I'm pretty sure that StartPatch is only temporary, so you'd lose the hacks when you shut off your Wii.

You also run the risk on bricking your Wii if you turn it off suddenly while you're using the app, so be extra careful about that too.

EDIT: I was wrong, I was thinking of Patcher_SM_4.0

Here's
the link to the StartPatch 4.0 thread if anyone wants it.

what i dont understand is if there is a region free hack with StarPatch

then why cant the same offsets be used with PreLoader>>>???

i'm not a good enough coder to know the answer, i can make small changes and recompile but i dont understand why theres no region free hack for 4.0 with Preloader

its the only thing we need and 4.0 is totally pwn'd

i allready did this a while back you have to install startpatch first... before you install preloader... beacuse preloader moves the sysmenu....
they work side by side fine...
you just cant accesses startpatch after you install preloader and you dont need to install preloaders hacks... you just use it for brick protection...

What do you mean can't access startpatch? I have 4.0 with preloader installed and I can load StartPatch with HBC but I can't install any hacks. Keep getting error message: "The patch section was not found in the DOL. Nothing to do."

thats what i mean by you cant access it duh.... once preloader is installed you cant go back and install hacks because preloader moves the sysmenu....
if you already have preloader installed and want to use startpatch then just follow method 2 of this guide http://www.yafaze.com/wii/menu4.0hack.html
the install the startpatch patches then install preloader as normal.....

hey kitt do you know the steps i keep getting an error try again later with that link

Probably the same as you explained in that Ultimate 4.0 thread except installing and setting the hacks you want to use in startpatch before installing preloader v.29 the first time.

I'ma drop down to 3.2 again and start from scratch to see if it works.

hold off just pm kitt & explained my set up see what kitt has to say

I see you deleted the posts of your setup. What's up with that? Anyway I dunno if it's too late for me. I'm at the installing 4.0 step.

This appears to be the page you were looking for and was missing.

Ok what kitt said works.

I followed the guide on the first page until after the IOS60 updater. then i ran startpatch and installed all the hacks. then i installed preloader and set 'skip disc updates'. then installed cioscorp & cios60bf. then i reinstalled preloader.

Everything seems to work just fine. At least the health warning and no background music in the menu did. Still gotta test region free stuff. I really just wanted that blasted BG music to go away. LOL

I'm off to experiment.

Region free doesn't seem to work. Tried with No More Heroes PAL and didn't show up in the Disc Channel. Says disc can't be read. It can be launched from Gamma though. All my NTSC games work fine from Disc Channel.

I tried to post this before, but apparently it didn't go through.

If I was to install this, is there any way to undo the patches at a later date?
