OP updated.

Is there a changelog for the update?
...does it now support extracting GC ISO's?

Anybody see this over at eurasia.nu.... might be the way around originals in DIOS MIOS????

any thoughts????

I think ppl should wait for DIOS MIO(S) to come out... before we start making theory as to how to bypass the protection

Thanks for the info, but why exactly would you post that here ??? SNEEK does not boot or have anything to do with booting GC backups and this is not the DIOS MIOS topic. Also, DIOS MIOS has nothing to do with SNEEK.

Also, DIOS MIOS has nothing to do with SNEEK.

...DIOS MIO(S) only runs under SNEEK, so in a way it does have something to do with it.
But agreed. This should have been posted in the DIOS MIO(S) thread and not under the SNEEK thread.

"Is it sneek-only? If so does that mean decrypted game-dumps in folders is a must?
For now it’s SNEEK only and probably always will be since the game selection from the SNEEK menu is also used for GC games, for now DIOS MIOS is using complete GC dumps and not extracted ones"

That's a new one on me, I thought I had read that it had nothing to do with it in the dios mios thread and that it was a stand alone app. I'm not interested in it at all that's probably why I missed that. I was wrong, I apologize for that. Thanks for the info.

NP man

The next question is that if DIOS MIO(S) supports full GC Dumps and not extracted ones... why couldn't the same be done for Wii Games within SNEEK itself?

MAN, that is the question of the day. I have wondered that almost every day I work on sneek.

SNEEK used full dumps before but due the 4GB fat32 issue crediar dropped it and went with extracted files which solved the 4GB issue plus gave the user an easy way to mess with the files.

No problem bro, Nice info anyway.

And I'm sure going to a different format other than fat would have cause a lot more work in other place as well, eh ???

On the other hand that would pwn ninty's d3-2 drives and so forth on the gamecube side without needing a cmios... hell i'd buy a couple more cubes just for fun anyway i'm lovin SNEEK+DI on that 4.3 menu it's frickin amazing 2 wiis in one

 

[Digital1980]

Thanks to ChokeD, I have successfully set up and tested UNEEK+DI on one of my Wii's.

I can now rule out compiling and media issues for now. The problem was my file structure, apparently I needed the whole nand extract for that particular scenario. (missing the sys and ticket folders)

Unfortunately I am not able to replicate the results on my other Wii with the same procedure. I decided to switch to building a virgin NAND after several attempts with my dump.

At this point I can get the Disc SLot to do the 1 initial flash when launching bootmii from HBC for sneek mode only.

The missing folders are created but they are empty. It just won't build...

iplsave.bin and settings.txt along with sys folder contents have all been placed in proper locations.

Anybody run into the same issue or have a suggestion for solution?

Thanks,

SNEEK used full dumps before but due the 4GB fat32 issue crediar dropped it and went with extracted files which solved the 4GB issue plus gave the user an easy way to mess with the files.

Actually SNEEK used decrypted partitions. Crediar didn't have SNEEK use encrypted ISOs because he didn't want to add the code required to decrypt it to SNEEK. GC ISOs are unencrypted.

 

[ricerobo]

I would like to try sneek menu mod in revision 80.
Because my sneek nand is 4.2J, I think I should edit es/main.c to open di menu.
In es/main.c, case 482(4.2E) and case481(4.2U) are listed, but case 480(4.2J) not.

Can anyone tell me how to edit es/main.c?
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone use SNEEK with a USB Wii LAN Adapter? I run everything hardwired. I'm running UNEEK+DI r116 and everything works except for network access. Everything network related including System Network configuration, Channels that access the network (like the Internet Channel), and HomeBrew that access the network all fail.

The LAN adapter light never goes on and I see the following errors logged to the USB Gecko:

CODENET_DEV_UP Ioctl returns rc=-10
UE: Error: usbEthDevUp: device not inserted, can't bring up


I copied my shared2 directory from my real NAND to my SNEEK NAND and that didn't help.

The adapter works correctly with my real NAND.

Any ideas? I don't have WiFi readily available, so I don't know if that will work.

Did you try booting, then plugging in the adapter, not sure if the adapter has been implemented or not with SNEEK.

 

[M[u]ddy]

The LAN adapter goes into the USB slot. Now if he's using UNEEK, doesn't that mean that the USB ports are not available?
