Hacking Wii Disk Loaders Issues and Answers :

[djtaz]

Question #1
Update your cIOS and your loader wad file - just do them two and see how it works

Question #2
yeah - sounds like it may be a cios problem - try installing the one in my sig - should be all you need - if that fails uninstall IOS249 with any title deleter (AND ONLY IOS249 - BRICKING IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY TITLE DELETER)

Questions #3 & #4

You use wad manager to install a wad - the guide in my zip explains how its done and gives a link to different styles if you want others.
you need a specific version of DVDx and mPlayer - take a look on http://www.wadder.net
yes - sound is a problem on that game for some wii's - its a known issue and hasnt been resolved with the gamma loader.

I try to install cios_fix either in Wad Manager or Custom Wad Manager, but it can not get it through. Do you have anyway to uninstall them completely and start over?

You mentioned that I may skip steps while in installing, buy you mentioned that I don't need to "downgrade" but it sill need the cios_fix. The cios_fix step is part of your "downgrade" steps before going to thestage 1, 2 and 3. What will be the options or essential steps I need to install in "downgrade" step when I am in 3.3U (but now donwgraded to 3.2U)

I may need to clean uninstall then re-install it. What do you suggest? Do you have a well-done tutorial for this part? It seems people here are eager to know about too.

Thank you.

You dont need to uninstall anything to start over - start from step 1 of the downgrade , but skip step 12 .. that should fix it for you.

Please. repeating from step 1 can not reslve this error - when I install cio_fix.

We need to have a "offical way" to remove the error - or better way uninstall codes from the Wii so we can try start again.
djaz, you have a better guide to install the wii loader, can you have a best and complete guide for us remove everything so we start over?

Thanks!!

Why does everyone seem to think that you have to remove things - you DONT HAVE TO EVER REMOVE ANYTHING .
Any files you re-install will overwrite files that already exist UNLESS they are in use by the system which is why sometimes you have to remove ios249 with any title deleter
MORE PEOPLE HAVE BRICKED THEIR WII REMOVING FILES THAN INSTALLING FILES - its very very very very easy to brick a wii removing files unless you know exactly what they do.

The only reason a step in my guide will not work is because you have skipped a step before it , or one of the steps before it has failed when installing - i can guarantee you that you have skipped one step in the downgrade guide assuming it has been done already which is why this isnt working for you

PRINT IT OUT and tick off each step with 2 ticks ....

1. NO ERRORS
2. COMPLETED

Finally, it works!!

The lesson I have is that I have to delete ios249 with anytitiel deleter, all error (-1035 and -1017 error) are gone!

Two questions I would like to ensure:
(1) Can I use the game saved of Zelta for my backup game or I should use the new one (it seems that game saved for HB is not the best)
(2) Can I expect to see my backup game in the disk channel or only can use in backup launcher channel when I insert my backup game? (it seems I only can play in the backup channel). Are there anyway I can not seethe difference when I use the backup game?

Good - glad you got it working finally !!

1. Once homebrew channel is installed you no longer need the zelda hack so you can delete that hack if you want.
2. If you load the game using the launcher , press 1 then press B you can see the game in disc channel. You need to do this every time with the gamma loader.
(There is another way if you install Softmii , but after the trouble you had with the gamma loader (which is simple to install) , i wouldnt recommend it for you - link is also in my sig if you want it , and clarky can help with any install issues if you do try it)

I had my Wii softmodded and tried to use the guide to downgrade my Wii to 3.2 so that I could get starfall on my Wii. I got to "12. Load C. cIOS Downgrader in Homebrew channel" but before I had to pick a region I got the error code (ret= - 116). I searched and it seems you need an internet connection to complete the step. Can't it be done without an internet connection?

for that step im afraid you need an internet connection as it gets the files from nintendo's servers

Okay, thanks for replying!

Are there any way to increase the wifi speed when using DVDdumper to run hte backup? Is any configuraiton in the wii for the speed? I am susing the "N" but I still get about 200K. Also, when disconnect (whatever reason), the DVD dumper goes back to the beginning to dump.

 

[ether2802]

the speed has to do with your hardware, and try using flashget for dumping, and yes you can't pause the process or it will start all over again...!!

Your router may be wireless N but your Wii isnt - its limited to G speeds

Is there anyone comapring the performance (spped) in DVD dumper when using html (Firefox) or ftp to the wii? Ideal dumping is constant speed (Max) and can be resumed in the points when wifi reconnect. Thanks.

 

[ether2802]

the ideal speed is between 560KB/s and 400KB/s, there is no way to resume to process at all...!!!

I thought that you needed the Wi-Fi usb connector to get the Wii online

Didn't know that I could connect it to my wireless network. The downgrade worked perfectly. Thanks for a great guide!

yeah at first when I bought the Wii me too, and I was like ".....f**k this ninty guys always searching the way to get your money, yes the Wii is not expensive but you have to buy them all the accesories...."

 

[Joshua2]

I have a question.
After i have WiiGators Gamma 0.3 loader with a fix for the 002 error been installed.
Eveything works fine.
But...
When i use my original Mario Kart PAL on PAl system in the original Disc channel, Mario Kart asked for an Update.
I have no connection with Internet en i wunder if this update do something to my Wii or the Soft Wiimod.


Greetings Joshua

 

[ether2802]

no it wont erase or delete any homwbrew, in fact I think it has 3.1 update (but I really don't remember) maybe you lack of an IOS or a new IOS version more up-to-date, if you are in 3.2 you can install starfall, or preloader and enable the SKIP UPDATE hack
