2 Things here guys...

I'm having no trouble with the hacks.ini I posted. I can scroll the list fine and enable/disable the hacks there fine. I'm thinking there's an issue with WHERE in the hacks.ini the stuff for your sysmenu version is. Since it's the 290 guys that seem to be having the trouble. Deleting the 289's seem to work, I like having a complete list just in case i need to share it with someone in the future.

And all you guys with NO discs working (backups AND retail). Did you update the sysmenu with ARC before installing 0.26? I'm pretty sure ARC also reinstalls IOS30 from nin and thus you just lost cIOSCORP30. Reinstalling that wad should work.

Edit: WAIT, that's not right... Retails should still work after the above.

and ARC doens't even do that.

was anyone able to get ANY useful apps like ARC or wad manager or cIOS downgrader to boot from v.26? still trying to help fireeater out, running out of ideas

looks like he has a low level brick but still has preloader, HBC won't boot, starfall hacks(recovery ones to run TH) aren't working, savemiifrii is a no-go... anything i'm forgetting(other than a chip)?... i mean he has preloader so there has to be SOME way to use it to recover his wii... so if someone could let me know if they got any apps that can install system menu to run through this version of preloader i'd appreciate it... thanks guys

Maybe if you could get a sysmenu.dol to run from sd card. Or doesn't the dol booting work either ?
With a sysmenu running you could run apps or do an update.

 

[ether2802]

Yes it does, confirmed myself, IOS30 gets overwritten with ARCmod5, or it does something messy with it

Yeah, but he need to already have a channel installed and a POClauncher.dol

IOS 30 is installed over by ARC when you install the system menu. Ether is right. (trust me i've installed the damn thing during tests over 20 times and had to reinstall the cios30 each time to get backups back)

 

[ether2802]

Are you fool..?? I have SysMenu_hacked_v289.wad, just ask it, there is no need for a NTSC-U user to use ARC over and over again, and been you I am not hesitating, I'll PM you...!!!

 

[Skarface05]

Ether is spot in and being very helpfull. follow his advice.

So what your saying is after I install the v.26..i have to go back...run the ARC again and reinstall the cIOSCorp?
if all i am doing is installing the v.26....why?
Is it overwritting something that the ARC had installed already?
I hate to ask since i seem to be the only NTSC guy thats having "no disk loading" issues.
Everyone else is posting "No Problems"......hmmm

Sorry not trying to sound stupid...or ask a dumb question......ive just been mulling over this the last hour while i played World of Goo...

Edit: Gonna keep watching this thread......gonna see if i can get it to go again...

No... My post was for people that where cIOSCORP'd/Riskii Modded, and ran ARC BEFORE installing .26 and were now wondering why back ups aren't loading in disc channel.

TBH, all my games are in region (ntsc). So I really am of no help with out of region settings.

 

[D-Jay]

I don't have installed ARC (never did that) and all of my Games are running fine in Disc Channel. Backups, Originals, PAL and NTSC. Using my cIOS CORP method (NOT RiiskiMod!). I'm using preloader 0.26 and also my hacks.ini doesn't make any problem.

 

[Wiisel]

i will test all my games today and will post the results but so far the Naruto games NTSC-J that required jap lingo all boot the GC Naruto games that have the annoying have to be ejected at title screen thing all run fine now, Mariokart PAL runs fine think i have one or two US games but not checked those yet.

That's what I suspected yesterday when report came the free region hack didn't work.
Installing PL 0.26 on a FRESH systemmenu, along side with CIOSCORP will work with the PL region free hack.
Installing PL 0.26 on a systemmenu modded with ARC, along side with CIOSCORP will not work with the PL region free hack.

The ARC region free counteracts with the PL region free and breaks it all together.

I'm didn't have the chance to test this (nor do I have now), so if someone else could confirm this.

 

[houseonfire]

I searched through the thread and could not find a solution to my problem..

When I run 0.26, it seems to just sit at the warning screen.
I've tried pressing buttons on the Wiimote. Is there something special I have to do to get this to install?

I have no previous versions installed.

 

[bebs]

read the entire thread as i ve done yesterday....you'll find cheats codes! lol

 

[houseonfire]

Lol. Yes.
I just noticed.

Thank you.

 

[lucajucan]

You're right. The RiiskiMod (SoftMii) is not longer what it wanted to be at beginning.

I do have test with a ARC moded SysMenu and with a non-moded SysMenu, and I can tell that the PL hacks doesn't work for region free, at least no one in NTSC-U have got it with PL, only with ARC, since no coder has a NTSC system, the hacks aren't accurate like in PAL systems (I think)...!!!

 

[Wiisel]

i had fresh sysmenu using Qleaps ARC i removed the starfall hacks and my chips jumper before installing 0.26 and everything is working as expected region free. heres my hacks ini i still need to clean out the foreign stuff tho but its working better than expected on my PAL wii
