Hacking ULTIMATE System Menu 4.0 Guide

[Macky]

Macky: This is an internet issue. Ive had this problem please trust me. look into buying an ethernet adapter or try moving the wii to a different location before posting again

Well it doesnt happen when I use the other channels or other homebrew programs, its only this one thing that doesn't work, the Wii is less than 30cm away from my AP. Im not going to fork out $50 just for an Ethernet adapter that might not fix the problem...

I just noticed one problem. I'm not 100% what is causing it but this is whats happening:
WHen I Boot up wii the wii discs load just fine. However, whenever I go into the homebrew channel then exit out of it... when wii reboots the disc says 'this disc cannot be read'
I turn off the wii and turn it back on the disc reads just fine.
If I go into a game and then exit out of it the disc still reads fine.
It's only if I go into homebrew channel, then come back out without completely turning the power off then on again that it messes up. It does it for every game every single time.

I'm not sure if this was happening before I did this tutorial but I didnt notice it if it was. I think something went wrong and thats why theres the little bug.
Anyone else experience this and does anyone know how I can fix it?

To fix my problem, should I try to reinstall The Homebrew channel... or System menu 4.0?
If I do reinstall them am I going to need to do some of the steps from this guide all over again? or should it be ok still.

Last thing, if I'm going to be installing 4.0 over again is it better to install Waninkoko's 4.0 Updater or can I install 4.0 system wad?

why did u add this to the guide

1) Run NUSD with the title "0000000100000024" and v"1042" check "Pack WAD" and hit "Start NUS Download"

http://wiibrew.org/w/images/6/6d/NUSD_v1.zip

2) Rename "0000000100000024.wad" to "IOS36-64-v1042.wad" and put it on your SD card X:/IOS36-64-v1042.wad

are these 2 steps still important for me to do because i already am able to do what i need to for a 4.0 wii.

i already got a 4.0 wii from your other guide before you edited with those steps.i have to say i got bricked twice from that guide before you added these steps maybe because i installed preloader after the firmware update then this the ios60 again this it really installed because i had my gc controllers unplunged again and this time i didn't forget to take out my memory cards.the ios60 install was my first brick but at least i had preloader installed at that time.then of coarse the CIOS60BF.wad bricked me i knew which i expected because your guide says that.my bricks all happened yesterday because that is when i decided to reinstall ios60 and cioscrop.don't know why i wanted to get ios60 installed but i i guess because i wanted to go into the shop channel again because i guess that is what it was for.

anyway thanks for the guide it helped.i'm able to do everything a 4.0 wii can do for about a week now and that was before i installed ios60.also i kind of liked getting bricked because i never got bricked before and i always wanted to unbrick myself.

also, all the files that you supplied us from the link, we have to rename all the DOLs to "boot.dol" right?

 

[wiimanizer]

sorry for the triple post, but please give me an answer...these guys are giving replies waay to quick and these threads are quicky moving to the next pages and are close to getting quickly "ignored"

 

[mickthestud]

format your sd card and put it on again in X:/apps/firmware-updater/boot.dol

Okay I went through the entire thing step by step and everything worked without errors.. but I still have 3.2 on my Wii?

Anyone have an idea where I screwed up and what step I should do over?

Im guessing the updater part

start again from the top and make sure you keep an eye on it because if the internet connection fails it may just quit and restart so run it a few times untill it says completed 100%

assassda - thanks for the guide. I read everything many times and did the research. I was on 3.2U and now on 4.0U Everything worked great. I appreciate the instructions.
Only 2 areas I need to figure out now....
USB microphone that was working before that isn't now is my older USB microphone. I read of a patch somewhere, so I'm off to find that.
The other area that I have questions on is I have only 1 hack in the preloader (disk update check). I added the hacks.ini to the root of the SD, but it says it can't find it... I've read the instructions many times and downloaded it again... I guess I'll keep looking for more direction on this.

Lastly, is it safe to update the Nintendo Channel?

Try the hacks at http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/hacks (if you are on a US or Eur Wii at least) - US worked for me. Other 4.0U hacks I found came up empty in Preloader but the wiibrew.org list worked.

I already hacked my 3.4 Wii with the Twilight Hack and installed the HB Channel several months ago.
Last week I upgraded to 4.0 by using the builtin Systemupdate function from the Wii-menu.

I am currently running "official" (?) 4.0 and HB Channel works well, also installing WiiWare/WAD works without problems.

Is there any possibility to update from regular 4.0 to the 4.0 version from Waninkoko?

Best regards

 

[Gullwing]

There is no current way to downgrade from 4.0 right? Because I updated my PAL wii and I want to install wads...
