Hacking Wii Mod

[jskyboo]

It's been a long time since I last posted on here. But recently I checked in just to see what had changed in the homebrew scene, not much to my surprise. In my long time away one new System Menu came out that does nothing new and a whole bunch of IOSs were updated/released. Dop Mii has dropped many features I like to have in a wii tool and MMM has made some progress but not much and is closed source. So since the tools haven't been updated much I decided to update my release some more as this is the tool I use on my own wii. And after getting caught up to date and fixing a whole bunch of errors I decided it was time to release under a new name, also to help with the confusion. So here is the release of Wii Mod v3.2, a mod of the old dop ios.

Some of the highlights are:
Pretty comparable to Dop Mii v15, MMM v13.4, Wad Manager v1.7, Anytitle Deleter DB, bluedump and NUSD.
Compatible with cboot2 and sneek / uneek
Can find missing IOSs that are needed for installed WiiWare.
Can copy an IOS to a new location
Can change an installed IOS's version
Can patch an installed IOS
Can patch System Menu's required IOS and version
Shows clean IOSs at a glance.
Interface helps you find and fix problems.
Added Any Region Changer
Added Any Title Manager( extractor and deleter )
Added App launcher
Warns you if you try to Install a system menu without the required IOS
Warns you not to delete the system menu IOS
Warns you not to delete the IOS used by the Homebrew Channel
Hold D-PAD for continuous scrolling
Supports AHBPROT in all areas

Config File is sd:/apps/wiimod/wiimod.txt
Database = sd:/apps/wiimod/database.txt
Output saved to sd:/wad/wiimod/wiimod.csv
Wad Dump dir = sd:/wad/wiimod/

Download v3.2:http://www.mediafire.com/?dbjdoelj94ai1ef
My previous releases can be found at old topic

Thanks to Lenneth there is now a forwarder for Wii Mod.
Download Forwarder:http://www.mediafire...zh7yflj2d01cj81
The forwarder path is: SD:/apps/wiimod/boot.dol then USB:/apps/wiimod/boot.dol

This is based on dop-ios, dop mii, indirectly by MMM, wad manager, Any Region Changer, TBR, NUSD, AnyTitle Deleter and its mods, bluedump and many other wii tools. So thanks goes out to Marcmax, Waninkoko, Wiipower, SifJar, Nicksasa, PheonixTank, giantpune, Lunatik, Team Twiizers, wiiNinja, Sorg, Red Squirrel, MrClick, mariomaniac33, Leathl, daveboal, Wiiwu, Joostin, Tona, DacoTaco, tueidj, TeenTin, airline38, Lenneth, Maisto, wes11ph, Arikado, and many others. This tool could not exist without the work of many from the homebrew scene. If I have forgotten anyone please let me know, it is not intentional.

BRICK ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN BRICK YOUR WII IF YOU USE THIS INCORRECTLY, it warns you if you try to do something you shouldn't but it can't stop you from bricking your wii. This should not be used carelessly.

[kylster]

Thanks for the update

i haven't check the forums all day and the 1st i do i see something useful to me

When i try to do a IOS Check i get a code dump... Also i see you have the option to update all IOS is that wise considering if if you have a cIOS, will it get stub'd?

 

[techboy]

Nice. I'll have to try it later when I hook my wii back up (it's in the box from a trip right now...)

Just a few things to comment on:

Dop Mii has dropped many features I like to have in a wii tool
Erm...DOP-Mii hasn't dropped any features. If you think it did, you probably saw the severely crippled "Wiibrew Edition", which lacks all the patching stuff. The full version with all the patching features is still supported and updated on Google Code.

QUOTE(jskyboo @ Dec 31 2010, 06:24 PM) express tbr install keeps IOS15 v257 to support Hackmii
Hold D-PAD for continuous scrolling

Holding D-pad for scrolling is a nice addition. One of the few things that bugged me in a lot of homebrew was the inability to hold down the arrows to scroll long lists.

As for the IOS15 and TBR stuff, TBR is obsolete. It's been replaced by the IOS236 installer.

 

[jskyboo]

You might have a messed up IOS it is trying to load, what system menu are you on, what IOS was running, and was it early or late in the checking did it crash(it adds '.'s as it goes and takes up a screen)?

It installs the lastest that is not stub, and it works with a static db so it wont grab new IOSs that it doesn't know are a stub or not.

I wasn't aware the "Wiibrew Edition" wasn't the only edition, none the less I have fixed many bugs that still persist in their latest branches.

As for TBR being obsolete, no its not, it just is the old way of doing it. Installing 236 can be done just the same in the IOS menu, but if you don't already have a IOS to work with cause you have really borked your system the TBR is still good.

 

[kylster]

i did not reload the IOS so it was using the default IOS; also it was fairly early, right after IOS4 when it crashed. If it uses the hbc ios then IOS 58. I didnt look though.

My Wii Specs are as follows:
System Menu 4.3u
IOS36 patched with all hacks

IOS80 patched to allow WW VC by SD
IOS236 patch of 36 installed here
IOS202v2 Only version that my ext.hdd wont sleep on not sure if issue but hey it works...
IOS222/223/224rev5.1
IOS249rev17 for Triiforce ISO forwarder compatibility
IOS250rev20b [57] for COD:BO support

Those are the only patched IOS i have.

Would a cMIOS effect it? cause i just recently installed cMIOSv10.

 

[jskyboo]

Well in the upper right it tells you what IOS is currently loaded. It likely was a low version one or a cios. cMIOS should have no effect. You can figure it out by choosing to load the IOS, start at the lowest avail and work up, if it crashes that is the problem one. After that I would need to know the IOS number and rev # to know more. I have noticed more problems loading IOSs since changing to 4.3 in particular IOS 9 doesn't work but the checking should skip it if you are on 4.3. How did you update to 4.3?

 

[kylster]

i updated to 4.3 back when mod-mii had the 4.3u update available. i never use safe updaters! only Wad or Dop-Mii to install new System Menu but indeed i used a network install with Dop-Mii v14.2 Wiibrew Edition at the time of install.

Ok Current IOS: 58 v6176 (non-patched!)
AHBPROT Enabled

about to load the rest will edit post when done

Current IOS:4 v65280 (stub)
Can't get IOS version list..

Then it freeze reset wont work or anything

Current IOS:9 v1034 (not a stub)
Cant' get IOS version list..

If you try to goto opton "IOSs" it'll tell you this "The IOS you have Loaded can't get the IOS version list. Try to reload an IOS>22. Press any key to continue.."; then it just automatically loads ios30 v2816 when you hit L on D-Pad.

Current IOS:10 v768 (stub)
Can't get IOS version list..

Same as IOS:4 just freeze; need to hold power button to turn off wii.

Current IOS:22 v1294
can't get IOS version list..

Same issue as IOS:9 same dialog same IOS30 auto reload. Wii mote loses sync and reset button no longer works have to hold power button to turn off.

Any IOS < 22 will give me the same dialog if i try to got option "IOSs"; if i try to reload another IOS it auto loads IOS:30 and once again have to hold power button to turn off.


here is the whole report i get when scanning IOS's

Hope this further helps

also when selecting to reload any IOS they are all white with the exception of all my cIOS. i know i have various patched installed on IOS36&80 but it doesnt show it as having these.

 

[jskyboo]

Well loading up any stub like 4 v65280 or 10 v768 will cause a crash, as the stubs aren't meant to load but those two are both known to the program so it shouldn't be loading those two. IOS 9 like I said can cause problems but once again it shouldn't be loading it cause you are on 4.3. The IOS 22 you mentioned actually was missing from the IOS list, it will be in the next point release, but I checked it out and it doesn't seem to be causing problems for me so that probably isn't the problem IOS.

Loading any IOS < 22 should give you that message. It is not an error its just that those IOSs don't support that functionality so you can't use them in certain parts of the program that is why it warns you to use one > IOS 22.

As for reloading IOS the list being white, well yeah, that coloring is a quick peek at what permissions the IOSs have, but the way the program knows what permissions an IOS has is by checking them. Since that part of the program is crashing for you, yeah it wouldn't have any of that information yet.

Well having stubs isn't exactly good and you should probably remove them sometime, but it probably isn't causing your error, you have IOS 9 but that shouldn't be the problem as the check IOS code skips that in 4.3, the IOS 22 you mention shouldn't be causing an error, any others crash when you manually load them?

Hi !

Can you tell me wich DevKitPPC File and wich libogc I need please ?
Or can you upload your DevKitPPC and libogc folders on mediafire on something like that please ?

When i want to compile it i have this error :

linking ... wiimod.elf
c:/devkitpro/devkitppc/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-eabi/4.5.1/../../../../powerpc-eabi/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwiilight
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/c/wii/wiimod/wiimod.elf] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

I don't know what is bad (i'm noob in compilation), and I want to be able to compile your homebrew because I want to do a french traduction of it (with your accord).
Thanks to help me please.
In waiting for a answer i'm going to make a forwarder for this great homebrew

(Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Belgium)

 

[jskyboo]

I have it in the complete changelog that I compiled this with devkitPPC r22 and libogc 1.8.6 and it uses the wiilight lib. A forwarder would be real nice. I haven't yet looked into making them, but ideally it would be one that allows it to start in AHBPROT mode.

Thanks a lot jskyboo and burritoboy9984 =)
I can do my french traduction now and my forwarder too (booting with AHBPROT if I can, i'm going to use the wiimc forwarder source to help me to do it)

Have a nice 2k11 year

 

[jskyboo]

And now because so many have asked for it in the past I have added in Any Region Changer. I also have done some major code clean up and in testing uncovered some bugs so I give you v1.5.

Download:http://www.mediafire.com/?wdq6z21s7g9z90x

Changelog since 1.0 :

Added Any Region Changer
Added missing IOS 22 v1294
Added patching of Korean key, Add Ticket version check, and Setuid check.
Fixed bug in new channel install
Fixed System Menu bug 4.3E & 4.3U were swapped
Fixed bug in update all IOSs, would miss updating IOSs that don't have any revision installed yet.
Lots of code clean up.

 

[circuits]

seems like 1.5 broke the ios section ...

in 1.0 when you selected ios and then used the up/down/left/right pads to select a ios
the currently selected ios changed depending on which one was highlighted as well
as the information displayed .

in 1.5 it stays stuck on 58 .....

reverting back to 1.0

 

[jskyboo]

Oops that bug did slip by. Here is a fix v1.6

Download:http://www.mediafire.com/?1mtd2cp4scowwtd

Changelog since 1.5 :

Fixed bug in IOS menu not showing options of selected IOS

 

[Lenneth]

I maked an animated forwarder for Wii Mod (all version), he use the IOS58 with AHBPROT (I used the WiiMC forwarder source to compile the .dol file and the Static Base WAD STLB AHBPROT.wad of XFlak)

You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zh7yflj2d01cj81

Screenshot:

The forwarder path is: SD:/apps/wiimod/boot.dol

(Sorry for my bad english, i'm from belgium)

 

[XFlak]

u need to change one value in the tmd or something (I can't remember exactly where) in order to have the forwarder channel launch apps with ahbprot/direct-hardware-access.

Instead of recreating the wheel, just use an ahbprot enabled base wad from here and modify it with you new banner,icon,sound,dol,title,id, etc.

 

[Lenneth]

Thanks for your AHBPROT based .wad file, I modified the forwarder with CustomizeMii and now the AHBPROT works !
Great job man !

 

[jskyboo]

@Lenneth Great job on the forwarder. If you don't mind I'll link to it in the first post so others can find it easier.

For those of you out there that have tried Wii Mod, what do you think? Running into any errors? Things you wish were changed/improved/added?

 

[Lenneth]

Thanks

No problem you can link it on the 1st page, thanks

On my wii in 4.3e I don't have any problem with your apps, all work correctly.
I don't know what to add, he already have a lot of features except making coffee

A menu to launch BootMii and Homebrew Channel or an option to power off/reset the Wii ?
An update check feature is not a bad idea.
