Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

[Leo Cantus]

With this game, I am using the Backup Launcher Gamma 002fix with IOS249 and working with mostly all cIOS files I've tried (9-13a/b; currently using cIOS rev.13a).

I was starting to have problems with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 with the white screen freezing, until I patched my game with the IOS Patcher to IOS249. Once I did that I thought I was fine and everything, able to create save data and loading stuff from the menu. Everything went well up until I started my swings. My game continues to crash on swings during Free Play and Career mode. I've tried switching cIOS to see if the game would work but continues to freeze while I play. Sometimes, I can get a few swings in. The farthest I ever gotten so far was up to Hole 5 during Free Play (Hole 2 in Career). I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but if anyone does know I would greatly appreciate some help.

I burnt a backup of super mario galaxy onto a dvd-r disc. I am on wii 3.2e, when I go to backup launcher 0.3 gamma and go to launch game I get an error saying - "no dvd (n)". Why is this happening, have I done something wrong here? I used imgburn to burn the game.
Help appreciated, thanks in advance.

The only thing I can think is you don't have the latest cIOS installed. Try locating cIOS38 rev 13a somewhere, it's the latest version, and install it. Very easy.

i have that installed

So I'm running my PAL Wii with 4.0e, cios 38 rev 13.
Until recently I was running 13b and my Backup Launcher Gamma ran my multi-game GC discs just fine but now as I've downgraded to 13a the Backup Launcher refuses to run them anymore? O.o
Did I forget something? Is there something else I have to do?
Apparently it loads the disc but then just restarts my Wii.
I tried forcing PAL 50/60 and NTSC.
It seems to load then I get a green screen and my Wii restarts.
Any help?

Okay, quick question. I am trying to update my Wii with a new cIOS and with NeoGamma r6.. (what I downloaded from wiipower). The cIOS I downloaded was from wiipower as well and it is cIOS38_rev13. And NeoGammar6HBC. This is safe to do right? And a little guide just telling me how to put on my SD card and what to install on my wii once SD card is in. Currently i have wiigators backup launcher 3.0 on my wii.

What's the average size of a backup?

As an iso, they're almost always 1 DVD sized (3.47GB).

Can usb loader gx play ntsc games on a pal wii?

What is the "enable vid patch" for?

[bnwchbammer]

I have an NTSC-U Wii. I've got preloader set to launch region free. Aaaand I've got Neogamma R6. I wanna play a PAL game on my wii. What settings should I set to plat it with full color and everything? Sorry if it's been answered elsewhere. I've checked a bit, but couldn't really find anythin. Thanks.

What's the average size of a backup?

on your pc they are almost always 4.37 giga bytes, when you move them to a WBFS drive (the kind used for a wii usb loader) they can be anywhere from 0.25 gb all the way upto 4gb the largest backup i have is around 3.75gb and thats out of 230 backups

What is the "enable vid patch" for?
What it does?

its part of a one two punch for playing games from other regions, for example, if you have a ntsc-u wii and wanted to play a pal game, you would set the "video mode" to "force ntsc" and the "video patch" to "on".

i dont know if it does anything else

Can usb loader gx play ntsc games on a pal wii?

yes it can just set the "video mode" to force your region, since my wii is ntsc im not exactly sure which pal you would need but just try both until you get it, also be sure to set "video patch" to "on" no matter which pal version you chose.

sorry for the multipost spam, i just was lazy and didnt feel like merging them into one post

oh and by the way if you didnt already know usbloader gx rev581 is out and they fixed the cover download problem as well as other things.

does Coverfloader by beardface have 3d covers or just the front?

What is the best WBFS format program for a hard drive?

I am a noob to this scene, sorry!

 

[Clock Work]

i never used coverflow, but just to clarify for you, in case you didnt know, a 3d cover is just the front, but you can see a lil bit of white around the left edge, which makes it look more like an actual wii game case.

wbfs manager 3.1 is a great application for doing it from a pc, but if you need to do it from the wii itself i believe all of the usbloaders are capable of that, i personnally have only used waninkoko's usb loader 1.5 and then i switched to usbloader gx 1.0, which is a much prettier and more complete loader, also usbloader gx 1.0 has all the extra features you would want in a loader built in, as well as a team of people updating it on a very regular basis, just in the past 2 weeks its gone from revision 566 all the way upto revision 581, defianetly a must have as far as loaders go.

I've got a Wii (3.1E) with a Wasabi mod chip, it's been collecting dust for a roughly half a year, but I thought I should give Boom Blox Bash Party a try. But when I try to run the backed-up game it won't load the disc. The .iso file has (compresed) in the name, what does that mean and what shall I do to get the backup running?

I've tried another game with (compresed) in the file name, and that went good. So it can't be the the compression thats the issue. Anyone care to helpe me out?

 

[tylerxian]

I believe that the Neogamma backup loader has better compatibility. Though that's just my experience.

 

[FireFreek]

I'm using Cover Floader by Beardface, and was wondering if it was possible to rip backup DVDs to the USB.

Also, after i formatted my drive I can't assign a drive letter in Windows(i expected it), which doesn't let me manage the drive using wbfs managers. Anyone know how to assign a drive letter? I need to add some games. (I also have linux, so that's an option)

I Just Hacked My Wii via Banner Bomb, I have BootMii, the latest HBC, & preloader[*]What Are All Of The Files I Need To Run USB Loader, Wii Loader, and GC Loader?For USB and Wii loader you need to install a CIOS, so look for cios38rev13a. Once that is installed find any USB loader in the forum and use that. For disc loading look for Backup Loader Gamma[*]I am on menu version 3.4U, what is the best menu version to be on?Most people say 3.2[*]What Is The Best Way To Make My Own Wads[*]What is the latest and greatest USB Loader?[*]How DO You Change Your Wiis starup picture, menu, and such[*] what are the other must have wii thingsThank You

That's all I can answer from my limited knowledge. I'm probably wrong.

Is it easier to just do it on the Wii with USB Loader GX?

And if I did do it on the Wii, would I need the External HDD to be empty? Or can it have games on it? And, will the games clear if I format on the Wii when HDD has games on it?
