Hacking NSMB Disk?

[Jampashley1996]

Will New Super Mario Bros. Wii work from disk (no patch) when my wii is updated using Pimp My Wii
using Neogamma R8 final and IOS249 (Rev 19)

Yes? I have not tried but i do not see why it would not...

 

[Nintendo_Chick]

Why would you even ask that before trying?

neogamma comes with *.wip files to get around the protection for NSMB. All you need is a working cIOS249 and Neogamma (w/ *.wip files) and it should work automatically (provided your wii is even capable of playing burned discs).

Or u could hex edit the main.dol of the ISO so that the game will work even without *.wip files (required if the game is being played via darkcorp/disc channel or if you do not always have an SD card to load the *.wip file). If u search for it, u should find a post by WiiCrazy (I think) outlining exactly what values need to be hex edited. Just extract the main.dol using wiiscrubber, open it in a hex editor, change it, save it, replace the main.dol with the modified one. Done

edit: in the hex editor, open the main.dol and replace all mentions of
94 21 FF D0
with
4e 80 00 20

why not get a portable HDD and wiiflow instead?

You extract the main.dol and patch it with Generic Wii Patcher + the .wip file.

Hmm doesn't Waninkoko's cIOS look at a certain offset for the BCA data? If yes putting that manually into the .iso would work too.

PS: I thought the latest cIOS (19+20) automatically return the correct BCA data for NSMB, could somebody confirm this?
