Hacking vWii sneek

[markehmus]

nice , conanac, you even themed your vwii menu.

i built this but i just fail to load it , im using HBC and bootmii as ios from this page https://code.google.com/p/gbadev/wiki/Downloads on my vWii

are you using nswitch from here :https://code.google.com/p/custom-di/downloads/list

edit: my new guess would be from here: https://code.google.com/p/gadget4sneek/downloads/list

Yep, seems like they changed the Content ID, just like I said before.

I used the nswitch from Maxternal (your first link). It contains an option to boot armboot.bin without the need to use bootmii as IOS (it uses crediar's technique). What I did was to replace the content of armboot.c to the one from SNEEK compiled armboot.bin (after using raw2c to convert it to a combination of armboot.c and armboot.h files). And then following Maxternal suggestion and set the option in the code directly to skip the use of IOS 254 (bootmii IOS).

Hope that helps.

Well, the armboot.bin executable doesn't contain any Nintendo code, so it should be fine to redistribute the modified nswitch, I guess.

Yay! I got it working!

I'm not distributing the kernel files, so don't ask me. I am writing up a guide on how to compile a vWii compatible version of SNEEK on HacksDen though.

Thanks, looking forward to it!!!

 

[drmarvin]

I'm blown away. I had no idea this would be possible. I really enjoy SNEEK, so being about to use it in vWii would be amazing.
Thanks for all the work.

Most def looking forward to the guide on compiling vWii for Sneek XD

 

[JoostinOnline]

I think I'll have it done today.

I can't wait!
I can't believe how soon this was made possible!

 

[JoostinOnline]

I can't wait!

In that case, make it 3 weeks.

In that case, make it 3 weeks.

Lol, I am already getting stuff ready, and might not even need a guide if I'm that good at doing stuff.
I'm not a coder.

That's pretty freakin awesome

JoostinOnline -- Browsing through your guide (nice write-up).
Just to be sure, do we still need 00000001.app? build_boot2.cmd r112 uses it (with elfins for building di.bin), however build_boot2.cmd r188 does not use it (with efix for building di.bin).

Cheers.

I managed to compile them, the DI part perhaps requiring more work (assuming I did everything properly). Even when I used SNEEK without DI, I could not play disc-based game from the disc channel (I need to use WiiLauncher application to do that).

And I used file 0000000d.app taken directly from IOS 80 of WiiMode or VWii NAND dump for the base in compiling SNEEK.

Here is the video in case you want to see.

AHH! how did you theme your Vwii.
It looks great, thats the theme i had on my original wii, i would love to have it on my Vwii.
The vwii looks so plain in the default white theme.

Any chance you can write up a quick guide or link me to one on how to theme Vwii properly?
Thanks.

Lol, guess you don't. I haven't done this in a long time and I hadn't realized it was no longer needed. I'll remove that part from my guide.

I'm about to write up instructions on themeing your SNEEK install.

Thanks so much for the guide! I'm installing everything now, though it appears that

IOS60Module.zip is a dead link.

It's not needed. Refresh the page.
