Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[tengig]

@ infiniD

i did a little research for you and this seemed to be the common fix its untested by me maybe other members can prove or disprove this method but heres what i found

This is a conflict on your router's firewall (on by default) blocking the Internet ports (TCP/UDP) needed to support online gaming on Nintendo and games servers. You need to go your router config and do one of these two things:

1. Put your Wii's IP as DMZ server (De-Military Zone-turns off your firewall only for one IP).

Or,

2. Go to your firewall settings (I did this today for a neighbor with the same problem) and allow the port forwarding to your Wii's IP at the following ports:

TCP:
Allow traffic to Wii's IP on ports: TCP 28910, TCP 29900, TCP 29901, TCP 29920

UDP:
Allow all traffic to Wii's IP (Necessary for peer-to-peer connections and game play): UDP 0-65535


Whats Nintendo says about this error code:

Ensure you are using a broadband or high speed internet connection such as cable, DSL, or fiber optics. Slower connections, such as dial up, may cause issues with the Wii or may not work properly.

Ensure there is no interfering devices by shutting off microwaves, cordless phones, wireless keyboards, and wireless mice.

Disable your firewall settings, as it may be causing a connection problem.

Try changing the channel of your wireless router to either channel 1 or channel 11 which can increase download speeds. Be sure to test both channels to see which works better or faster.

If you are using a Netgear wireless router, disable the SPI firewall setting which is usually found under the WAN Settings of your wireless router.

If you are attempting to connect your Wii console online using the Nintendo Wireless (Wi-Fi) USB Connector and you receive this error.

To solve this error :

If your PC is using security features or programs such as a firewall, antivirus, or antispyware, check all settings of these security features or programs to allow a successful connection.

You may try adding the following programs to your firewall list of "Trusted" applications : Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector USB (NintendoWFCReg.exe), Setup.exe (when installing the USB Connector), SoftAPInstDrv.bin, mdriver.exe.

Temporarily disable your router's firewall which may allow the Wii console to connect online to recieve a system update. After, you may turn your firewall back on.QUOTE

You can never get a softmodded wii back to factory default no matter what you do, cause there will always be traces of what you did... That being said if you cant play games cause they are asking you to update then simply install Priiloader

and you can apply hacks to your wii like "Block Disc Updates" etc. very useful and will allow you to play your games.

Have you tried usb loading?

here is ninty web page of your issue. http://www.wiierrorcodes.com/wii-error-32004.php

So the thing i wanna do with my Wii, is to play imported games. I will not play any copied games on my Wii and do i have to install a custom ios to play a import Gamecube / Wii game? And if not do i have to launch a a program every time when i want to play a imported game.

Gecko os run's wii and gamecube games!
And it plays it region free

 

[kylster]

+1 to gecko os

however i'm not too educated on imported games, but assuming that the region free hacks for priiloader work i would imagine you get the same effect as gecko os w/o the need of a homebrew app. I could be wrong but it's not your going out of your way to see if the game loads by disc channel before grabbing a homebrew app.

I do know gecko os can play wii/gc games

Finally i got my new 1GB Kingston SD card and i just installed "w / bannerbomb" and i didn't install any Bootmiis to boot2 etc. so my should be still a virgin. H
ere's what i want to do, i want to apply the 4.1U or 4.2U to my Wii, but can i do all the things if my Wii is LU111. So i just dont want do all kind of things to my Wii if it doesn't work and it could brick my Wii.

So i wanna be sure of this and has anyone of you ever modded LU111 Wii?

Ignore your serial. It means nothing in softmodding.

Before you go any further, install bootmii and back up your nand. Then play with your system menu version.
But first and formost, install bootmii, backup your nand while the wii still works fine.

@Donkey Plonk Could you possibly link me to the guide or a video, maybe proof of concept; perhaps all? It's just everywhere I've read stated that it's impossible. Knowledge is power & if this is true which I will determine by the end result of my curiosity.

What are you referring to?

 

[bazamuffin]

Don't you use that crazy-ass app of Pune's? A quote from pune "formatting cleans the shit out of it", there are a few steps but it can be done. I recall seeing a thread on it somewhere, not sure if it was on here or another site

 

[kylster]

@XFlak Im curios , mostly cause i know 1 person who updated their wii and it just doesnt act right anymore so the answer to this question might be helpful.

I'm not aware you can completly remove all traces of softmods from a console. I'm curious as of how.

I have a seperate questions, i want to post pics in one of my own threads but i dont want to take up the whole forum how do i add the pic in [show] [hide] so people can choose to display it.

I've already researched the error code, and forwarded the ports needed and it was a no go. I've also tried turning on the no disc update hack and the game starts but never actually starts.

Is there a way to just remod the wii to the most up to date version and have it re softmodded properly?

 

[kylster]

@infiniD ModMii is your solution, just run the wizard and choose to rehack your wii as a virgin and it will download all required files including system menu IOS safe for accidential downgrading/updating of system menu. You will also need a Wad Manager but everything you could possible need is on that app and it put it into a very neatly organized folder called COPY_TO_SD or COPY_TO_USB depending on where you need to place the files. I would say on a 4.2u Wii it only takes 10-15 mins to start downloading everything from modmii, placing all files on SD card, and then loading up your wad manager and batch install everything. This would also depend on your internet connection.

@XFlak thanks for the info, looks interesting enough

Hi there, I'm having a problem with Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'm at Goron Mines (I just got an Wii system softmodded, loading backup discs through uLoader 5.1E using external DVD drive) and the game does not let me pass the door, with that moving wall. It doesn't shows the A button message to open the door. If I use the Plus button menu and try to save my progress, it gives a black screen.

Did anyone experienced this? I'm wondering if it is this game copy is messed up. But I'd like to hear some opinions first, before I'll try another game file.

 

[kylster]

I honestly cant help you much cause i never used hermes external dvd emulation. One option I may be able to suggest is for you to temp. transfer the file to your SD card seeing as it should be around 500MB or below very small game and should fit on a standard SD card

and play it using another USB loader. WiiFlow and CFG Loader are great choices.

If you do this grab a copy of WiiBackupManager off the forums here and transfer your .iso into .wbfs. That is different then the actual formatting to WBFS but this is a extension compatible with FAT32.

Copy wbfs/GAME [ID]/GAME.wbfs to root of SD and it should work. If not then it may be a bad copy. This shouldnt take much time maybe 20secs to convert that game to .wbfs extension then it's just about where to be lazy or not which i know some of us are at times LoL. Sorry but this is the only thing i could think of atm.

Thanks very much! I'll give this a shit when I have a few hours of free time

So can you use RGB cable on your US Wii? I'm from europe and my wii is actually a US import, and my Wii works with colors on my LCD TV, but when i used it with my old CRT Tv it's black&white.
So if i use a RGB calble on my Wii, then i can i get the colors on my old Pal CRT TV that supports the 60Hz mode. Or is there a way to put my Wii into a Pal-60 mode?

 

[MaxNuker]

i own a wii, gotta check the firmware version but its an old one... i wanted to know what i need to buy / use / whatever, to get my wii loading back ups and everything :b
