I hacked my Wii a long time ago with the LoZ exploit, and since then i've not done much with it. I'd like to get it up to speed with modern hacks and get cool stuff like Priiloader set up (not that i couldnt do that as it is, but i'd kinda just like to start over).

Is it safe to take my hacked wii with 3.2 (i think), update it to the official 4.2, then hack again following the current guide?

Make a update to 4.2 with modmii (also sticky), this will make everything for you.

Or you could just follow this guide and update to 4.2 with it...

They're just exit after a sec, i tried to read the last line and it was:

"Failed to get the stored TMD size for IOS35!"

and I've got a dump code with dop-mii 13...

thank you Erik you lead me to this.
I installed ios35 v3608 and this resolved my problem.
After that my channels/forwarders work well without install them again...

after using this guide I successfully hacked my wii! Thank you very much.

One question: after doing all this, which ios should i install new wads to using wad manager? I'm guessing ios236 but really I have no idea. And while we're on the subject, what difference does it make which ios is used?

some IOS dont have trucha or NAND permissions, so will fail a WAD install.
IOS236 is guaranteed to install any working WAD.

some cIOS may not work because of the base IOS they were created under.

to avoid confusion, stick to your patched IOS236.

ok so i've applied this guide to a wii of a friend of mine. He bought it in the US. Here he sent it to a shop which swapped the modchip he had in his old wii to his new one and they updated his Firmware from 3.2U to 4.2E. So i just followed the guide installed everthing exactly how it was stated. Well it just looks like it works fine well except I can't start games from the disc channel. I always get blackscreens. So what can I do ?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
