Well thats the question I have, do anyone know if the new wiis, you know if I go now and buy a new one, do they come with 4.0 or not yet??

Don't think so, it's too early.
It will probably we 3.1 or even better, 3.2.

Speaking as someone who got their Wii only a couple of months ago I'd guess 3.3 or 3.4 as mine had 3.3 on it. Unless you get your Wii from somewhere which has got really old stock I doubt you're likely to get lower than that

I got my Wii in October last year, got it with 3.1.

I found 00000042.app but when I try to press + it says error writing file.

see above

mine's even older
I got it like a month after the wii came out in Europe

Anyway, a new wii will most likely have 3.4 or 4.0 (3.3v3 with a small chance)

Hey Folks.

Ive just used the Softmii package to hack my Wii, and it all installed ok. (i dont know if i cant play backups or not yet as i haven't tested it, but i would assume that as everything went ok that it should)

Ive installed the USB loader as well which is a bit nifty!
Anyway i was wondering:

What are the 'Must-Have' Apps/hacks and anyones that i may find useful?
(as i said i have installed the softmii package and the USB loader, that's it)

Thanks in advance guys

No, you misunderstood me
IOS36 is installed on the place of IOS249 so they are basically the same
(OK, there are some differences, but that doesn't matter now)
If your not going to use the USB loader, install cIOS36rev8 else choose IOS36rev9

cIOSCorp and Softmii can be found on the Softmii site http://softmii.org (under downloads)
Softmii is basically a package with a guide and all software needed for it
It includes cIOSCorp (disc channel backups), preloder (brick protection,...) and backups (both gc and wii).
I think the latest version includes the USB loader too

An alternative for Softmii is Miiwii (made by D-Jay) and can be found on this site (even this board). I didn't install it, but it seems to be easier to understand and too install. BUT I has less features and doesn't contain all the files as it is hosted on this site.

thats one other thing i dont get, you said either go for cIOS36r8 or IOS36r9 but not cIOS36r9 and ive seen that quite a few other places aswell. wouldnt it always have a c on the front as its a custom version not made by nintendo?

EDIT: ive now also just seen CIOS249 and CIOS36 in the softmii package

Is it possible to install and run USB game channels on the SD Card?

 

[MightyMouse]

not as of yet Enigna, but i think the source code be modified to load from the SD, however the SD would need to be formatted to WBFS aswell so you would'nt be able to do anything with it aside from store games.

Is ok to use the auto update feature in Preloader 0.28?

I would like try out the USB loader, it appears I need rev9 to go with that.

In what order (if any) should I:

Install preloader 0.29 (use auto update method?)
Install Rev9
Set up USB loader

Do I need to remove any old stuff before installing this new or will it overwrite what it has to?

hi i just downloaded the GC Backup loader 0.2, but i have no idea what to do with it, as it is not a dol file so i cant run it through homebrew, btw its a .file2 file

 

[Fowlerla]

I have a question about the backup launcher.

I just downloaded Guitar Hero Metallica the other day, burned it onto a DVD-R using ImgBurn and tried to load it with gamma loader 0.3.

The game starts up and continues until the very first loading screen, after the wii controller warning. It loads nearly all the way and then stops and gives this warning: "The Game Disc could not be read. Refer to the Wii operations manual for details".

Since then I have downloaded several different versions of the game and tried burning each version multiple times, but I still get the same error. I've also tried loading with softchip and gamma with the 002 fix. I also tried installing cIOS rev7, and IOS 38, 53, 55, none fixed the problem.

I'm running Wii 3.2U
cIOS rev9
Gamma Loader 0.3 with 002 fix (both the .dol and wad version)

Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution for me? I appreciate any help

Are there anything I can't do after I did the 4.0 update hack? I followed the instructions here
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144835

So far everything works well but I haven't really tried any of my homebrew stuff. Would I be able to run Starfall again? I'm afraid of running it and then bricking my wii...

EDIT: Oh ****... Looks like WAD Manager stopped working...

 

[EnigmaXtreme]

Im backing up some of my saves onto an SD Card and one of them is Twilight princess, however I can't as I still ahve the Twilight Hack on it, is their any reason why I would still need the TH on my SD card

 

[o4mills]

and you used a video, which one?

i used the video from youtube Solution to Black and white screen on wii (using Any Region Changer)

thats all i could find

I have a question about the WAD Manager and Wii in general:
What happens if you accidentally install more wads than you have space for?

Earlier I was doing some installing and then when I went back to the system menu it said I was out of space and jumped right to the data management menu. I went to move some channels to my SD card and the first one was ~300 blocks but after moving it I still had 0 blocks free. The second one was ~150 blocks and when it was done I had ~124 free blocks or so. It seems like my installs were all fine.Ive never had the issue come up before and it perplexed me enough to inquire about it since I thought the install would simply not work if I didn't have enough blocks so I just kept installing for a while before going to the system.

So I'm basically asking:
Does the Wii have an extra space that the wads get installed to when you run out of blocks?

Bumping my question from a few pages back.

 

[EnigmaXtreme]

Is their any possibility that USB game channels can cause a banner brick? Just curious

No you don't have some extra space, that's why the Wii took you to uninstall something to release some space and the main menu could work again as normal...!!

Yes, if they are unproperly packed

If you have preloader......then NO...!!
