Use Modmii to re-mod your wii. It should install all needed IOS. Play your games with Neogamma R9 beta.

Random quick question, is DVD Dumper 1.3 still the best way to backup Wii discs via WiFi? I don't have an SD card large enough, so I have been using DVD Dumper 1.1 to make my backups. I just found out that v1.3 is out and was wondering if I should update to 1.3 or if there is something else better by now?
Nothing else that uses wifi, as far as I know. If you use a usb loader to rip the disks then it will trim them to the smallest size, as opposed to making them always 4.7gb
And if you have a USB hard drive, or get an sd card that is big enough, I would upgrade to cleanrip

Your still using GAMMA??? thats ancient! Definitely switch to neogamma and what do you mean what should I force? If you have to force anything, than just force the console default.

I recently bought and softmodded a 4.3U wii and everything works but VC/WW/etc. SD loading. I went and got the Patched IOS80 in wad form and just wanted to know if this is right.

Download patched IOS80 (IOS80-64-v6944[FS-ES-NP].wad) and put it in wad folder
flash with a wad manager(use IOS236 to install?)

I`m pretty sure that`s right but just wanted to make sure
also, this wont mess up priiloader,etc. will it other than the obvious brick risk

 

[Riley]

Start modmii and download the patched IOS80 from the download section. Install it with a wad manager using IOS236 / 249 / 250.

 

[Munson_Jason08]

when i download the ModMii i get to the point where i move it over to the SD card and i keep geting a (Error cant copy IOS13-64-v1032: THE DEVICE CANT BE PREFORMED BECAUSE OF AN I/O DEVICE ERROE) can anyone help me with this?

 

[XFlak]

there should be a switch on your sd card, make sure it is unlocked

 

[Munson_Jason08]

ya its unlocked. it should fit on a 2gb sd card right?

All my mods work great. I just wanted some clarification on the priiloader setting to use a different ios for system menu. I have 4.2u and ios58 installed. I notice that my forwarder channels (emus, Crap forwarders to isos on hdd) load slower than the same app from HBC on ios58. I tried setting Priiloader to use ios58 for the system menu and it fails. This is thinking that the normal system menu ios is using USB 1 rather than 2.0.
What ios is used by default for the system menu on 4.2 and 4.3?
Would a 4.3 update use USB 2.0 on the menu?
Or is my thinking all screwey?

 

[zizer]

difference between system menu 4.0-4.3 is AP only

Yeah sorry your thinking is a little screwey.
The system menu, IS an ios. It can't run in one as the system menu itself is just an IOS.
Can't remember what version is what, but I think 4.2 which you're on it runs as ios70. In 4.3 it runs as ios80.

So you can not do what you're trying to do. Channels will load a little slower than directly from the homebrew channel as a channel is essentially another little program on its own as the forwarding is done by code. But it shouldn't really be like badly noticable or anything.

The system menu is not using usb1 or 2 as the system menu is not touching the usb port. It is only within your loader when your system has fired up custom code or a custom ios such as 249 that the usb port is available for loading.

You mean 4.1-4.3

I've got a Wii on 3.1u. It's been modified by installing the Homebrew Channel & IOS37, and that's all. When I try to play Rondo of Blood it goes to a black screen for about 5 seconds and then kicks me back to the System Menu. What the hell.

Question: is it failing because there's a hack I need to install to make newer VC games work or is this particular version of the wad retarded?

Then you have not hacked your wii. Also, 3.1? You want a later update.

Get Modmii and start again, because whatever kind of guide you are following, if it mentions ios37 and thats to do with your cios then its highly outdated.

 

[postandrun]

I installed IOS37 because Riivolution requires it and I'd rather drink a tall glass of AIDS than update from 3.1u, so there you go.

I'm just asking, is it a bad wad or do I need to apply hacks to make it work on my Wii? What's the problem with?

What I'm saying is, just installing ios37 does not mean you have any hacked ios' bar that one.
So you must have done a bit more or you wouldn't be able to install channels at all?

Why would you rather drink AIDS than upgrade to a bit more current? You don't lose anything, there are workarounds for everything now.

If you've managed to install a wad though and it shows in your channel list then it should work without any hacks. In fact if you ran a system update on wifi having "hacked" channels installed then they'd still work fine after the update.
So it must be a bad wad, or maybe a diff region?

 

[postandrun]

Bannerbomb -> Hackmii Installer -> Homebrew Channel. Wad Manager -> IOS37. Seriously, this Wii is almost virgin. It's not even a hacked version of 37.

All upgrading would do is give me some new features I don't care about while forcing me to patch the system just to make it as homebrew friendly as 3.1u was. That's kind of not a great plan.

It's supposed to be the right region and everything but I guess it could be a gimped up wad... Or maybe it's looking for an IOS that isn't there. Or maybe it's there but it's the wrong version. I don't know. Confirmation? Anybody?

How does a forwarder cfg file work? Im trying to forward the usb channel here http://gbatemp.net/t208861-wilsoff-s-anima...nnels?&st=0 to my usbloader_gx folder instead of usbloader?

Use customizemii to open the wad, and one of the options is to set up a forwarder.
NOTE: To set up complex forwarders with pictures for loading screens, forwarding to a usb drive, and multiple paths, you will need DevkitPPC and libogc.
