Hacking SNEEK+DI quick guide

[ChokeD]

that'll happen if you rename the files to boot.bin... rename them to boot2.bin.

For me having the armboot.bin and the boot2_sd as boot2.bin works but the others dont.

Sorry I made that little naming mistake last night and was low on sleep. It would be in the best of peoples interest to refresh the page and reread the guide as I've made a lot of changes, cosmetic and otherwise. Thanks for your help cthg.

Um, do the boot2 files go in the bootmii folder or on the root of the SD?

To change drive letter in the cmd prompt, you type "c:", not "c:\"

 

[cthg]

or "cd c:\"

Cool sneek boots up. The di version, and i put an extracted game in the format it's supposed to be in games folder on usb but it doesn't make a slot.bin or show the game?

 

[cthg]

Are you using a US NAND? Could someone who gets SNEEK di to work show me how their filestructure on SD and USB is set up?

and what system menu do you have on your SD NAND.

Is this one going to work ?? tried to fix it. I believe that fixed it.

Thanks

EDIT: I'll work more on this when I get home tonight. I am currently reading the 130+ pages of SNEEK2 to better incorporate whats what into this guide. I'll add as I go, so this will probably be changing a lot.

till then good luck with your builds.

what do we do with devkitppc_r19? i assume we replace these files with the ones included in devkitpro???

 

[gameking66]

3.2 NAND - SNEEK works, SNEEK+DI blackscreens...
4.2 NAND - Nothing works, blackscreen.

I have region.bin and font.bin.

 

[VashTS]

and of course, nothing works, as usual...i quit on sneek...once gc loading is possible, someone will make a nice package deal and ill get that. this is the third time ive tried to compile and keeps giving me errors.

Well finally got Di working, with game selection.

ended up just hard coding the region free hack into the system menu app before any of my games would work from the game selection, but everything seems to be working fine.

 

[Justin121994]

I still can't get game's working. Can someone write up someting on how it works?
Sneek creates a slot.bin but when I go to disc channel it just says disc error or something..-_-
On U dump.

Are you using a 4.2U dump? If so can you post what you changed. TY

No i completely converted my Wii to Pal prior to dumping the nand, and instead of using the fsdumper i used Bootmii to backup the Nand, and showmiiwads to extract it, I'm sure you can easily convert a nand dump to Pal with just showmiiwads though you might get a opera brick without changing the setting.txt also.

I done that and got the menue working but I can not exit it after I select a game. It may be something wrong with it. How do you exit menue after selecting a game? TY again.
