illegal to share... its a good thing u apologized in advance

edit: nvm, i was way too late

PS. @ tj_cool, the share key for the hackmii installer download changes every few minutes, so the link u posted now only leads you to this picture of ceiling cat

Sorry about that! I figured that since others already had the files, it might not hurt to post them up, but if that's a violation, I guess I'll have to just take the longer route of following the directions

Lots of great information here, thanks for putting this all together!

 

[ChokeD]

Yes, it is possible. You need to have your ORIGINAL setting.txt from a bootmii dump and you need to configure your internet settings on the SNEEK NAND and that is all.

does not work for me. i have the original setting.txt (so i dont need to register my wiimote everytime i switch sneek-original) and internet is also configured. hmm...

Not saying your wrong, but I would check your internet settings again if your sure about the setting.txt. It should work. If not sorry I couldn't help.

r121 has been released (thanks much to crediar for his great app). Here is the log of changes:

Log message

DI:
ÂÂÂÂ-added Open/Close/Write Ioctlvs(for the dumper)
ÂÂÂÂ-commented unused Gecko code out
ÂÂÂÂ-removed some unused code

ES:
ÂÂÂÂ-added some missing ES: prefixed in the debug output
ÂÂÂÂ-fixed a bug in AddTicket where sometime the folders weren't created and
ticket install failed
ÂÂÂÂ-added DVD-HW code
ÂÂÂÂ-added DVDOpen/DVDWrite/DVDClose functions(for the dumper)

SMenu:
ÂÂÂÂ-changed the menu code a bit
ÂÂÂÂ-added a dumping mode which can dump your discs in RAW format to HDD
ÂÂÂÂ-settings are now accessed via the PLUS(X) button
ÂÂÂÂ-dump mode is accessed via the MINUS(Y) button

Important notes on the dumping mode:

The dumping mode is still experimental!
The disc you want to dump must be in the Wii from start up!
It does NOT support changing the disc while running and dump another disc. You
have to restart the Wii for now.
As SNEEK is using FAT32 the files are splitting into 4GB chunks, every OS has a
copy command which is able to join files.
(Just assure you join the files on an HDD which supports large files)
During the dumping burn-in protection doesn't work!
During the dumping the SNEEK menu is not displayed please just wait until it
shows "Dumped: ....".
Some dumping times I've measured which depend on your HDD speed!!
GCÂÂÂÂ:ÂÂ5mins
Wii-SL: 16mins
Wii-DL: 29mins

Finally! r121 Uneek DI works for me! been having a problem when using Uneek DI with font.bin, but this one works perfectly, kudos to crediar for this useful tool.

 

[longtom1]

they've just uploaded R121 elf files for the sneekinstaller on the googlecode a page

 

[XFlak]

sweet! I just used ModMii to build rev21! Can't wait to test it out!!

 

[NReale3370]

I too can confirm the UNEEK-DI menu working for me where it wasn't before. It also seems this version of UNEEK solves a lot of my black screening (though SNEEK-DI of this version did not)

A lot but not all sadly...

 

[jdcomic]

what version of nand you are

4.3 or 4.2

 

[longtom1]

the only thing missing is the cheat menu and I'll never use the wii's real nand again but the only problem is most app will be moving to IOS58 and it doesn't work well with sneek/uneek

 

[NReale3370]

what version of nand you are

4.3 or 4.2

Tested 4.3U and 4.3E. In lieu of black screening now certain games (metroid prime trilogy being one) are freezing up as the disc channel is attempting to load them

 

[jhoff80]

SNEEK+DI just doesn't boot Other M for me. No idea why, but I've tried my own retail disc, all of the dumps on the internet, 4.3U and 4.2U (both clean NANDs), r120 or r121, SNEEK+DI and UNEEK+DI, and nothing works.

Those who say that they've got it working no problems... are you on a USA console or EUR?

I saw someone claimed on the Google Code page that Metroid Other M wouldn't work for them also, but that bug was quickly closed by Crediar. That being said, there has to be a reason that a few people are having issues with that one game.

The version of Bootmii installed to boot2 wouldn't affect anything, right? I've got b6 installed on my Wii.

 

[longtom1]

It make no difference bootmii boot2 or IOS or which version

try installing a different versions of the IOS's that the games need to run and try again found that helps sometimes. I had a few games which would just black screen or reset me back to system menu installed earlier versions of the IOS's the games needed to run and bingo the games run every time.

Metroid Other M played first time on my uneek di(4.2E) just had the problem with the home button but that was on r120 haven't tried r121 as been too busy

 

[NReale3370]

I have Metroid Other M working fine using a backed up copy of my NTSC version on 4.3U. I'm using an old sneek-di (r103) because I have problems with black screen starts and the wii freezing as the disc channel tries to load some games on any later version

 

[jhoff80]

Well, Other M runs on IOS56. I've used IOS56v4890, v5405, and v5661, all unsuccessfully with it on SNEEK/UNEEK.

 

[longtom1]

what are you using to install the IOS's to the nand???

 

[jhoff80]

what are you using to install the IOS's to the nand???

Tried both Dop-Mii, and extracting to the NAND with ShowMiiWads (downloaded via NUSD).

Right now, the 4.3U NAND that's on there (including the newest IOS56) was downloaded and installed directly from the Wii System Update.

I really have tried absolutely everything I can think of.

 

[Scolor]

I don't understand how to access the Sneek menu. Where I've to hold '+' ? (according to the last r121)
