Wait until I reload the files to include CW Manager (tomorrow).

From the looks of it, if you updated and you don't have any cIOS installed, you must use CW Manager.

Otherwise you can just use the standard WAD Manager 1.3.

ok i downgraded with this method and it worked gr8 tyvm, but i seem to be experiencing a strange and quite irritating problem, this problem came sometime between when i first updated to 3.3Ev2 to when i downgraded back to 3.2E.

im looking for a solution whereby i have a dvd inside my wii, i load the homebrew channel and my wii doesnt try reading the dvd right after i click start on the homebrew channel.

problem: turn on wii, dvd drive is spinning (so far so normal) i click on homebrew channel, i click start, right after that, screen goes black and disc stops reading immediately (still normal), the screen stays black and the dvd drive tries reading dvd again, stops trying to read dvd wait 10 seconds then homebrew channel finally comes up.

this migth seem like nothing but imagine u had to do this each and every single time you wanted to play a game and while its spinnin ur thinkin "OH FOR **** SAKE WATS THE ****IN POINT OF SPINNIN AGAIN FFS!!!"

also ive noticed its not jsut the homebrew channel, its with the ocarina wad as well and the wiishop channel except for the wii shop channel, its stops reading the disk wen i press start within 2 seconds it starts reading again and after about 5 seconds the channel appears and the disk continues spinning

RG

Ok, I have all the cIOS that I am supposed to have. I installed them and when I go to do the Cios Downgrader 1.0 is says

error -1 on all the files. Im pretty sure I did everything you said. I do have 3.4 and want to downgrade to 3.2 like many other

people. I have everything else working. Wads, Homebrew, VC all that fun stuff just not the downgrades. Just curious whats Im

doing wrong. Thank you

As RGHawk said... If we have a new Wii that came with fw 3.3U and upgraded to 3.4U without ever having the HBC installed is there any way to work around this fw 3.4U?

Does a burn copy of Zelda works? If I wanted to install HBC on 3.4U to be able to downgrade assuming that there's a way around fw 3.4U without ever having HBC installed...

Nintendo Wii Firmware : 3.3U updated to 3.4U

Mods : No Mods/No Chips

I'm thinking of installing HBC through the guide listed and following the rest of the guide to downgrade and fixing whatever is needed. I never had HBC installed at all...

Will I be able to do it with FW 3.4U?

I have all the necessary files except having the game The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess
Do I need a real copy of the game? I'm located in the USA.

Yes you can install the Homebrew on 3.4X. The Zelda Disc can be a copy too. Just as long as the Wii can boot one of the Zelda Discx (doesn't matter what region).

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
