Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[davidsl_128]

Sorry, but does Tales of Symphonia GC work with the new Gamecube Backup Launcher? I know that the compatibility thread says it works, but can I play the entire game? Or it's not possible to play the stuff in the second disc like in Metal Gear Solid?

Sorry to bother you wonderful people but I'm having some issues here, I am unable to get to the Wii Setting Menu, I get this error message " You tried to access the address marc:FIX/US/ENG?index01.html. which is currently unavailable, please make sure that the web address (url) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page." I of course got this message after soft modding my wii with Soft Mii 0.95, also have another error, when I run a burnt game through disk channel it will come up intro works, then when I play it the screen will either go black, or the game will run, but in black and white, I'm very noobish if you would, and I don't know what to do. I've tried searching for this answer around the forum, but I did not find it, if this has been asked already sorry, but if it has, maybe give me a link to the answer! But honestly any answers toward my problem will be much appreciated, thank you very much!

I'm a noob as well but maybe I could give you an idea what to check out on your disc problem
-do you use wiu1.1 to switch regions of the iso before burning it? (just search for it on this site and you should get a download link, it's really easy to use)
-do you use a high quality dvd-r such as verbatim?/use a slow burn speed (2x) and a good burning program like ImgBurn?

Did you have those problems before you installed Softmii? Or had you not tried any yet? If it worked before softmii, try uninstalling it (I dont want to try and describe how because I had a really hard time myself) and install it again, or install Starfall instead. I like Starfall better it's Noob friendly! lol

Hey all,
I downloaded Dvd Dumper 1.2 and got it loaded fine in my Wii, but when I go to the url supplied and click on 'save iso', it just brings me to 'internet explorer cannot open page', and then i get a message on my Wii saying "sending DVD ISO...error! (ret= -10056)
I tried it multiple times, exited any other processes on my computer and it's still not working. What's going on?
**I also just tried hooking up my TB FreeAgent hard drive to the USB connection and selecting USB and that also gave me "ERROR!"
***I went back to the post on the DVD Dumper 1.2 release and read someone else's post about how they switched to firefox and got it to work, and now mine is working! Sweet, this site rocks.
I do have one question though - will the Wii DVD Dumper rip any DVD or ISO? XBOX 360 Iso's?

Yeah internet explorer sucks in this, I actually use FlashGet to extract the .iso image, the USB or the GC slots aren't working, and NO the Wii only can read .WOD discs, but you can try with XBOX360 discs and surprise us...!!!

Sorry, but does Tales of Symphonia GC work with the new Gamecube Backup Launcher? I know that the compatibility thread says it works, but can I play the entire game? Or it's not possible to play the stuff in the second disc like in Metal Gear Solid?

The games with 2 discs aren't working, but you can save the game at the end of the first disc and then continue with the 2nd disc (as far as I have read and understood)...!!!

I think you have a brick, but I don't have many info about it so I'm not sure wich kind of brick you have, search at hackmii.com for bricks info and how to proceed, the black and white issue is because the regular cables with out of region games not properly forced I believe or forced I don't know much about this cause I haven't got this problem never, so sorry I can really help you, and I hope someone with more knowledge about this 2 issues can post more info here or in a thread so we can all know about it

Arggg I dunno, I can still play back-ups and all on Gamma, but Idk, guess I screwed up, I rather just format my Wii and try soft Modding it again, pretty sure that would work, anyone know how I can reform it? If the Wii system menu has that option, sorry I can't access that, I think I found my screw up, when I was soft modding it, I chose PAL instead Of NTSC, and it worked but it's wrong region anyways, if anyone could provide me with a link to dl something that would reformat my wii that wold be great thanks.

 

[Magicme]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but I checked around and couldn't find a definitive answer.

Is Brickblocker still necessary?

I installed the HBC and use the backup loader (most recent version) to load backups. I'm assuming that the backup loader prevents updates and therefore I don't need to use brickblocker on the backups but I thought I would check anyway.

Thanks.

Hello, next noob question. i installed wiigators Mcios, set it up so that it would run my gcn games from the disk channel(softmii installed 3.2e) are there any advantages to waninkoko's Mcios or the way around(since he's got his third release allready) exept for the multigame part.

also is it possible to install them side by side? so when i load the disc channel it will use wiigators, and when using a backuploader for gcn it''ll use waninkokos??

if so, is there a guide?

Hello, next noob question. I installed wiigators cMIOS, set it up so that it would run my gcn games from the disc channel(softmii installed 3.2e) are there any advantages to waninkoko's cMIOS or the way around(since he's got his third release allready) except for the multigame part.

also is it possible to install them side by side? so when i load the disc channel it will use wiigators, and when using a backuploader for gcn it'll use waninkokos??

Waninkoko's MIOS has disc channel support by default, wiigators requires to press X first
Also, waninkoko's has support for his own multigame loader
No you can't install them both at the same time, as there is only 1 MIOS on the system

 

[Starfire12]

Not noob - returning user looking for upgrade advice.

My current Wii is this:
PAL Wii on 3.2E.
Homebrew channel 0.9 installed.
CIOS that was released with Backup Launcher Gamma installed. No other MIOS or CMIOS.
Running Backup Launcher 0.3gamma via Custom Channel.

Now since there seem to have been several updates regarding custom firmware and also a Gamecube backup launcher has been released i want to to some upgrading. Not sure what to go for though and want to make sure i don't screw up and brick.

Now what i THINK i should do is:

Download Custom MIOS Installer (rev 03) from Waninkoko as well as the RVL-mios-v8.wad required for it's installation.
Questions:
1. Are there different versions of RVL-mios-v8.wad depending on whether one has PAL or NTSC or can i use whichever one i find without having to worry about bricking my Wii?
2. Is there anything else i need to install before the Custom MIOS (rev 03)? As i said i've not updated any custom thingies ever since installing the CIOS required for the backup launcher 0.3.
3. What exactly does this Custom MIOS (rev 03) from Waninkok do? Can i run Wii and Gamecube backups from the Disc channel afterwards_ If not what else do i need to run Gamecube backups? Preferrably a channel rather than something to run from the HBC.
4. Anything else i forgot asking as well as brick-traps to look out for.

Thx for any replies.

 

[WiiPower]

The MIOS is just the IOS used for gamecube games, nothing more. If you install a cMIOS you will be able to play backup gamecube games too, and nothing more will be changed.(maybe except original gamecube games not working anymore until you install the nintendo MIOS again) You will only be able to play gamecube backups from the disc channel if you disc channel detects backups and you have either Waninkoko's cMIOS or WiiGator's cMIOS will the special option installed.

 

[Starfire12]

Well i'd like to still be able to play my original Gamecube games. Can anyone confirm or deny whether those still work.

&: If that CMIOS affects only Camecube games (my bad - i thought it was a general update) should i update my Wii-backups-related custom stuff as well? As i said it's the version that came with BackupLauncher 0.3gamma? If yes: Which one is the one to get for me?

my originals play fine, saves work too

you have the newest cIOS, you can use CIOSCorp if you want to load backups from disc channel without rebooting, but that is optional

 

[AndiNru]

Hi, noob question, or just I'm an idiot.
I soft modded with Gamma and have been using it fine but I am trying to play my backups with more than one player. When it comes time to connect another player it won't sync on Smash brothers or Boom Blox - ones that don't have an add wii mote screen. Mario Cart where you add another wii mote works fine.
I am lost as to why? Any Ideas?
Thank you.

How do I make backups automatically run through the disc channel on a 3.3u Wii in which I can't downgrade(no Wii internet connection)?

If you have HBC you can use Any Region Changer to go back to your region again...!!

No it is not necesary with Gamma Launcher, it is needed only if you have a mod chip and you are out of 3.2 firmware, cause in 3.2 starfall or preloader have the "skip disc update hack"


1. Are there different versions of RVL-mios-v8.wad depending on whether one has PAL or NTSC or can i use whichever one i find without having to worry about bricking my Wii?
No the IOS and the MIOS aren't different depending of the region

2. Is there anything else i need to install before the Custom MIOS (rev 03)? As i said i've not updated any custom thingies ever since installing the CIOS required for the backup launcher 0.3.
For the GC backup launcher it is only required cIOS249 (the one for the Gamma Launcher) wich you already have

3. What exactly does this Custom MIOS (rev 03) from Waninkok do? Can i run Wii and Gamecube backups from the Disc channel afterwards_ If not what else do i need to run Gamecube backups? Preferrably a channel rather than something to run from the HBC.
The GC part of the Wii runs over a MIOS, the rest runs over the IOS, there is a thread around here with channels for the GC backup launcher

4. Anything else i forgot asking as well as brick-traps to look out for.
Don't do anything if you aren't sure of what you're doing, don't try to delete anything if you don't know what is that, don't be lazy and read some interensting info in these forums...!!

I don't know about bloom box, but for SSBB that is the "no DL support" part, when you connect the 2nd player, or get to some point of the game, it uses the second layer, thing that.......well......isn't supported by the DIP_rev7 inside the cIOS

You can check HERE to know how to downgrade to 3.2 and then install softmii, or just use the rebooter function in Gamma Launcher and then you'll be able to run the games thru the disc channel...!!

Alright... I kinda understood things back then, when there was only the Trucha Signer and I was a happy player. Then, things got messy and I lost contact with the scene for too long (probably since june or july last year). ANYWAY, what I'd like to know is (NOOB QUESTIONS AHEAD!):

1. I can use softmod while having a modchip?
2. Softmod doesn't get 001 error?
3. What is the 002 error?

My Wii is USA, I have a 1.4 WiiFree modchip (I think it's the oldest by now), and I used to patch games with trucha to get rid of the 001 error. My last update was SSBB update, and since then I haven't got anymore games, so I don't even know if Nintendo still puts error 001 in DVDs. (I also don't have Homebrews, but can install the channel if want to).

Yes.

When configured right.
3. What is the 002 error?
It was a protection that doesn't matter anymore because there's fixes: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123341

Hey, thanks!

By the way, I have a DVD5 SSBB, so, if I want to play it, I'll need to boot it in the original disc channel? I've read softchip boots 1:1 copys, right?

 

[TTom]

My Wii is 3.3E
I am using backup launcher 0.3 gamma IOS249.

I 'bought' COD:WAW today (NTSC version) however at seemingly random points whilst I am playing i get the black screen disc could not be read message, is there any way of fixing this?

Thanks
