Hacking Super Mario Galaxy 2 Backup loader info

[hdhacker]

Priiloader isn't needed, and is a waste of time if you have bootmii as boot2.

BootMii doesn't block system updates. If you get a fixable brick, it's nice to be able to recover instead of going back to an ancient backup.

Botmii doesn't, but startpatch does. If you have bootmii as boot2 and all you want is to block disc/online updates (and stuff like region free chans/disc, skip healthscreen) then startpatch is the obvious choice - absolutely no reason to use priiloader.

Ancient backup? I dunno about you but I have a backup from when I first installed bootmii and one from after my wii was fully configured the way I like it. If I was paranoid I could also make one before making any changes to my system (but I've never had a intentional brick and I doubt I ever am, so those two nand backups do me).

 

[hdhacker]

Why would you advise someone to literally patch the OS instead of installing a utility that does the same thing without potentially fucking up your Wii? It makes no sense.

 

[George Dawes]

Do you even know how priiloader works? It places itself in the boot sequence (pretty much replacing the system menu). There is just as much potential for a fuck up with either program. The difference is the priiloader menu is totally unnecessary if you have bootmii as boot2.

I have a WiiKey 2 with an 4.2U and I keep getting an "Unable to read disc" error whenever I get a star. Does that "change game ID to RB4E01" really work? Doesn't sound very reliable to me.

If you don't have Resident Evil 4 Wii edition (U), feel free to try it. (Resident Evil 4 uses "RB4E.")

I see. I was going to say "why the trash post" until I read the parenthesis. Okay so that basically proves, that fix is bogus. Anyone else have any other ideas? I've downloaded the ISO at least twice. I'll try a non-scrubbed release this time.

I ran the latest version of pimp my wii and updated all my ios with it. i'm running 4.1u. I tried to play smg2 using usb loader gx with fix error 002 turned on and using ios 249 and I just get a black screen. From what I've read I should be able to get this game to work with these settings. What am I doing wrong? thanks in advance for all your help.

 

[Dialexio]

What version of cIOS do you have? If you don't have rev19 already, get it and report back.

I believe pimp my wii updated the cIOS rev 19. Is it possible it did this, or am I mistaken?

 

[bestperson]

do I have to uninstall rev 17 first before installing rev 19?

Nope, you could install over it.

 

[bestperson]

does anybody know if Pimp My Wii automatically updates cIOS for you?

Nope, you could install over it.

Okay. I just installed cIOS249 rev 19 and I tried to launch the game again using both usb loader gx and wiiflow and this time instead of just freezing at a black screen it just went straight to the wii system menu.

I'm assuming I'm missing another IOS. Did I not choose the correct base IOS to install rev19 on?

I'm pretty sure any base IOS would work, but I know the game works for sure with cIOS rev19 base IOS57 and Configurable USB Loader v57b7 (no funky options like forcing NTSC or anti 002 fix).

 

[bestperson]

okay. i just tried it on configurable usb and I get this error "wbfs error: not a wii disc"

"returned! (ret = -1)"

Hi all I've got a PAL Wii 4.1e

Neogamma R9 b23
cIOS rev 14

The game loads up fine, I do have the wonky remote issue but my biggest issue is on the world map screen if you stay on that screen for longer than a few minutes the music disappears and I get a Disc Could Not be Read error.

Anyone else experiencing this, and more so have you found a fix for it?

My game is on a Sony DVD-R burnt at x4 using imgburn.

Thanks

Sounds like the game is corrupted.

I've only ever had 1 problem (so far) with SMG2:
On the first star of 2-2 (Hot-Stepping Dash Pepper in Hightail Falls Galaxy), every time I get the star, the screen just goes black and freezes. Consequently, I am not able to get any stars in that galaxy. I've tried playing on to other levels and worlds and then come back, but it always freezes at the same point.
I'm using CFG Loader 57b4.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or fixed it. If so, what setup/options are you using?

Thought i would create an account and post this in case other people have been having the same problem. I have been troubleshooting this problem for over a week now. I tried 3 different backups trying to get it to work and was semi successful. i was able to get the first mission oh hightail falls to finish, but then the 2nd one froze, then the prankster star was locking up. I even went from a pal to ntsc rom and converted my save game... didnt help. In the end, I ran it on ios222 instead of 249 and it worked perfectly. Wish I did that in the first place. Good luck.
