I just installed the Firmware 4.0 and all of the mods, etc. but haven't looked into USB Iso Loader until now...

I want to install this one: USB Loader GX V 1.0 from http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149922&st=3885

How do I add the channel Forwarder?

Hello,

Total noooooob here.

I have the Backup Loader channel, and i also have starfall installed. What do i need to run backups ? I've heard something about Gamma, is this the same as the Backup Loader? Do i need to install something additional ?

Thanks in advance.

2 Questions

1) I am on 3.2U firmware with D2CKey. Can i installed *ANY* USB LOADERS out there now?

2) I am not sure what cIOS i have. But i know most of the USB LOADERS need cIOS rev9. I did installed Wiigator Gamma loader 0.3 so i know i have installed some cIOS before but i do not know what version. So the question is do i need to delete previous before installing the new one?

Thanks

You should be able to successfully run all of the usbloaders. A new cios will overwrite the old one.

My launch day Wii (with Wiikey) was destroyed by an angry girlfriend.

If I buy a brand new Wii, is there anything I can do with it? Modchip, softmod, anything?

I miss my Wiikey and 3.2

the new flatcable chips should work for sure, don't know about the drivechip ones. the new wii may have that epoxy on the chips.

Scrubbed means that the so-called garbage data has been removed and replaced by something easier to compress. The full ISO will still be the same size, but if you zip/rar it, it will be smaller compared to a nonscrubbed zipped iso.
decrypted was for the first version of the loader. it needed games to be in decrypted form.

You either buy it or download it as a WAD. Then install it as any normal WAD, through WAD Manager.

PS: Kedest, try to answer everything in just one post next time.

you can't uninstall the installer, but you can install the original MIOS and it will overwrite the cMIOS

Will Starfall prevent any and all disk updates, including updates on disks that may be released in the future?

I just don't want to brick my wii, I assume once you have starfall installed the only way you can brick you wii is with a bad wad. I assume any future games that require system updates simply won't work with gamma and starfall installed, however starfall will at the least prevent the update from bricking your wii.

I am new to Wii hacking and have recently purchased a Flatmii. I was wondering what things I should install if I mainly wanted to play backups. I have no interest in installing Homebrew games or emulators. My Wii is running 4.0 without preloader or anything. After installing the Flatmii is there anything else I really should install?

If you run games through the BL, updates will be skipped.
If you run through disc channel however, updates will launch if you don't have starfall. Thats why you need it
Future games wiil work through BL, and through Disc channel if the correct IOS is installed.
The are some more ways to brick your wii, like by deleting ( c)IOS

A good (even better) alternative for starfall is preloader, but if you only need simple hacks (like block updates), your fine with starfall
note: both starfall and preloader only work on 3.2 (preloader also on 4.0)

It will block all disc updates. If a game needs a certain IOS, you can just install that manually.

The Wii part of Flatmii is just the hardware, there's no software to install.

Ah ok so theres no chance of bricking or anything so I don't need to install any programs that help with that.

But the Wii Backup Compatibility List is saying that the games need to be decrypted to work with Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma which is the latest version of the loader,or am i reading it wrong??...thanks

If you don't plan on running any homebrew and just stick to playing backup games via your flatmii, there's no big chance of bricking. But I don't know how flatmii handles updates in isos. If it just skips them, it's ok. If it doesn't, make sure you only install updates from your own region.

I can"t access the wiki (stupid DNS errors), but games do not need to be decrypted when there is 'YES' in the '1:1' row
