Hacking SNEEK+DI quick guide

[ChokeD]

I take it Gamecube can still not be loaded from the HDD?
This is correct.

QUOTE(joshwill80 @ May 17 2010, 10:14 PM) Just curious, can WiiWare be played online through Sneek, and does Sneek have 100% WiiWare compatibility? Just wondering if the limitations are similar to those of Triiforce.

The answer to both are yes in theory.

I'm on 3.2U on my real nand. Used Bootmii to create a NAND dump, extracted the nand.bin with ShowMiiWads. Then I used crediar's SNEEK Installer to install the regular SNEEK to my SD card. I booted it, played a bit with it and everything was working fine so far.

Next I wanted to try out 4.2U so I used the guide to create a virgin 4.2U. I wiped the SD card clean, used SNEEK Installer again, only this time I selected SNEEK+DI. It showed me a black screen for several minutes, I figured it was just rebuilding so I waited for like 10-15 minutes. Still nothing, so I added font.bin on the SD card's root, tried again and this time it would boot in mere seconds, presenting me with the Wii's initial setup screen. Everything went well, I checked the settings and the SNEEK NAND was indeed on 4.2U. In the guide it mentions to use the System Update (I don't know why really, it's already on 4.2U?) so I did a System Update. This went excruciatingly slow, took like close to an hour.

After the update finished, it asked me some questions like if I wanted to use Parental Control etc. I continued on and then the Wii rebooted and showed me the waving system menu icons (you know, like when you normally boot the Wii, it kinda waves those icons and then it shows the system menu), only this time it kept waving. Those icons just kept on disappearing/reappearing so I just shut off the Wii. Then when I tried to boot again, I was greeted with a simple black screen. No big deal I figured, must've shut it down during some update or whatever, so I wiped the SD card clean again, used SNEEK Installer once more (SNEEK+DI again), then I copied over the virgin 4.2U again. It just showed me a black screen (forgot to copy over the font.bin) so I shut it down after a few seconds and put the font.bin on there. Inserted the SD card into the Wii again, but now it just keeps showing me a black screen.

Is it possible that it takes like 10-15 minutes to rebuild stuff at that time? Because it was 3AM so I didn't have the time to wait for another 20 mins to see what it would do. Just wondering what went wrong. Also, if you UNEEK, what kind of file system does it need? I have a WD MyBook that is splitted in 2 partitions (NTFS and WBFS) so it would be awesome if I could use that without wiping it clean. Ideally, I want to be running PUNEEK. I guess it's a modded build of UNEEK so I can just replace the core files with the ones from the webpost autoreply email?

Well, I just read that you need an extracted game on the SNEEK drive for DI to work, so I guess that's why it kept showing me the black screen. Weird it worked fine the first time though.

Nice info, can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve.

I have one basic question about the menu display in SNEEK+DI.
I have made sure of nice works on SNEEK+DI in he case of one game title.
In the case of more than one game title,I cannot get the menu display and cannot select the game title.
I had the same result in "SNEEK MENU MOD".

I have made sure of nice works of SNEEK,SNEEK+DI,UNEEK and switch2sneek,sneek2sneekplus using a 4.2J virgin NAND.
I cannot understand I cannot get the menu display and cannot select the game title.
My Wii is 4.2J.The video output is NTSC.
Is the difference between the video output,NTSC and PAL,involved in?

If any of you know somebody any opiinons, I hope you appreciate it.

 

[ricerobo]

In the case of one game title,I can get the display of the game title in the disc drive channel.
But I cannot get the menu display of SNEEK+DI.

Do you have the gamecube controller connected at startup?

 

[ricerobo]

Do you have the gamecube controller connected at startup?

Thank you for your quick reply.
Yes,I have connected the gamecube controlller to port 1 at startup.

When I use "sneek2sneekplus",I can get the display of the way of switching SNEEK to SNEEK+DI and choosing game title.
Eve if I install two game titles into the USB memory,I can choice only one game title.

I tried once again.
When I have installed two game titles into the USB memory,I could select those two game titles.
The reason why I could not select the game titles is that I did not push +/?button in the menu of SNEEK+DI switchng SNEEK to SNEEK+DI by using "sneek2sneekplus".

Me too! Sounds awesome

GC loading anyone?
GC loading none? More likely.

If you go to the IRC, you'll see that 100 from 1000$ is currently raised for GC USB-Loading (I think that's what you've meant). So no, I guess not (which doesn't bother me anyways, never liked the Gamecube and it's games). If you want it, donate.

actually you missed that chance

QUOTE

09:49:39 so the GCLoader fund was now running for one month and obviously nobody is interested in it so I close it for good, all who donated will get access to the GCLoader once it is in usable stage.

Sounds like one of the features is not going to be available to the public.

 

[sweenish]

i'm hoping for full PUNEEK integration.

i really like UNEEK with the DI module.

 

[Digital1980]

same here, high hopes!!

 

[hulk691]

same here, high hopes!!

giantpune already posted his pre-compiled file here - puneek

Send email there and you will get the link to d/l the files.
It's uneek+di and loading by usbloaderGX or wiiflow.

Finally got Uneek working! Woot! Just curious.. is there a way to organize what channels actually appear on the system menu? Since there's not enough room for everything, I'd like to be able to push everything I can run on triiforce off the menu.. Is this wishful thinking?

 

[M[u]ddy]

When using crediars SNEEK Installer, will this install the new r88 or does it grab pre-compiled files from a host?

Yes, this is wishful thinking.

New r88.

 

[diddy81]

it grabs pre-compiled files of R80 from a host

you will need to compile r89 its at now

Quick (and really noobish) question: Do the Loaders (WiiFlows/GXs) work with the latest official rev (r90)? I guess not, since from the Changelog, it doesn't look like that...
