Merry Chriistmas to All. Quick question: Got the xzxero links. Which one do I use NTSC-J or NTSC?

NTSC as NTSC-J is for Jap consoles

A bit of trouble here, I was on 3.2 and I performed the 'Update To 4.2' section fine, following every single bit and had no problems with anything. However, in the 'Modify 4.2' section, when I am trying to launch the bannerbomb in the same way I did in the first section the Wii hangs as soon as I choose SD Card.

Any idea what I should be doing or do I need to repeat this bit given that installing the Homebrew Channel, DVDX and Bootmii as IOS & boot2 went fine via the bannerbomb in the first section?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT - I realised I made a mistake and deleted the entire SD Card following section one instead of just what was in Update.zip. I doubt I'm the only person to have done this though. As such, is there any way to get the required file(s) back? Can the process from the first section be run again?

No worries, managed to sort it.

hi all need your help...

here's the story... i got a jap wii that was semi bricked...
what i did was follow the steps indicated here...
after that it worked fine but since my language is set to JAP i followed the link below:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=170971&st=0

I was sucessful to put it in 3.2U instead of 3.2J... I setup my connection and did an update to 4.2... while it's downloading I realized to just use offline installer indicated here as well... However I think my wii made an auto update coz now it's on 4.2U...

Tried to downgrade following the steps here but once I am on WAD Manager 1.5 and accept IOS249 my wii remote is losing connection and I need to manually switch off my wii...

Is there a way I can go back to 4.1?

Right now none of my backup discs are working and bootmii screen is no longer there when I boot... Right now, I am afraid to proceed because I may brick my wii...

Please help guys!

Thanks
Geckoquiver

seems like after all the steps everything works, i can back up and play games, but the old back ups from PC don't play at all, any suggestions as to what i need to do to make sure all back ups plays??? should i try to convert HD to FAT32 instead of WBFS, is there any real benefits to that?

One question though how can I retain the capabilty to play games from backup dvds and making it region free like i used to have at 3.2fw... I remembered selecting those options when I followed http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=170971&st=0

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm having a minor problem. My wii firmware was originally 3.3/
I got it up to 4.2 and got everything working properly. Only problem is when I go into the data management to sort the channels on my sd card, it freezes instantly.
I've tried several times and it always freezes there.. Any ideas??

 

[abhik]

can anyone tell me how can i play online with version 3.2 without updating it. or it is compulsory to update to 4.2 version in order to connect to online becaz to connect to online the wii first tests the internet connection and then says that i need to update.. so if i can play online and connect to internet on 3.2u so plzzz tell me how can i play online on 3.2u version.... plzzz helpp

You need to load the sd card from the sd card icon at the system menu.

I emailed the email address and no response. I'm wondering if anyone knows a trustworthy page or has the files to email.

You specifically say: "Follow this if your not on 4.2 yet" ... what if the Wii is already on 4.2 and is completely virgin? Do we skip these steps and continue onto the next stage? Or do we follow these steps to install a "modded" 4.2?

Thanks in advance. And I noticed your notes about smoking many bowls... well keep on my friend and there will be much green in your future...

yes you can skip those steps if the wii is already on 4.2 out of the box, which is going to be super unlikely.
Read the steps slowly and clearly, everything works fine if you know how to read

keep it hesh man.

QUOTE(martinezgene @ Dec 17 2009, 12:00 AM) Is it safe to use Dop-IOS MOD v9 ? I followed your guide on many wii and it works great. I am going to do another wii and came across Dop-IOS MOD v9 and was wondering if it is better than dopios_v7 ?

yes its safe to use v9
but v10 is coming out soon.

thanks

3.2U is USA/NTSC so just use NTSC. Only use NTSC-J if your console menus are in japanese and you bought your wii from overseas.
