Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[Mike768]

Looks like you got this answered on another thread so sorry in being so slow to answer but I remember getting the same error when installing mine the first time and just like you I had darkcorp installed (I bought my wii used so I didn't know it.) After reinstalling a few ios's I got it to work. Glad you got it fixed.

No problem and thanks. Yeah I just had to re-install the IOS58 wad. Im just puting that there incase someone else reads this one and has the same problem.

Hi all, 1st time poster, long time reader, I have a 4.2E softmodded with an old guide, I use UsbLoader, my query is I want to remove all softmods and start fresh with out all clutter, what is the best way to do this?

Thanks, have looked at this earlier, should I use 4.3 or stay with 4.2?

Edit: Just noticed, I have a 4.1E not 4.2, so question is should I go 4.2 or 4.3?

 

[PsyBlade]

the common suggestion is to "stay with whatever you have if you have 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, or update to 4.1 if you have a lower version"

which of the there doesnt matter much imho
they only differ in what hacks you can use to hack them, which does not really matter to you

A while ago, I followed a standard guide to mod my Wii to play games off a external hard drive. Today I forgot that the official updates can mess with homebrew, so I updated today to 4.3U. This made my usb loader freeze at its title screen. To get it to work again, should I just follow a new guide to mod a version 4.3 Wii, or is there some way to undo an accidental update like this? The reason I ask is that I have modded my Wii before, so I don't know if messing with already modded system files would cause any trouble.

Forget the guides. ModMii is the answer you seek. Link here.

Thanks a lot

Hi.. Noob here

Hey you will want to install IOS58 and update your cIOSes. The recommended cIOS is d2x

you can simply install IOS58 here: http://wiibrew.org/w...IOS58_Installer

you can learn more about d2x here: http://code.google.c.../How_To_Install

After you install IOS58, you should reinstall/update your HBC...


alternatively (and the easy way)
you can download modmii, and they have a feature that will read the contents of your syscheck, and generate a guide telling you how to update. there is a link in my signature for modmii

Done and done

I just updated through HBC since I know how it works. First time I have heard of modmii, but I rather stick with what I have experience with

Thanks for the help

Here is this new report. everything looking A-Okay?

and 1 other thing.

Is a DVD drive hard to change?
My DVD drive is dead >_

 

[JoostinOnline]

Almost everything is out of date. Resoftmod using ModMii.

As for changing a DVD drive, I don't think it's that difficult as long as you know what you are doing, although I have never done it myself.

 

[Bahamuth]

Almost everything is out of date. Resoftmod using ModMii.

Crap >_> Can't I just use syscheck update to get it up to date?

And I can't install Modmii.

I just get the error "Cannot Create Dialogue Box"
And I'm the admin.

Possible you could list what IOSes that needs an update?
I rather just do it through HBC instead of having to sit down with a load of problems as I have no idea how modmii works

EDIT: Also does my wii boot on IOS 249 or 250?

your wii boots on IOS60? cuz you have system menu 4.1

Okay, I so does ti change anything if I install USB loader GX 249 or 250 build?

 

[VampireLordAlucard]

Everybody on GBAtemp seems to hate it, but I find using Pimp My Wii the easiest way to update everything.

Boot it up in homebrew channel, run a scan, and it'll update all IOS/cIOS to latest version.


Pimp My Wii can be updated from within itself. I'll occasionally boot up my Wii, update Pimp My Wii, and run a scan to keep everything up-to-date.

 

[XFlak]

For starters it requires a wifi connection on your wii which not everyone has. It will never be a complete softmod solution as it cannot help you run an exploit or install\update the HBC\bootmii. It also wont get you to make a nand backup which is especially troubling because it has bricked many wii's in the past (which is how it got the name "Brick My Wii"). By all means you're entitled to your opinion, but there is reason why almost everybody everywhere (not just gbatemp) seems to hate it.

I think most people who use\like pimp my wii have never tried ModMii. If you haven't tried ModMii, I encourage to try it before promoting pimp my wii any further. If after trying it out, you still prefer pimp my wii, well, as I said earlier you're entitled to your opinion.

I can't install Modmii.

It doesn't run on Windows 3.1

I'm gonna stick with your opinion and stay away from "pimp my wii"
Google gave to many brick results.

And found the issue with modmii not installing. Avast was blocking by opening modmii in a sandbox

It doesn't run on Windows 3.1

haha not helpful at all

 

[docoweatpie]

Hey, can someone help me please? I was using Any Title Deleter and was looking thru the System Channels. I saw two Photo channels: 00010002-HAAA Photo Channel and 00010002-HAYA Photo Channel 1.1. I thougth I had duplicate Photo channels, so I removed the 00010002-HAAA Photo Channel. Big mistake, because I don't see the Photo Channel in my System Menu anymore. So my question is how can I get back 00010002-HAAA Photo Channel? Thank you in advance.

Don't ever suggest Brick My Wii again. Even if it was safe, it installs a terrible setup.

 

[Coto]

Yeah, if in the middle of the cIOS installation fails, or something bad happens. It gets stuck.
