I also noticed at a certain point it just wouldn't play or if I went back up the menus, wouldn't even connect to the shares unless I restarted the app. I posted it as a new issue on their site, hopefully someone else knows a fix. Yeah that happened to me to, not being able to connect again until a restart had been done. I tried putting the "keepalive = 0" option in MPlayer CE's smb.conf as mentioned by the guy who replied to your bug, but it still quits back to the file list. New version didn't work at all (also mentioned on the bug page).

It's good to know that this one is actively being worked on unlike so many other homebrew programs that stopped updating entirely. Edit, to contribute, Marcan wrote an extensive article about why the Wii will never really improve anytime soon, if at all. It's somewhat disheartening, but Nintendo will forge ahead nonetheless. http://hackmii.com/2009/02/why-the-wii-will-never-get-any-better/ FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Mar 2, 2009 |

If you're on Windows I don't know what the fix would be.Of course now there's an update out, 0.3a, which is supposed to address the keepalive issue. japtor fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Mar 2, 2009 |

Yeah, that was me, and I was being an idiot - it's server-side alright. I also screwed up when testing 0.3a the first time, now I'm streaming Batman & Robin for a while to see if the problem's fixed before making GBS threads up the bug report any more (also I'm on Arch Linux).

Is there a way to SAFELY start completely over? I installed Preloader (since it was recommended as THE region-free program) and now my wii acts up. I know it replaced the wii's system menu and I'd like this reverted back to normal. It takes a longer time to boot up. Everything works fine, but I'd like to calm my nerves by starting over. Any ideas?

Firmware version 3.5 is being rolled out (in Korea at least, so who knows what that means for the rest of the world). Be prepared, I guess.

Not homebrew-related, but many people believe leaving WiiConnect24 on can cause heat damage to your GPU which leads to weird graphical glitches or something. Check the Wii megathread OP for details.

There's a goon selling a Wii that has homebrew stuff installed on it. I'm interested in buying it, but only if I can basically totally wipe it back to stock firmware, in such a way that I won't get warranty canceled in the future, will be able to use Nintendo's system updates, etc. Is there a way to do this? I tried to look at Wiibrew.org but it seems to be down for me.

Depends on what they've done. Often it's as simple as just deleting the homebrew channel unless they're ballsy enough to make changes to the system menu software. The basic homebrew installation doesn't touch the firmware at all.

Could the factory reset feature be able to clean custom IOS stuff? I've got no idea. Anyway you should ask if he's played "backups", because people who do have made changes to the system software.

Try running it through GeckoOS and see if it still works. I imagine yes, if you update it will update you to System Menu 3.4 and that one sucks.

I'm trying to downgrade my Wii from System Menu 3.4 to System Menu 3.2, I've taken the first several steps to where I'm now using AnyRegion Changer 1.1b to install System Menu 3.2, and I've got issues. I choose to install 3.2U, and it downloads and installs, but at the end, I get this: quote:Cleaning up temporary IOS version 255 This follows with "Press any key to continue", but when I press any key, I get quote:Error! ES_OpenTitleContent (ret = -1026) When it goes back to the main screen, I now get a warning about an Area/SysMenu mismatch, and it shows my System Menu installed region to be "." I haven't left AnyRegion changer since this happened, since I'm freaked out about this causing major problems. Anyone with a clue what's happened here, and what I might be able to do to fix it? EDIT: Ah, nevermind. Turns out that, despite the error, the downgrade actually succeeded, and 3.2 is now installed. thefncrow fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Mar 16, 2009 |

My Wii was on the custom 3.3 that was released, and after I had to redownload something home the shop channel that I didn't have a backup of I was forced to upgrade to 3.4. I did the upgrade fully planning to have to downgrade afterwards, but now that I have 3.4 I have found that all the homebrew stuff still works. I'm still able to install wads, I've update my IOS, everything. Can anybody think a reason why things are still working? I thought 3.4 broke everything?

It didn't even tell me there was an update. I think I'm running 3.3, I forget. I don't mean to sound as paranoid as I do, I really REALLY doubt Nintendo is just gonna shove out an update that breaks the poo poo out of Homebrew for a few days. Just considering the possibility. Hell, I actually prefer SNES games on an emulator on the Wii now, I think. Had a buddy over, we got out Mystical Ninja and put it in my SNES, before I realized we wouldn't have to screw with cords if we emulated it and sat across the room with classics (including an AWESOME Club Nintendo Super Famicom classic I paid too much for on eBay).

I had downgraded things to install the GCN backup launcher, and everything worked fine. Except that when I launched Guitar Hero World Tour with GeckoOS, I couldn't use the SD card to retrieve downloaded songs or write them there after downloading. Update to 3.4 and nothing is broken in my case, not even the DVD playback, but then again, that one always kind of sucked so if it was broken, not much would be lost. Still, not going to update to 3.5 for MadWorld or anything unless the same issue I had with GeckoOS and SD cards happens again.

DVD playback is only as good as the DVD playing program you're using. Try Mplayer CE, it's a lot better than the original Team Twiizers version. Also, 3.5 isn't out yet unless you live in Korea.

And there *was* one notable change after applying 3.4 again, on the multigame GCN discs, it has some issues loading anything after the second iso. Minor annoyance, but eh.

There really is no true way to downgrade. The Wii doesn't work like that. All the IOS's you've ever installed on your Wii are still there and can still cause some wonkyness when you gently caress around with them. It's truly the best method to never update unless you absolutely have to.

If I ever wanted to use the DLC for GH:WT I had to upgrade to 3.4. Now that I don't have to boot that one up from GeckoOS, I don't have that issue. I wonder if that will happen again with any other game that stores DLC on an SD card, if booted from Gecko OS, the SD card will have issues and whatnot.

Alright, since I posted my question in a dead thread (because I'm a loving idiot) what should I do about Gecko OS not running? I tried the latest version, in .dol format, but when I try it from the HBC I get a message saying "This is not a Wii application." Solutions?

Errrgh, trying to set up Mplayer CE to connect to a SMB share on my network, and when I try to access it the thing just locks up - goes totally unresponsive, to the point I have to get up and power cycle the Wii.  My config: #Samba share1 (smb1:/) ip1=192.168.1.110 share1=video user1=[my username] pass1=[my pass] That SMB share is sitting on an XP machine, and can be reached by both the Windows and Linux boxes in my house as \\192.168.1.110\video. The Wii is static IP'd and all is set up properly there, and it can get out to the internet... Using system software 3.3U, Mplayer CE 0.3a. The only thing I can think of is that it's a hardware issue in the media server - the hard drive holding all my video has a weird delay - usually of 3-5 seconds followed by a healthy click - if it goes unaccessed for periods of time. I thought it was dying, but it's done this for well over a year. Weird hard drive.  But I wonder if it's hitting the server, the drive's snoozing, and Mplayer is freaking out? The Windows and Linux boxes just wait, then show the folder contents.I wish there was a telnet/ping tool for the Wii, maybe inside one of the Linux distros for it? e. Well holy crap, now it works. I almost guarantee it was the hdd thing, because I copied some files off that drive to the SD to test SD playback [which is perfect]. The share loaded instantly this time.

As long as they're formatted to FAT 16 (FAT) or FAT 32, most SD cards should work for you. All SD cards smaller than 256mb will not work for you because they are too small to be formatted properly.

MplayerCE will occasionally just take its sweet time in connecting to my shares. Sometimes it's nearly instant, others it takes a good 3 or 4 minutes. I believe I have the same version as you though, and there have been a couple of updates since then.

.3a is the latest. What you should do is uncomment the debug line, I think it's in the mplayer.conf file. On startup it'll show the connection process, whether it's waiting/connected/failed.

I'll give that a shot too. I was really, really surprised to see I'm still on 3.3u, even though I've used DLC with Rock Band 2 [well, the free stuff, haven't purchased anything yet]. I figured that would've forced 3.4 [and I thought I remember it doing so]. I've received the notification about updating, but I haven't installed it yet.
