if anybody was curious....

[Move Disc Channel]
version=289
offset=0x813A7D88
value=0x60000000

works, ive tested it. now i dont have to use menupatcher before i install cioscorp. i cant wait to see what other hacks can be enabled this way. great brainstorming going on here guys, keep it up.

Can't we use the concept of sadmenu with preloader to autoboot sadmenu or another system menu appearance mod that patches the system menu in memory, so that we would have the effect of a customized system menu, without the fear of a banner brick?

They don't work with preloader at the moment.
and we won't release a custom menu unless we are sure it won't brick. And the requirement to use it will be 3.2 with preloader .26 or dashboard once one is released as they allow you to overwrite the system menu without affecting the brick protection

Well, once they DO work with preloader, wouldn't that be the most viable route? I haven't used sadmenu, so I don't even know if it actually works. Someone might try to get ahold of comex or marcan about it, because I seriously don't know why this wasn't developed further.

It's already done..

hey guys, looking over the hacks.ini I notice a lot of codes for system menu 290 (which I think is PAL right?) can I remove those codes since I am on NTSC?

Yes, you won't see a difference.

 

[stayingarmed]

thanks mrtank....just wanted to make sure before I ran into troubles. This will save on seeing multiples of the same hack in the options list.

 

[mrtankjump]

Actually, you will still see multiples of the same hack, they are all necessary. Preloader doesn't actually show you hacks unless the "version=XXX"(system menu) matches yours. For example, my hacks.ini has 26 hacks in it, but my system hacks menu only shows 13.

Here is my Hacks.ini
I believe there are all Lines in it for 3.2E and U that where posted/public...

Also, how you can find these anyways?

Actually, you will still see multiples of the same hack, they are all necessary. Preloader doesn't actually show you hacks unless the "version=XXX"(system menu) matches yours. For example, my hacks.ini has 26 hacks in it, but my system hacks menu only shows 13.

i was able to see PAL hacks in my hack.ini in the preloader settings, but when i set them and went to boot system menu my wii would crash(i looked in the hacks.ini and saw hacks with 290 and 289 i then deleted all the 290s and used removed hacks tool and ran preloader again with the ntsc hacks and the PAL hacks were gone... so you can see other region hacks in preloader settings, then just don't work or cause a crash when set

and i believe you're only able see 13 hacks in preloader due to the bug that doesn't allow you to see more than that

 

[mrtankjump]

That's odd. If I set certain hacks to version 290 on my 3.2u, they disappear, and when I change it back to 289, they reappear. I don't know why you can see Pal hacks, but I can't. I'm definitely only seeing the hacks for 3.2u.

Yeah. It's security so you don't fuck up your Wii.

so adr this has lock channel and move disc channel.....won't those counter act each other?

Ya lol may they will...

But I've not installed Preloader...

(And you can check witch hacks you want to be able right?)

 

[farf21]

Hi. Can PRELOADER be Uninstalled ??? how ???

 

[frostyfrosty]

install sysmenu.wad
then run the hacksremover.dol

 

[SilverSurfR]

Disagree. I have a list of 21 (sys menu 289 only entries) in my hacks.ini that all show up in preloader. This MIGHT be the limit for 0.25 as the list ends just above "save settings" and its my understanding that the list does not scroll with this version and read this bug is fixed in the unreleased 0.26 version.

 

[D-Jay]

install sysmenu.wad

which one?

 

[SilverSurfR]

install sysmenu.wad

which one?

SystemMenu-v(3 numbers, depends on region).wad

If you have the "semi-brick" disc for your region, you should be able to extract it with WiiScrubber from there.

 

[Pikawil]

I need help. I can install the preloader but no matter what I do, I can't reach the preloader menu at all. And the hack remover can't remove the hacks.ini (It gives me a "failed: -106" line or similiar.)
