Hacking The Preloader Guide

[Daisuke9]

Use WiiPower's Trucha Bug restorer to patch IOS36 (using cIOS). Then you'll be able to install Preloader.

im wondering if i will need to do this now or at all. i have'nt tried to install preloader yet. but if what your saying is, you already know i need to do this from what i have said, then i will get it done. i have tried using the startpatch but i got a - 1017 error. which i have read that is a sign that Trucha Bug is needed in order to get it to work.
does this sound right ?

with the 4.1 update, preloader 0.29 installs and loads fine, but it does not like the 4.0 hacks.ini, is there anyway to make it compatible or make/get a new one?

Does/Did the 4.1 update leave, restore, or remove the trucha bug when it was completed. also did it effect anything else besides the hacks .inin of preloader?

Daisuke9, how would i know if the trucha bug was still present? and no, the hacks.ini was the only thing affected, besides that it ran normally, however, i did have to reinstall it as it had been wiped from the update.

 

[Deezers]

Same problem.
The hacks.ini file doesn't work on 4.1E system software...

 

[slyfirth]

will they do a update for preloader .29 so it works with 4.1e? do you think

you would know if it was not present if you got a -1017 or a another error that happens when you run the preloader on your system.
thanks for the info.

i have 3.2j wii and i want to update to 4.0j offline. in some guide i read that i should install these:
1-install CIOS60.wad
2-system menu 4.0.wad
3-install preloader
so if the wad was wrong and my wii bricked then how can i install preloader?
can't i install it first??

 

[dkmaster]

When I open my wii does is it have to load preloader every time and then select the system menu? Can I configure it to load system menu when i push the power button?

Start preloader, open the "Settings" and select what you want(HBC, Sysmenu, ...).

Other than the hack.ini issue for 4.1 in Pre-loader v0.29 the disc spinning bug still exist in general though it was said to have been resolved with the release of v0.29. Whether online or offline and with Wiiconnect24 on or off.

Edit: Okay, got the new compatible ‘hacks.ini' for 4.1U and it works. So far the disc spinning bug that surfaced on 4.0U doesn't surface 4.1U. This is why I wanted 4.1 I think the Pre-loader v0.29 was conflicting with already existing bugs that menu 4.0U had that would make the screens lag in loading infrequently when clicking start on channels and the screen would just remain black, but one could still hear the menu music when WC24 was turned on etc. they would sometimes load and other times the system would have to be turned off. Also for some reason that menu 4.0 bug would the make the Disc endlessly spin with Pre-loader installed whether WC24 was on/off or either online/offline. So far I haven't experienced neither bug from Pre-loader or system menu 4.1 I'm glad Nintendo fixed that particular menu bug. Now this was how things were supposed to be.

Can't play US GC games on my 4.1E PAL system with cIOS rev 10. Pre-loader 0.29 anymore though. Even if I enabled "Region Free GC Games". It used to work with 3.4E PAL installed.
Region Free Wii games and Channels do work.

I even Nandcleaned it and reinstalled Pre-loader

Anyone got it to work?

Hello folks got a problem here
I used starfall to kill heatlh screen and then installled preloader on 3.2u(MiiWii package). I want it back but disabling prealoader health hack doesnt work, and i cant load starfall cause it shows error. Any help could be apreciated.

 

[falco123]

Does killing the health screen with preloader get rid of it when you run a game as well? or how do you get rid of that?

 

[dcoop]

Right, im starting to get a little bit confused about this.

I have Bootmii installed, as boot2 I think..(thats when bootmi starts up as soon as you switch on the wii, right?)

So, given that...do I need preloader? If I was to brick my Wii in any way..would bootmii sort me out, I have done a NAND dump at some point and backed it up on my PC. Or might I brick it in some way that would need both Bootmii AND preloader?

 

[slyfirth]

got the preloader working with my 4.1e wii with the new hacks has anyone tested the hacks to see if they work?

 

[ThaDraGun]

I Updated to 4.1, then I installed preloader 0.29 again. I copy and pasted the 4.1U hacks and when I went into the preloader menu to set the hacks up it gives me different errors:

(something cutoff at beginning) 138: expected 'offset' or 'value' before 'n' at line

Syntax error: expected EOF at line 1
QUOTE

Syntax error: expected EOF at line 10

Whats this mean?

 

[xboxrules]

I like dcoop's post #216 and would like to know too;

Do you use Pre and Bootmii or choose one?
