Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[KleinesSinchen]

Hello, I was a fan of Darkcorp and never had an issue back in the day. Do you know what files are needed apart from the ones in the "lite" pack? I never discard anything and I know I have the wads in a folder just need to know which ones they are I was not the best at organizing and thought wiihacks.com would be around forever LOL ..... I haven't modded a wii in so long and want to run discs from disc channel, yes I know usbs etc... but disc is what I want.


Thanks !!!

File name list with md5sums from a DarkCorp v1.1 package I found somewhere. To my surprise there were ready-to-use .wad files and not only patches which makes distributing this a big "no-no" (copyright).

Spoiler: File name list with md5sums

There is also an "apps" folder containing (supposedly) the installer which did nothing besides black screen on my Wii – as already mentioned.
I've no idea what files – and if every single of them – is needed and don't feel comfortable when thinking of replacing almost(?) all IOS with cIOS.

Why not try the priiloader hack to force ios 249 on the disc channel? Then make sure u have d2x v8 final base 57 installed to slot 249 and give it a try. Maybe you can replicate the issue the last person was having, but even he was able to run most games this way it was just one particular title that was giving him problems.

If u want darkcorp files I can't help you there. They're available online if u know where to look but it's against gbatemp policy to be linking to that sort of thing

Hi,
I recently have purchased a Nintendo Wii. Please anyone please suggest me a guide to mod my Wii? Also.. once the console is modded am I able to play Wii games from an SD card? Which site has the rich Wii games collection?

Don’t use 000webhostapp use netlify instead... (or use github pages)

That was a very good One.
I think our Friend @XFlak will like it for sure.

https://wii.guide/

And since you're new here and have read the rules, you know better than to ask where to get Wii games.

You won’t find any iso’s here as it is against the rules, although you can convert your allready owned games and download them to your wii so you don’t have to carry discs everywhere... I would recommend using ModMii

Hi, I'm having trouble with neek2o.

I have been using my modded Wii with Letterbomb, HBC, CFW and USBLoader GX. This week I have been installing some wads in USBLoader GX emunand, and while some work, many don't. So reading on it, I see it's suggested to use neek mode on the USBLoader GX. Trying to install neek2o, I followed @Cyan 's guide (in a thred titled Driver San Francisco hangs in loading screen, being new to the forums I can't post links) while also checking on this other guide (in digital kaos forums, one of the first results googling for installing neek2o). However, in the step where modmii should install SNEEK, I get the error "Unable to connect to the internet and no neek2o versions saved locally".
My internet connection works, and I temporarily added ModMii.exe to the firewall exceptions, so I don't know how to move on from here. Any suggestion?

A second questions is: I have been trying to get microphone working on USBLoader GX games, but I have pretty much given up on that. If I use the disk version of singing games before loading USBLoader GX, should I expect to be able to use USB microphones or guitar dongles without a problem? Could I use a USB hub or should I also remove the USB hdd if i want to use a second USB microphone/guitar?

Thanks!

 

[XFlak]

Try adding the whole modmii folder to the list of exceptions (modmii uses many supporting cmd line exe's that could be getting blocked either by anti-virus and/or firewall)

Hey this is kind of a dumb thing to ask. I've tried to get wad creator to work but it just dosen't for me and I also dont want to brick my wii. Can anyone make me a wad channel forwarder that is just the channel and has no game of Fortnite. I just wanna have it to prank my cousin.

Here you go, this should attempt to load /apps/fortnite/boot.dol using IOS58. I haven't tested to see what happens myself due to a complication with my system, but it *seems* to not brick or anything like that. However, I can't guarantee that it won't, so, take the necessary precautions (Priiloader)

Anyways, it's not a really quality thing, it has no sound or animations, just a banner + icon, but if your cousin doesn't know much about Wii Homebrew, then s/he may fall for it.

Happy pranking

Edit: I honestly could've done a better job, I'll make a better version in a bit.

Edit 2: I've replaced the old one with the new one, this uses a better icon, although still untested.

Hey everyone! I cannot for the life of me get my Wii Games to load (normally) from any and all USB Backup Loaders.

To start, I used https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/hacking-guide & wii.guide

I installed all of the CIOSes (SysCheck here: https://pastebin.com/X67gptyu)

I'm using a FAT32 SSD and I have it powered externally.

---What happens with USB Loader GX--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so when I use USB Loader GX, I get the dreaded "USB Not Initialized" error with the Loader IOS set to 249. I still get the Waiting for HDD even with the Loader IOS set to 58, but then USB Loader GX Shows my games. Then, When I use IOS 248, 249, and 250, I get a black screen and it either freezes or sends me back to the Homebrew Channel/Wii Menu. I have tried both USB ports and both give me the same problem. I have 8+ games and I used Wii Backup Manager for them all, and even tested them with Dolphin Emulator just to see if they work. The problem with this is that, 1 I can't get anything below Just Dance 2017 to work, and most of the games freeze randomly and play a weird buzzing sound.

--What happens with CFG------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For CFG, I can't even get my drive to be recognized without it saying "USB Device not responding retry 1... 2... 3..." This is the least working one as I can't even get it to list my games. I did try both USB ports.

--What happens with WiiFlow--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With WiiFlow, I actually got it to display my games on the first try, but when I click play, sometimes I get the white loading bar that freezes, The game loads but freezes like USB Loader GX, or the game loads but I get a "reading disc.. ." error forever, and sometimes I even get a Exception (DSI) occurred and a bunch of text. Once again, the games won't load with anything except IOS 251 (which is impractical) Once again, I tried both USB ports.

I hope that I gave enough information, and I can provide more if you guys need anything. TIA!

Hello.

Thank you for your Informations on your Wii.

Your sysCheck is good,the Game/USBLoader related cIOS are ok.

So that you have Issues on all three Loaders my Thoughts goes in the SSD/Enclosure Direction.

Your SSD is formatted with FAT32,very good.

Please be sure you use the correct Port 0:


Please also check your SSD HDD is recognized as MBR Drive and NOT as GPT !


Please check that your SSD has only ONE Partition on it.

Please try IOS 58 too on your Loader´s IOS.
(Global Settings -> Loader Settings -> Loader´s IOS)

If that all is checked,please be so kind and report back.

Thank you and
Good Luck.

Thank you for your response! I made sure everything was like you said, and I still can't boot games with IOS 249 or 250. I made sure my drive was MBR and only 1 partition. Using IOS 58 as the loader shows my games, but like I said before I can't boot them.

Would you be so kind and tell me which Games you have tried please ?
They maybe need "special" Settings....

Alright so these are my games and what happens when booting with IOS 251

• Just Dance 1 (Works flawlessly)
• Just Dance 2 (It froze once but AFAIK it still works)
• Just Dance 2014 NTSC-U if that helps (Won't boot at all, already downloaded another WBFS file so it's not the file)
• Just Dance 2015 (Doesn't work at all, ^^^^^)
• Just Dance 2016 (See above)
• Just Dance 2017 (Sometimes boots, but when it does it almost always freezes and plays an annoying buzzing sound, also redownloaded it)
• Just Dance 2018 (Works flawlessly)
• Just Dance 2019 (Works fine)
• Just Dance 2020 (Works fine)
• Wii Play (Works fine)
• Wii Play Motion (Works fine)
• Animal Crossing: City Folk (Works fine)
• Wii Sports (Takes forever to load into actual sports, but other than that it works)
• Mario Party 9 (Works fine)

Thanks again!

USBLoader GX is set to IOS 249.
I am also using an SSD in an Enclosure but only with USB connected.

- Just Dance 2014 NTSC
At the first try on "Use global" Settings it did not Boot (Black Screen).
Tried it with cIOS 250/251/248/247/222/223 - still no Success.
Then I reverted back to "Use global" and ..since then it boots.
Also have to deactivate "Nand Emulation" because the Save Game is corrputed after every Re-Boot.

- Just Dance 2016 NTSC works on "Use global" Settings.No Changes needed.

- Just Dance 2015 and 2017 I have only ---the PAL Versions.
Both Games works with "Use global" Settings.No Changes needed.

- Just Dance 2 - I only have the Extra Songs PAL Version.
Works also on "Use Global" Settings without Changes.

I will try to get the NTSC Versions of this 3 Games.

- Wii Sports NTSC works with the "Use global" Settings and no Changes.
It takes 3 Seconds to the Reminder Screen (with the Safety Tips for the Wii Motion Controller) another 4 Seconds to the Wii Sports Title Screen and 1 Second into the Menu.

I tried those settings and I still can't boot from IOS 249. Maybe there's something wrong with the d2x installer
