Hey, I managed to get through installing the homebrew channel today on my wii via bannerbomb, and I'm trying to get a disc backup loader installed, but I have a LU64+ model Wii, and someone gave me a tutorial to apply a fix, but I'm having a problem getting started since the .wad file (IOS16.wad) doesn't want to install. I don't know if it's too important but my firmware is 4.1U.

While I'm at it, what is the reccomended backup loader for burned dvds?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: If it helps, the error wad manager gives me is ret = -1035, when installing IOS16.wad.

Hi, If I update to cios38_rev13 and install neogamma r6, will I still be able to use Gamma 0.3 which we have installed as a channel?

quick question

i know that you can load a usb drive via usb loader channel

i'm wondering if you could use a portable external hard drive such as the WD passport?

i know it'll work with the large hard drives but what i wanted to know is if anybody has done this because since most portable hard drives only have a usb cable, would the wii be enough to power the e-hd or should i get one with its own power cord?

thanks

I've actually been testing this. I'm trying to use an external HD with it's own power supply and USB cable to boot isos and the channel isnt recognizing it. There's like 5 different versions of the USB loader and i dunno which to use.

another quick question

Is it possible to use one general USB portable HD for multiple consoles?

See I was planning on investing in like a 80GB portable hard drive, but I recently softmodded my PS2. I've got my Wii's softmoddery updated so it can boot things via USB as well. I'd like to be able to use that hard drive for both game system's USB hard drive loaders - and yeah, I'm not gonna be dumb and load a PS2 game on a Wii or anything.

tl;dr can I make a "PS2" folder and a "Wii" folder on said USB hard drive and have both run games on their respective systems without any sort of conflict?

Its not as simple as making two folders. You'll have to make 2 partitions cause Wii games only load of WBFS, which can hold wii games and nothing else.

Hi all i have a quick question.

My wii (PAL) is fully softmodded 4.1e with bootmii as boot2, preloader, cIOS 38r13(a) etc. and everything works amazingly

Whilst trying to keep the misses happy i got a copy of her old xbox game (we still have the game but not the xbox) called vexx.
the file ive got is a gamecube NTSC .gcm file.

My question is what do i need to get this running? Ideally i want to burn it to a dvd and play it like that, i *think* i need cMIOSrev3 by Waninkoko (which i have but not yet installed).

Many thanks for help and apologise if this is in the wrong forum.


Lee.

I've seen usb loader gx being used for it in a few vids i've seen, have you tried that yet?

also you can try neogamma if that doesn't work

i'd like to find out if a portable one works, but if it doesn't i'll just go ahead and use a full external

I've been messing around with this for a friend this weekend actually. I've used a Samsung HM160HI portable SATA drive, 160GB, powered from USB. It runs fine, no problems whatsoever. I'd recommend checking out the wiki page at:

http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/USB...patibility_List

Also, I'd suggest that if you want to go for a portable drive, make sure you've got a decent USB cable, and that's it's not too long, I'd suggest 1m at the most.

just wanted i wanted to know and the link as well

How do I run USA VC games on a PAL system? I have preloader installed and all the region free options enabled but I still get a blank screen when trying to load games. Am I missing something?

 

[flameo200]

Trying to get USB Loader GX going, but having trouble getting the HDD in order. Currently, it's completely blank and in NFTS, what do I need to do to get it to work with USB loaders?

oke an quick question: Ive dumped my sis with dvd dumper and ive got 9 iso files, what must I do with the 9 iso files?

 

[motleypixel]

Okay, this should be a simple question to answer and I think it's worth the while of others that aren't so "die-hard" to keep things going.

I softmodded my wii about 5 months ago (wii firmware 4.0U) and right now I'm just happy that we have about 12 BU on disc that work like a champ and that all our original titles work fine. Now the past two titles I've tried (My Sims Racing and Wii Sports Resort), have not worked and I did try the (current at the time) "glorious work-around" for the My Sims Racing and it essentially chewed up a full week-end day of mine and pretty much got my in a pissy mood etc (I know, you get what you pay, or not pay for right?). Luckily I "think" everything is back to normal and we continue to enjoy our Bu's and original titles.

Now here's the question, and I think a thought that EVERYONE thinking of soft-modding their wii should consider. What if I call it quits, as in I stop aquiring BU's and stay right where I'm at, BUT I decide to buy Wii Sports Resort, what's the risk I take running this original title and the disc containing updates that will break our current softmod setup? Is there a recommended best practice on how to protect when running an original title w/o having to perform wad updates, cios updates, or "glorious work-arounds"?

Thanks,
Lex

um I m not sure what word around u tried for those two games. I do know they'll run no problem with cios rev14 and neogamma. Anyways if u want to boot an original with out updating run it through gecko os and I think it will install
the needed ios without updating

[GameSoul]

My External HD/ Flash drives keep saying there's not enough free disk space when I try to put an iso on. The 16Gb flash drive is empty and the External HD had 201GB free space. I don't have any idea why it's doing this.
