hi i have been scouring the sites googling and not getting very far any of you have come across this prob ,i had 3.2 updated to 4.1 wann's fw did all the stuff relaoding preloader and stuff. but when i try to load my retail wii sports resort i get 002 error message yet it will load threw neogamma 6 np ,is there any way i can get it to load to load threw disc channel without the 002 error i have tried original sonic and it loads np its seems to be just wii resort any help would be appreciated

 

[Hesed]

As good, obedient, and ignorant consumer, I upgraded the wii a couple of times since buying it.

Ok, so I don't know much about all this, but I installed BootMii after reading the wiki at wiibrew, and I now have the Homebrew Channel and Homebrew Browser installed, and a couple of lame games via the Homebrew Channel.

Now I'm looking at trying to install WADs with the wadmanager 1.4, and it asks for the iso #.

How do I determine the ISO # to use the 1.4 installer, or do I have to downgrade?

Where to from here?

Thanks in advance.....

Another NOOB to help.

for 1 it's not "iso" it called an "ios" big differecne. Anywhoo the default is 249 and u shld use that. But it sounds like u don't have a "cios" installed which is neccessay for wad manager. U will Ned to use this guide to restore trucha bug and install a cios to run wad manager http://www.yafaze.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1178

Hiya,

I did a lot of reading when I first got my Wii and successfully used TP to install the homebrew channel.

After getting 002 errors on games, I came back to have a read and OMG so much has changed I'm really lost!

The more I read the more I'm getting confused. I have system menu 3.4E and have just installed Neogamma R6 sucessfully. Some games are now working but some I am still getting the 002 error message or they are booting back to the main menu. I think I have rev7 installed but am not sure how to find out or how to change it to rev 13a (which is the one I think I want from what I have read).

I have been trying to find out how to install Bootmii but am I correct in thinking that I can't install it as it is 3.4E? I have a preloader folder on my sd card (Apps\Preloader0.28) but I admit I blindly followed a guide without really understanding what I was doing and now I am trying to backtrack and really understand what I actually have installed so I don't know if this is actually functional or not.

I really would like brick protection before I start changing anything but I've got square eyes and a frazzled brain from all the reading so any help would be appreciated! I have been a little worried to put a post on here as I have seen some unpleasant replies to people who haven't understood something.

Getting preloader on 3.4 was pretty useless and I don't know how you managed to come to the conclusion that bootmii wouldn't be able to be installed on 3.4 and preloader would. As soon as you update, preloader will be gone. Bootmii can be installed on anything and will survive any update if you can do a boot2 install on your Wii, which you will be able to as long as your Wii is over about a year old.

Download the cIOS rev13a installer http://www.teknoconsolas.es/blog/waninkoko...om-ios38-rev-13
Change the .dol in that to boot.dol, put it in a cIOS installer folder, put that folder in the "apps" folder which should be on the root of your sd card. Then put the card back in your Wii and load the HBC and click on that cIOS installer and load it. Then when it prompts for what IOS to use, use IOS249 since you havae rev7 installed. Then do a network installation, provided you have wifi.

Then run the hackmii installer in the same way but rename the installer.elf to boot.elf instead. (Get it from www.bootmii.org or just follow the auto update in the HBC if it is prompting you to do it.) Then through that, install the updated HBC, and then if you can, install bootmii to boot2, then exit and reboot your Wii. Use a GC controller to select the 4th icon and then the 1st icon on the next page. Then follow instructions to backup your NAND to your SD card (needs about 540 MB).

This is all the brick protection you need.

After you do that use Waninkoko's 4.1 updater (run in through the HBC in a similar fashion to the above). This should get rid of preloader and update any IOS's you need to update which may get rid of some of those rebooting problems with games.

(above should have been a quote, sorry)

Thanks for the advice

I have installed Cios 13a and have installed bootmii to IOS. I haven't done anything else as I don't have a gc controller yet. But as you mentioned earlier, preloader is useless on 3.4 so does that mean that getting a gc controller is pointless as I can't install Preloader or am I getting the wrong idea? (I have read on the forum that Bootmii can be used with Preloader if it can't be installed to Boot2). I don't want to get the controller if there's absolutely no point, and am not sure if I can install preloader 0.29.

Yea bootmii as an IOS won't really save you from any bricks. Preloader itself can, but it's not quite as useful on 3.4 as there are no hacks.ini for that system menu. Just run Waninkoko's 4.0 or 4.1 updater first, then use the Trucha Bug Restorer to fix IOS36 up and install preloader. Then you will have some brick protection with that at least as long as you don't delete your system menu or IOS60 or something.

Sorry to ask another question - I just want to make sure I do everything right as I have no brick protection whatsoever!!

To update to 4.1, do I follow the ultimate guide which involves downgrading to 3.2 (I thought I read there was no need to do this now but I can't find where I read it). I'm a little worried about downgrading if there's a better way.

If I do have to follow this guide in order to upgrade to 4.1, should I upgrade to 4.0 first or can I upgrade straight to 4.1?

Also, do I follow from step 6 onwards in that order?

Just to clarify, I currently have cIOS rev 13a on a 3.4E system menu with neogamma R6. I have installed Bootmii as an IOS as unable to install to Boot2.

I haven't got any type of backup as I am waiting for a gamecube controller to come through the post (although I guess it wouldn't be of any use yet anyway!)

Many thanks for your help! (dropped by the noob chat room but there was no-one there)

Greets Dudes I have a simple and quick question .... If I erase my Wii memory in the Wii setttings what exactly do I loose. (All my channels, homebrew channel, Mii channel etc...) I have some wad games on my sd card that will not copy or move to the Wii memory for some reason so I was gonna wipe the sd card and Wii memory if I had to and start over. I am using Waninkoko's firmware 4.1 Any thoughts?

So formatting my Wii Memory is not a good Idea?? What will I loose if I do? Whats the best method to clean up old games that show up on the SD card but will not load to Wii memory?
Also another question.. I tried to load hackmii from the homebrew channel. and it hangs at the first screen where the last line reads "turn off your Wii" How do I get this to proceed?
I am on 4.1 waninkoko firmware Rev 14 and would like some bricking protection.. Thanks Dudes & Dudettes

It's not a matter of what you lose if you format. It's that formatting a softmodded Wii has more of a chance to brick you that running most other homebrew apps do.

So is your problem that installed vc wad's won't load from the sd card menu? Formatting your Wii would do absolutely nothing to that anyways even if it did work. You need to patch IOS60 in order to get that to work (AND DO NOT UNINSTALL IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IF IT DOESN'T WORK OR SOMETHING). Use dop-IOS to install the most recent IOS60 with the sig hash.

And what was your other problem? You tried to run the hackmii installer to install bootmii and it immediately told you to turn off your Wii? How old is your Wii and what have you installed on it? Have you installed CIOSCORP?

Another quick, simple question here, with a wee bit of a backstory. Basically, I followed the Ultimate Guide to update my Wii from 3.2E to 4.1E and its all gravy. I want to install Neogamma r6 as a wad now. I got the wad, put it in a folder called wads on the root of my SD Card and I have Wad Manager 1.5 in the app sections. Now everyone is simply saying install the wad from the SD using Wad Manager, but before I even get the option to install, Wad Manager asks me to pick an IOS, and it is here, I am stuck. Which do I pick?

The defualt 249. Don't worry bout the others.it simple choose what ios u want wad manager use to be able to install.

 

[AJV17]

Thanks, but now Wad Manager isn't loading from the SD Card, saying error re= -1?

 

[nabster92]

I typed up an answer for that but apparently it didn't go through because gbatemp is all slow today.

Anyways the folder needs to be named "WAD" not wads. Just put your .wad's in the "WAD" folder on the root of your sd card, use IOS249(or any other IOS with the trucha bug, but as long as you have IOS249 (any cIOS installed), just use that.) and you should be set.
