Hacking WII downgrader

[linkinworm]

Installed CIOS37 successfully.

I tried downgrading to 3.2E in the available firmware downgrades using the downgrader and I get this error.

[+] installing system menu, please wait...
>> Downloading Ticket... ERROR! (ret = -1)

did the wii connection test and it was successful

is there a step I missed? do i need a version of ios30 in the root like i did ios37?

no you dont need anything on the root of your card, i run this from my laptop over network. a lot of people seem to have this error, i wonder, could it be your encryption type? try disable your key on your router and try again. see if that works

I am using the wii USB ethernet adaptor so my connection is wired. I am able to go online and stuff but it seems to have a problem when it tries to download.

oo, i dont think it was coded for the usb adaptor, i didnt have one in beta testing, and waninkoko didnt say anything to me about it, so chances are it doesnt support it. he might update it soon, but i think hes on a break at the moment so dont expect anything soon. sorry, you could always go to a friends house.

It's no biggie. If it gets support eventually then its all good.

I guess alex86 would not be happy about it though seeing as he probably has the same issue.

Maybe they can add support to downgrade from dvd with say a mario kart original or something rather than from the net. or is that going to be too troublesome?

it could be done, but i dont think that wii updates(from disks) contain all the information needed to say downgrade, i think they contain a patch over the current IOS.
he wanted to keep it simple, as getting all these wads would be troublesum for the user in his eyes i guess. i havent spoken to him for a few days so i cant ask him to update, but i dont really like to bug him with trivial things as he is busy.

 

[Alex86]

ye, that's awful.

this works perfectly for me!

i hope they can find a way to install US or PAL firmware on my Jap wii !!!!!

I got the same issue, except I am downgrading within the same region.. x.xE to x.xE.

In fact, I get a -1 error on what I am guessing is the last file of the download (doesn't matter which number it has) on ALL firmwares, no matter what. I only succeeded in downgrading to 2.2E once, and still have no clue why it worked that one time.

 

[Arakon]

Turns out that if I use another SSID with WEP instead of WPA, the downgrading works just fine. Might be losing connection to the router with WPA for some reason, so if you get a -1 error, try setting it to WEP.

I'm trying to code my own downgrader (pretty much only for fun), I know how to download & install stuff from nintendo servers, thanks to patchMii sourcecode (greetz), but what files are exactly required to be downloaded ?

- system menu files
- what else ???

 

[nukester]

maybe someone could code something to download all vc/wiiware games for free from nintendo's servers

 

[Arakon]

uhm, no. nintendo would rape the scene for that, have any homebrew-related website taken down, etc.
that's even worse than "normal" piracy.

um explain how its worse

 

[Arakon]

you are actually "walking" into the store and stealing the game that way. not only are you pirating, you are stealing nintendo's bandwidth and money for the servers.

Clearly -- the more efficient pirate.


It's environmentally friendly. Less switches hit, Less hydro usage though. JK

like i said b4 on this site im not a pirate and actualy if u think its worse then there issomething wrong with you because the cost of a vc isnt even a quater of how much a retail game in a shop is there by loosing more because of retail cd games not virtual games

 

[Arakon]

Uhm.. VC/Wiiware games still have teams coding them, teams translating them, teams testing them and proofreading them. Each for several weeks. You think that costs nothing?
And like I said, what makes it worse is stealing them off nintendo's servers, abusing their bandwidth and server capacity meant for the paying customers.
