i have a quiestion, how do people have that thing on their startup screen (normally the health screen), that takes them to different things??? and if i do get a brick, how do i use preloader if i have a brick???
For that, we install Preloader along with another application.
We don't use Preloader, we install it. There's a guide somewhere by me.
QUOTE(curdstar @ Apr 9 2009, 07:32 AM) Hello folks! My first post on these boards so I guess it was always going to be in the NooB section!
Still, I suggest you to read and search because your questions are only a few pages back.
Having just installed the HBC by rolling back to 3.2e and installing Starfall, Back up launcher and cIOS36rev9 and with everything working fine(for the most part) I just have a few quick questions...
1) I see that there appears to be a safe way to upgrade to 4.0, but is it really worth it if like I say I have everything functioning properly? So far as I can tell it seems to be only worth it if I wanted the SD card features of 4.0 but is there a little more to it than that?
Yes everything works fine. Trucha will be blocked though.
2) When playing back up games, I have noticed some FMV/cut scenes don't run entirely smoothly. Is this just a side effect of back ups and single layer burning? I am burning my discs using kodak and Sony DVD-R at X2 using IMGburn.
Side effect of backups. This question has been asked many many times before. Due to the fact that the Wii reads DVD at 3x, FMV stutters.
3) Is the structure of the HBC/hacking of the Wii scene such that users that remain on 3.2e will never need to worry about not being able to play new releases? What I mean is, will the relevant cIOS updates and .wad files needed for certain titles always support every firmware?
Yes.
4) Occasionally, when playing my purchased PES2009 disc it crashes completely during the opening FMV sequence. I can hear the drive struggling but after a reset all seems to be fine. Again is this just a side affect of softmodding? Like I say after a reset all seems fine but I am just wondering.
Possibly, but I heard that PES needs something. But don't quote me on that.
5) Accessing the Shop Channel from 3.2e. I don't really need it, but I am just curious as to wither I can still access it and what I would need to do in order to do so? Internet Channel works fine from 3.2e.
Install the latest shop channel update along with IOS 61.
6) If I do get semi/fully bricked I have read starfall is useful to recover. Is there any specific settings I would need to install from the package besides the bottom three options. Should I get a version of Preloader that is compatible with 3.2e and can work alongside Starfall(is that even possible?)
We use Preloader, and chuck away Starfall. Starfall is pretty much outdated. And no, there aren't a release that can cope with Starfall.
7) With the Wii's internal memory being only 512mb, is there any real danger of overloading the thing if all I am doing is housing HBC/Wad manager/starfall/ backup launcher cIOS upgrades and game saves? Any app that could let me manage this kind of thing? Is any title deleter the way to go here?
If anything for installations, the Wii DOWNLOADS first. So if the space aren't enough, error will come out during the downloading process.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help and I must say all the information and help this site provides is top notch!
Then, if you appreciate GBATemp, do search and read. Most of your questions has been asked countless times.
