yes use modmii and istall ciosx-rev21d2x base 56 in slot 249
It's hardmodded, so cIOS's won't do him any good. Use ModMii to download and install all the latest vanilla IOS's and install them with a wad manager. If you want a guide on it, I wrote one here.
Not necesarily true. If readix plans on only playing backup discs from the disc channel, then you are correct, he will not benefit from installing a cIOS and could benefit from installing the latest vanilla IOSs. However, there's nothing stopping him from installing a cIOS and using a usb-loader... which, in my opinion, is better than any method of playing a backup disc.

Lol, there is no indication that the user has a softmod beyond the HBC. I agree that USB is far better than disc loading, but since the user only mentioned a modchip and the HBC, it is logical that he is using backup discs.

I was reading a bit about SNEEK and NAND emulation...now it seems i can run WADs from my usb loader instead of system memory with one option but I can't play games from it. There seems to be different setting reguarding SD, system memory and USB loader.

Now can I switch NAND emulation mode quickly so I can keep playing my games from my USB drives and WADs as well by simply alternating mode or something?

So far I'm running everything from the USB in FAT32 and My Wii is a 4.3 (Black one) I ran Modmii with pretty much all default options during install as well.

Its just that I have too much WADs and added to all the savegames + some games DLC (like just dance 2 free songs my gf downloaded) are too much for the system memory.



EDIT: Or maybe i just totally misunderstood the SNEEK NAND emulation concept at all lol I need some light shed onto this

Seems like my question was forgotten

Any insight on this?

Use ModMii, from the Main Menu, enter "S", then enter "3", then I recommend "UD"... from there, read everything. ModMii will ask some more questions and give u some basic info on s/uneek.

After doing that, if u still have questions let us know!

When people say something like "cios249 base 56", what does that exactly mean?
A cIOS is a modification of an official IOS. cIOS249 base 56 means it is a mod if IOS56, and is installed into slot 249. Usually you would also say the version of the installer. For example, "cIOS222[38]v4" means:
Base IOS: IOS38
Installer version: v4
Slot: 222

I have a question. How do you see the disc artwork in configurable usb loader? I have some disc covers in the disc folder but I cant seem to find the option to see them.

With the latest version of Cfg, select the game and at the bottom you should be able to change what type of cover is displayed.

I guess I've been looking too hard or for too long, I have the homebrew channel and my friend did that for me, I was wondering how to get Netflix and Opera channel since I can't update. and wanted to find out how could I install those 2 channels without updating the system since I already backed up all my games and 2 lazy now to chance DVDs. I have all my games on my HDD. I am pretty good at everything else in regards of uploading games to my hard drive but the channels I cannot get and would love too, don't really care about WiiWare, mostly those 2 channels as that would be what I would use the most.

does anybody have a tutorial I can follow, link or anything? I looked everywhere online on google and the search feature here, then tried to look at treads but cant seem to find anything.

anyones help is greatly appreciated, I don't play much wii anymore but those two feature I will/would still use.

Use either ModMii or Softmod ANY Wii to do a full softmod. You will update your Shop Channel and block updates with Priiloader.

The first one is much faster, but the second has a lot more brick protection. Choose whichever you want.

I found away to make new bases for channels, an it gives more options of the way channels are, most of the older channels are recycled. found this out using porta pack an customize mii. so i found a new way to make a base app. with out having to write my own code. using crap3.3, show me wads an costomize mii . so were would i put this info? made my first channel using this an it worked, an looks cool an nice to see a different "spin" on home brew channels.

thanks for the quick answer, I'll try it and come back if i have any problems...

I'll also update if successful. (the answer not the Wii)

EDIT: well I think I am in bad luck, I am on v4.2 and have a mac so I am very limited on software available, before my friend installed the homebrew channel he left the back ups on my computer and reading through some of the tutorials I read that putting the .wad file in the folder and then using the wad manager would work but no luck so far.

Follow Softmod ANY Wii then. The only Windows program for that is md5summer.exe, and you can use this instead. I've included it in a couple of my guides because it's easy to use.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • 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.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    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)
