Hacking SNEEK+DI quick guide

[WiiUBricker]

Another question: I read that SNEEK DI / UNEEK DI only work on 4.2U/E and 4.3U/E system menus without modications of the source code. Is that true?

 

[SanGor]

any version works, there only certain hacks implemented for certain system menu version.
i.e. there is no region free hack for 4.3J so you would only be able to play japanese games via SNEEK unless you patch the system menu or add a hack.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Ah ok, well the source of the SNEEK DI system menu information is the ModMii Wizard

That did the trick! Thank you! A little annoying now I won't know what game is in what folder but that's ok. Titles.txt doesn't seem to be working for me either, placed it in the games folder which is where the sneek source seemed to be looking for it

hm, there could be a problem with the encoding of the file. Upload it and I'll take a look. Also, it just occurred to me that it could be inconvenient to have to have your folders named a certain way. Perhaps I'll add a modification to save the folder name in diconfig.bin so that you don't have to worry about that.

This is the titles.txt I used, from wiitdb.com. I also tried stripping out the first line
Wiitdb - Titles.txt

The file needs to be ANSI encoded. The one you download from wiitdb is unicode encoded. Also make sure that it's using windows line breaks (CR LF).

 

[NReale3370]

notepad++ can easily do both, thanks I'll try it out when I have a moment

anyone know if the cover loading from r145 is working?

i have tried it but i guess i dont have something right.

anyone know the size and demensions of the bitmap file for the cover

i know it goes in the folder /sneek/covers/.

tried this with a few file sizes but still says no cover


EDIT: finally found size that works

150 x 211 size should be 93.1kb

.bmp

works great nano351 RULESSSS!!!!
this is just what s/uneek needed!!!!!

 

[NReale3370]

Agreed nano you're awesome! While you're doing interface tweaks have you considered sorting the games in alphabetical order? I used someone's patch for sneek ages ago to do that in my own version of the source but would love to see it officially incorporated

yeah i was thinking about adding that in like sort by game type first (wii games show up before GC games) and then alphabetically from there. Right now browsing games can kinda be annoying. But before I do that I want to add in png support so it's easier for people to use covers they have from old usb loaders or straight from wiitdb. I also want to rework the title.txt loading so that it'll work with any line break style not just windows style line breaks.

I cleaned everything up, reformated my SD card, installed SNEEK with SNEEK Installer, but it's no use, I cant get SNEEK DI working. Again, SNEEK alone works fine, but if I add the DI module in sneek folder, I get no video signal (it's not a black screen) and one short drive blink. Dont know what to do, here's my gecko output for those familiar with this:

[SanGor]

Try to enable verbose mode, that should give more output.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Problem solved. It's odd that DI requires a game installed in order to just...boot the system menu..

 

[SanGor]

maybe you should have read the FAQ http://code.google.com/p/sneek/wiki/FAQDI

it's mentioned there ...

 

[WiiUBricker]

It still is odd.

I have been "trolling" a few sites the past few weeks after modding my Wii, I loved the idea of an emulated NAND so I played around with a few things and wasn't overly happy with uloader but couldn't get Uneek to work, well, after running out of room on my 250GB HD I went and bought a 1TB drive today, and FINALLY got Uneek to load without having the Wiimote disappear, but now when I hit the "1" on my wiimote no menu comes up... Any ideas or suggestions?

Uneek+DI on 4.2U

EDIT: Adding a second game right now to see of that is the problem. Also HD is split up 100GB for Sneek and NAND, other 900 for games. 900 is active and primary, and both are fat32 as 32kb.

Ok, found my problem, no font.bin, so I added the font.bin started the Wii back up, changed the region to US and..... 0 games installed, even though I installed both Iron Man(PAL) and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock(NTSC). Both games are installed on the second partition in the games directory, any ideas????

 

[DarkMatterCore]

This is the problem. Both the UNEEK+DI data and the decrypted game files must be on the same partition.

 

[Griffin224]

This is the problem. Both the UNEEK+DI data and the decrypted game files must be on the same partition.

KK, Thanks PabloACZ, ripping a game to that partition now then going to see if EASUS will let me resize the partition without a reformat. Kinda excited to get Uneek up and going.

On a side note: Anyone know if RB3 or GH:WoR DLC works? I have TONS of songs from both I'd like to download.

yeah rb3 dlc works good for me

You have to install it some convoluted way or can you go right to the store and download it?
