Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

HELP!!! I tried using NuGaSa on an official Nintendo GC card, and 1- it didn't do a backup, and 2- my memory card is now corrupted! Is there a was to recover my saves, or at least format the card so it works again? It's the only one I have...

Go into the Wii Settings where you can see your GC saves and it will tell you that your GC memory card is corrupted and you need to format it, click on YES and it will format it, I don't think you can save your saves, sorry...!!

I just rebooted my Wii a couple of times and now it works

but thanks anyway. Still, is there a way to change the name of GC saves other than with NuGaSa? The new GC backup Launcher won't recognize the saves I did with the old GC Launcher. And since I'm using an original GC card I can't use NuGaSa to change the names

there are other apps to extract the saves from your GC cards besides NuGaSa, use Homebrew Browser to download them...!!

hi guys, i know this may be noobish, but its a very serious question. We all know that the wii internal memory is no where enough for today's standards. Can we install wads/channels to the sd card, so we can load from there? also, is there a preloader/ios patch to enable sdhc support in the native system menu?

not possible, you can normally install them and put them on sd card afterwards, but you still can't load from sd
also, is there a preloader/ios patch to enable sdhc support in the native system menu?
no

oups I just saw my answer and forgot to write, that I kind of remember someone posting this solution on a PAL wii, not really sure it will work, but you can also run the game using the rebooter function on Gamma loader...!!!

Hi, isn't there a way to backup GC saves from an original Nintendo GC Memory Card? NuGaSa and GCMM don't support original cards, and Sd2GC (or however it's called, I only know it has a 2 in the middle) only restores saves but can't backup them. Help

I have a question about hacks.ini files for preloader. When I turn on my wii and get into the preloader menu it tells me i've got systemmenu v257 and preloader v0.28. If i Go to the Systemmenu hacks option it tells me, "No hacks for your systemmenu version(v257) were found." I've seen a bunch of different hacks.ini files, but in all of them the versions is either v289 or v290. Are there any hacks for v257?

For the most part no... Why don't you upgrade to 3.2?

I don't have a wifi connection at the moment, is there any way to upgrade without wifi? And if I had wifi, could I upgrade just to 3.2 or would it force me to upgrade to whatever is the most current version?

The only way would be finding a disc with 3.2 on it, but don't ask me which ones have...

there is no game with 3.2 update, but you can install manually the .wad files for 3.2, here is a list of the ones you need

I am curious, once I do the Twilight Princess hack, and have the homebrew channel, is there anyway I can play Street Fighter Alpha 2 from the SNES?

 

[JJBro1]

do all wii downloads come in parts? I thought you just download wiigame.iso

You can use the SNES emulator for the Wii and get the rom...!!

QUOTEo all wii downloads come in parts? I thought you just download wiigame.iso

It depends on where you are getting them from, and since the .iso's are 4.37GB I only know one place where you can getting them in just one piece, but you need to buy a memebership for 25 usd for 6 months, not bad....!!!

BTW: don't ask HERE about it, use the PM

Also will the Twilight Hack work on 3.4 Firmware, and would you say it would be dangerous to my Wii to do? Or is it easy and safe?

There is a version especially for 3.4
yes its safe

 

[ether2802]

Mmmmm.... so you don't know anything about the hack, recomendation, read the next sticky...!!!

 

[DDRPenguin]

Ok I will read it. Also does the SNES emulator use the Classic Controller for wii?

 

[ether2802]

yeah the classic controller too, not just that one tho, you can use the Wiimote alone, or with nunchuck, or the even a GC controller....!!!

I'm hoping this is not a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find the answer.

So far, installing "Virtual Console" games requires the twilight hack, a wad installer, and special injection tools... I was curious and decided to look around to see if anyone found a workaround for the encryption, so one could inject a rom directly in the "content.bin" file on an SD card, simply replacing the rom from one game for another. In short, the Wii thinks you are running Mario, but you are really running excitebike. ...if that makes sense. I did some google searching and various links came up for "Team Blaze," but these seemed to pan out to be wad files as well.

Just as a curiosity, has anyone managed to inject roms into the standard encrypted bin files, or is wad installing the only way so far?
