Hacking Need to be up to date

[MegaSlime]

I haven't used my Wii in a long time. The last time I used it was for Punch Out in which I had to my Wii to 4.0U. Now, I am trying to get the New Super Mario Bros. Wii to work, but every time I tried to load it, I get a 002 error, which happened before when I tried to load Punch Out before updating to 4.0U.

I've been out of the Wii hacking loop and I was wondering what do I do to get myself back up to date to be able to play all the newest games?

Thanks in Advance.

USB Loaders are the way forward.

I heard something about USB Loader, so I should invest in an external hard drive?

yes definitely. usb loading is much faster compared to disc loading. plus if NSMB backup cannot be loaded on the disc channel unless you are hard modded. NSMB backups for soft modded wii could be loaded through usb loading only for now.

i run this game off neogamma r8 beta 7 cios249rev14 by using usb loading and disc loading...my wii is hard modded btw.

From what I heard, there are some reports that it does work on cIOS rev15.
Can't confirm it though, am also a USB-playa

Check the NSMB topic, first page.

Would any external hard drive work?

Also, How would newer retail game work?

 

[xzxero]

retail games will always work.

I found an external hard drive that isn't on the list, but will it work?

tthats way too much for a 500gb

Which ones are the recommended ones? I don't really want an external hard drive that needs to be plugged in with a power cable.

do know that the wii's usb ports don't put out regulation power. so usb powered drives will most likely not work unless you get the cable that has two usb connections. but then you're losing the other usb port to provide power.

wetern digitals are pretty cheap

 

[ziddey]

if you got a spare drive kicking around, just get a usb enclosure for it.

 

[WalkerOfTheDay]

I use this one, it works perfectly.

Not for everyone. Some people are using the same method and getting different results. Maybe to do with the drive type?

I power my 320gb usb fine with just the cable in the one usb slot, the other cable is just tucked round back out the way

Really? Damn, I guess I'd have to get the hard drive with a power cord.

Did you read my post right above yours?? Up to you mate, he said "most likely not work" whereas its working for me and many others.

I saw, but I guess I'd rather be on the safer side. Also, the 1TB hard drive posted by the other poster costs the same as the 500gb Toshiba I listed so I guess I'll get the 1TB one.
