Hacking working Mortal Combat, Call of Duty 3 and others

[greevedogg]

thanks for the input...the disc that i burned from was really scratched so that could very well be the reason i'm having technical difficulties....will have to locate another SSX Blur! GameStop here I come!

Indiana Jones works if you take fateatlantis.dol extract it and rename it to main.dol and then replace the original main.dol with the fateatlantis.dol(renamed to main.dol)

It only plays the fate of atlantis game though.

indiana jones has not an ios reload problem!
if you use the the fate of atlantis dol, consinder it more like an hack to load directly the fate of atlantis game.

I'm using cios rev.13a in conjunction with the latest GX (tried also coverflowder and neogamma) - Indy main game works fine, but starting fate of atlantis leads me back to the wii menu.
I'm thinking it is an iso reload issue...

 

[mateyo]

you are right, to start the extra game fate of atlantis it is an ios reload problem. personal i would rather use scummvm for that one.

I installed HotD 2 & 3 using these methods & can confirm they both work 100%. I have a question though... how do I go about stripping the separate .isos of un-needed files? Basically I want to remove the HotD 2 files from the HotD 3 .iso & vice versa.

NeoGamma R4 RC3 allows to load an alternate .dol from sd card:

With this you can switch between the .dol on sd card and the main.dol on disc/inside the .iso on usb via the .dol loading menu option.

You need to set the hooktype to GC and when you enable it and run the game, it tells you how to name the .dol.

I just hope that this is all eventually unnecessary because someone developing a cIOS or a USB Loader will work out the IOS refresh problem. Eventually this problem makes it very easy for Nintendo or other publishers to keep games from loading from USB. Simply make the main.dol file a tiny little thing that reloads the IOS and points to the real .dol of the game. Can't move the .dol around due to size restrictions, so you can't do this trick every time...

Sorry, just thinking out loud.

Anyone make any progress on MoH:H2? It seems like you should replace the main.dol with the "game.dol" but there isn't enough space to make the replacement and Scrubber 1.31 won't do it...

I did that after resizing the partition and it didn't work

 

[dexter222]

House of the dead 2 will play if you replace main.dol with hot2.dol - it loads straight into House of the dead 2. You can no longer get into house of the dead 3 so you will need to have both copies on the WBFS partition if you wish to play both games.

Since you can't have 2 games with the same DiscID you need to change it on your modified House of the Dead ISO. You can do that with a hex editor or with the Wii ISO Title Renamer:

I forgot to mention that you should only change the last 2 digits of the DiscID (the build number).

Thanks for posting this!

I made some custom covers for house of the dead 2 and house of the dead 3. Here they are

If anyone knows which files to strip from the game to have just one iso for HOTD2 and one iso for HOTD3, please let me know, that would indeed be awesome!

Enjoy the covers, they should work for both coverfloader and wiiflow

Hi!
Tried this with BOOGIE - and it works!
Replace main.dol with the (so called and renamed) ssx.dol from partition 1.
Nice! :-)

 

[WiiPower]

Ok this is the actual list as i know:
Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune (maybe doesn't need the patching, 1 confirmation)
Boogie* (not Boogie Superstar which doesn't need this)
Call of Duty 3
FarCry
Fate of Atlantis*(inside Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings)
FIFA 08
House of the Dead 2*
Madden '07
Madden '08
Medal of Honor Heroes 2*
Metal Slug Anthology
Metroid Prime 1*
Metroid Prime 2*
Mortal Kombat Armageddon*
NBA Live '08
Pangya Golf With Style
Red Steel
Sam & Max Season One
Splinter Cell Double Agent
SSX Blur*
Super Swing Golf

The games with * work with this trick. Please tell me if you got another working with it.

Wait, how did you get MoH:H2 working with this?

 

[Vergil902]

awesome squablo! those are amazing!

 

[WiiPower]

Not me, i only found a post somewhere here stating it works. Is there another .dol on the disc, did you try with that?

 

[gameshark]

works with neogamma mohh2

 

[Hooya]

What .dol files are you switching around? I tried switching dols in that game but they wouldn't fit, so you can't replace the main.dol with the alternative dol...

Then it only works in NeoGamma with loading the alternative .dol from sd card. I thought WiiScubber could move the other stuff if the .dol was bigger than the main.dol.
