Hacking SNEEK v2

[supersonic5000]

Just to be sure.


So I have SNEEKv2 with DI working now.


I need to extract the game partition of a Wii ISO to usb:/games/ right? Or to USB:/games/title/?

Here use this it's very helpful. http://crediar.no-ip.com/DiscEX2.rar
This will extract everything you need in the folders.

not really helpful, part.bin's were the way to go lol since they were only 1 or 2 files for a game, with fat32's limits it can only hold a little over 65,000 directory entries, and each file takes 2-? (i think its 14) basically a number between 2 and 14 lol depending how long the filename is. And every wii game i've extracted extracts into around 3,000-4,000 little files. so do the math.3000 files x 21 games=63,000 entries assuming that each file only took up one directory entry, which is completely false.Sure you'll have games that extract to less files, but your looking at being able to store alot less then that ^ anyways because depending on the length of the filename it'll take up more entries. So a usb loader working in sneek is rather useless imo, unless your using part.bin files

Thank you so much

I used it on all my ISOs and it works perfectly

What are people using to get the needed bin files ?

Did I just see a new version of discex??? WOAH!

Still this question:

When you got the 'first time configuration' screen, does that mean you've compiled sneek properly?

But why does everybody have to compile this for himself? What's the difference in compiling Sneek and e.g. USB Loader GX? So why can't there be a precompiled version?

Because some files (or maybe 1 file) are illegal

ninty code required to compile sneek and not gx, thats why.

Can someone tell me what app is used to extract games to multi-bin files please ?

A pre-compiled version of SNEEK is not available because boot2.bin contains nintendo copyrighted code, thus making the distribution of a compiled version illegal.

edit: beaten by TJ_Cool and ChokeD

I am surprised however that no one has created an email account that auto-replies with the latest version of SNEEK. I am not advocating that someone does this, but it does surprise me that it hasn't happened yet.

an unnecessary concern since I doubt that any game will take up 65,536 directory entries in a single folder.
The limit is for a single folder, not for the whole drive.
I currently have 72,716 files and 4096 (nice number) folders in my games folder

Using part.bin on FAT32 would make DL games unplayable due to the 4GB file size limitation.

Yes, when you see the first time configuration screen then you've compiled sneek properly.

Do the configuration.. Press A on health screen and wait for a couple of minutes.. This might take a while

That's why you have multiple part.bin's for games over 4GB

*cough* anyone please ?

can I at least get a face to palm pic ?

 

[kyle007]

yeah my bad

as i was telling treeki earlier in irc lol i'm running on like 3 hours of sleep, im not thinking very coherently this morning. But your right thats for a folder not the entire drive, but i thought it would apply since i thought that limit applied a to a folder AND its subfolders e.g. the games folder everything inside it would be counted towards the limit.

[ChokeD]

Thank you.

Anyone managed to get SNEEK's DI-module to work without emulated NAND? I've fiddled around a bit with the IOSKPatch and ELFIns steps of the build process without luck.

 

[FenrirWolf]

Don't think that's going to happen no matter what you do.

Asked this in the compiling thread (sorry 4 crossposting (

) already but i think that this is better placed here:

I have got some problems with Sonic & Sega ALL-Stars Racing (PAL Version )loaded with sneek+di from the usb harddisk:

• Starting Sneek+Di Modul
• Pressing START and selecting the game in the menu
• The game which was in the Disk Channel get´s ejected
• After some time the WII freezes and i only hear some annoying noises

This happens only with this game, other games like: MP Trilogy, Sam & Max Season 1, WII Play, New Super Mario Bros WII are working without any problems.
Extrated the Game from a burned 1:1 copy as did with the other games before.

Somebody got a hint for me?

/edit

Problem 2:
Always getting the message "this is not a wii disc" from DiscEX2, tried the Sonic & Sega ALL-Stars Racing.iso from above and working ntsc.iso from Sakura Wars.
Typed into the command windows: discex2 x "isoname".iso

The two games are working perfect with usb loader CFG and from Backup Disc.
