I have tried many many solutions for getting New Super Mario Bros. Wii working on my softmodded Wii. With solution after solution failing for me, I was wondering if I could delete all homebrew IOS', get every official Nintendo IOS (non stubbed) and reinstall 4.1 U with 100% functionality for NSMB. I didn't really care at first, but with every game now shipping with the new protection, I think I'm going to need to get everything working.

4.2U, updated from 4.0 with the "simplistic mod"
Latest revision of USB Loader GX from the official site
cIOS rev 14?

I'd like to keep all of my official channels, legally bought WiiWare/VC games, and save games. Everything else I can re-hack, I suppose, and maybe I can play games with the new protection.

Why don't you just patch the game with the .dol or use the alt.dol method with your loader and forget about downgrade, at this point is really risky and if you don't know about stub IOSes and stuff you probably are going to end up with a nice white paper weight next to your TV, ooooooor.....search for info about the stub IOSes, so you can install them before doing a downgrade, don't expect someone is going to post a tutorial just to answer your lazziness, ok..??

lol.

Bet you anything his iso isn't patched.

NSMBW has BCA copy protection. simple hex editing of the main.dol on the iso will solve your issue.

It's funny because it's not true. At this point I've tried at least 3 different ISO's, with one being prepatched, and one with my doing the patch myself.

    bout to buy me some prescription safety glasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Got eye insurance? Some do custom laser cutting engraving same day in office
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without

    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
