Already have hacks.ini loaded with USA v4.0 in the root of my sd card. This does not work.

Also, it does remove the warning screen. but it doesn't do sd region free or remove the background music. So I can confirm at least one hack is working. Why not the rest

You gotta give us more information. What makes you say the hacks doesn't work? The hacks setting ain't showing anything or enabled hacks doesn't work?

Regardless, follow TPG

well I'm on 3.2 and not all the hacks work either, and this is a known issue from a long ago, cause the patches made thru preloader are just theorical values, and apparently wrong ones..!!

The fact that the systemmenu hacks when enabled do not have any effect makes me say they don't work.

follow TPG? What is TPG?

I'm not sure. I've tested the movable disc channel hack and the no bgm (I did not enable this though which is strange lol) and they work fine.

TPG = The Preloader Guide. If you'd check my sig, you'd see the acronyms

Regardless, I think you should start over. Follow TPG

What sm are you on?

Same as you, 4.0U and I'm using the hacks.ini from that link I posted above. I will probably do some more testing later although I always use freethewads if I can't find ntsc so if that one doesn't work it won't really be a problem.

I just tried a quick test of no bgm again and it does not work for me either. I'm thinking some just don't work like ether says.

Well I fiddled around with tpg and for some reason it started working. Moving the disc channel and the no bgm (yes! no more forgetting to turn it off and realizing I spent 30 minutes on the computer being hypnotized by the ringing) both work. I can't say what did it. I set the system ios to 36 when it started working, but then I can set it back to 60 and it still works. so maybe try ios36 in the preloader for a go to see if that fixes them if you're having the same problem. If that works, report here.

Success!

Ha, I changed ios to 36 and then back to ios60 and no bgm works for me now too. Let's hope everything else got fixed too.

Add this to the tpg guide!

Edit: I'm testing my channels on the sd back to the system memory and it turns out the ones that say "This channel can't be used." are actually corrupted. It has nothing to do with SD region free. I'm getting a hold of PAL and NTSC-J channels to put on my SD to confirm that this hack does work. Will report back very soon on the result.

EditEdit: Turns out some of them were corrupted, but in fact the SD region free mod does not work as some nonNTSC channels give "This channel can't be used". I'll keep trying.

Well, the creator of the guide has already posted here so we'll see how it goes.

I'm interested to see if ether can get his working using the method as well.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
