Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[Carro179]

Hi. I'm not so noob, since I have successfully used several Homebrew and backup loaders for years now, but I didn't found a better place to put this. My Wii was working perfectly untill yesterday, when I tried to play Wii Fit. It said "An error has occurred" and stuff. As instructed, ejected the disc, turned off the console, and tried again. Same. Another game, same error. Occurred with all my games. Used SysCheck and everything seemed normal. I even can use GameCube games. What can I do?

Hello.

That is sad to hear that your Wii is now on "strike".

If it is ok for you,could we please take a look at your sysCheck anyway ?
Only to get 100 percent sure your Softmod is in the right "shape".
Thank you.

Hello.

Thank you for your sysCheck.

According from ModMiis update suggestings you can please update your
- Game cIOSes
- PRIILOADER,a Brick protection and "life Saver" for you and your Wii (if you do not have it installed already)
- a lot of System IOSes

For your GAME issues the main priority is at the moment to update:


The most used by the games
- cIOS249 - This is used for USB loading for d2x and Waninkoko's IOS
- cIOS250 - This is used for USB loading for d2x and Waninkoko's IOS

and please also the remaining custom IOSes
- cIOS202 - This is used for media playing apps/for high speed USB peripherals
- cIOS222 - This is used for USB Loading for Hermes' IOS
- cIOS223 - This is used for USB Loading for Hermes' IOS
- cIOS224 - This is used for USB Loading for Hermes' IOS

and

- IOS236 installer Mod - Installs a patched IOS 36 in Slot 236.Programs that do not support HW_AHBPROT can then modify the NAND.

But I would recommend to do a FULL update as suggested because your Softmod seems a little "outdated".

You can do this simply with ModMii Update option "SU" on the Main Page or
DRAG and DROP your sysCheck.csv (please rename it to this) on the ModMii.exe in the installed Directory or on the Shortcut on the Desktop (after you installed ModMii) on your PC.

Here is the Support Thread with the download:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/modmii-for-windows-official-support-topic.207126/

(Please read also carefully the generated Guide how ti achive this ).

Which option you choose is your desicion.

Good Luck.

Will that solve my problem of not being able to read discs? Thanks!

Thank you to pointing me at THAT.
Are your Games original DVDs or backups please ?

 

[Carro179]

Original discs

 

[Alexander1970]

Original discs

Is THIS the full message ?

an error has occurred please press the eject button and remove the disk

 

[Carro179]

Is THIS the full message ?

an error has occurred please press the eject button and remove the disk

Yup

 

[Alexander1970]

Yup

OK,then maybe a simple solution is:

- please check the DVDs of scratches or impurity
- maybe the Wii´s Laser is also "soiled".You can try a "blow" into the slot or better an compressed air spray.

not so simple solutions:

- something is in the Wii/some part that not belongs into the DVD Slot.Maybe a Gamecube Disc ?
- maybe the Laser is no longer working correct or is broken

You can disassemble the Wii to check this.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Thanks again that you pointed out to me.
I have unfortunately given the wrong advice in the beginning.
I'm sorry, that was my mistake.
Thank you.

Well, there is no GameCube disc there, because I have played those discs well. The laser is working, because the GameCube games working well. The Wii discs are not scratched. I have cleaned them, and it´s with all my discs. With Brawl, the loading screen stays a long time, and then that message apears in the Brawl-Exclusive green screen.
Edit: No need to apologize!

 

[Alexander1970]

This error is very common,even on newers Wii´s,
when the Wii came out.
Some Users report after they use a Cleaning Kit it works again with Wii discs.
But also many of them reported: Thats it....

Well... 10 years well served, I guess. Thanks, anyways

 

[Alexander1970]

Did you start your Wii discs from within an USBLoader or booting from Wii´s System Menu please ?

 

[Carro179]

Tried both, but also didn´t work.

 

[Alexander1970]

Hello.

Did you have PRIILOADER installed (I am not 100 percent sure of that,ModMii maybe suggested an update because you have an older vesion of it) ? If yes maybe please have a look on its HACKS in the settings.

Autoboot Game
Instead of the System Menu the game disc will be booted.
Disc autostart
Same as above.

Maybe with these settings on you been able to start a Game directly.

Thank you.

 

[Carro179]

I got no Priiloader. Maybe need to install it

Hi, I've posted this in my own thread but I'm not sure whether or not I'll get quicker help if I post here. If this is considered a double post, feel free to delete this.

As a brief preface, I buy used Wiis for cheap, and own 6 Wiis. My newest Wii had a non-functioning disc drive (it wasn't able to properly seat an inserted game because of physical damage done by a dime) so I decided to unplug the power cable and make myself a silent Wii. Here is the cable I unplugged.

Spoiler

And here is a video comparing a normal Wii with my silent Wii: http://sendvid.com/66gxmcvg

Now, I used ModMii to hack my Wii, just as I have my 5 previous consoles. The Wii functioned fine, but I noticed that if I start a game via USB loader, go to home menu, and start another game, there is a chance the Wii will give me "An error has occurred. Press the Eject button etc.....".
My exact test involved starting Sonic Colors, going home, starting Sonic Colors again, going home, starting Sonic Colors again, crash. Also tried with Brawl and Sonic and the Black Knight in the mix, starting each until a crash. Upon a restart, it works fine for the first few times before a crash again.

I've made a sysCheck.csv last night which I have attached to this post. Since then, I've downloaded SystemMenu_4.3U_v513 from ModMii as well as Region-Select-NUS-v2 and installed them to my Wii using MultiModManager, first the menu, tested, didn't fix, then the region, tested, didn't fix.

I recall the Wii crashing when trying to launch any Wii game when the drive was fully unplugged. That is why I plugged in the ribbon cable, and left the other cable which controlled the motors unplugged, so the Wii would still detect the drive and thus not crash. Thus, if the drive was the cause here, I'd expect it to crash 100% of the time, not once after every 2 or 3 game launches.

Can someone give me advice on what I can do to fix these random crashes? It would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully the previous owner had messed up something hack-related so I can continue using my Wii with the disc drive unplugged.

Hello.

This is maybe useful for you:

As you said:

You need at least the control board from the drive to be connected.
All games still access the drive and expect something to be returned even though the drive is defective.

Hi, thanks for your response!

Is the big silver ribbon cable not sufficient for the wii detecting the drive? I was under the assumption that the cable I unplugged merely powered the motors to insert/eject the disc.

As I said, games do launch. They crash sometimes. I'm under the impression that a completely unplugged drive will make games crash every time, so if that does not occur, would the issue lie on the unplugged cable, or might it be something else?
