Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[megamaan]

Noob question. I have 4.0E virgin Wii. If I softmod my Wii with proper guide, can I somehow uninstall the softmod? So I could go back to virgin 4.0E Wii after all those cIOS installs etc.

I've seen a fair amount of virginizing 4.0 guides going around, so I'm sure it's possible, although I haven't bothered to look into it much myself. If you do decide to softmod, this

should help you out. It's basically what I did to a virgin 4.0U Wii to make it one that's pretty much fully functional with backups and homebrew. I've never bothered with USB loaders though, if you care for that. On top of that, I recommend installing IOS37, 38, 53, 55, and 60. Also, NeoGamma = win.

Hey, sorry if it's already asked but search didn't really help for me.

If i RegionFrii games (from NTSC-U to PAL) while they still have a gray screen because of the old television not supporting NTSC? (Like if you use a outside region game with GeckoOS or Datel's Freeloader)

Shit I had to read this like 20 times before I understand you have a grammar error

, I believe that has to do with the game not having the video output for your region (in this case PAL) and/or that problem happened to a lot of users in here using the Gamma launcher (wich is a copy of GeckOS but with backup support thanks to the cIOS) and not having the component cables, can be any on those or both..!!

EDIT: Ohh I just re-read your question, sorry, well if they do is because of this I wrote above, but you might be lucky and not have this problem, hence you now how it looks using GeckOS then you know that some out of region games looks right, and some look gray, and if yes that is the problem of your TV too, cause it can't reproduce the NTSC video signal, buy a LCD TV please, the bigger the better...!!

Okay, I have a simple question.
I'm on 3.2E now, if I manually update to 4.0E, will ALL the homebrew stuff still work?
Should I update? Or is it better to stay at 3.2E?
Thank You

Well if by manually you mean, using the Waninkoko's updater, then yes you still can use all the homebrew stuff, and if you mean updating thru the Wii's settings, then you first need to install the cIOS36_r10 before updating, and I'm still on 3.2, the only only only good thing about 4.0, is the ability to use SDHC on the Wii natively, and some people here like the SD launching thingy but, it is up to you choosing wich FW is better...!!

ok...so i got the whole softmii thing on my wii...works great
i got the wiigator mios patcher and lauching from disc channel great

2 issues i am having now...

it appears even with preloader v29 using ios 30 and firmware 3.2u even though gamecube region free is selected multidisc game cube games not working if I mix NTSC and PAL..is it possible to make a multiboot disc with different region games like PAL/NTSC?

and second I have not been able to get any of the VC games installed to work at all. They all go to a black screen and if I hit the home button the options come up for controls/etc but I can never play the actual games.
update
the option below worked for me for NES VC Games, but not the SNES VC games

update: I was able to get SNES VC games working by a new wad install.

I did use the Wiiscu to update all IOS with the trucha bug including 60 and 61

if I used waninokos 4.0 fw updater is that going to make a diference for me?

I don't think you can use a NTSC disc 1 then a PAL disc 2, or vice versa. Just an educated guess though...

Going to 4.0 wouldn't change much if you're asking in regards to your posted problems. You'd just get a nifty SD card launcher on the main system screen and have better support for SDHC. I do like launching all my WiiWare/VC stuff from that SD card, but shrug. It's your call really.

 

[clownz]

based on what i already have installed on my wii, if i was to upgrade using waninoko's 4.0 would it affect anything i have installed using wiiscu (ios 60 and 61 patched from wiiscu) already?

and would i have to reinstall anything i already have? (cioscorp?) and do i lose the functionality of the disc channel?

thanx for your response.

I'm having trouble installing one VC .wad app only and it is a newer released one. I'm running 3.2. It actually installs and the channel shows up on my system menu but when I start it the game just returns me right back to the system menu. Any ideas.

 

[screwed]

After getting Boom Blox Bash Party, the Wii asks me to update to the latest firmware. Which I have been warned againt if I want to run homebrew.
So how can I play new games without updating?

I don't know much about WiiSCU or cIOScorp since I don't use then, but Waninkoko's updater is supposed to leave your IOS files intact, so I imagine you'd be fine... I recommend hitting up one of the upgrading to 4.0 guides floating around here.

No idea bout WiiSCU, but cIOSCorp needs to be re-installed
follow the ultimate 4.0 guide

Thanks!

Yesterday when pausing my homebrew channel it said IOS36 v.12.X (It was twelve point -something-) in the corner, after messing around with some modding today, it's now reading IOS36 v.4.18

Why has this happened and how to I go back, I'm assuming version 12 is better than 4.

 

[icedtea]

i have installed homebrew channel with the twilight hack. i am able to use the homebrew channel to install wads like DVDX and BackupLauncher0.3g but cant get them to run. all my wii does is restart. im running firmware 3.1U. i also have a friend who has the same setup and his is all working. thanks

 

[JDMEVOIXMR]

I'm running 3.2U with HBC and Gamma Channel installed.

1. What do I need to do before I update 4.0?
2. Will I lose anything if I update to 4.0?
3. How do I update HBC?

 

[Flameblade]

When I try to do a variety of different things the Wii always comes up with 'Exception (DSI) occured!' and a code dump, and I have to restart the Wii. Up until now I've managed to find a way around it, but it's happening part-way through trying to install games with USB Loader, the percentage will freeze and the error will come up.

What is 'Exception (DSI) occured!' and how do I stop it from happening?

 

[ubersk8kid]

So I updated to 4.0 legitly

I want to run my VC/WiiWare games off the SD card, but I can't because it says failure to launch.
Do I need to install just IOS60? or is that the IOS that I choose in WADmanager?
I have CIOS Rev 10 installed if that makes any difference.
I also dont have preloader, should I?

what do i simply need to do?
