Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[hanjoon77]

Hi its me again

and I did everything said from the last post, and now Im at firmware 4.1U with cIOS and TBR all done. But, I have NeoGamma R6 and I get a disc read error 972 everytime. Im burning the discs on an hp laptop and Ive tried two discs: Maxell DVD R+ and Fujirama DVD R+ on two different speeds (2.4x and 4x) on Nero and ImgBurn. Nothing works :/ I heard a different type of dvd or burner might work. But when I put my original in, it works just fine. Any suggestions?

Why does my Eject button act as the Power button on my Wii? It doesn't eject the disc, just powers up my Wii. How come?
You have preloader installed and your Wii is in OFF (not standby)...!!

Hello,
I have a few questions.
I just successfully modded my wii and put an USB loader on my wii using this guide:
http://www.biline.ca/wii_softmod.htm

I got some games from my friend and 90% of the games did not load in the Backup loader.
I was wonder why that is so?

Also, is this method the most upto date?
If not, what is the most uptodate method to add a backup loader, USB loader, NGC backup loader and a homebrew channel?
Thank you!

Well I wont read a guide, but I believe you are using old tools, maybe try using other cIOS too, search around for the latest ones, Eg.

For Wii games on DVD use NeoGamma
For GC games use GC backup launcher 0.2
For USB loader, just find the latest one of the CFG Loader by Oggzee

I have a Wii with wiikey, 3.2E and ISO37. (I have the Homebrew channel installed) But planing on buying Grand Slam Tennis with Wii Motionplus but that game needs a FW update. Can I update without any risk? Or is it some software so that I can start the game through and still have 3.2E.

Ue WUFE to extract the update partition of the game and then use Wad Manager to install IOSes 38-53-55

Okay, this is probably the best place for me to ask this, so...
Is it safe to update my hardmodded wiikey 2 Wii which has homebrew channel and backup launcher installed (which makes it soft modded as well right?) from firmware 3.2U to 4.0U normally with the Nintendo Update?

Yep it is safe...!!

Thank you so much for answering! Finally someone to solve my problem.

Is there a way to do a patchmii install of DVDx offline? And how exactly do you use the advanced install option?

Once again, awesome. Ok does a PS1 emulator work with the wii? I am interested in running the re-release of Front Mission 1st for PS1 cause it has both story sides.

I was trying to know if the PSX emulator works on the Wii, but I was unable to get a PS1 .iso

so I really don't know, there is 2 versions of the emulator, you should try both and see wich one it is better...!!

excuse my lack knowledge on all things IOS!
just been checking to see what i have installed using "SIGNCHECK v0.3" and used "DOP-IOS v5" to check latest versions

the games are running from DVD using NEOGAMMA r6 and quite a few will not play (GREEN SCREEN)
discs have been TRUCHA signed, regionfrii and Wii video mode changer v1.0 by Waninkoko

is there something that i can do...???

Get complete .iso's not Scrubed, cause sometimes, that messes things up while trying to change video output, I had 2 games with that issue and they were both Scrubbed versions, you can't run them changing the video output, that is why the GSoD...!!

I really have never seen this error, ask WiiPower about it, maybe he knows what that means..!!

I believe the first version of the installer was only offline, but it works only for FW 3.3 or ealier, the advance option is to redirect the DVDx stub to another IOS

Just an update on my progress.

No matter what I tried, I could not get the Wii Shop channel working so I upgraded to Waninkoko's 4.0 and it worked fine (so did all my wads and wad installers etc). Just for the hell of it, I then downgraded back to 3.2E and the Wii Shop and all other channels still work fine which is awesome

If you're using DVD+R's then you need to set the booktype in your burning program to DVD-ROM I think. If you use a DVD-R it should work normally.

Could someone link me to a Guide on downgrading to 3.2

Thanks

Or you could just used WiiSCUv2, wich is a Wii Shop Channel Updater, and it installs the new WiiShop and the IOSes 60-61 (61 is the one for the WiiShop)

Nero makes this change automatically when you tell it to burn an .iso file.......well at least my Nero does it..!!

I need some clarification on installation of the BANNER BOMB hack, Bootmii, and Homebrew channel.
I have Wii 3.3U and was wondering after I installl Homebrew with BANNERBOMB, do I keep the installation files on my SD CARD?

How does Bootmii work? After I make a NAND backup, If brick my system and can't reach the wii system menu, how do I restore my NAND?

Hey everyone
I'm back from vacation

(or

)
So if I have missed something important, let me know

Use bannerbomb to run the hackmii installer. With it, you can install the Homebrew channel and Bootmii. Then you can delete the bannerbomb files of the SD card.
If the SD card contains a specific file, the wii will boot into the Bootmii menu instead of the system menu. So you can restore the backup then

Yeah but it didn't work, strangely.

 

[BORTZ]

ok what emulator were you trying 2 use?

 

[Gamelon]

I have cIOS36rev7 installed on my wii, and I would like to know if it is safe to update to 4.1 via the System Menu without doing harm. Is it safe? I would like to know as soon as possible.

 

[KennyBania]

A couple of new questions

1. I am about to buy a bigger SD card for emu's etc but I am using 3.2E, does this mean I can't use SDHC?

2. Also, on 3.2E, can I store and run WiiWare channels from an SD card? If so, do they still show up in the Channel list when the wii starts or only once the card is loaded?

Thanks again

 

[bt12345]

I have successfully installed homebrew 1.0.3 with Banner Bomb.
But I still have questions about Bootmii!

If I chose the option prepare SD card,
1. Is this also known as the NAND backup? And protects me from bricking my system?
2. After I prepare my SD card, can I transfer those files onto a computer and save them for later use (NAND RESTORE?) ?
or Do I have to use a separate SD card for homebrew apps?

 

[boomtisk]

OK, this may have been asked before but what's the easiest/safest version to upgrade from 4.0E to 4.1E without compromising the hacks I've installed? I have a custom CIOS or two (to re-enable installing WADs) installed but don't really remember exactly what they're called. :/

HBC will accept SDHC, the wii menu won't. Update to 4.x if you want that.

2. Also, on 3.2E, can I store and run WiiWare channels from an SD card? If so, do they still show up in the Channel list when the wii starts or only once the card is loaded?Only 4.x can load VC/WW from SD. It has its own menu for loading them. They do not show in the wii menu.

Thanks again

If I chose the option prepare SD card,
1. Is this also known as the NAND backup? And protects me from bricking my system? Preparing the SD has nothing to do with nand backup. It are the files that bootmii needs to boot into its menu. If you rename the bootmii folder or remove it, bootmii will not load.
2. After I prepare my SD card, can I transfer those files onto a computer and save them for later use (NAND RESTORE?) ? If you do not want bootmii to show up, you can move or rename the folder. To get a NAND backup, you need to choose the create NAND backup option in the bootmii menu.
or Do I have to use a separate SD card for homebrew apps? Not needed

Use waninkokos updater. But I think updating through the settings is safe as well.

Thanks a lot, I'm gonna try your first suggestion first because the last update (4.0) made me feel a bit paranoid due to the couple of things it broke.

First of all: Hi everbody from GBATemp, this forum rocks! everything about nintendo consoles/games is here.

Now i have some few questions, if anyone can help me it will be great...

My intention is to run wii backup games (on dvd)...

I've made some steps, first i've updated my wii system menu (4.1u) through wii internet connection.

Then i run the Bannerbomb exploit (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Bannerbomb) to install the BootMii (http://bootmii.org/) running as boot.elf.
I've installed first the Homebrew Channel (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel) then the DVDx and last the BootMii/IOS.

Ok here is the first problem, i don't have a gamecube pad to navigate in the BootMii menu, looks like it's a bug using the the BootMii/IOS (http://bugs.hackmii.com/index.php?do=details&task_id=72).

Like i said before my intention is to run game backup's (on dvd), so i've tryed to install the Custom IOS38 rev 13b (http://www.teknoconsolas.es/blogs/waninkoko) first i run the Bannerbomb exploit but this time using this file as boot.dol, i've installed using the network installation, and it say's the installation is ok but i'm still not able to play backup games on dvd, anyone can help me?!

Quick update:
When i was installing Custom IOS38 rev 13b i got an "install error (ret = -2011)" does anyone can help me?

 

[ether2802]

Use TBR (trucha bug restorer) to downgrade IOS35 and then run the installer again...!!
