You can do multi-game GCN discs with single layer DVDs. In my experience with GCN Loader, the third game tends to boot and run well only half of the time, but that my have been the fault of my DVD burner, or something. No idea if you can make them with dual-layer, but I suppose that the playback would be sketchier than with single layer.

I've Just skimmed through this whole thread to see if there was any mention of problems running a USB Loader (configurable or gx) on 4.1E? I've got the HBC channel up and working and running apps from my SD, but the 2 loaders I've tried never actually pick up the pendrive (Sandisk Cruzer 8gb, U3 software removed, formatted to WBFS and a test iso placed on the drive) They just always hit the 30 second timeout! To be honest, I think its just a cIOS issue im up against. I'm going to try and run through the much simpler steps outlined in the OP (I've been trudging through GBATemp for hours) and see how that goes! If there is something glaringly obvious i've missed, it'd be greatly appreciated if someone could point it out

Cheku posted:I've Just skimmed through this whole thread to see if there was any mention of problems running a USB Loader (configurable or gx) on 4.1E? Yeah, it is most likely a cIOS issue. Which one do you have installed? If you have 4.1 and haven't installed a cIOS yet, you'll need to do the whole "IOS downgrade to restore the trucha bug fix" thing, which I don't think is in the OP.

If you get it installed and it still doesn't work, verify that you're using the correct USB port.

So I restored my factory default settings and updated to by 4.1u after the HBC channel for some reason stopped working, trying to get some things working. Now the HBC is black screening and I have looked all over the place for answers, but can't find anything, can anyone help?

Just installed BootMii as boot2 but I can't seem to access the BootMii menu or whatever to backup my NAND. The BootMii as boot2 installer under HackMii reports "SUCCESS". Preparing the SD card from the BootMii installer appears to work, and I verified that the bootmii directory and its files are on the SD card. I see the blue slot light flashes that the BootMii FAQ described when I boot the Wii that supposedly indicate boot2 installation succeeded. My Wii is an early/mid-2008 model on System Menu 4.1. I'd suspect my SD card is incompatible but it's a Lexar 2GB, which is listed as one that works with the current version of BootMii and the issue indicated only appears to be that it's slow for backup. Is there a button combination or something I'm supposed to hold down during the extra few seconds of black screen before the System Menu comes up to trigger the BootMii menu? I have Preloader installed, do I need to disable it or something? Or is that list incorrect my and SD card actually doesn't work? Something in the bootmii.ini maybe?

hawk989s posted:Have you tried installing as IOS to see if that works? Thanks - just tried that. BootMii/IOS installed fine and I'm running the backup now, appears to be OK. Is that a clue as to why I couldn't access BootMii when installed as boot2? And since I have Preloader installed, and Preloader can boot to HBC, and HBC can launch BootMii to restore my NAND if I ever needed to, does that mean I have the same protection and there's no point in trying to get it working as boot2?

Now I've just renamed the bootmii folder to bootmii_no and change it back whenever I want to use it. edit: The bootmii.ini was configured correctly and worked fine on another Wii, so it wasn't that.

Now I've just renamed the bootmii folder to bootmii_no and change it back whenever I want to use it. Interesting, but didn't seem to fix my problem. I've played around a bit with bootmii.ini and as far as I can tell, its presence, absence or contents aren't having an effect on anything. I noticed that unlike the VIDEO setting, AUTOBOOT and BOOTDELAY lines were commented out in the bootmii.ini written to my SD card by the installer. Uncommented them, changed their values, nothing changes -- I get the blue slot light flashes but a few seconds later, System Menu as normal. Occasionally with the SD card inserted I get a black screen and a hard freeze upon booting, but it's not repeatable or tied to any particular change -- I'll simply unplug/replug the power cord, boot and everything's normal the next time. I guess the simplest explanation is that my SD card actually isn't compatible with BootMii/boot2 -- that list at wiibrew.org could be wrong, or there could be subtle differences in a few models of Lexar 2GB cards that make some unsuitable. Still seems wrong though.

Checked my card and it was FAT16 so I tried formatting as FAT32 and same deal -- it seems as though BootMii/boot2 is properly installed but it isn't reading the SD card at all, so I'm going to assume that's what the problem is. I did back up my NAND with BootMii/IOS and I'll just try another card sometime when I have one around. Thanks for the help, everyone who tried.

ok, any suggestions on this? Ive trying to get the external hard drive for my softmodded wii to work. i bannerbombed it, and ive used several different cIOS and whatnot. I got it to work sporadically, two occasions. both times, after i exited out of the loader and went back in I got the same error msg. I keep getting that damned usb drive not found (or sometimes -1 error). I tried switching usb ports, waiting to plug it in only after the wii has fully booted, different cIOS. I also double checked the drive on my netbook and my mac. they both show it has its primary partition in wbfs with all the games. Its a 500gb Simpletech external (essentially a western digital, as that is what the computer is saying is in there). any help would be immensely appreciated.

My friend just told me he bought Beatles Rock Band and it hosed his Wii up (says it won't boot up any more). He's not savvy so he doesn't remember what he did but I'm assuming he allowed it to update. I don't know why this would happen though since the way PreLoader is set up, I told it to skip update checks. Apparently this does not work for Beatles Rock Band. Since I'm essentially tech support for my friends can anyone recommend what could be wrong? The only thing I can think of is I set his system up with PreLoader and it autoboots to USBLoader. If this Beatles update broke the PreLoader, I can see why his system isn't working; but I'm not sure how to tell him to fix it. Any suggestions? And any way to prevent this crap from happening again since skip update check isn't working?

I tried to reboot fix and it still won't load past it. Should i just tank it all and start from scratch? I tried swapping between BootMii as IOS and boot 2 and both installed at the same time and the only difference is whether or not the option for Launch BootMii is listed Blizzy_Cow fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Sep 28, 2009 |

DON'T UPDATE TO 4.2 Just read on NeoGaf that Nintendo has a new update out, and they are hitting homebrew hard. 4.2 deletes the Homebrew Channel, BootMii (both IOS and Boot2 variations), all custom IOS's and removes the BannerBomb exploit.
