Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

Not all Wii's can play backup discs, if you're Wii is a newer model, it probably can't.

ModMii already installed everything you need to play backup GC and Wii discs, all u need to do is download/save neogamma to your SD card or FAT32 hard drive (u can do this using ModMii's download page 2, or u can do it the old fashioned way). Then just launch NeoGamma, and see if it can launch a backup disc... if it cannot, your Wii cannot play backup discs without a modchip or replacing the dvd drive.

Okay I'll give it a try. My wii is old, made in 2006, hopefully it'll be able to play. What program and disc type do you recommend for the gamecube backups? And this won't interfere with Config USB loader for my wii backups?

 

[XFlak]

burn on DVD-R's, at approx 4x speed. I think Verbatim's are the best, but a lot of brands work just fine.

there's an app called multi-iso creator, u can download it from the following link
http://filetrip.net/h1973-Wii-Gamecube-Mul...SO-Creator.html

with this, u can burn more than one GC game per DVD, but I advise against compressing the ISOs, so don't try and fit too many (I would say about 3 games per DVD should be fine).

But yea, u can always just burn 1 game per dvd and avoid using the above program, its up to u

and it will not interfere with cfg usb-loader... in fact, u can use configurable usb-loader to launch a backup disc if u want (hit + while in cfg usb-loader).

Quick question: a friend of mine updated his Wii with the latest Nintendo update and it seems to have erased or overwritten the capabilities of the IOS's that I had installed. He asked me if there was anything I could do about it and I haven't been around the modding scene for quite a while, so I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what the current IOS's are and which ones I need to put on the Wii after the most recent Nintendo update?

Thanks in advance.

Would I have to load priiloader each and every time I wanted to play a game? Or would I just have to do it once and it would work from that point on? And if its just a one time install, how do I install it, and set the region free option up?

priiloader is just a one-time thing.

I'm assuming you have the homebrew channel. so to set it up just get the latest priiloader zip from here: http://code.google.com/p/priiloader/downloads/list and copy the apps folder to the root of your sd card.
Now get the hacks_hash.ini (right click -> save as...) and save that to the root of your sd card (don't change the name).

Now just install priiloader with the HBC, then turn of the wii. Now turn it back on while holding reset. the priiloader menu will come up. Choose the system menu hacks, and then enable the hacks you want. thats it, these changes will stay unless you update your wii.

the update stubbed all the cIOS slots....delete the stubs and reinstall (use Modmii (link in my sig) if you don't have the means....grab your flavor of choice for cIOS (feel free to use my setup in my sig if you're lost) and MMM to install them)

Just use Xflak's ModMii program (it stickied) and when you run it, go in to the modmii wizard. If your friend still has the homebrew channel, then say your wii is not a virgin. If the update wiped out the homebrew channel and you have no way of loading apps, say your wii is a virgin. The rest should be straight forward.

Theres this guy with a new wii.

It apparently is already at 4.3e

When he wants to enter the shopping channel, the wii sends him to the system menu to perform an update

whats up with that?

He's afraid he wont be able to hack it afterwards

Whats that update that keeps comming up?

 

[XFlak]

just because your on 4.3 doesn't mean there are not files that need updating on the Wii. All it takes is one IOS on his Wii with a version # that is less than the most recent version and it will prompt u for an update.

 

[Clydefrosch]

So to reassure that guy, no matter what update is comming to his wii right now, lego indiana jones will still hack it, right?

 

[XFlak]

that is correct. The only exception would be if nintendo released 4.4 minutes ago. But I just emulated an update using nus downloader and it's still getting 4.3, so don't worry, 4.4 is not out yet.

Btw, if I were u (or your friend) I wouldn't even bother doing an official update, just use ModMii, it will simultaneously update and softmod your Wii.

Thing is, he's still ordering that Lego Game.
And I'm just suck and tired of that connection embassador thing and want it to be over already. thats why i need him to get into the shopping channel.

And he's all "I want to be save!"
