Hacking Newbie Problems

[Lazy-buntu]

I've got a few questions/problems I need help with. I'll start with the easy ones.

I've installed the Twilight Hack and Homebrew Channel successfully, but I'm clueless on a few things:

1. Can I upgrade my Wii Firmware with these hacks installed? Like I'm on 3.3U and it wants me to upgrade to 3.4U
2. Can I uninstall the homebrew channel/twilight hack without any problems? If so, how?
3. If I can't upgrade my firmware how can I access the Wii shop so I can spend my Wii Points card?

Next set of problems:

4. How do I install gamma backup loader v.03? I can't find it in the homebrew channel.
5. When I extract a scrubbed game it will be ready to burn to DVD, correct?


I know there must be a ton of these types of posts, but I can't find any straight answers as of late.

Thanks ahead of time!

I've got the scrubbed game thing figured out. Is the homebrew channel not a WAD manager? Maybe I'm confused on what a WAD is. Could you explain that in a little more detail please? Do you just throw them in the root part of the SD card and run them?

Thanks for the reply

 

[riddle43]

the wad manager is a program you can get a dol for your apps folder on the sd its it the downloads wad manager 1.3 is what i use

ps wad files are channels and such so they are stored in you system mem have a good one

go here put the folder in your apps folder on your sd card

[Lazy-buntu]

so make a wad folder in the root of my memory stick, then put that folder in the apps folder?

 

[Lazy-buntu]

Like say I've got WAD-Manager_v1.3.dol and Backup Channel Gamma 002fix.wad.

Where do I put each/how do I install it on the Wii?

 

[riddle43]

no in you sd card the homebrew channel made one for you if not in the root make a folder called apps then take the wad manager folder put it in apps then load hbc and find your folder called wad manger also make a folder called wad in the root and put the wads you want to load in there becarefull let me know whats up ill be watching

 

[Lazy-buntu]

Okay thanks for being patient with me. I just don't want to brick my family's Wii on Christmas lol.

So one last time:

1. Go into the Apps folder.
2. Create WAD Manager 1.3 folder
3. Paste WAD-Manager_v1.3.dol in that folder
4. Create a folder "wad" in the root of the memory card
5. Put gamma wad in the wad folder
6. Put card in Wii...install wad manager first then gamma?


Also, where can I find an updated Wii shop fix?

 

[riddle43]

sounds like your on your way to some homebrew wii gameing pm me if any probs ok

and dont be afraed to ask for help that what this is for so good luck and happy festivus

 

[Lazy-buntu]

All right. WAD Manager is working. I put Backup Loader Gamma inside the wad folder, and it shows up under the channels of my Wii.

I go to play my Mario Kart Wii game I already have backed up to DVD and I get a message: "DVD read error (349) no cIOS"

What does this mean?

 

[riddle43]

how did you burn it

 

[Lazy-buntu]

Burned the iso in imgburn.

What is cIOS?

 

[riddle43]

you need ios 249 if im right fallow this guide and it will help
this is the tut i used for my shop channel and others

Tried Face Breaker KO and that came up with the same error.

Should I use: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CIOS_Patchmii_Installer

Oh before I forget: my family plays Animal Crossing: City Folk (not backed up yet--the original disc)

figured i'd mention that because your link says "IOS38-64-v3609: IOS38 is needed for minor issues at the moment but it might increase in the futur for now it is needed to run Animal Crossing game and you can install it via (1-Wad Manager V1.3) from the HBC"

 

[riddle43]

look in your pm box and youll be able to play all your real games still after you fallow the guide

 

[Lazy-buntu]

Sent you a reply because I'm not sure which sections I need to follow. Downgrading, WiiShop, etc.

Burned the iso in imgburn.

What is cIOS?

You need the cIOS installer!

I'll link you to it.(NOTE TO MODS: This is the Installer, no a .wad file of the cIOS)

Put the folder like the WAD Manager.
I think you need Wi-Fi.

 

[Lazy-buntu]

Thanks Ill try that.

That one? Your Shop Channel doesn't work? Try that, it's the updater for 3.3v3 but without blocking anything.
