I used these steps and they are OK a lot of games are working just fine.
But I can't seem to play CoD Reflex it just gives 001 error. What should I do?
Edit: Got it working using Neogamma as a channel and the beta 15 version. Now NSMB doesn't work with either of em. Pal WII and Pal NSMB cios rev 17 and neogamma rc3
LE: Getting this with Tatsunoko vs Capcom -.- Anyone can help? I have an older modchip installed on the Wii but I don't know what it is I bought it this way hence I can't upgrade it. Is this the problem?

xzxero,

I'd hold out a bit as it looks like Wanin is already working on Rev20..

QUOTE
FAT module for rev20 has been completely rewritten. Now it's a 65% smaller and faster. The FFS plugin has been modified to work with it.

when alot more of the loaders and homebrews start supporting it, you can do a nice refresh and maybe add some of the new apps that are making real progress, YAWMM, DOP-Mii, etc..

the only other option for those who want to jump to the latest revs would be to start a new thread.
At the top of the thread you can state that this new thread directly follows this sticky guide, and then that starts the update to Hermes V5 and Rev19.

This is by far the best guide out there and works everytime (at least for me

) so if the new updates don't work for some readers I think you will have a lot of people begging you to put the old guide back up..

just my thoughts..

Hey guys, nice guide you got here. If followed the guide, and modded 5 Wii's.

I'm having a small problem with this one though. Can anyone help?

I can install and play Wiiware, but when I try and boot a game with Usbloader GX it just black screens.

Have I missed something? I cant for the life of me figure out what's happening.

Could be it the Hard drive is not compatible?


EDIT: Just answered my own question. It was the hard drive. Happy times, Thanks for the guide once again

No you need cIOS249 or the cIOSCORP installer won't run read the read me that comes with cIOSCORP it would tell you this

if it's a new wii then you've got a good chance of having one of the new drives which aren't able to play games from DVD-r so cIOSCORP will be useless

I'm stuck. Installing System Menu, and it says, "Installing content #136... ERROR! (ret = -1022)". Apparently this is an SD card issue, which I read in another post in this thread, but what am I supposed to do? Turn the Wii off and change the SD card? Change the SD card while Wad Manager is still running? I'd like to try not to kill this Wii...

Guys, I bought a new black wii with 4.2 and I follow the guide but when I want to go to the shop channel it asks to update the shop channel via system update?

Why is that? I'm on 4.2 already! Is there another update to the shop channel? or did something go wrong?

Hey y'all
rolleyes.gif

I was wondering if anyone could help me with burning games. I search the forums and i can't seem to find the right place.
The three games i have are mario party 8, wii sports resort, and new super mario bros wii.

I have dvd+r media and the brand is memorex.

I was wondering if I have to patch them or something in order for them to work.

I currently have Usb loader gx, and neogamma. I am not sure which version i have, but maybe someone can tell me which is the best
version to use.

thanks guys.

if ur playing wii sports resort for the first time on your wii, u have to launch it using the alt dol (player.dol) and watch the 3 minute video before u can actually start playing the game. Lower the volume, because the video screeches a lot, when its done it will exit the game (i think it returns u to the wii menu), afterwards switch the alt dol back to play the game.

good luck S3xii

i think usb loader are supposed to patch NSMB on the fly... but I'm not sure if it will patch it if its on a disc... why don't u try using neogamma (u can grab my autoboot mod of r8RC3* from my signature if u want) as I know for sure that it can patch NSMB off disk on the fly

edit: what exactly do u wanna know about scrubbing games? they can be played just the same as the an unscrubbed game, but it usually removes anything on the disk other than the game partition itself (ie. any update partitions are scrubbed away)

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her.

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
