restoring the Trucha Bug) when you have load ios15 and press a how long do you have to wait till it says press 1 because it went to a screen and it says exception, stack dump, code dump. am i in the right screen i did everything like you said could you help thanks

Code dumps are no problem. Generally continuosly trying to do that step will make it work. I had to try 3 times before it finally worked for me. Just make sure you don't skip the step lol too many noobs skip steps and then complain that it doesnt work.

why don't they just make a universal hacks.ini for download from wiibrew for all regions and firmwares as it would stop all noobs asking for different versions of the hacks.ini
cuz crediar will delete it, ive tried before

QUOTE(tommitek @ Nov 24 2009, 11:18 AM) again, can i ask. what are the benefits of having 4.2 over 4.1?

do i need 4.2 to play some of the newer games or something?

if there is no benefit to it then perhaps its best if i go back to 4.1 so that preloader can enable region free wii games and region free channels

is there no way i can use preloader .29 on a 4.2 machine, thus enabling the hacks for region free i am after? or am i just starting to mash things up now?
just region free loading wii games from the disc channel using a modchip or cIOSCorp.

no as ive said before, 4.2 has no region free hacks, get it through your dome.
if you want it, downgrade to 4.1


so, again can i ask. is there any benefits to updating to 4.2 firmware. is it necessary to play newer games or something?????

Someone PLEASEEE

Don't worry. Just keep going.

P.S. You don't see the NAND emulator option just because your system has no IOS249 (or with IOS249 version lower than v14) yet.

Hi there,

I was trying to hack my wii through another guide (Deviyl's guide in this site), but I think it's not completely done there was some errors I managed to get rid of them but I think there is something still not complete yet, because ( I have a NTSC Wii US version ) when tried to put my friends PAL Wii Sports Disc in it won't play. I like to hack my Wii through this guide. And I have a question if anyone mind to answer, now my Wii is partly hacked, but can I start over again with this guide? or can I format my Wii and will it be virgin Wii again somehow ( maybe the "Format Wii System Memory" thing in the Wii Settings work? ) and if the formating doesn't work, should I start over from this guide's beginning will it make any difference?
Looking for quick answers,
Thanks in advance..

Heya guys,
I have done the tutorial for a friend's wii, the only step I didn't follow through was:


Then press A on install patched IOS36.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.

Run Trucha Bug Restorer
Choose IOS36 & press A.
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Then Choose restore IOS15.
Press A to restore.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.


I have restored the IOS 15 AFTER the:

Installing cIOS & Patching the System Menu IOS
Run WAD Manager 1.5
When it opens choose IOS36. (it is probably already set to that)
Press A to leave NAND emulator disabled.
Press A to open from SD slot.
Install IOS70-v6687.wad
Install IOS202-v4.wad
Install IOS222-v4.wad
Install IOS223-v4.wad
Install IOS249-v14.wad
Install IOS250-v65535.wad
Press home to exit.


The wii works fine, but it still doesn't read backups,
any idea what can be done? or is it one of the stubborn d3-2 ones?

btw I didn't install the preloader....

its possible . i also cant read backups at all , no matter how i burn then, u can check your drive here by putting ur serial on there then u know which one u have. Or, maybe u just have to burn with another speed , 2,4x , or use another type of discs
