Yes, just install the wad of your chosen System Menu and remove all the remaining files with this program.

Thanks, works great.
Quick question, though. What exactly is DVDX 3.4's "gift"?

can someone tell me what a wad of your chosen system menu means please? im not too sure and i cant find any information on it. also if i can download on where a place to dl it might be . thank you.

if u're 3.2U search for systemmenuv289.wad if u're 4.0U search for systemmenuv417.wad.. (please double check cause i may be wrong and wrong system menu version and region will brick your wii)
Also, u can get the package in "ULTIMATE system menu 4.0 guide" somewhere in this forum. It has a program inside that will download the systemmenu u choose automatically from he update servers.

Great Job!


Why would people want to remove preloader though?
Cos you don't need it if you've got Bootmii?
although 2 protections are better than one! (unless you're on about condoms of course...)

aside from that crude joke, if bootmii is installed as an IOS you need preloader to boot the HBC to boot bootmii. because IOS bootmii can only be loaded via HBC.

But if you're like me and have it installed as boot2, then why bother with preloader if you don't need the patches?

and why don't you need the patches? does bootmii give you the patches or something? i use bootmiii to backup/restore nand, and preloader to skip update & region free channel. best of both worlds.

Not to mention it seems like a waste of time to restore with bootmii when you get a Banner brick.

Preloader is very useful for banner bricks - Preloader ->HBC->Wad Manager->Remove the defective wad. Otherwise you're stuck restoring all 528MB of NAND just to remove a wad with malformed banners.

(Yeah, i know you can run HBC from bootmii, but the wiimote supposedly doesn't work, so you need a GC Controller, and GC controller enabled Wad manager. Too much of a hassle when preloader works with wiimotes.)

You can cycle with power and reset buttons.....

You can do that with bootmii. Bootmii -> HBC -> Wad Manager->Remove the defective wad

Can you run the HBC? If so, reinstall a System Menu and its IOS. (Be sure you install the IOS first, though!)

1) Er...I suggest you read this thread again.
2) Yeah, you can have both if you really want to.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
