Hacking triiforce mrc

[Sinyk]

My guide is here

I would realy love to set this up on my Wii using my 2 gig sd card. Does anyone have a link to a "easy" guide for this. Started using one on this site but it seemed harder than modding the console itself.

Thanks for the help.

not hard at all, all you need to do is a NAND dump using "Simple FS Dumper 0.42" which will dump the wii NAND to SD/USB1.1 or USB2.0 device then open the dump in "ShowMiiWads", drag and drop what VC/WW you want in the dump, pop the SD/USB back in the Wii, open triiforce/Triiforce MRC select a game and it should load. The only hardish bit would be setting up the images but Kallstar has already done some for you as a guide

I have a copy of the nand I got when I first softmodded my Wii (using the guide on this site) So was just going to use a copy of that. Will I just copy it to the route of my SD card and then run showmiiwads etc.

Thanks

if it a bootmii image then it'll need decrypting, follow Sinyk's guide as it seems pretty thorough but cant guarantee any thing as i haven't used it

Just made a dump using showmiiwads and a backup from bootmii.

Now i want to erase all the vc/ww games that are on the nand dump.

If i remember correctly i need to delete everything in the following folders.

ticket0010001
title0010001

Is this correct?

Or is it save to just delete the entire title and ticket folders?

Just open the nand in showmiiwads and delete the existing vc/ww games you can delete unwanted channels if you don't want to use them also

 

[Sinyk]

Like he said above. ShowMiiWads in showmiinand mode will show you a list of everything on the nand. You can just go and delete the unwanted channels from it with the right click menu.

I really like the mods you are doing!

Have you thought on making all mods on the same executable?
B button can be used to cycle through all 'skins'. You can make a struct like this:
typedef struct{
u8 columns;
u8 rows;
u8 startx;
u8 starty;
u8 separationx;
u8 separationy;
u8 console_fgcolor;
u8 console_bgcolor;
char* subdirectory;

char* img_background;
char* img_selector_up;
char*img_ selector_down;
etc...
}
Then make a table of this struct and you will be able to make a quick skin selector!
You can save the actual skin on the triiforce_mrc.cfg file and set it to default.

Thanks for the info.

I got all the channels and wii ware and vc off of there.

I'm going to use the boot.dol from post #448 that way i can run everything from my usb hard drive.


Where i can i get a forwarder channel that points to usb? I've looked and must have missed seeing it or there isn't one.

 

[Sinyk]

go to my guide from a few posts ago. There should be a download link to a USB only forwarder. If not, download the triiforce_pack_R2.2 from there, it's in there.

 

[icebrg5]

Thanks i got it now.

Also is the boot.dol from your post #448 the newest one that loads triiforce from usb and images from usb? or is there a newer boot.dol i should use?

 

[icebrg5]

One more question.

When using showmiiwads to load my nand to install the vc ww games.

Some of the ios files are showing up as 0MB

Is this normal?

 

[Sinyk]

Not sure. Maybe it only shows in whole numbers and anything smaller than 1MB is listed as 0MB?

 

[icebrg5]

It does show sizes below 1MB



I checked another dump of a different bootmii backup that was made with showmiiwads and its the same thing.A lot of the ios report 0MB as size.

Could it be it didn't get dumped properly?

 

[Sinyk]

I wouldn't go deleting IOS's from your nand, just worry about the channels that you don't want. I don't know why they would appear as 0MB, but if it's an IOS, I prefer to leave it be, just in case.

 

[icebrg5]

I wasn't going to delete them just didnt know if they had to be there in order for triiforce to work properly or not.


I'm going to redump the same nand from the bootmii backup again using showmiiwads and see if its any different.

Anyone else experience the cannot find title list error randomly? I get it about 40% of the time so it boots me to the Wii menu and I have to try again.

 

[callmebob]

Just to compare, I wanted to try the 9 icon version. It won´t load any images though. Does it have it´s own image pack? I´ve tried searching, but the hits a few, and useless.

I have the 12 icon set, and the dvd cover versions of this, and they both work and look okay. I prefer the 12 icon version, but I would like to check out the 9 icon version before I say, yes this is the one.

I would suspect it might use the same images as the 12 icon version, but apparently not. Can anyone tell me where a usable pack is, or what I have to rename my current folder to? Maybe copy it somewhere on my sd card? No info was given.

Thanks for any help.

 

[icebrg5]

I'm using the forwarder usb channel that was included in the Triiforce_Pack_R2.2

Now what i have done is replaced the main image of it with one more to my liking but the only thing i cant figure out how to replace is the text in the lower left hand corner that says MRC version 7 or something similar to that.

Any ideas?

The new wad i made works fine except for this text showing up and i cant figure it out using customizemii.

 

[Sinyk]

It may be in the pack, but I don't use it myself. I use the SD loader because I keep the boot.dol on the sd card. It makes testing out changes to triiforce that much easier.
