Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[Xirix]

Forgive my ignorance, My Wiikey refuses to block updates so I wish to install Preloader, I did not get far in the guide.

'3)A 3.2/4.0 Firmware, complete with downgraded IOSes. Do not know what it is? Check Homebrew Starter's Guide, Firmware Section'

I cannot find the information on how to downgrade the IOSes in the Newbie Start Guide, can someone help?

SD/
+APPS
[Homebrew browser]
[Usb Loader] USBLoader Ultimate V6.5

+IMAGES [no files present]

+PRIVATE/WII/APP/RSBP/AL/BIN FILEal_090824_1159 + BIN FILEal_090827_1810

Ok, a question before I softmod the wii. is it safe to do with a sdhc card instead of a normal sd card?

Yes, if you have System Menu 4.0 or 4.1. Earlier versions of the system menu do not support SDHC cards (even though many homebrew does)

I'm planning on ordering Qii Sports Resort and Metroid Prime Trilogy and heard they update to 4.1, now I'm running 4.0E and wondered what the best way to update was

 

[ozguy]

No, they do not update to 4.1, nor do they require 4.1. There are not even any games that have 4.0 on them yet.

Best way to update is always to use Waninkoko's updater. His updater makes sure that the big N doesn't close some of the security holes that have been found over the years. There are other ways to do it, but his updater is the simplest.

I've got Ocarina and a good code loader, and I was able to re-unlock everything in Smash Bros (US) after loosing my save data, but none of the code lists I find contain an unlock for all the music and options (IE more options for multiplayer brawl). Does a code exist? It seems simple enough..

No, I didn't. Thanks. I was looking for the music specifically and not for 'everything' which is what I wanted anyway.

Even tho I got the other hacks working, I couldn't get the unlock everything SSBB code to take, but I'll fight with that later.

In the meantime, I posted what I thought was a reasonable question a while ago and my post has fallen by the wayside, possibly due to the lack of an answer, so I'll repost it here with a few more things I was wondering.

I recently Banner Bricked my Wii, spent more than I would have liked fixing it, and waited way, way longer than I should have had to get it back.
I've got it up and running, with better hacks and apps than I did previously, but when I got it back, it was devoid of ALL my previous data. Apps, channels, saves, the VC games I actually paid for... everything, down to my old friend code.

My question is, is there a way to change the system data to match the previous data? I have the old friend code, and I'd really like to change it to be that one, if its possible, to reestablish my relations with old contacts easier.
Additionally, I'd like it re-synced with my My/Club Nintendo account. Is there a hax way to do that, or do I have to write Nintendo and beg?

Also, I've updated my Wii with the latest cIOS and hacked 4.1 menu. Can I safely access the shop channel? I heard previously that doing so will shut down your Wii.

Also, whats the best way to install VC/Wii Ware files? I've struggled with this in the past, but think I'm getting better with homebrew stuff.

PRE LOADER OR STARTPATCH

i had the old starfall and was happy...lol but am updated to 4.1 using waninkoko updater now.
I have boot2 so got a nand back up.

I have never had pre loader or startpatch and been warming to pre loader

are they as good as each other can i change backrounds with them and one last thing i got so used to not having the health screen wich is best

 

[loash]

I used the guide to update to system menu 4.0 (actually to 4.1) for my friend's Wii and everything appeared to seem fine. I installed a whole bunch of WiiWare/VC games and copied most of it to this sd card, but now he says the wii says "failure to load" when he tries to load from the sd card. I thought I followed the guide all the way through but I must have missed something.

just want to know if you guys know the exact problem. I'm thinking it's IOS60 related but i won't know until I see him again. if it's IOS60, what is the remedy to get his games running? and would i have to reinstall all his wads again even though i already did and copied to the sd card?
