Yes, some hacks need more than 1 patching value to be applied.
But in the new hacks.ini format, they can be grouped together so they show up as 1 single option.

Well, thanks, but I'm still don't know what to do.
I was followes this guide: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144835 with two Wiis, but got the same results with preloader. Now I found out hack.ini was an USA version and I download the EUR 4.0 version. Ok. clear. But where is the hack remover? (And also I've got 0.29 Preloader, and never used hacks before, what I have to remove?!) Ok, I'm know I'm a noob, and also Google is not my friend, everytime I'm searching for hack remover I've got "Hack remover not working" or "hack' or "remover" but no download.. Help me, Hint me, save me! T_T Thanks.

Hi, sorry to bring up this old topic but... I'm having the same problems too.

I had installed Preloader v0.28
The hacks.ini could not be found. They were in the root of my SDHC card
So I ran Hack Remover, but when it reboot, it autobooted to preloader...
So then I decided to just run preloader v0.29 over all of it, and my systemmenu still say 'couldn't be found on NAND or (whatever the generic error msg was)'. My preloader menu now reads v0.29 though.

WHY isn't it working!?

Thanks.

EDIT: Also, when i go to load/install file, it says NO SD CARD...

SDHC does not work for Preloader. Gotta get yourself a generic SD Card

AHH. *Enlightenment*

Thanks =DD

But like, after this, I can just always use the SDHC, right? After I just set the settings/hacks?

EDIT: Except if I do brick my wii, I'd need to put stuff on an SD to recover it, seeing as Preloader doesn't read SDHC......?

Yep. Everything should work.
EDIT: Not really. You just have to boot to HBC and run the necessary apps. That's all you need.

Hmm Thanks.

One more questions (=3):

After installing softmii, my gcn RETAIL and backups don't work anymore. The system recognizes them, but after clicking 'start', it flashes, then i'm back to the health warning screen...

How do I fix it? (I want to play my retail GCN games at the least...)

EDIT: wait, nvm it works now O_O

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
