Hacking Wii Duplicated Channel Remover (PAL version)

[waninkoko]

Not needed to update the Wii.

Offtopic: I'm searching for somebody to test a little patch to run SSBB without updates. If you don't have your Wii updated with the SSBB updates, contact me

bow down to you waninkoko thanks my dup channels have now gone thxs to you.

 

[DaWiis]

Tnx

I used the twilight hack method. Never tested it before but it was Easy peasy.

Some people asked if this would affect future updates... And waninkoko said no.. But that isnt enough for some people.. So here is my explanation

The reason why this will not affect future Channel updates (Weather & News) is because the remover doesnt change anything to the channels of your region...
Instead it increases version of other regions weather and news channel to a very high version as said.. Tough they arent visible.. They are still on your wii

PAL Channel remover (For PAL Wii's)

PAL CHANNELS -> Nothing is edited here
NTSC U -> Channel version is increased to 8.9999999 (Just very high... Number isnt correct

) and the icon in the Wii channel menu is removed...
NTSC J -> Same thins as NTSC U

Grats

That's correct (the exact version is 65280).

I have in mind a future version that removes completely all the data. But for now we can use this.

The only problem with this method is what will happen when the system menu starts to use the IOS37.

i was wondering the same things
since it didn't give me any extra free blocks

so actually the channel are not removed?
they're just invisible

 

[AshuraZro]

Slight slip up on the name when it doesn't actually remove the channels.

I am still grateful that you are toying around with these things and releasing what you've done for everyone but I don't exactly enjoy the misleading info that still remains in the first post. Changing a version number is not removing, it's hiding.

I think Wii firmware updates and channels that aren't visible in the Settings -> Data Management -> Channels screen aren't saved to the part that is counted in the blocks. After all, you only have ~2100 free blocks on a completely new Wii, which is only about 260MB.

Would it be possible to reinstall your own region new and forecast channels ?

Thank you for the explanation on how this tool is working.
I like to understand what I'm using

I don't have Brawl, I hope you will find someone for your next tool.

Good luck

 

[MCorbet]

Thanks for this great tool. Going to use it tonight.

 

[Glitzerstim]

@waninkoko ... I think you should not offer this tool anymore, because it´s fact the wii can brick by updating to IOS37! Or how do you see this?

 

[Kadyot]

[cycle78]

Cheers for clearing that up, I don't particularly fancy using this now, just because if Trucha Signer is ever blocked, there is no way to start editing again :S (in case of any problems)

I'm working on it.

 

[Nuja]

if i understand well, we can update wii's firmware without being worried abotu bricking the wii, right ?

 

[MCorbet]

I've used the iso, And it work perfectly. Now hoping I wont brick my wii in the future.
