Hacking System Menu questions/thoughts

I haven't asked one question in this thread. So can this thread get back on topic?

That's because you think you know what you're talking about and start giving everyone false information.

I answered maybe one wrong answer. ONE! Get over it! I even removed the post.

You guys are a trip... it's like a damn television show around here... but I guess it wouldn't be interesting if someone didn't flamed on or slapped in the face... Hey, it's all in fun anyways!

i got booted from #wiidev earlier for saying a bad word, "backup!"

Backup!Backup!Backup!Backup!Backup!Backup!Backup!Backup!

Fuck'em if they can't take a joke!

Anyways... I am not sure where to post this part of my entry... but for

CIOSCORP w/ preloader installed

I am able to get softchip and gamma to load from preloader autoboot dol feature...

 

[Wiisel]

so do you plan on a separate region free solution? as starfall patches do bugger all for me

 

[david432111]

Nice finally someone who brought this thread back on topic.

@Ironmask How did get them to load via the preloader?

why not install IOS249 as IOS30? I've always wondered that... though I don't know anything about IOS's so my question might be stupid... sorry if it is...

to answer this question take a look at the CIOSWADS. Notice anyting. Like the lower # IOS are all the same size. That is because they are all the same thing!
WiiGator cIOS36r7 i believe.

Putting IOS249 at IOS30 only accomplishes 1 thing. Allowing 1:1 backups to show up in the disc channel. Which is the same thing that was accomplished by patching the R7 dip module into IOS30 making it cIOS30.

Here's how it all works simplified.

1. System Menu uses IOS30. It needs the dip7 module so it can read backups to display their ICON/BANNER/SOUND in disc channel. With original IOS30 since there is no dip7 in it so it will only display originals in disc channel.

2. When you press start to launch the backup, the system menu passes control over to the IOS that the game uses. (search for "game ios list" in gbatemp search box).
All the other IOS were patched with Dip7 so that at this stage the backup disks can run because all the IOS that they use are now CIOS with dip7 module. If you were to say forget to Install the CIOS21.wad then games that use IOS21 would show up in disc channel but not be able to launch because IOS21 would still be original and not able to read backups.

so... stage 1: dip module for system menu so backups will show up in disc channel
stage 2: dip module in the other IOS so backups will launch from disc channel
stage 3: Houston we have Liftoff!

I'm currently working at WIIOS, but i have some trouble to get wad loading to work. The code is based on the multi_cios_installer, but i changed some stuff. For example it doesn't create temporary files for the contents anymore, it stores the files directly in memory instead, this is more easy to code(at least to me) and it's a little faster. And i changed the order in which everything is done, if i add multiple different sources, i need download->decrypt->patch->encrypt->install and not download->decrypt->patch->encrypt in a loop for each content. But don't expect a release this week, there are a few things i want to be done before i do that.

PS: WIIOS is only the working title, i'm still searching for a good name

We have a little problem. Every game I try is asking for an update from the disc channel. That includes my originals.

There's no risk in updating? I installed CIOSCORP obviously.

Get Starfall! It's the 3 time you ask this. (if i haven't missed one or more times)

 

[mestapho]

Do you have Starfall installed?

Is it set to block updates?

Hey peeps
Been reading with interest but the threads moving quicker than i can read it due to limited time online atm!! Im at around page 40ish!!
If someone could pm me a link to cioscorp id be grateful. Oh and where to find CIOS30.
Couple of questions too.
At the moment im only interested in changing the IOS's for GHWT and RB2, ill change others as and when needed, so ideally only want to alter the IOS these games uses. i know what RB2 uses, but can anyone tell me which one GHWT uses as i only have a disc?
Also, has anyone tried GHWT thru the Disc Channel using this method, and can they confirm that the Music Store works ok?
Oh yeah, how much SD space do i need to dump my NAND? Using WUFE if i remember correct?


Cheers

 

[MrBubbles]

I'M SORRY!

But the last person who said something along the lines of don't try it. I installed Starfall and I can play my originals, sorry AGAIN!

Which NAND dumper should I use to dump my nand before doing this?

I haven't had the chance to install this yet. My days have been packed lately, but I finally have time today!

And how large is the nand dump?

 

[stayingarmed]

seems the only nand dumper I could get to work correctly was Yet Another Wii Nand Dumper "YaWnD"

I'm not sure if all nands are the same size because I think it will vary with amount of channels/saves on the wii (I think, don't quote me on it). Mine was a little over 500mb
