Hacking Some problems with booting

[Sjaz]

Hello,

my Wii has some 'problems' when it's booting. Well, it aren't problems, but I don't know how to call it. I'll tell what I've done:

A while ago I installed BootMii as boot2. After that, everytime my Wii boots I'll see the following: cboot DOL loader. And then some text. After that, it launches WAD Mannager 1.4. I guess that's no problem, but it takes so much time before I can finally start a game after powering on my Wii.

So I read about preloader. With preloader I could immediately let the Wii boot to System Menu, so no longer the waiting! Well, installing went perfect, pretty easy. I restarted my Wii, but I still got to see the cboot thing and wad manager. After that, preloader launches.

My question is: is there a way to turn the cboot and WAD manager things off? Thank you very much.

Another question which has nothing to do with above: I'm going to buy Guitar Hero 5, but I read some things about a system update on the disc. I'm currently on 4.0E, but I don't want to update (or at least, is there an easy way to update, while keeping HBC and stuff?). So are the stories true about an update on the disc? If that's the case, is there a way to just play Guitar Hero 5 without updating? Thanks.

1. Delete the files SD:\startup.elf, SD:\boot.dol and SD:\bootmii\armboot.bin. Then, use the HackMii Installer to generate the original, cBoot2 unpatched file. That must do the work, I think.
2. GeckoOS?

easier would be to put out the SD card while starting the wii

 

[XFlak]

all u have 2 do is rename the bootmii folder

look into bootmii switch, THAT is the easiest fix, guaranteed

Doesn't he want to delete the cBoot2 thing? He will sure need to do what I said if needs to load BootMii.

Thank you, the cBoot and Wad manager things don't appear anymore

.

Going to buy GH 5 today. So if I just use GeckoOS, it'll block the update?

Mhhh...

i've found this in wiibrew, from 1.8 changelog

QUOTEIf a game requests an IOS that you don't have, the game's update partition will be searched for the IOS and the option to install the IOS will be given if it is found (if you have a modchip, turn off update blocking!)

However, i guess its not the same deal you asking.

Safer is to dump the game and load it via usb

 

[Sjaz]

Isn't there a back-up loader which can block it? Because I don't have an external HD or something.

And another problem... Since I deleted the bootmii files, my Wii fan keeps blowing when I turn it off! Is it just broken, or has it something to do with bootmii?

Which firmware are u running?
you can try to use starpatch
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/StartPatch

I've never used it, but it might do the trick.

As for the fan...have no idea.

 

[Sjaz]

Yeah, I already looked at StartPatch, but the Block Disc Updates is only for system menu 4.2 (I'm on 4.0E). Well, thanks anyway.

wrong....
look lower on this page

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/StartPatch

There is a version for 4.0

 

[Sjaz]

Yep, but that's an old version (StartPatch v4.0.5E). The newest version is StartPatch v4.2.3E, and only that version includes the block disc updates. Yes, I already tried it on my Wii, but there's no such option for 4.0

 

[Pakatus]

Advise you to use GX Loader or NeoGamma,

Both those loaders block updates, and they can boot burned disks (i guess originals too

)

It is safe, believe me. Remember that most of the channels, games and titles runs under a specify IOS. That will only install the IOS required by the game; no other title is involved on the proccess (including the System Menu). Otherwise, it won't run / you'll obtain a black screen. It was a good idea from the GeckoOS development team.

So I just first downloaded the game to see how it actually plays. It worked great after installing cIOSCORP 3.4, it only seemed that the online part didn't work. Well, I really wanted to play online so I went Googling. I found some things, and installed IOS56-64-v5146.wad which hopefully would fix the problem. And now the disc can't be read anymore, it just says when I boot the game: Unable to read the disc.

Well crap, it could load before I installed IOS56-64-v5146.wad. So, is there a way to uninstall the IOS or something?




EDIT: I think I'm going to update to 4.2E, that way I'll lose all my installed things (right?) so I can start all over again.

I heard I MUSN'T update through Nintendo's update, so is there some sort of tool?

AnyTitle Deleter DB? Anyway, if you don't have some IOS, like 37, 38, 53, 55 and 56, you can install them with Dop-IOS.

Thanks, I tried it, but I receive the following error:
Identifying as SysMenu... Error! ES_Identify (ret = -1017)
Error! ES_OpenContest (ret = -1017)
Region Detection failure! 0
Conf region: 2

Sooooo, I guess it doesn't work.

Also, check my EDIT:

You have to patch/install a trucha bugged version of the IOS 36 to make the app work correctly. Sorry about that. Regarding your question, well, have you seen the zektor's thread?

 

[Sjaz]

Thank you very much! I'm going to update then.
