Ell2Cool said:hey guys,
i havent used my wii in ages and i just came back to look things up to load some new games and and now confused with everything that has gone on. here is my current situation:
when i was last here 3.2 (in my case, 3.2E) was the mother of all firmwares so i downgraded to that, installed preloader and currently use cIOS36r9, USB loader 1.1 and a couple of (now out of date) DVDR and USB channels.
ive been reading about a new loader called USB Loader GX, what is this?????? and how is it different to previous USB loaders.
There are many usb loader versions. GX is seen as one of the best. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149922
Read the official readmii (in my sig) to find out what it can do.
i would like to be able to play all the newest games with minimal effort such as wii sports resort (yes i know you need the motionplus to play it but that is covered)
is IOS36r13a better than 13b???? Yes, it has no 'bad' 002fix (I'm not going to explain that)
also, if i get new loaders to play these new games, then is there a way to remove my old channels such as my USB channel, when i no longer have the WADs for them?
Any title deleter can do it (check wiibrew). Or use waninkokos wad creator to create a wad of it again.
also, can i use waninkoko's updater to safely update to 4.1 and preserve all of my stuff like preloader, or would it break preloader and would i have to re-install a new one?
There is a guide called 'Ultimate system menu 4.0 guide. You can use it (just use the 4.1 updater instead of 4.0)
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144835
i also have cIOScorp installed, v1. would that in anyway harm the updating to 4.1????
See previous Q. cIOSCorp has to be reinstalled at the correct moment or it bricks the wii.
thanks guys. if i havent made any parts clear which im guessing is all of them, id be happy to restate everything.
Thanks.
whoizdib said:So can you run elf files from the HBC now? Do you need the bannerbomb exploit to install new versions of bootmii? Or can I install it from the HBC?
Thanks.
Only bannerbomb and preloader can run .elf files for now, Team Twizers disable the .elf support from HBC
Hellodcoop said:Got a question about these IOS things..
How to do you know which ones you have installed on your Wii?
and if you dont have some..is there something that you do to get them installed? Do you need to buy a game? Or is there a pack of them somewhere that you can get?
I know they're not allowed to be hosted to/linked to on here so not asking for that.
You can use TitleLister to know wich ones you have, and you can use IOS-DOP (or DIP don't remember) to get them and install them on your Wii
Your SD is not compatiblemfalcon said:Noob with a question
I have my wii with the twilight hack done by someone other than me. I currently get some 002 errors and after much research I guess I need to update my cios and possibly a new backup launcher. I have a blank sd card and downloaded a cios installer and neo gamma launcher. I understand I have to rename the .dol files to boot.dol. Is this correct. Can I just make an app file on a sd card or do I need to format a card in a way like my sons hacked psp? Sorry for such an easy question for the pros here but I dont want to make a mistake and wreck my kids wii for I will get lynched.
the files need to be on:
SD:/apps/cIOS installer/boot.dol
SD:apps/Backup Launcher/boot.dol
QUOTE(superman101 @ Jul 22 2009, 08:13 PM) i just tried backing up my nand to my SD card, but all im getting is "Short write to block 0: 0 bytes, Backup failed:-1"
anyone know whats happening

I want to play some wiiware games on my wii,i think they are wad files ??,anyway is there some sort of tutorial on how to play these please.I have a PAL WII v 3.3E,i have the twilight hack installed and Homebrew channel and have cIOS36rev7 installed and also am using IOS249 and am using Neogamma R6 to play backup games.. So please what do i have to do to get some wiiware games running...thanks
Nollog said:How does one revert to the official Nintendo IOS's and firmware?
Is it even possible?
The reason I ask is that I have no clue what c/ios's I've installed after following so many guides, and in my experience not knowing what you've done to a console or computer ends in disaster eventually.
Use TitleLister to check wich IOSes you have on your Wii, although if you haven't used CIOScorp, you ONLY have a cIOS (wich always gets installed as IOS249), and it is not recomendable to delete is cause you might loose homebrew (pirate wise mostly) capability, but perform an update thru Wii's settings to get the LATEST IOSes versions
I did an official firmware update from 3.4u to 4.1u and my serial number for my wii begins with lu65, what do I need to play backups? I know some people do not like these questions, but I would really appreciate any help, even someone telling me it can't be done, please thank you so much in advanceEl-Grosso said:How do I make iso's from already burnt games on DVD-Rs using Imgburn? Is it create image file from disc? Thanks.
Exactly..!!
Yarko said:Ok, this should be an easy one:
How do I make PAL games (particularly Wii Sports Resort) work on my NTSC Wii/TV.
It gives me error 002 and even after trying the NeoGamma solution, the screen is black and white and jumps up and down.
Any help would be GLADLY appreciated.
(I use USB's, not DVD's)
Force to NTSC on the NeoGamma options..!!

There are tons of guides stickied here, it doesn't matter your serial number as long as you don't downgrade lower than 3.4, but I believe the steps are:
use Bannerbomb to launch HackMii installer and install the HBC
use TBR (trucha bug restorer) to downgrade the IOS15
install patched IOS36 (TBR)
restore IOS15 (TBR)
use a cIOS installer (above cIOS_r9 if you want USB backups), install with IOS36
use the NeoGamma to launch your backups
screwed said:Has there come up a way to installd wads on system menu 4.0E yet?
Without using cisos that is. just through HBC

Ell2Cool said:Thanks for all that tj_cool.
a few other things im not sure of though, can preloader be installed on 4.1 or not. and are their better methods of brick protection.
i briefly read about bootmii but was put off it as it sounds like quite a big thing and i only want something minimal like preloader and im confused about the whole boot2 or IOS thing. with bootmii, does it boot to the bootmii menu every time or can you instruct it to boot straight to the system menu and only access bootmii through HBC or using a combination of buttons at startup??

You have 4.x so no choice but to use bannerbomb. Twilight Hack doesn't workKekkimaru said:I was curious about softmodding my wii, but I really don't want to brick it. I don't have a copy of Twilight Princess to do the twilight hack, so I was thinking about using bannerbomb, but the big issue I have with doing anything is the fact that my firmware is at 4.1U. Being that I am a noob at this, should I even bother with bannerbomb, or if I got a copy of twilight princess what are the chances that I could successfully softmod my wii without turning it into an expensive door stop?
