Hacking savemiifrii

[joda]

How the hell are you susposed to boot Zelda with this?

Insert a original Zelda disk.

When disc is inserted the (EUR 3.2) disappears and that's it. No Zelda, let's play black screen.

I second this. When i inserted my TP-disc into my 3.3E system at the recovery screen, the text disappeared, the disc spun up, and then nothing. You have to press anything on say a gamecube controller or something to boot?

On another note, since restore mode runs before system menu, and region settings seems to be bound to the installation of this, is it possible to run updates from any region? I.e. full-update a Wii to another region from a recent original from that region; a jap SSBB or whatnot.

Aint this the irony. Wasn't Bushing that started "hackmii" to actually fix bricks?

I remember reading his post about this and I thought "YES! Finally a guy that might make this happen!"

Now when he/the team finally made a fix that happens to cost money and this is released?
Who cares! Choose your method and do it and stick with that!

I would actually invest in a SaveMii rather to open my 10$ Gamecube controller (Actually got a purple version of that one posted before).

I don't think Marcan or Bushing cares if you lend out your SaveMii to friends to help them to fix there Wiis if they manage to brick them.

The recovery menu will only load autoboot discs. So you have to patch your Zelda to autoboot and have a modchip to start that autoboot copy. It's all detailed at savemii.net

No, you would need to use Any Region Changer for this.

So if you're on say 3.2 or 3.3 without a modchip anyway you are Fukked? as it wont load a normal retail original TP?

hmm, (im autoboot modded) so i don't need to use recovery mode by starfall, i just patch autoboot dols to iso like wadmanager title deleter, Zelda TP, and they autoboot at warning screen, and boot immediately if in recovery.

So basicly has anyone got an original of Zelda running through recovery from starfall or 4button gc-pad?

Okay, It makes sense now.

There are some banner bricks where you won't get to the Warning screen, as the Wii errors out before. That's what savemii, the 4 button combo and the Y in starfall are for. They are checked way before anything else is loaded and this way you can even fix those bricks.
Marcan and bushing also explained this very detailed...

Cheers for that, but doesn't a retail original Zelda game suddenly freeze (without a modchip), so there isn't any form of recovery?

I recon wadmanager is the best bet as it loads up immediately, where Zelda will have to go through all its loading glory...

 

[Slowking]

Yeah a retail game won't load. But like I said, an autoboot Zelda with a modchip will, so there is your chance to recover.
And ofcourse Wadmanager is better, but you can't boot a fakesigned disc on 3.3, but you can boot an autoboot zelda.

lol

You need THIS (or savemii/starfall Y) AND a chip.

A autoboot chip on it's own is useless for this type of wii failure, as is just the way of getting into recovery mode.

Obviously if you have starfall you can use ANY disc, not just zelda.

 

[djdynamite123]

thought so, so basicly (Savemii/Starfall) Cannot help you if you aren't modded in some circumstances...

Glad iv'e got autoboot supportive chip with 3.2 starfall, like the fact of loading up manager or deleter etc in a matter of a second or 2 hehe

So say you're on 3.3 with no chip etc.. banner brick, how can he/she recover? Or can't they so its a matter of frizbying it out of the window

lol

Can any one upload a tutorial on how to make it work with a Original gamecube Controller or and Intel gamecube Controller?

Let me guess......Didn't read above posts?
Simply open your pad up and press all 4 buttons, as there is a plastic PIN that prevents you from pressing more than 1 button at once.

So open it up, and solder the points or press them down with somethings etc etc.

 

[Simo75]

Just tried...dance mat perfectly works and to the first attempt!!!
WOW!

 

[ether2802]

What do you need to do?? I can't do it, should I install the TPHack and insert Zelda disc or what??
By the way I don't have a modchip and I finally find a use for that DDR Pad

 

[nicksasa]

so i cant unbrick my old wii (yess ive got a new one) because i dont have a modchip ? i have zelda but im going to buy one but if i cant unbrick my wii im not going to buy a controller...

 

[marcan]

though I thought that they didn't order anything to be manufactured and that they did it from home...
So far, yes, but we placed an order (still outstanding) because we've been getting some rather large requests from resellers. Doing stuff at home by hand can only go so far. Every SaveMii sold so far is made by hand (we'll obviously change the site when that's no longer true).

We encourage that. SaveMii is in no way a single-use or single-user device, nor do we wish that. It's stupid and going down the retarded DRM road.

SaveMii is useful WITHOUT a chip if you have a system menu region brick (opera error) and a 3.x system menu. Most everything else requires a chip to fix.

 

[ether2802]

So MARCAN, do you have SaveMii's in stock now?? I really want one

EDIT: nvm I just see that bushing is still out of them, I don't want to order it from Spain, it will take forever to get here..!!

Ok, but if it can't load discs without a drivechip, I assume it can still install updates from retail discs, right? If so, how do I do it? Just plug in and wait? Does it output anything to the screen so i won't reset preemptively?
