Hacking SoftMii 3.0

[SomeGuy2009]

With SoftMii, you get:
- Customized and hacked System Menu 3.2

I thought that SoftMii would update the console to System Menu 4.0. Was I miss-led? I have already ran SoftMii 2.1.1 about a month ago or so and everything is working fine from what I can tell, but have been interested in upgrading to SystemMenu 4.0 but dont want to lose functionality.

i'm pretty much wondering the same thing

xxxxenvy - if the preinstaller is not working correctly -the steps to fix it would be to install ios16, then load custom wad manager and install the lu64 wad then restart and load hbc and load new cios rev11 installer and then select network install - this will make your lu64 wii work.

If there is a problem with preinstaller, icefire can fix it as he made it. Its not a problem. You can still use this fix tho and do it manually.

Night all

I have a simple question, I have 4.0u upgraded with waninkoko program, and Custom IOS36 rev 10 from wanin, and preloader 0.29... do i have to uninstall the preloader before i install the new softmii??? or just install it overwriting?

I'm looking through the Readme and it looks like there's a firmware downgrader in there that can take you to 4.0 if you want.

it would be great if i could access WAD manager or Custom WAD Manager. WAD manager was working before on 3.2, i installed IOS16, went to Customer WAD manager and installed the cIOS. Ever since then, only Custom WAD Manager was working everything else (besides Homebrew) would get a black screen. Thinking that 4.0 would get it to work again, i installed 4.0 and now even Custom WAD manager goes black as well. i hope theres a fix for me.

Good work on the package BTW. Even if i cant get this working, you guys do a surper job!

EDIT: forgot to mention that this was all done before and everything (besides homebrew) is still giving me a black screen

 

[FenrirWolf]

By "Installing 4.0 again" do you mean doing an official Nintendo install of 4.0? I don't think that was a good move.

Anyway, I think the reason Wad Manager isn't working is because it's trying to run off of cIOS, which is trucha-signed. Try finding a version of Wad Manager that doesn't default to IOS249.

Like SomeGuy2009 said though will we lose functionality by doing so? Is it really worth it ? Reason i would like to have it is for loading wads from SD.

 

[xxxenvy]

yes.. the official 4.0 update.. bad move on my end indeed.

You shouldn't have to uninstall anything, just overwrite.

Note: If you install cioscorp, you will have to reinstall preloader after so it can patch cios60

Okay, try getting a non-cIOS wad manager and installing the fix that way regardless. I don't know if that will work but it's worth a try.

And rich, the readme says that 4.0 is fully supported. The readme should probably tell you what to do.

Works perfectly for me.
pirated wii and GC games boot up just fine.

Anyone have a change log on cios 36 rev11?

 

[FenrirWolf]

One thing I'm pretty sure hasn't changed in cIOS rev11 is the IOS reload issue. Metroid Prime Wiimake still resets on me.

I don't have things like Rock Band instruments or USB->LAN adapters to test USB compatibility.

Not yet ... I was told that waninkoko will release it soon on his blog ... just not today.

I have installed it, and my USB Loader works perfectly (I see no adverse affects yet) However not sure if other USB items work along with USB Loader (I dont have any to test)

Games install quickly with it, and play perfectly.

NEW VERSION

THIS DOES NOT WORK ON LU64 WIIS. PLEASE WAIT A FEW MINUTES FOR ONE THAT DOES.

i got the old WAD Installer 1.1 and 1.2 to work on my Wii. But it doesnt seem to like the LUFIX file that i used to install. I took the "LU FIX" file from the data folder on the Softmii package and added a .WAD to it. I feel like im getting close to getting this working.. anyone with any ideas?
