Hacking [Tutorial] Offline Downgrading

[bowser]

Thanks for replying. So I can use it to change from 3.1J to 3.2U right? Just want to be absolutely sure. What region did you change from/to?

Yes. I tried 3.2U to 3.2E, 3.2E to 3.2J, and 3.2J to 3.2U. It works exactly like the online version, except it checks the SD card for the file before connecting to NUS.

There is a cios installer included with AnyRegionChanger_local. Should I run that first before running AnyRegionChanger? What exactly does it install?

Hello

What's the difference between IOS15-64-v257.wad and IOS15-64-v257.wad.out.wad ?

 

[Diffusion]

There is a cios installer included with AnyRegionChanger_local. Should I run that first before running AnyRegionChanger? What exactly does it install?

It installs a cios, you don't need it to go from 3.1J to 3.2U .

 

[KiiWii]

Sorry been away fro a few days.

I installed then in the exact order i wrote them in my post.

I used cioscorp installer and put wads 1c through to 2b - in the cioscorp folder in the root of the SD, and deleted any cioscorp wads.

Worked like a charm.

so

run wad man
install ios16
run wad man custom
install cios249 r7
run (modified) "cioscorp installer" making sure ur correct region sysmenu is in there
Done

(3.2 etc: wads were scrubbed out of SSBB and WiiSports and that ghey kissing fish disk../ softmii package for cios249r7)

This means i can take this SD, my softmii SD, and Zelda to anyones house and mod their wii for them without the need for tinterwebs.

@Batbox : dont see why you couldnt upgrade like this.

@WiiPower:

THANKS A BUNCH Diffusion!!! I successfully changed my Wii from 3.1J to 3.2U using AnyRegionChanger offline version. Since all my current backups are NTSC-U and have been burned with region as Japanese, I left the game region option set to Japan and they still work perfectly! No more fumbling around in the settings menu!

Thanks again Diffusion!

 

[batbox]

so

run wad man
install cios16
run wad man custom
install cios249 r7
run (modified) "cioscorp installer" making sure ur correct region sysmenu is in there

Did you mean install IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad not cIOS 16? As I cant find a cIOS 16 anywhere. Or am I just being thick?

 

[KiiWii]

sorry yes ios16-64-v257-prod.wad.

My bad.

[batbox]

magic.

did you get my PM?

 

[BigEN]

there is one thing you guys have to know ...
you can downgrade offline with anyregion changer

just download the files from nintendo and place them in the correct folders

Create directory: [sd]\IOS0000100002\ and place files in that folder

Create directory: [sd]\IOS/000001/000023/ and place files in that folder

Create directory: [sd]\IOS/000001/00001e/ and place files in that folder

Create directory: [sd]\IOS/000001/000002/ and place files in that folder

Create directory: [sd]\IOS/000001/000002/ and place files in that folder

Does that really work as you wrote it?
Which ARC you used?

Asked that, cause my Wii is offline (don't have WLAN) and I want to use that method.

 

[KiiWii]

There is ARC offline mod you can definietly use, not sure if u can use 1.1b m5 cos it downloads modified system menu afaik.

(unless anyone knows how to get the prepatched sysmenu)

 

[batbox]

Have to say a big thanks to KiiWii

I just updated my 3.1E to 3.2E offline using his method.

All went smoothly and quickly

 

[BigEN]

I searched for the offline MOD of ARC but didn't find it!?

And what do you mean with the "modified system menu" of ARC 1.1b m5? What does it modify?

 

[Diffusion]

I searched for the offline MOD of ARC but didn't find it!?

It's on the Korean region change thread.

 

[KiiWii]

Have to say a big thanks to KiiWii

I just updated my 3.1E to 3.2E offline using his method.

All went smoothly and quickly

- and I thank WiiPower and Diffusion for passing on their knowledge to me.

BigEN: Modified system menu means it installs the system menu with hacks like starfall recovery and region free built in.

(Imagine if you have a fresh system menu, apply hack then dump the system menu which is now modified. This installs a hacked system menu: correct me if im wrong)

Okay. So I can jsut install Starfall to use that hacks.
Thanks

-btw- Are all the directory settings (posted above) right?

 

[Diffusion]

Create directory: [sd]\IOS0000100002\ and place files in that folder

That should be [sd]:/IOS/0000001/000002/

 

[KiiWii]

i think there are 0's and /'s missing all over that post.

Edit: grand master Diffusion beat me to it.

To clear this up:

The IOS folder on the root of ur SD should contain the folder: 0000001

which should in turn contain the folders:

000001e
0000002
0000023
0000024

Thats if u want all of them on one SD

(my internet is playing up and my post keeps completing before im done, and the /'s keep deleting them selves..., apologies if it makes no sense)

 

[wolffangalchemist]

but ARC doesn't work with system menu 3.4j/u/e/k does it?
can you offline downgrade with waninkoko's downgrader, or do you have to use wad manager and install each ios in order?

 

[KiiWii]

ARC will work with 3.4 as long as u have hbc and ios16 installed.

I would recommend the wad method.
