Hacking starfall VS. gecko OS

[CreX]

I can't see any reason to be so unpleasant to a newcommer. Everyone is new to a subject the first time.

Ofc ppl should read before asking, but when you are new to things it can be confusing and you mix things up.

as long as it is import try using gecko os and make sure starfall disables the auto update check...if you use backups from another region and don't have a modchip then there is no problem as the backup loaders all disable updates...

Gecko OS also skips updates...

Starfall is harder to install : if you don't have the 3.2 firmware you must downgrade, but it can do more than region-free Wii games and auto-skip game updates, like removing the health screen when you boot your Wii, make your channels region-free, or booting the rescue-menu with gamecube pad.

Gecko OS is a normal homebrew, so you have to use it each time to boot your imported game, annoying when you're lazy like me. But it have a cheat system : Ocarina (I didn't tried it yet, but you can find cheat codes in Gecko forum, so I guess it do work), and let you copy game saves that are not supposed to be copyable on your SD card (usually games with online things)

And I think Gecko Os has a very slightly better compatibility, I have only two games that don't work when I launch them from Wii menu (I have a PAL Wii) : Trauma Center 2 and Tales of Symphonia 2, but they both work fine with Gecko OS.

oic. i do have the 3.2 fw, 3.2U to be exact. i dont think ill be using the cheat system for gecko os but it does seem like the compatibility for gecko os is really good.

what do you think the chances are of being able to play Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom on a NORTH AMERICAN wii? i really want to get that game!

No idea. I tend to stick to my own region.

Use BrickBlocker on the Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom ISO before you burn it. Or use Wii Update Manager to see if the ISO is compatible with your Wii 3.2U (most likely is).

GeckoOS

What is GeckoOS:

GeckoOS is a homebrew operating system that has it's roots from back in the day of the GameCube...
It was in a way formerly known as Gecko Region Free... It is coded by a very smart guy named NUKE and can be found at:
http://usbgecko.com/

NUKE's blog can be found at:
http://www.unrom.com/

GeckoOS came into being to be used with the USBgecko device.

USB Gecko is a homebrew programmers tool to allow you to interface your Wii or GameCube console to your PC for allowing you to debug code using libogc and the devkitpro toolchain. The adapter also has an open source API and source code examples showing how you can write your own custom tools or debugging suites.

Already USB Gecko has full game remote debugging suites, cheat engines, file uploaders, music players, screen grabbers, dvd utilities.

Discover the the ultimate homebrew programmers toolkit.

GeckoOS has evolved over time to me more than just a debugging tool or homebrew loader...
it now can rip Wii games for backups via usb 2.0 so a Wii game takes only 2hrs instead of the 5hrs via wifi....
(USBGecko device needed also you have to use another piece of homebrew available on the website!)

It also has the ability to find and hack cheat codes with help of the USBGecko device and a pc app named Wiird
(Wiird: http://wiird.l0nk.org/wp/)
And it also now has the Stand alone cheat code engine Ocarina by: Link built in!
It still has it's original feature of region free and it bypasses the update partition on the game disc!

And now it even has features to remove the save copy flags and lets you move the disc channel wherever you want...
Thanks to the new rebooter option.... So GeckoOs although it's no HBC is definitely a bad ass piece of homebrew and is not out of date and can be used by all....

" Just want to say that not all features are listed here and if I made a mistake let me know via private mesg so I can edit it... let's not clutter a post with corrections I will give you credit for the correction... so no need to clutter the post"...

Remember Google is your friend!,

what do you mean when you said "use the wii update manager to check if iso is compatible" ? i didnt get that part.
