I used the "Fully SoftMod Any Wii" guide to get BootMii and upgrade to 4.1.

Whenever I try to use the Shop Channel, it just restarts my Wii. Can I fix this without updating the official way?

Hello,

I have been trying to follow this guide as best I can. I have d2ckey installed.

I was able to install the homebrew channel as well as bootmii to boot2. I have also updated to 4.1 with Waninkoko's Firmware Updater. I tryed to install the wad manager but wasn't sure of which IOS. Anything else I need such as the trucha bug.

When I put in Madden 10, it still asks for an update. Not sure for what, but is it safe to do?

I just installed da_letter_a's cIOSCORP v3.3 . Would it be safe for me to also install Preloader?

Smashstack was just released today and is quite fitting as anyone wanting to play brawl+/balanced brawl would already have brawl, so you could try using that to see if geckoOS works with that.

Edit: Just tried it on mine and it seems to load gecko 1.91 with the balanced brawl gct fine so I guess there's your solution. Get the smashstack private folder, put it on your card along with the gct in codes folder and gameconfig.txt on the root along with the boot.elf of geckoOS. Then just load brawl normally, put the SD card in, go to vault, then stage buillder, then geckoOS should load up automatically and you can apply the cheats and bam brawl+/bbrawl.

Really noob question. Since I softmodded the Wii so I can have the HBC and play my backups I've wanted to upgrade to 4.1 (I have 3.3u now) Will this BRICK the Wii or just make the HBC and backups stop working? I ask because I know theres new methods now of softmodding and I want to be able to play stuff off the SD.

Run Waninkoko's 4.0 updater, then run his 4.1 updater.

check out my guide and your good. and yes, really noob question.
i mean, why do people always think updating or new hacks ruin backup loading and homebrew capability?

If you haven't already when you installed the HBC, go back to the hackmii installer and see if you can install bootmii to boot2. (If the wii was bought after mid 2008 it likely won't.) After installing it use it to make a NAND backup and then proceed.

Use the Trucha Bug Restorer to downgrade IOS15, run it again USING IOS15 to install IOS36 with the trucha bug and ES_Identify to IOS36, then run it again using IOS36 and restore IOS15.

Then run the cIOS rev14 installer and have it use IOS36 at the first prompt.

Then use Wad Manager 1.4 or 1.5 and have that use IOS249 to install your wad's, but make sure you know what wad's you're installing. Make sure they are confirmed to be legit channels and what not and you should not need to deal with any sort of IOS wads or system menu wad's at all. If you don't have bootmii installed to boot2, you should at least have preloader before trying to install any wad's as banner brick protection.

How do I add MPlayer to the homebrew channel?
tongue.gif

Make a folder called "Apps" in the root of your sd card.
Make a folder called "MPlayer" and place that inside of the apps folder.
Place the boot.dol for mplayer in the "MPlayer" folder


Alternatively just download this (The most recent Mplayer) and unzip and place the "apps" folder in the root of your sd

If I have Firmware 4.0. If i follow the same steps nabster was asking for will this work also.
I am unable to install WAD's and CIOS. If not what WAD's and CIOS can i run to get this to work. I already have HBC installed but that is about as far as it gets no matter what i try to run.

Yes, just read through my entire guide in my sig, that should clear any confusion you have about anything, and if it doesn't post in the thread to ask about it and I may add to it if necessary.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
