Hacking SNEEK+DI quick guide

Hey guys,

It has been now for two weeks I'm trying to get sneek+DI working on my 3.3e (real nand). I've already succeded to run a sneek (no DI) with a 4.2e (emu nand). Although, every time I try DI I either get a black screen (nothing else) or a blinking dvd drive light. I tried many steps always using the installer. I compiled the source code too but I don't know exactly what use from there, if only i could see messages of what is going on, I found some clue on usbgeck but this project is now discontinued. Have you tried to debug sneek with something else like a log file or the network gecko stuff? If you did that would be much of a help. My motivation is to play rock packs, MTri and other ios reload stuff flawlessly.


Thanks in advance

it doesn't matter what your real nand is to run sneek+DI as long as you have bootmii installed
however your sneek+DI nand needs to be 4.2
silly question but you have extracted a game to your hdd before loading +DI as without one it will not run

Yes I did, I put NSMB, but in a usb flash drive, do you think drive compatibillity may be the reason? I formated the USB drive with 1024 KB sized clusters, and not 32 KB do you think reformating it in 32KB might help? Just for info the USB drive works fine for the HBC applications when using sneek (4.2e) without DI. I used the JManager to extract the game. What method on game extraction do you recommend?


Thank you very much you,
chub

 

[diddy81]

i would try reformatting to 32 kb clusters if that doesn't work it might be a compatibility issue with the drive

personally i extract my games with wiiscrubber but there are easier ways Ive just not tried them so i couldn't tell you them

if you can get sneek running then +DI should work

Well, I never tried any other menu than 4.2, but if SNEEK worked, then with 4.2. Not to mention that SNEEK+DI only works for 4.2, so Crediar sees 4.2 as the best menu too (or he's too lazy to search for the values

). And gosh, why wouldn't you want 4.2? It's always nice to be up-to-date (if you scratch 4.3).

FYI - Conanac and overjoy have ported the offsets so that SNEEK+DI can now be used on 4.3U and 4.3E. You need to modify SMenu.c by adding this code after line 156. Here are the details (these are direct quotes from conanac and overjoy):

Spoiler

4.3U

case 513: 
{ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂ//Disc Region free hackÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂ*(u32*)0x0137DD80 = 0x4800001C; 
ÂÂÂÂ*(u32*)0x0137E5D4 = 0x60000000; 

ÂÂÂÂFBSize = 304*480*4; 

ÂÂÂÂreturn 1;
} break;

4.3E

case 514:
{ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂ//Disc Region free hackÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂ*(u32*)0x0137DE28 = 0x4800001C;
ÂÂÂÂ*(u32*)0x0137E67C = 0x60000000;

ÂÂÂÂFBSize = 320*480*4;

ÂÂÂÂreturn 1;
} break;

I agree with Blue-K that there is no reason to be on SM 4.3 to use SNEEK+DI, but in case anyone wants to try it here is the info. I myself have not tested this yet but one of these days I will get around to it.

@ChokeD - it might be worth adding this to the 1st post in case anyone wants to run SNEEK+DI on 4.3U or E.

Cheers


Add the following line also to ensure that HBC is not removed on boot:

4.3U:

*(u32*)0x013345A0 = 0x60000000;

4.3E

CODE

*(u32*)0x01334610 = 0x60000000;

 

[xfcrowman]

@ Overjoy - can you edit the last post? The code for 4.3U is missing a zero.

Thanks for giving us this info as it would be annoying to loose the HBC.

This looks very interesting will have to give it a try but I have a question about how uneek works (in particular, in relation to other homebrew on my Wii).

At the moment I have CFG Loader installed as a channel on my 4.2E which loads backup games off a FAT32 formatted USB HDD.

If I understand uneek correctly then once installed, my Wii will 'boot' up running of the USB Nand, correct ? If so, how I go about using CFG Loader for the backups ? Does CFG Loader work via uneek ? Is CFG Loader no longer needed ? Or do I have to boot the wii without the SD card inserted ?

Done.. Sorry for this typo

4.3U:

*(u32*)0x013345A0 = 0x60000000;

4.3E

*(u32*)0x01334610 = 0x60000000;

Added, thanks OverjoY.

Rev106 doesn't work. No matter what I try, I always get a pink screen.

I've no issues running rev106.


Crediar added the SM hacks for 4.3U and 4.3E. The "No-Delete HAXX, JODI, DVDX, DISC, DISK, RZDx" is still needed if you don't wanna lose HBC.

4.3U:

*(u32*)0x013345A0 = 0x60000000;

4.3E

CODE*(u32*)0x01334610 = 0x60000000;

Do I need to get 0000000E.app and 00000001.app from IOS80 now?

I think that you only need 0000000E.app from IOS80. You still get 00000001.app from IOS60.

Still not working.

Here are the CRC hashes for my compiled files. Can someone verify them, please?

boot2_di.bin E049C51B
boot2_sd.bin EE18D383
boot2_usb.bin CA0C37DD
di.bin 7248B347

Compile it using the 0000000e.app from the IOS 70 like the previous revisions. It works for me. I don't know what's wrong with IOS 80, but it doesn't work for me neather.

I believe that the compiler will date stamp your .bin files, so CRC hash comparisons with other compiled files is not possible.

i'm having problems too... no matter how i try to get it working... Uneek, Sneek or sneek+di i only get a black screen... i tried dumping my nand, i tried making a new nand with the config file of my wii, i tried every single option and still i get only a black screen... ideas?

 

[M[u]ddy]

Maybe the updates broke support for some SD-cards.

 

[MrDiesel]

I get a black screen as well + the flashing of my disc light (it's like in a loop, constant flashing). I tried several options: SNEEK, SNEEK+DI, UNEEK, other micro SD card in my adapter, other NAND, GUI installer, compiled by my own.

It succeeded booting ONCE after I first compiled my own boot2.bin.

After it booted, I wanted to look into the Wii settings and it said the system files were corrupted and suddenly my SD card was corrupted. I had to format it.

I first thought it was my SD card (micro SD adapter actually), but since it booted once, could it still be? I really don't know.

Still hoping for a helpful answer.

hey guys any body else having trouble with r106 of sneek? When i try to compile it i get this box that pops up when it starts ioskpatch. the box says program cant start because MSVCR100.dll is missing.. I can still compile from old versions of sneek though
