But, I need it for... Something ...really.

I don't want to know how to edit banners etc... I already know that... (well... I have the tools and know how to work with it all

)

But that is not what I asked...

I asked for the Font of the text in HBC Banner:

I guess nobody here knows that. Well this thread is for noob questions which have been asked over 100 times and moved here not to annoy people. But you seem to know exactly what you want, and it really could be that nobody answered this before.

I would ask this at hackmii, as the people there have to know which font they used for the homebrew channel.

Well I had at hand the past version, so only two boxes but it is the same:

First Box: You need to tell where your SysMenu3.2 is, be sure to have the right region for you
Second Box: You need to tell where is the image you want as a Health Screen
Third Box: You need to tell where is the image you want as "PRESS A"

Yes, I see.
Thank you both!

Okay i figured, i ask here before i make a thread in the main forum.

Is there any way the laser could defect and not be able to read discs after a certain period of time? i ask this because, i discover this whole using the HBC and the twilight hack and the gamma loader back in December. I was excited, because I get to play original games ( games i bought with cash ) and able to try out games, that I wasn't' sure was worth the money, the best of both worlds. I install all the necessary ios's i think those are called, star fall to prevent from getting brick , and some fix so that my Nintendo channel and shop channel are working. I started burning games, using Verbatim DVD-R's and everything was alright. I was also able to play my original games, that i bought like GH:WT even up to January.

However, yesterday when my buddy came over, after playing a burned copy of RB2, we decide to play my official GH:WT disc, put it in, showed up at the official disc loader, then loaded up, halfway through, it saids disc error. After that, i kept trying to load it and out of 10 tries, it loaded actually once, but would die halfway through in the game showing the disc error. Now i play Gh:WT near the end of January, for 3-4 hrs straight no problems so its' no the disc. So i thought, let me try my other official games, none of them work, most will show up in the disc channel, but will either won't load or show the cannot read disc error. Now I'm scared, i'm scared i might have screwed up my wii. I have two gamma channels loaded onto the wii , the 0.3 gamma and the one with the 002 fix, but now, some of the burned games that worked when i first installed all this stuff like cooking mama, which just gives me a white screen.

I need to note that I only use Verbatim DVD-R when I was at my parent's place, but since i move back to where I am living, I used Maxell's DVD-R, and a buddy told me that burned games need to be on special DVDs like his modded PS2 needs Taiyo Yuden DVD's in order to protect the laser. The maxell ones work fine, because I can play RB2 for hrs on end without any problems. I'm thinking of scrapping everything and then sending it back to Nintendo to get a replacement. I tried searchign the internet and thsi forusm for it, but nobody seems to have this problem. Is it only me experiencing this?

If you guys need any more info i'll be glad to post more. Thanks in Advance.

Well the laser is like a lamp bulb so the life is counted in hours of use, but this lasers will last at least 10+ years, this software shouldn't interfere with your originals, I not trying to say anything but, How well you treat your discs..?? I basically always always always take them by the central hole and the side, if your discs have a minimal scratch, the Disc Channel is very picky and it wont read them if they are dirty, but if now your backups aren't working, then must be the laser, and you clean it you need to open up your Wii, thing that I don't think you're going to do, but believe me I live in the most dustiest place on earth and my Wii has never had this kind of problems, you are not the only one posting this, you may want to upgrade to 3.4 and then use cIOS and IOS Downgraders to go back to 3.2, you can delete the Channel without the 002fix, you don't need it, and if you want to send it back to Ninty, just use the cIOS uninstaller, upgrade to 3.4 and then format, in that precise order....!!!

Has anyone ever gotten Medal of Honor Heros 2, SSX Blur, and mortal kombat Armagedon to work without patching the games to a certain IOS then burning them?

I've tried 2 different ISO's and 8 disks but SSX Blur does not work for me. Can some PM me a working ISO link? (Sorry if this is against the forum rules).

If you know which IOS is requested by these games, you can replace this one with a cIOS and the game(s) will work.

Well...Time to use this Thread, instead of making a new one

. I realy hope someone can answer my questions, since they aren't typical ones...

So, I want to start to make some Gamecube-Multigame-Discs, everything is ready, only missing: the .iso's. It's hard to find the ones I want online, so I decided after a few searches to give FTPii a Chance, and dump some. I don't want Waninkokos-Dumper, because I don't want a cIOS on my Wii. Now, everything works, FileZilla found the Wii, all Folders displayed, I can send and recieve, etc...

But I have two small Problems:

1)Instead of an .iso in the WOD-Folder, I see a .img ...How can I make an .iso on it? Simply rename?
2)Speed is slow...around 150-210 KB/s ...because of my bad Wireless-Connection? Is Ethernet faster?


Many Thanks in Advance

.

1) With a conventor use google... or use IMGBurn... witch supports .img files
2) No this is normal... it just can't be faster ATM...

Okay, so i am an Ultra NOOB, and have some questions, please respond...

I have done the twilight hack, and have a system running 3.2U.

What is the best way to play backup Wii games??

What is all this IOS and CIOS talk in laymans terms, what are all the ones out there, what do they mean, and is there one that works for nearly all games??

Is there any advantage to loading wad games versus running those same games through an emulator??

Which emulators are best for NES, SNES, GENESIS, N64, etc...

What apps do I need, which apps are just dups...

Is there an app that lets me play backups through disc channel??

What do I need to run WiiWare games?


Sorry for all the ?'s. There just has to be a simpler way to do this. Even BigMoe's guide which is excellent uses alot of heavy acroyms and tells you what to run, but not exactly why. Just trying to wrap my brain around all this. Thanks.

Softmii has the best compatibility and runs from the disc channel

What is all this IOS and CIOS talk in laymans terms, what are all the ones out there, what do they mean, and is there one that works for nearly all games??
IOS=Input/Ouput system, cIOS = custom Input/Output system. They are used for many things. backup launcher has about 95% comatibility, softmii has 99% compatibility

Is there any advantage to loading wad games versus running those same games through an emulator??
Not really

Which emulators are best for NES, SNES, GENESIS, N64, etc...
Use search

What apps do I need, which apps are just dups...
What do you want to do?

Is there an app that lets me play backups through disc channel?
Backup Launcher, softmii (but thats not an app)

What do I need to run WiiWare games?
a wiiware game....

[WiiPower]

The compatibility difference between softmii and Gamma(or SoftChip) comes from the way the games are loaded and not from the cIOS. And with softmii more than 50% of import games will not work at all or only work in the video mode they were made for(PAL/NTSC).

 

[ATRochie]

So if I plan on playing wii games in my region only, and the occasional VC or WiiWare game, then SoftMii is the way to go???


Why is everone always changing the IOS and CIOS constantly on these boards!?

There no ultimate solution. Look here:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123...p;#entry1639626

if none of the games you want to play is listed there, i would recommend you just to install the Gamma cIOS and if you want to a channel for Gamma. All your games should work fine then, and you don't need to know about all of this as you need with softmii.

And not everybody is constantly changing his IOS and cIOS, if you have the correct ones installed and you games work fine, there's no need to change anything.
