Hacking neek2o

[ocihc80]

Do you have bootmii IOS?

Yes, I have bootmii IOS...

Question:
I was trying to reformat my 2gb SD card, and when I followed this: http://sites.google....iring-sd-or-usb

I noticed that my old format is FAT(16), cluster:32kb (This work with my old SNEEK+DI). But the guide told to do FAT32, cluster 32kb then when I checked EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition FAT32 the only max cluster available is 16kb? Any advice on this, maybe one of the reason why I am encouring problems? Thanks!

Hello Guys,

I tried to reformat my SD card and it is now FAT32, cluster: 16Kb (32Kb is giving error. Before I used to have FAT16, cluster:32Kb but working with my old SNEEK+DI)... To summarize, I put all my files in this order:

SD:/bootmii (Original)
SD:/bootmii/armboot
SD:/bootmii/ppcboot.elf
SD:/bootmii/bootmii.ini
SD:/ bootmiineek
SD:/bootmiineek/armboot
SD:/sneek
SD:/sneek/kernel
SD:/sneek/font
SD:/sneek/di
SD:/nands
SD:/nands/nand1/manyotherfiles
SD:nands/oldnand/many other files (This is my old working SNEEK+DI nands files)

USB:/games/gameID/mayotherfiles (FST format. This is working with my old SNEEK+DI )
USB:/wbfs/gameID/gameID.wbfs
USB:/sneek/diconfig.bin (This is build on my old sneek+DI)

What I was trying to do is just update my old Sneek+DI from last year (I did not updated anything else since then). Now, I used Modmii to up date and chose the options S & 3 then followed the prompts... So I just copied the files COPY_TO_SD created by Modmii and merge all except for the nands (I do NOT have nand folder before and my old nand files were in my SD ROOT).

I tried many times between 5-8mins waiting time and the result is black screen of sadness, by the way I was launching it to Bootmii (IOS) and also tried the nswitch channel but failed too (After using it I was prompted back to the original wii menu).

Also, I tried putting the new created nand files (Eg. import, meta, shared1 etc...) to my SD root but got the same result. Basically before trying a new setup I am removing all my sd files and starting fresh since have the back up files.

additional info:
wii version: 3.2U
HBC version: 1.0.8
IOS61 v21.29


Please help me more to nail this issue. Thank you very much....

sorry i posted that from my phone and had to go in a hurry last night! i did not fill in my reply.

idk if that was solved, but it seems like you are using SNEEK+DI to use USB loading. You've got to use UNEEK to get USB loading. Just my observation.

Thanks for your reply but this is not about UNEEK...

This is still unresolve, please help me with this devs. Thanks...

im not sure if neek2o works with having your nand on your sd. neek2o was optimized as uneek mod rather than a sneek mod. try to put your nand files on your usb drive.

Are you getting any response from the Wii, such as drive light blinking? I should have some free time tonight and I'll see if I can get neek2o working on my SD card

Sneek di cannot see games on usb

Sneek di cannot see games on usb

uhm not really, SNEEK+DI loads games from USB just as UNEEK+DI does.
The difference between SNEEK and UNEEK is just where the NAND is located, either SD or USB.

 

[kylster]

I have a question does neek2o support SDHC cards? other then SanDisk 4GB cards LoL

Are you really sure about that? I thought *neek+DI loads games from nand.

The neek part does, the DI part loads Wii games from USB

 

[SanGor]

by NAND I mean everything which is on the NAND, WiiWare/VC/System menu/Savefiles/other content and by games I mean disc based wii games.

If by games you mean WiiWare then of course SNEEK won't see any that are on the USBDevice since it runs the NAND from SD.

I just tested the procedure you are using. I had modmii update to it's latest version and created a sneek + di, including a 4.3E nand.
I have a game in my games folder and several in my wbfs folder.It simply boots into a black screen.
I'll try to figure out what goes wrong, hopefully this evening.

I also had this similar problem couple days ago and I solved it by using SneekInstaller
(it should be available under your ModMii\temp\SneekInstaller if you had ever used ModMii to install
Sneek or Uneek) to install sneek+di (or uneek or uneek_di ....) files again. Then I was no problem to
use neek2o channel to boot sneek+di or uneek+di.

If I will try UNEEK+DI, what should I do to my old SNEEK+DI nands,bootmii, and sneek folder? I am afraid that it will conflict more, if I mix it with UNEEK+DI.

Hi airline38,

I would like to try what you did but wondering how? I found the sneekinstaller but after opening it I do not know what to do. can you please help me (Should I just choose SNEEK+DI and click install SNEEK or???)? Please advice.

If you want to move to UNEEK+DI with neek2o, simply move/copy your nands folder from sd to usb, rename or delete the bootmii and sneek folders and then build the sneek installation with uneek+di from ModMii and put those folders on your usb and sd. That should do it and you can boot it using the nswitch homebrew app/channel or bootmii, after renaming the folder. I tried using neek2o as a replacement for sneek and got the same problem as you. I even tried it without di and using the version I compiled from source without any luck.

If you want to try airline's method, tell the installer the SNEEK and IOS files are in the modmii\temp directory, enter the drive of your SD card, and select SNEEK+DI (or whatever you want to build) for sneek type and hit install SNEEK. That will compile the elf files that ModMii downloaded into the bin files needed on your SD/USB device. This is the exact same thing ModMii does to setup NEEK, so I'm not sure how you would get any different results than you're getting now.

 

[airline38]

@ochic80, also you can try to delete diconfig.bin and channelcache.bin if you found
these files under \sneek (or \sneekcache).

Free tip..

For ppl who are trying the region hack in neek2o r64, don't use priiloader or the region hack won't work...
Or use priiloader and in priiloader turn on the region free EVERYTHING hack or the region free Wiij games hack.

 

[JavierE.Babiloni]

[obcd]

Have you changed anything to your setup, or did it just happen?

 

[JavierE.Babiloni]
