[Dominator211]

My iOS 249 does work on wad manger so I rmebered I just used another iOS but idc which one it was and I don't want to brick

Now I got a problem whatever wad I choose it says "ERROR (try = -2011)
I have never gotten any error before

Do you have a custom IOS 249 installed? If not, that will explain why it isn't working.
I would recommend you to use D2X.

If your IOS36 is patched, then everything else should "just work". What mod manager are you using? I prefer the latest MMM.

Wad manager 1.7 and I know I patched 236 I think

Get Syscheck and paste here what you got. That will be the best way to know what your Wii currently got installed.

Basically, it will show every IOS your Wii will have installed, with all the patches it may or may not have. That will help us know what is wrong with your system.

Make sure "<ahb_access/>" is in the meta.xml. It should go in the "<app>" section. (You can paste the ahb tag right after the "<app>" if you're not familiar with XML.)

The default meta.xml for MMM does not have the tag in it so you will get the -2011 error. (I think it's ES_NOACCESS or something like that.)

Wad manager 1.7 is old, and worked only on specific cIOS version/base.

be sure you use this wad manager, not an old one (not MMM) :
https://github.com/FIX94/Some-YAWMM-Mod/releases

don't try to reload to slot 249 or 236, this wad manager uses a clean IOS58.
you don't need anything else than clean IOS58, and the provided meta.xml, and of course updated HBC, 1.0.7 or newer, working on IOS58 too.

check your HBC is correctly running on IOS58 by pressing Home button and looking at the top right of the screen.

could you please explain
which files i need

could you please explain
which files i need

Just get the zip file from the link and extract the folder to your /apps folder.

/apps/yawmm/boot.dol
/apps/yawmm/icon.png
/apps/yawmm/meta.xml

I looked at the meta file and it has the ahb_access tag in it already.

what about the elf file

 

[Cyan]

you don't need it, but you can extract it too, it will not be a problem.
The homebrew channel list and launch the boot.dol, if you put the boot.elf too it's not a problem. the elf file is used to find bugs in the program in case of problem.

Really, it's ALL 3 SAME FILES for all homebrew.
there's really nothing complicated.
"boot.dol, icon.png, meta.xml" Repeat for all homebrew.

 

[GreyWolf]

I just downloaded the release zip to make sure the meta.xml was good. There is no elf file. The separate one is as Cyan said. It's got debug symbols in it.

i will let you guys know if it works
