I lent my Wii to my sister, who wants to borrow it for Skyward Sword. Except I forgot to tell her not to update it, so I assume that she's going to update it to 4.3 erasing my homebrew stuff. How will I get the Homebrew channel and stuff back? Just use the new Letterbomb exploit and get it back installed and I'll be able to do everything normally as before?

If you can get the Wii back, install Priiloader and set it to not allow disc or online updates. e: if you can't, ModMii works with 4.3 now using Letterbomb, or you can just use Letterbomb on your own Conduit for Sale! fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Nov 15, 2011 |

Has it been confirmed that Skyward Sword has a newer update than 4.3?

I don't think so, but the System Menu version doesn't really matter so long as you have Priiloader installed and you keep your CIOS up to date. My Wii has been on 3.2 since forever.

Oh. Well, moot point, then. When was the last update that did anything whatsoever besides trying to eliminate homebrew?

4.0 I think? Whichever one added HD SD card support.

The most recent update (4.31) didn't even make a token effort at removing Homebrew. There was an estimate that 1% of the Wii userbase has actually modified their consoles and some say that's a vastly inflated estimate, so it really isn't worth Nintendo's time and money.

I have a softmodded 4.2U Wii with Bootmii installed in Boot2 and no Priiloader. Does the Priiloader installer overwrite Boot2, or does it put Priiloader somewhere else? Also, in the unlikely event something goes wrong when installing Priiloader, will that screw up something that can't be fixed by restoring from a NAND backup through Bootmii? These are probably stupid paranoid questions, but I don't think they can be answered with "just use Modmii."

It can actually, ModMii installs both BootMii in boot2 and Priiloader (which leads me to believe that no, Priiloader doesn't overwrite BootMii).

Priiloader won't overwrite anything except maybe StartPatch, which does the exact same thing. It's safe to use with Bootmii. Also, a NAND restore will fix anything software-wise. Unless of course the problem is in the backup made.

pokecapn posted:Unless you bought your Wii before mid-2009, it's not going to happen because newer disc drives can't read burned DVDs. Luckily, USB loading is both way more convenient and keeps your drive unused so you know it'll work when you're ripping the game, playing GameCube games, or need to play the oddball game that doesn't work right with USB loaders (I think Metroid Prime Trilogy still has this issue). The Wii drive, even in Wiis that can read burned DVDs, is also finnicky as hell, so I hope you like trying to start the game 5 times before it goes.

So after owning a Wii for almost 5 years to the day, I'm finally softmodding it, because the noise that the disc drive makes when it's running is drat near unbearable, and I'd prefer to not have to buy another Wii. I'm on a Mac, so ModMii is not an option, but I used that FAQ from GAF that someone posted, and everything seems to be running smoothly. I got BootMii installed, the HBC, and a bunch of those cIOSes that the FAQ told me to get installed as well. I do have a question about the USB loaders, though. Can you just use any old USB hard drive? Black Friday is just around the corner, and I think there are a few fairly nice portable HDs at Best Buy that would fit what I need just right (I've amassed a nice collection over the years). And can I install the loader before I purchase the HD, or should I just wait?

And can I install the loader before I purchase the HD, or should I just wait? I've been using an old, gigantic, broken Seagate hard drive that I cracked open and put in an even older 120GB hard drive I stripped out from my mother's old system. The hard drive doesn't even fit properly in the enclosure, I had to cut some of the casing to make sure it closes properly. It worked perfectly fine, but the absolutely latest versions of USB Loader GX and other loaders absolutely refuse to recognize it. These new versions will read my dinky 8GB flash drive perfectly fine, though. No idea what changed in these versions, haven't bothered to investigate it more, but you really should be safe with using just about any hard drive if that hacked together solution worked. Flash drives work perfectly fine as well if nothing else. As a side note: if anyone else runs into this issue, install the older, working version of your USB Loader as a full channel install, then put a the newer install on your SD card with just a forwarder channel to use with a flash drive if certain games refuse to work in the old version (Return to Dreamland, I'm looking at you...).

Goddammit, every time I softmod a Wii I forget all the basic poo poo. Two questions: 1: -2011, that's a trucha bug thing, right? How do I fix that again (running 4.1, plus whatever junk ModMii gave me that would install without spitting that error at me) 2: when I ran the HackMii thing via Smash Stack it says "the installed boot1 prevents a boot2 install (-2)", which I've never seen before. MMM says this Wii is running boot2rev4 - isn't that some new thing that wouldn't be present with 4.1? What's the deal there?

It's been a while, but I know Seagate drive typically aren't compatible with USB loading, so you should definitely do some googling beforehand. That might not be the case anymore though, it's been a while.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the Waninkoko stuff is really outdated. I've been using DX2 with configurable USB loader and I can play all my games off it, including Metroid Prime Trilogy (I can finally take it out of the disk drive!). I followed this guide and it worked perfectly: http://gwht.wikidot.com/d2x.

Seagates have been very reliable, I have the previous model and it runs fine. GBATemp's list has the 500 gig goflex as compatible, I think you should be fine. There is seagate software you can use to turn off the automatic spindown - I dont know if you need to use that on the goflex

Also I just checked and I was wrong, ModMii does install d2x. So yeah, use d2x.

It depends on the loader. The latest release of ConfigurableUSB Loader supports NTFS, but I know a lot of the emulators will only support FAT32/FAT. Your best bet would be to partition the HDD as FAT32 for the emulators and NTFS for your loader.

No, the emulators I use (Snes9x GX, FCE Ultra GX, and Visual Boy Advance GX) didn't support an NTFS partition when I tried, only FAT32. WBFS is also a good option, but I know some may not want to have to use WBFS Manager.

You could try installing / using ios 236 instead http://gwht.wikidot.com/ios236 for the second part, they fixed the boot2 installation option on later wiis - those will only be able to install bootmii as an ios. moron izzard fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Nov 21, 2011 |

Having kind of a weird issue. Whenever I go to SD instead of the main wii menu it will begin to load channels and then freeze. If I select what game or program I want to run before it freezes it will work just fine but if I let it sit for any amount of time it will hard lock my wii needing a power plug pull reset. Any ideas?

The IOS236 installer didn't work because some IOS isn't patched, it didn't tell me which so I assumed it was talking about IOS36 as that's the one giving me all the other errors. I can't patch IOS36 without downgrading and then reupgrading IOS15, but the program that's supposed to do that for me is giving me that -1035 error and telling me I need a different/better downgrader. I've modded a ton of Wiis before, I don't know what the hell is going on this time, it's not like I did anything differently.

You shouldn't need to downgrade anything to install ios 236. Have you tried to use the offline method? If you're not on 4.3, do you have the relevant IOS installed for the homebrew channel to use ahbprot and whatnot (I don't know if that matters but I'm doublechecking). Maybe you should just start from the beginning, make sure everything gets copied over correctly (did the meta.xml get copied for the ios 236 installer).

I've been using the offline method the entire time, that's how I do everything. I'm running 4.1E plus whatever WADs ModMii gave me (minus the ones that wouldn't install due to the -2011 error). Definitely copied the XML file, everything's where it should be. How do I check whether AHBPROT is working properly?

The homebrew channel options page should tell you what ios it is running on. If its not ios 58, download the ios 58 wad or use the ios 58 installer on the homebrew browser (a side note: I've done all my installs of ios or cios etc etc online, with no problems; maybe try that with the ios 236 installer after you're done with this?), then reinstall the homebrew channel, and it should be using ios 58
