How are people here ripping their 'Cube games? Waninkoko's DVD dumper refuses to recognise my external HD (I've made a FAT32 partition) and I can't get the wifi connection going either. Should I just wait for the inevitable GC update to the USB loader?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that to do anything with a Wii and a hard drive, the hard drive had to have a WBFS partition.

Well you can use a hard drive with a FAT32 or FAT partition with a Wii for stuff like media players and some emulators. You only need the WBFS partition for Wii Backups (hence the term Wii Backup File System).

You guys think FAT32 formatted drives will be compatible with the USBloader eventually?

.TakaM posted:You guys think FAT32 formatted drives will be compatible with the USBloader eventually? No, because FAT32 has a very hard limit of 4GB. As in, no file could be over 4GB. While many Wii games are less than that, most good ones are over 4GB (Brawl is around 8GB I think). I suppose the game dumper could make split files but that could get annoying.

WBFS Gui rev7 is giving me "Run-Time error '9': Subscript out of range" when I tried to load my WBFS partition, nothings changed so I'm pretty  .

That's what the PS2 loader uses, and it'd be nice to be able to fire up a VM of Linux and manage stuff directly.

To clarify, I only mentioned FAT32 because that's what the DVD Dumper is (apparently) compatible with. It seems to be okay with my SD card now though so I'm just dumping GC games to that one at a time, then putting them on the PC for packaging up and transferring to the HD. It's a slow and annoying chore but appears to be working. edit: Okay I now have some Wii ISOs but none of the WBFS GUIs I have will transfer them because they're not Wii games. The only Gamecube multi-ISO combiner I can find only has an option to save as a GC ISO as well. Does anyone who's got this working have any suggestions?

I have to send my Wii back in to Nintendo for repairs due to what's basically a video corruption issue. What do I want to be sure to uninstall from my softmodded Wii, besides the Homebrew channel and any VC/WiiWare games I don't actually own?

It seems like its pretty common for that feature to cause the machine to overheat and damage the GPU. I think its a waste of power so I always leave it off.

That kinda seems to be the issue I'm having here, really; my Wii was purchased in April 2007 and was, I think, manufactured before then. A couple shots of the issue, for reference:  Slight issues in Super Paper Mario - the issue occurs just under the ceiling texture in the upper left corner, and under the cursor in the menu (it really is more noticeable on the console itself, as I look at it now)  Somewhat more evident issues with No More Heroes - most, if not all, of those vertical lines around Gene's legs are NOT supposed to be there.  And the worst offender by a wide margin, Baroque. This one speaks for itself. WiiConnect24 has been off for a while now, but I did use the feature in the past.

That really reminds me of PC graphics card overheating... is the Wii getting warm(er than normal) to the touch? Bad video cables maybe?

It isn't terribly warm, much less hot, to the touch - even after hours of play. These pictures were taken using the standard composite cables that come with the system; the exact same issues happen when I use S-Video connections. It's also happened on a number of different displays. I tried to clean out all the fans and connections as best I could (compressed air and a cleaning cloth), which didn't seem to make any sort of difference.

I wanted to point out that if your an idiot like me and upgraded to 4.0 before it was safe I found this downgrade walk through that is much easier to follow than the other one. http://wiinewz.com/forums/wii-general-discussion/94992-upgraded-to-4-0-and-had-hbc-but-didnt-have-cios-installed.html I had upgraded to 4.0 and could no longer install any wads, I did these three steps and I can now use wads under 4.0 with no problem at all.

If memory serves, this seems to be a terminal problem that some Wiis have, it's red ring, if not more annoying than catastrophic, if you will. I believe it has, indeed, something to do with the graphics card and, unfortunately, can't be remedied without sending it back to the House of N and from all reports as it's out of the warranty period it's going to skin you $45.

I would clean off anything that could otherwise be illegitimate and send it in for repairs. Even if you can't use it for homebrew should Nintendo force an update you'll have a functional Wii, and you can save yourself the additional service fee for using unlicensed software on the thing. That is, do it before the GPU completely fails and you have no way to do so.

This is possibly a dumb question, but I'm a techno-tard and I haven't found a clear answer anywhere else, at least not in terms I understand. My friend and I want to add HBC to her Wii and break the gently caress out of Twilight Princess and have fun this summer. Would Twilight Hack work with my Gamecube copy of TP in her Wii, or do we need to go out and rent a Wii copy for it to work? And then for us to play it in all its delightfully unlocked glory, do we still have to have a Wii copy?

I think the Twilight Hack only works with Wii TP, but the various codes applied through Ocarina are definitely only for Wii: there's no good Gamecube-cheating device / application for the Wii AFAIK. I'd buy a copy of Wii TP, it's not that expensive and some of the Wii features are fun as hell.

Think he means playing Twilight Princess with hacks. But yeah, once HBC's on there you can frisbee your copy of TP out the window and any homebrew applications will work just as well.

I've been out of the loop with wii homebrew for a few months now so I found some package that was full of everything for updating and cIOSes and all that. There's a wanikiko program that's supposed to make me update to 4.0 safely, but it fails every time when it gets to the point of downloading the system menu. I did get the USB loader working and it's quite nice. I've yet to figure out how to get the images on it. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could tell me how to do so.

Do you have enough space on your SD card? Mine was failing at the same point in the download every time and it turns out, silly me, that was the point that the card would run out of space.

Just an update, I checked out the Wii64 sourcecode last night from their SVN and compiled the development version. It is running absolutely great. With The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time, I'm getting about 16 fps. Sure, its not some massive, but it is very playable. Sound doesnt work though, but I didnt mess with any settings so that could be an oversight. I'll have to play with it some more tonight.

When I tried to save the ISO it only gave me the option of saving as a Cube one, which the USB loader doesn't recognise. If anyone has more success let me know.
