Do I need to do anything special to go about updating to the latest version of the the shopping channel? I'm currently running on 3.3U, and today I upgraded to the latest version of the Homebrew Channel. I ran the Wii Shop and IOS51 installer (hadn't updated anything since probably around September before today), but when I went to the Shop Channel, it said I still needed the latest system update. So at this point, do I just download and install the latest update? I thought the Wii Shop/IOS51 installer was supposed to have done that for me...

Good advice, thanks. As cool as Nintendo's newest update is, I'll just wait a bit to hear if there's more to it than what we already know.

I didn't really get the impression that they're about to release bootmii with that posting. To me it looked like he was just jeering Nintendo for not really doing anything to stop the VC/Wiiware piracy with the latest update.

There's a little bit of an update about bootmii on hackmii.com. Sounds like marcan's too bummed out over the success of the USB Loader, but bootmii is still being worked on. Possible public beta "within the next couple of weeks." As tempted as I am to upgrade my Wii to 4.0, I'm hoping I can wait until Bootmii is installed, as theoretically, once it's on, there's nothing Nintendo can do permanently shut down HBC.

Just thought I'd let everyone know there's a new version of the homebrew browser, and it's fantastic. It runs a lot more smoothly, it's easier to browse through programs, and it even has some groovy Capcom-ish music that plays. That's one thing I wish the HBC had... background music. The intro screen music is awesome, it's kind of a bummer that as you go through your apps, there is absolute silence.

Eegah posted:drat, this is a lot nicer. I had a lot of trouble reading the descriptions in the older version. That's happened to me with several programs, even back with the older version of the Homebrew Browser, not sure if it's because I hadn't downloaded the program using the browser. A minor inconvenience, I've just gone and deleted the older version.

So has anyone here played around with Bootmii at all yet, or are we still waiting for a more stable release? I'm itching to update to 4.0 now that Majora's Mask is out for the Virtual Console, but I would also like to have Bootmii there as a safety net for any potential Nintendo shenanigans.

So I got around to installing the preloader using the guide at http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144835. I followed the guide and the preloader works just fine soooo... now what? At the end of the guide you're still on 3.2. I want to get access back to the Wii shop channel so I can buy Majora's Mask, but I need to upgrade to 4.0. With the preloader installed, can I just upgrade to 4.0 through the "official" means or is there a set of instructions with more stuff I should do in order to get it upgraded? Apologies in advance if this question was already addressed, there's been a lot of back-and-forth tech stuff the past few days so it's been a bit difficult trying to figure out what is relevant to one particular situation. Thanks everyone!

Sizzlechest posted:If you followed all the steps, you should have 4.0 installed. If you were doing the online version, go to step 4 and continue. Yes, you will need to reinstall the preloader when you are done.  I completely missed step 4. Ok, hopefully I can just redo steps 5 and 6 without any troubles.

Ok, I went back and redid this, and now I'm on 4.0 and the Shop Channel works again. I re-installed the preloader and that appears to work fine, except the safety warning screen still displays when going to the System Menu. When I had the preloader installed on 3.2, it disabled the safety screen and went straight to the menu. Is there something I need to add to hack.ini to remove the screen again?

Sizzlechest posted:http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/hacks That did the trick, and wow, there's quite a few more options than I had before. Sizzlechest, you've been super awesome with all your help in this thread. Moving on to the next matter: transferring my HBC stuff from a standard SD card over to the SDHC card I can now use. Sounds like the latest version of HBC is buggy with the compatibility, so the best bet would be to leave it all on the regular SD card for now, right?

What's the deal with the HBC's auto-updater, anyways? I just checked and I'm still on 1.01. I recall previously that even though an update was out, the auto-updater didn't kick in until some random time later.

Capnbigboobies posted:To all the people having hard drive compatibility problems, use a 2.5 inch laptop hard drive and an el-cheepo usb enclosure. The enclosures are USB powered and often do not have a standby mode to crash your games. Also you don't need an extra power brick to plug in. This sounds like pretty good advice. Don't suppose you have a link to the enclosure you mention or recommendation about what hard drive to buy.

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!

Milky_Sauce posted: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? They are not the same thing, and it is perfectly reasonable to have both installed and running on your Wii. The preloader allows you to do some different hacks to your Wii right at startup (for me, I'm just glad it can get rid of the startup warning screen). BootMii allows you to backup and restore your system, in the event you brick it. They're similar, but they actually work well with each other. Edit: I'm sure someone else here can give a much better, technical answer about the differences between PreLoader and BootMii. In my personal experience, I used BootMii to back up my system to an SD card in case my Wii ever gets bricked... and I used PreLoader to get rid of that annoying startup warning screen.

Two issues have me stumped: 1) I just bought The Beatles: Rock Band and it's wanting me to update. But the thing is, I'm already on 4.1 so I fear updating will bring it to the dreaded 4.2. Is anyone aware of a custom IOS update or something to get it working? 2) When I updated to 4.1U a couple of weeks ago, Preloader stopped working. I updated hacks.ini from wiibrew.org, but when I try to load them I get an error saying "no hacks from your systemmenu version (v449) were found" I'm not sure what this means, because at the very beginning of hacks.ini it says "version=449". Has this happened to anyone else?

A Violence Gang posted:No idea about your second question, but the TB:RB disc came out before 4.2; it's not that update. It had zero adverse effects on my homebrew (which is only HBC, Preloader and RawkSD). So I make no guarantees about what it might do to you, but several people here have accepted it without consequence I believe. I just want to make sure that whatever update it installs came straight from the disc and it doesn't connect online to download 4.2 as well.

A Violence Gang posted:Good point then -- that I have no idea about. I installed the TB:RB update on release day before 4.2 existed. I for the most part got it to work -- I loaded GeckoOS and it allowed me to install the Rock Band IOS by itself... but going back to the Wii system menu, it still has the game showing as an updater instead. So for the moment the only way I can play the game is by loading it through GeckoOS. A little cumbersome, but better than nothing.

I did recently go from a regular SD card to SDHC (like in the last six months), but I only encountered this problem with Preloader when I upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 a month or so ago. Does Preloader only recognize hacks.ini if it's on a regular SD card? Edit: Apparently yes, that was exactly the issue.  Health menu and disc updates disabled, resolving both of my issues. Thanks as always for your help, sizzlechest.

Finally got around to installing a hard drive to go along with my Wii. I followed the directions in the OP (used rev 17 instead of 19) and so far it's looking pretty slick. First game I installed was Beatles Rock Band and while the game plays, it does not recognize the DLC songs that are on my SD card. Any reason for this and anything I need to do to fix it?

It is a program that automatically connects to the net, checks what poo poo you have on your Wii, then automatically downloads/installs the newest poo poo. I've been looking for a program just like this, thank you. I get my IOS's confused and pretty much had no idea what I had and what I didn't (turns out: I didn't have all that much). Next thing I think for me to do is to look into a forwarder to more directly access the stuff on my new hard drive. I've seen some talk about them over the last page and a half... is there any specific one that stands out above the rest? Edit: Tried Narolez's R3 forwarder that someone recommended on the last page, but I'm clueless about how to use it, and the readme file's instructions are vague, to say the least.

Every single-layer game takes like 40-60 minutes and every dual-layer game takes about an hour and a half to 2 hours. Out of curiosity, how common are dual layer Wii games? I ripped my entire game collection over the past week, and I don't think I had a game that topped 5 gigs in size. Some games like Super Mario Bros. Wii were laughably tiny. For whatever it's worth, the largest game I had only took me about 15-20 minutes to copy over and I copied everything using the Wii directly.

The first post in that thread you linked to mentions starting the program without anything connected to the USB port, but that doesn't work either. Also, I noticed the program says it can rip Game Cube games. At the risk of sounding like a total tard, does this mean it's possible to play GC backups as well as Wii backups?
