Hacking ULTIMATE System Menu 4.0 Guide

[TroyTheZombie]

it means, you have wads on your sd card. and now you have a "gift" preventing you from running it.




run nandclean, then take all the wads off your card and then run it.

Nevermind, The online way worked on the 2nd time. Thanks for the help though.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

I'd still remove dvx's "little" gift. can cause some problems for you should you ever want to use DVDx

 

[RODIFIRE]

any help for this?
My litle bro have a Wii too softmod
3.2e Wii HBC and play games With Backup Launcher
I want to ask what is the best for the Wii's bro to play the games back ups beter
is this firmware beter for a softmod Wii??
what Cios ios and other wad I must instal to do a better jop?
if you can help me to help my little bro please do it as much as best can play the Wii with out modchip

 

[TroyTheZombie]

Its kinda hard for me to understand your questions. that why i haven't answered them.

 

[RODIFIRE]

I mean is better to stay to 3.2e or to go to 4.0 the Wii??
it's soffmod without a chip don't have modchip
3.2e or 4.0 will play better the backups games?
and for a softmod wii want Cios rev is beter to use?
and what extra wad iso to install if there a iso wad that will do the jop easer for the Wii to play back up like the IOS37-64-v2070.wad I mean
I hope now I tell it better than before

 

[TroyTheZombie]

ok, i kinda get what you are asking now.


in all honesty, there is no need to stay at 3.2 anymore. 4.0 is just as hackable now. Plus you get the benefit of loading vc/wiiware from the sd card.

but before you start the process, install bootmii as boot 2 if possible, and do a nand backup. that way, if you fuck things up, you can restore your wii back to the way it is right now.

Just follow this guide, and you'll be fine. Just make sure you follow it EXACT.

 

[RODIFIRE]

so it Will not have any problem With the games?
like bug or freze the game or something like that on 4.0?
any Cios rev good for softWii?
or some other ios wad?

 

[TroyTheZombie]

4.0 has no bugs that will cause anything like that.

as far as cios, rev13a is the most compatible, but it has a small bug where you have to reboot the wii after each game played. not exactly a big deal, should be fixed when rev14 comes out.

and no ios file will magically make your wii play games better, lol. Don't install any unless you actually need it.

 

[RODIFIRE]

have 2 problems now
I have doit all like the guide say and like my Wii with Wiikey(and install the Cios rev13b to my and bro's Wii not the Cios rev10)
but on the preloader's systemmenu Hacks say "uldn't find "hack.ini" neither on FAT nor on on NAND! co" the other letters frond and back are missing cause of the screen end
when I press to go to Wii menu said the same
when I load the Wii backup loader Channel (Backup Launcher 0.3 GAMMA WiiGator) and press "B" button get a screen With CODE DUMP and all with leters and number and freeze the Wii need hard reset(this happend and to my Wii to the emulator snes9x and the new of the genesis)

 

[RODIFIRE]

someone to tell me why is this happed to my little's bro Wii?
I have write before the what is my probleme is there something don't get to try sayit better?
help me to help my bro to play

 

[2yugimoto]

is it okay to use wad manager 1.0 instead of 1.4 in this guide?

 

[madeirabhoy]

having followed these instructions i now want to use mplayer ce to watch movie files from my hard drive. is it too late as the instructions to get usb 2.0 working say 3.2 maximum

 

[assassda]

let me say that i warn all users to stay away from cioscorp. It caused me countless random bricks, and is in no way safe to use on 4.0, but it is safe on any firmware below.
thats very unfortunate but i have installed CIOSCORP dozens of times on multiples Wiis with no problem. Now with bootmii it should be completely safe to install cioscorp

Why I cant install IOS16 to a Wii 4.0? Because IOS16 is now a stub? Reinstall of patchmii overwrite the stubbed IOS254, right?
Or u mean I cant install anything into a stubbed location? If that the case, Nintendo should just stub IOS249. Most application will then have to be re-writed to allow loading from other IOS location.
you must remove the IOS16 stub first and then install the old hacked one. use anytitle deleter

So am I out of luck? There's no way to open it up and reflash it?
without preloader or Bootmii or a modchip unfortunately i think so

QUOTE(2yugimoto @ Jun 16 2009, 03:02 PM) is it okay to use wad manager 1.0 instead of 1.4 in this guide?

no because in the online guide you must use IOS35 unless you already have cios installed

from wiibrew: "If you plan on updating make sure to install the cIOS and DVDx before updating. "
so it seems like the thing to do is downgrade with IOS and cIOS-Downgrader. then install usb 2.0 and then update


TroyTheZombie: thanks for helping out with support

 

[drSTRIFE]

Just a question before I use this guide to upgrade my wii to 4.0.

I am currently on 3.3e official firmware with a wiikey2 modchip, homebrew channel and geckoOS installed and I am really only interested in installing the USBLoader.

I am not able to install BootMii as boot2 and I am planning to use the online version.

I am just wondering, in case something unexpected happens and the wii bricks during the update, will I be able to recover using preloader? If that's the case, I should install preloader before updating shouldn't I?

Thanks.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

technically, yes. since with preloader you can access the HBC, there fore you can access wad manager, or cIOS downgrader. Meaning you can either use cios downgrader to go back to 3.2, or install a system menu wad.

I still suggest installing bootmii as an ios and doing a nand backup before doing anything.

also, after you do the update, the old preloader won't be there anymore, you'll have to install preloader.29.

i'm confused by the way this guide is written. if i want to do online install, do i do steps 1 to 7 then 9 to 15?

 

[TroyTheZombie]

online install is actually really easy.

what firmware are you at right now?

 

[assassda]

i'm confused by the way this guide is written. if i want to do online install, do i do steps 1 to 7 then 9 to 15?

you do the online steps... which are 1-7

the offline guide goes up to 15 you dont have to use both

I need this wonderful forums help. I supplied this tutorial and files to my friend.
He said everything was done as the tutorial said to.
He is upgraded to 4.0, but for some reason, I dont know what the hell he did.
His Wii is all in Japanese.

Any ideas what he did, and mainly how I can fix it.
Thank you in advance....
