Hacking My softmodded Wii refuses to run certain applications from HBC

[Xbox360]

I'm not really sure where to start with this, but I shall try my best to explain, because I softmodded my Wii months ago.

I'll go with what I do have:
- PriiLoader and a modded, updated version that was released after are installed.
- There was another piece of software I installed prior to softmodding which helps circumvent any bricking.
- HBC is installed fine.
- WAD manager works too.
- I'm currently only using SoftChip to run backups as it's the only one that will work.
- There's also a WiiKey V.1 installed from way back when.
- I think I'm running cIOS 19; it has been a while as stated.

The problem is that some applications that are praised highly, like NeoGamma and CFG USB Loader, are not working at all. They hang on the startup, displaying the splash screens, but then they hang and the controller unsyncs; it's highly frustrating.

I've searched Google a few times over the past months and there's been handy bits of information and a few solutions using workarounds like the Trucha Bug Restorer, but nothing has ever worked for me. With a certain new release that has just come out, I really want this problem out of the way so I can enjoy a few games.

I'm here for the next few hours if anyone is willing to give me a hand.

At the moment I've only used SoftChip, as it is the only one that has worked for me, which runs disc based backups. Right now I've tried to install, or at least run CFG USB Loader but like NeoGamma (both from HBC and from an installed channel) it just crashes on startup and the controller turns off.

what u are trying to use are usb loaders, and those need something connected in the usb port to work, any way, they should not crash, there should be a timer waiting for u to connect you pen or hdd...

but try this, with the wii standing up, power button on the upper part and the ports looking your way, insert a usb pen or hdd on the usb port on the right (it as to be that one specifically) and then use one of those usb loader, it should ask u to format it, if it does it's cuz it works...

 

[Xbox360]

I tried your advice by plugging in the USB plug form the external HDD and the program still crashes, as does the remote.

Still, if this did work, it wouldn't explain why the likes of NeoGamma crash too. Thanks though, any other ideas?

 

[kimikal27]

just wild guessing but have u looked for stubs?

 

[Xbox360]

Stubs?

 

[kimikal27]

u can read about it and learn how to remove them in here: http://gbatemp.net/t171901-modify-any-wii-4-2-below

Was just reading about this in this guide haha: http://www.completesoftmodguide.tk/hacking-guide/trucha

Will give it a go.

 

[Xbox360]

Update: I used MMM (Multi-Mod Manager) to uninstall the stubbed IOSs but IOS 222, 223 and 249 caused errors when removing and therefore are still intact. Any help on this?

EDIT: NeoGamma and CFG USB Loader are still crashing.

 

[kimikal27]

what errors???

any way, u should update your ios just to make sure

 

[Xbox360]

Right, here's the steps that I've taken to resolve this using various pieces of information from the internet:

- Installed IOS36 (r3351) w/FakeSign using DOP-MII
- Tried to install Waninkoko's cIOS 38r17 to IOS249 from a network install, crashed before it could start.
- Installed it to IOS36 and it returned "INSTALL ERROR! (ret = -1035)" when installing the custom IOS.

 

[kimikal27]

use latest wad manager version that is 1.7
and install latest ciosx that is rev19

 

[Xbox360]

Same thing happened again. All the patches and such worked but when it comes to installing the Custom IOS it returns "INSTALL ERROR! (ret = -1035)".

This is very frustrating, but I've come to far haha.

 

[KiiWii]

try not using network install.

 

[Xbox360]

try not using network install.

Still the same error when I use WADs :/

 

[chillta]

not sure if i recall this correctly, but isn't -1035 = bad ios/ no trucha?

Afaik, it means you are trying to install something while a higher version of it is already installed.

 

[kimikal27]

yup, thats why im telling him to get the latest versions...

I gave up and installed DARKCORPS or whatever it is called and it fixed everything for me, which I'm pretty amazed by.

Unfortunately when I go to play Mario Galaxy 2 from the dashboard it says I have to update my system. Any way around this? I know that 4.3E is safe now, well, as far as I know, but I don't want to have to go through any more hassle.
