Hacking Preloader v0.30 Installer / Removal Tool

[jaydoc05]

Do we have a solution for this bootmii loop?

So, bootmii is selecting system menu (which is really preloader right?). And if preloader is set to autoboot bootmii we get ourselve this dog tail chasing.

One person replied to my initial post of this issue several pages ago suggesting that the preloader setting "return to" should be selected as "system menu"

i am not home now, have not tried it. I will let you know if it works later

How is this a problem? just change the settings of either bootmii or preloader! Why have bootmii configured to boot to the system menu and preloader to boot to bootmii? If you want to boot to bootmii, then disable bootmii autobooting to the system menu

Semi-Success, I just got a 512MB micro SD to work in preloader0.30r3. i took it out of my old motorola slivr, did the regular format to fat32 (not quick format). it works i got the Hacks.ini running, Yay! So i then tried the reg formatting on the 4GB SDHC (took about 10 min.), but it did not have the same result.
Still incompatible, i can live with this minor success.

oh yeah the reason it's a success is because, when i tried the quick format the card did not work. after the full format it did.

Did this to my 1GB MicroSD, it then loaded after rebooting the Wii. So I got hacks.ini loaded with the stuff I wanted. I may try doing this with my 4GB SDHC to see if it also becomes un-broken.

As mentioned before... that does not work...

thats just allows bootmii to autoboot to the system menu, in your case stop bootmii autoboot with the #... so when you select system menu in boot mii.. back into the loop again..

again as I say there is not problem's booting Bootmii from the preloader menu.. only via the preloaders autoboot settings...

Possible fix, set the autoboot setting to load preloader first, then auto switch to load boot mii IOS.. (as if it was automatically selecting Boot mii IOS from the preloader menu, once preloader is started)

that doesn't work either.. as you say the problem we end up with is 'dog tail chasing' syndrome...

see above for my theory on a possible fix... In theory it should work, as bootmii loads fine via the menu in preloader.. but as for coding.. I will leave that to some who can do....

I guess the point is to create a situation where bootmii IOS to act like bootmii boot2.

As us IOS people feel left out of the "cool" in crowd thing to do.

It would be nice to power on the wii and go right to bootmii.

From there, let me decide on going into HBC or the system menu.

Thats all I want to do.

some1 correct me if i am wrong, but I think no matter what they come up with for preloader... booting to bootmii IOS will always be reliant on preloader. So whether you boot to preloader then choose to load bootmii as IOS, or automatically boot preloader then automatically boot bootmii makes no difference, u lose preloader, u lose access to bootmii as IOS. I guess you can't join the "cool" crowd, but its all good; keep the good idea's coming and we'll make u an honorary member

Agreed

why the heck would you set anything to autoboot bootmii anyway? It's only used to make and restore nand dumps...

Is there something else that can only be launched via bootmii?

for ultimate brick protection I guess... providing you haven't corrupted the system menu of course...

still no SDHC support on .30 with my Sandisk 8GB card, wasnt really worth the update :-(

 

[henkie]

I updated to 4.2e with waninoko update 4.2.
Installed preloader v0.3, there where no errors.
All seems to work, loads sys menu, hb channel from sd-card and bootmii.

If I go to system menu hacks I get "couldnt find any hacks for system menu v482"

I remember, few months back when I was on sys menu 3.4e and installed preloader v0.29, I could set some options like, skip disc update check.

Did I do something wrong or forgot anything?

How do I know if I've patched the system with ES_Verify? All I know is the I used the trucha bug restorer
.

 

[longtom1]

don't know why people are saying that sdhc doesn't work just installed using a 4gb sandisk micro sdhc card formatted to fat32 and it worked no bother

 

[misticknight]

it's probably a compatibility issue, my AData 8GB SDHC card isnt getting recognised.

after reading the whole thread, I never found where the whole "failed to read ticket...ABORT" was solved.....was it? If so, the first post should be updated.
