Hello, I have a couple of Noob questions:
I successfully got backups working on my wii yesterday, my SD Card still has all the files on it from hacking. Is it ok to delete the files now? As it crashes when I open the SD Card on the wii, I imagine it is because of this.
I was thinking you just leave the apps folder and the wads folder, I also downloaded the internet browser to the card from the shop, so where would this be on the card?
Also. I'm using the Neogamma 7 thing to load my backups. Is there anyway I can have a shortcut channel that automatically launches the disc in the drive, or do you have to go through HBC, Neogamma etc.
Thanks in advance.
The sd card menu freezing is due to bannerbomb. Bannerbomb should be the content.bin file in this file directory: SD:\private\wii\title\aktn\content.bin
Delete that aktn folder. (If there's no other folders there you can just delete the whole private folder, but you don't have to.)
Once you install a wad, you don't need it on your SD card anymore, but should keep it on your pc or something at least because you will need them to uninstall whatever you installed if you need to. (unless they are IOS/system menu wad files or something, in which case you should NEVER uninstall.) I mean to save the wad's that you have of any vc/wiiware/channels you installed.
By downloading the internet channel to the card from the shop, do you mean you downloaded the new internet channel from the wii shop channel and had it download to your SD card instead of your system menu? If so, that would also be in your private folder along with bannerbomb so as I said above you would only delete that aktn folder and not everything.
In order to have an HBC app installed as a channel on your system menu, you need to install a wad of that application with wad manager. You should be able to find a wad of NeoGamma in the backup loader forum somewhere. I believe there's a good NeoGamma R6 autoboot channel wad that you can use and I think there's an R7 version of it later in the thread.
You can also install a dol forwarder channel, which would install a channel that will look in a specific folder for a .dol file on your sd card and load that. By installing that, you can replace the .dol file with a newer one in the event of an updated version of it or something instead of having to uninstall the channel and install a new wad of the new version.
