Have you realy read that page here? Do it, please...As far as I know, all hacks from the hacks.ini are in Startpatch (Including your Example). Maybe you should read first next time...

Here's a quick guide, using your example:

Here's the preloader code:

Code:
[Disable HAXX,DVDX,RZDx deletion]
version=481
offset=0x813345A0
value=0x60000000

From this we take the offset (813345A0), and subract 8132FAE0 from it using a hex calculator (you can use Windows Calculator for this). This gives you 4AC0, which is the first part of the StartPatch hack after the name. The next part of the StartPatch hack is the original value in the System Menu (before it is patched). To find this, open the dol of the System Menu you are converting patch for in a hex editor, and go to the offset (StartPatch version, in this case 4AC0). Here you will find 48 03 2D 3D. This is the next section of the StartPatch patch. Just add 0x before each byte (2 digits), and put a comma between each byte. The final section of the StartPatch patch is just the value section of the preloader hack. Again, 0x before byte and comma betwen bytes. All that remains is to format this all correctly, as follows:

Code:
{"Disable HAXX, DVDX, RZDX Checks"},
0x4AC0,
{
0x48, 0x03, 0x2D, 0x3D
},
{
0x60, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
},
4

(the 4 is the length of the patch, in this case 4 (48 03 2D 3D - 4 bytes))

Then you can add this to StartPatch. add it to patches.h, compile and I think it should then work, without you needing to modify any other file.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
