BlueArmyMan posted:Re-installed the HBC.wad and the rollback worked, HBC is now back to 1.0.1....but the Zelda thing is still borked. Got into the game the first time, but when I loaded a state, then tried to open the home menu, it turned red and froze. Something's borked somewhere and I wish I knew where BlueArmyMan, delete the preferences for FCEU, and don't switch back the video settings to "Original" Something about low res mode and the menu (pretty sure the snapshot it takes when it goes to SD for the menu) is loving it up in this version.

Crackbone posted:Kinda. Each IOS is the full Wii OS needed to run an executable. Nintendo frequently releases new ones, thats why there are so many IOS versions on your Wii. The old ones are kept to keep compatibility with old games that require older IOS files. cIOS files are modified IOS files which extend the capabilities of the modified IOS, and are placed in the 200 range as Nintendo will likely never get there with their own IOS version numbers.

CraigK posted:Another question: how far has hacking the speaker on the Wiimote gotten? I know it would massacre the battery life, but I wonder if it's possible to play MP3s on the Wiimote. It's possible but quite useless. That speaker sounds like poo poo and is meant for very low quality audio. I wouldn't want to listen to music over it.

Yeah, by default I tend to turn off the speaker - it usually forces the speaker-audio to play through the game itself, which sounds WAY better.

Zelda definitely plays stuff through the main speakers if the remote is muted (I'd have gone insane if I had to listen to that tinny little rattle every time I used the boomerang). Not sure about No More Heroes though - I imagine it does. I recall that the phone calls were recorded in full in the Let's Play of that a while back, and those played normally through the remote.

Mr_Person posted:The modified IOS60 floating around is for running trucha signed channels from the 4.0 system menu, this is Waninkoko's CIOS for enabling the use of SD/USB loaders. Ok, and trucha signed channels are only necessary if you want to install your own channels? I don't think I really need any custom channels save for the Homebrew Channel of course. If this is my situation I can just use Waninkoko's instead from now on? I'd also like to get BootMii but am a bit confused. It is the very first thing that will start on your Wii, right? If that's the case, what happens to my preloader thing? (The thing that loads, black and white text with a few options and some hack.ini, before booting the Wii).

I decided to get back into Wii homebrew after being absent for awhile. I updated the HBC to 1.0.3 and the HBB to 0.3.1. However, now the browser tells me "creating folders failed" every time I download something greater than 1MB. I've tried two different microSD cards and two different microSD readers as well as deleting the browser and putting a fresh copy in apps. Anyone else run into something like this? I'm running 3.2, maybe that has something to do with it? edit: Forgot to mention that neither of the SD cards were write-locked and neither card is SDHC. edit part2: New HBB was released that fixed it. eelmonger fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jun 2, 2009 |

Installing it to boot2 lets you have complete backups of the NAND and therefore (theoretically) you can never permanently brick your wii because you could just load that backup and you're all set to go again.

It seems that my external hard drive doesn't work with the USB loaders (I've tried it with USB Loader 1.5 and Coverflow RC5 on cIOS 13, which was just released today). It can't be detected by them, though WBFS Manager can see it and read from/write to it just fine. It just has the one partition on it, so I'm not seeing much else I can do. Assuming nobody else has any ideas, what would be a decent hard drive to get for it? I don't have very many games, so I wouldn't need a huge one, just one that works with at least one of the USB loaders.

A lot of the time it has to do with the USB controller and not the hard drive itself. I bought a $5 USB SATA 2.5" enclosure and it works with every hard drive I put in it. Consider buying one of those, cracking open your hard drive's external case, and putting the drive in that.

This is a seriously good thing, too. Once I had Bootmii installed, I backed up my NAND straight away. Later on, after experimenting with some brand new CIOS's, it seemed that something had gone wrong, and GeckoOS wasn't working correctly anymore, and Anyregion was reporting errors and region mismatches. One restore later, and it's all back to normal.

little question for you guys. At the moment I'm using the pre-loader 0.29 thing, and I was wondering if I could install bootmii with no problem. As I understand pre-loader and bootmii are located in the same place?

When I opened up the Homebrew Channel today to run something it asked me if I wanted to update to version 1.0.3, so I did and it also included the option to install bootmii v2, so I just went ahead and did that. It was real easy. Le0, bootmii, supposing it installs in boot2, actually installs in a spot before the preloader, it shouldn't effect it at all, as I understand it (I don't use the preloader myself).

Just installed bootmii (through boot2, not IOS). While the boot menu is pretty slick, I don't really need to access it unless I want to backup/restore the NAND. Is removing the SD card the only way to disable it at startup?

Hamelin posted:You can remove the bootmii folder from the SD card, bootmii won't run unless it is there (I think it looks for a specific file in there, I'm not sure what one), just save it somewhere on your computer so if you need to run bootmii later you can put it back on there. Ah, that's a quick and dirty way to get it done. I know it's still in beta, but I hope they'll at some point add a menu option to do this, similar to pre-loader. Thanks!

Well, the reason they did it that way is so if you ever send the Wii in to Nintendo they won't even know that bootmii is installed. Which seems odd because Nintendo could just put in their own SD card with those files in it. I would be surprised if they were not aware of all the latest homebrew. Unless it generates some sort of unique key or something.

Is there any reason the IOS Downgrader wouldn't work? I had v1.0 (I think) on my SD card, and it got to the point where it says "Press A to continue, press B to restart." I hit A, and it said "Press any button to restart." Not sure what's going on there. I found what I thought was IOS Downgrader 1.1, but when I ran it, it seemed to be a different program entirely, asking me what version of firmware I wanted to install. If I'm not using the right name, I'm talking about the patcher that enables the trucha-signing(?) bugs, which I think will solve my problems installing wads (ret -1022 error). I've used the patcher before with no problems, and I've been able to install custom channels before. My Wii is presently on 3.2, but I've got the latest Waninkoko firmware editor that lets you switch from 2.0 - 4.0. The IOS Downgrader won't work on either 3.2 or 4.0, unfortunately.

There's a better way to do it. If you're using bootmii beta 2, you can look in the sd://bootmii folder for a settings text file. In it you can make bootmii go directly to system menu/hbc or set a time delay before it does automatic boot. Sorry if this sounds a bit vague as I can't check right now, but if you look in the bootmii folder it should be pretty self explanatory what you need to change.

OK so the preloader I have (blandly titled PreLoader) is a pre loader just like BootMii? Meaning they are both the same thing, just made by different people? Would it be ridiculous to have both BootMii and Pre Loader installed at the same time?
