Hacking Preloader 0.30 is out

[wiiman123]

Cool release.

If they fixed the endless disc spin this is a must-have for me :3

 

[laurozza]

why remove usb support...damn...

 

[Retrievil]

Can someone who installed it verify if they fixed the disc spinning issue?

My understanding was the whole point of Preloader is to load before the system menu to avoid any updates like 4.2 causing irreversible issues down the road. If I have a problem (or a brain fart), I just reload from my SD card backup and I'm good to go again. It's the whole reason I installed it in the first place. Am I correct in this assumption?

Does anyone know if Nintendo can override Preloader like it did with Bootmii and the HBC on the 4.2 update? Does it reside in boot1 or boot2? The reason I ask is I read Nintendo can change boot2, but not boot1.

Preloader is not there to stop system updates but more for brick protection from some disk updates and banner bricks. it is useless against a Ninty system update

Good to know, thanks. I thought if I updated something by mistake I could just use Preloader to load an old backup to go back to an older working version. That is the main reason I installed it anyway. Well that and automatically blocking disc updates.

How do you install a new hacks.ini (not changing the version of preloader itself). Also, where is hacks.ini stored after installation?

You just replace your old one with a new one in the root of your sd card

 

[bnm81002]

how do you auto update Preloader? thanks

 

[wiiman123]

Any one know when the file is going to be posted?

Really? To me that implies that the hacks.ini file is read off the SD card each time it runs, but it isn't, because the hacks are still present even without the SD card inserted.

Huh, the updater tells me IOS 60 has the fakesign bug and something else (screen cuts off the message), and I can't update. I'm pretty sure my IOS 60 was not fakesigned. :s

I still got this problem.

I really like preloader, I'm using 0.29 since it's out.

So, could someone please help me?

I just don't know, what I did wrong before.

As far as I am aware it reads from the sd card when you go into the settings menu (delete the hacks.ini and try to modify the hacks settings)

After applying the hack preloder modifies something so the hacks are stored so the SD card is not needed but will be if you want to modify the hacks

Mine doesn't autoupdate either...Never seen an option for that in my life. I can't find any .30 on wiibrew either...where is the update? It lists .30 as the most recent version, but it says .29 is the most recent download available.

Can someone please just link us to the download already?

 

[noobwarrior7]

lightyear, you misunderstand.

supposedly at this time, it is only available via autoupdate, which IS customary of crediar, he has done that with all recent releases, wait awhile before actual dol is released.

I simply can't verify anyone in the US has been able to do so.

 

[Rfire]

How long do you let preloader 0.29 sit before it updates to 0.30? I have it sitting 3 hours and see nothing yet

 

[noobwarrior7]

lol it previously hasnt taken more than 2 minutes for me, on any connection.

 

[illinialex24]

Cool, I really hope he releases a .dol soon.

 

[lightyear]

so how do I get the update then if mine doesn't give the option???
