Nice to see another Swiss on the forum

on topic: I don't understand the part where it's written "The partition table 0 MUST contain at least one partition but can have a maximum of 3." Could someone please explain to me. I'm not usually a person that doesn't understand instructions but this is confusing for me

There are 4 partition tables on a Wii disc - numbered 0,1,2,3

Partition table 0 is the one the Wii usually sees in the disc channel. You need to put one data partition into the area of partition table 0.

The Wii has a limitation though in that it can only process upto 3 partitions that are in the partition table 0 area. Any more than 3 and the disc will error.

In other words

When you start creating the ISO, put the first partition into partition table 0 and all the others into 1,2 or 3.

It's great that you continued developing it

I have a question abour WiiScrubber, but not related to creating Multiboot-Discs:
Some time ago I did a undub of the game "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World". I used your PartitionBuilder to build the partition as I had over 10000 files to replace. Now the problem: It crashed when entering some village. I tested A LOT and reburned A LOT of times, before I got the problem. If I replaced the file "title.tpl" with PartitionBuilder or WiiScrubber, the game crashed, but when I tried to replace it with Trucha Signer, it worked fine.
Do you know what the problem could be? It also crashes in some other place and I of course can't replace every of the 10000 files with Trucha Signer.

What I would do there is extract the files from partition on the crashing disc and then do a file compare with what you tried putting on. The problematic files should then show up and give me a clue as to what the problem may be.

Maybe it's the alignment of files on the dvd? We talked about that, did you investigate something or change something about that?

I will do so when I have time.

Well, also 2 other issues I noticed

-all versions seem to have problems with SSBB PAL. For example menu>controller is just some file without extension, but in Trucha Signer it's a normal directory
- 1.4 doesn't work without kkey.bin or if it's supposed to be like this: Shows "Unable to open key.bin" if kkey.bin is missing.

Another couple of "features" - though I am suprised at the SSBB one (will have to look at my version of it) - what does Trucha show in the directory?

The issue you have though sounds very much like the one that the Ghost people had with the Guitar Hero customisation - and could very well be down to file alignment (almost certainly).

For anyone who wants to test a slightly tweaked multiboot version then:
(deleted url as it didn't work)

This should work on those SoftMii instalations if all goes well. There's an extra configuration option to say whether you have a hard or softmodded wii.

Addendum:
For those people wondering what it means when Wiiscrubber says "Unable to find space to remove or main.dol incorrect" that means that there doesn't seem to be any space in the middle of the ISO to remove.

Here a compare:


I don't really get what program shows it wrong though, because the files Trucha says are in that controller and soft_list folder are already on the disc in other directories.

@DarkLG - what sort of mod have you got hard or soft? And what IOS are you tryiing to run? Does the software run all the way upto the selection screen? (in other words do you get the list of titles?)

Then i would suggest to use the latest released version of the loader and/or set it to IOS249. It's working a little different for softmods and hardmods, because it seems that WiiGator&Waninkoko didn't implement all dvd functions like the nintendo ones. So the old loader, expects you have a cIOS if you set it to IOS249, and it expects that you have a modchip and not a cIOS if you set it another IOS.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
