Hacking SNEEK v2

[Digital1980]

I can see the games in the DI menu but when I press 2 on the Wii remote or A on the GC controller, nothing happens. In older rev, the game would pop up in the disc channel.

@ digital1980 i got the games to show up by running any region changer and changing the game region setting to europe on my 4.2u wii all my games seem to work hope that helps

So I looked at dip.h like the changelog says, but I can't figure out the dimodule.bin file's structure. Does anyone have more details on that? Or even easier, a sample one for a USA Wii?

Oops, I meant diconfig.bin.

EPIC ??? hows that ??It simply is =)

Followed ChokeD tutorial for compiling SNEEK (using latest SVN) and received
CODEMAKEBIN armboot.bin
make: python: Command not found
make: *** [armboot.bin] Error 127

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Had not noticed the python path was missing in my system variables!

Man talk about a basic mistake!....

Install python.

EPIC =)

the diconfig.bin is automatically generated in newer revs of SNEEK+DI and is located in the sneek folder on the HDD

Yeah, I saw that it was generated, but I still need to change the region from EUR to USA, and looking through the file in a hex editor I didn't see anywhere to do that.

I'll take another look when I get a chance though, maybe I skipped over the part when I was glancing through.

I'm in a similar situation, games show up when I bring access the menu but they don't start. Nothing will show show up in the Disc Channel

it has been suggested by menage730 that QUOTErunning any region changer and changing the game region setting to europe on my 4.2u wii

will make games work but how do I go about that?

just wait for the next version, it will include a settings menu!

Wow, yeah I can definitely wait for that. Damn SanGor, thanks keeping us updated straight from the source. Your posts are always useful.

@ChokeD:

As if I'd read edits

Some people are just plain stupid and the question has been answered a thousand times so I just clicked on quote, wrote the answer and sent

By the way: You are doing it wrong

SanGor's answer was EPIC, not your stupid reading skills

WOW, resulting to calling people names?? The stupidity of you answering someone that already answered there own stupid question.....

EPIC

Reminds me of my request: http://gbatemp.net/t205511-sneek-v2?view=f...t&p=2821391
Awesome work as usual.

. . . So Sneek (or a modified version?) can read a USB loader to play Wii games, among having WADS of VC & Wiiware titles? Or . . .?

Why is Sneek R90 thinking my Wii is EU when it's USA? I used the correct region.bin
Any suggestions?

Edit:
Found the answer.....
Rev88+ doesn't use the region.bin file. All the region info is stored in the diconfig.bin

Use a Hex editor to change the 6th cell (should be listed as 02) and edit it to the desired number.
This will make the Sneek think the Wii is of the following region:

01 - US
02 - EU
03 - Japan

This was bugging me as I couldn't figure out why Rev 90 kept saying my Wii was EU.
I took a look at the file in a HEX editor and discovered the answer inside.

Remember, Crediar said this in the changelog of Rev88:

-region/current slot ID/installed game count and the first 0x60 bytes of all games
installed are now stored in single file called /sneek/diconfig.bin (see dip.h for the
struct format)

I haven't looked too closely through a Hex editor, but I can tell the Layout goes like this
Current Slot ID/Region/Installed Game Count/ First 0x60 bytes of all games.

The first 0x60 bytes of each game gets the game ID and gives us the title.

There it is, the missing puzzle piece. Well done! Verified, testing and working with 5 different games that wouldn't run before. Don't know about others but this helps me A LOT.

Phylos, THANK YOU!!
