Stokesy posted:You need a couple of things. Luisfe posted:You neet to have installed IOS249 before, I think. I'm confused. I'm using 3.3U, have a WAD installer channel, and would like to get this USB loader thing up and running. Do I need to do everything in that gamma tutorial before I do the things in stokesy's post? Or do I just need to install IOS249? The link mentions IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad, is that the same as IOS249? Also, it probably doesn't matter, but I'm reinstalling the homebrew channel and it says "I'm running under IOS34 4.15 I'll configure the homebrew channel to use IOS36" I just don't want to brick my Wii. dirby fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Apr 3, 2009 |

It took me a while to remember I needed to change the names of the dols to boot.dol, but after that it was smooth sailing with the network install working on the first try without IOS16. Thanks, everyone. Now to see if I can make some use out of that 8 gig thumb drive I bought.

TheRedEye posted:Yup. Now that this works, and we're likely to get Gamecube support added to USB Loader anyway, I wonder if people are making custom Gamecube game "channels" for the Wii? Speaking about the gamecube, neither of the gamecube save backup programs on the homebrew browser work for me. Is there some trick or other program that will backup my game saves?

Suitcase posted:I was in the same position as you, and from I understand you can't use an official gamecube memory card. After trying two or three programs over and over, I gave up and then noticed it said you must use a third-party memory card. I don't have one, but if someone does and is willing to test one of the programs out and let us know if they were successful with it. I can't get saves off of an official Nintendo card? That's annoying and weird. Luisfe posted:If it is F-Zero GX, you are out of luck, EVERYTHING else I've tried with the gamecube save backup thing has worked fine just following the program's instructions.

Strangely enough, my friend can't get MadWorld running properly on his Wii and he's just using a 1TB WD MyBook; the screen rolls down from the screen over and over making it unplayable. It's the only game with this problem. Try re-ripping it?

Does anyone know if there's a trick to using one of these? I finally figured it out, by doing some searching on the internet. It turns out the mere act of having my USB stick in the Wii confused Nugasa. With nothing in the USB ports, it works fine. Edit: Phenotype posted:Also, the WAD creator? Do I need it to get my discs in a format the Loader will recognize, or can I just rip them as isos? When you run the loader successfully, it will let you rip the discs while they're in the Wii itself.

OmegaMan86 posted:I have been using this program "EASEUS Partition Manager" to allocate and format the partitions. I then have been using the WBFS Manager 3.0 since that is supposed to format the drive and after a very quick format the program shows that it works by letting me move files into the HDD. Are you guys using a better program than this? I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, but I formatted my drive by connecting it to my Wii and running the backup loader. I ripped games with my Wii, and then used the standard windows command-line program to juggle files. There are a bunch of fancy GUI front-ends for it, but I don't mind the command line.

It cuts out all the time on all 3 wiimotes I don't know what games Dominic White is talking about (I actually didn't know that games had access to the volume level of the speaker), but I'm pretty sure that a number of games I have (at least Zelda, No More Heroes, and Zack and Wiki) don't force the speaker audio to play through the game itself; you just lose the audio.

I think I installed bootmii to boot2 successfully when I updated my homebrew channel. I haven't been following this thread for a while, and it didn't look like the first page or previous couple pages mentioned this problem. Basically, when my wii boots up, it does some stuff that makes it clear bootmii exists, but then goes straight to the normal health and safety screen. I'd like to make a backup so that way I don't risk bricking my wii with preloader or whatever, but since I can't get into the bootmii menu, I can't do that. The bootmii site doesn't seem to explain this, but maybe there's an obvious point I'm missing. Edit: Looking at it again, "Try booting with no SD card inserted. If you see a brief set of flashes from the blue slot LED right after you hit the power button, try a different SD card. Make sure you have a directory named "bootmii" with the "armboot.bin" and "ppcboot.elf" files inside." on the bootmii site seems to suggest that I need to try a different SD card? Final Edit:Yeah, that seems to have done the trick. dirby fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Aug 4, 2009 |

I just picked up No More Heroes 2 and it seems to want to do a system update. Since I've already used the 4.2 safe updater, I can't imagine what system update it wants to do. Also, can preloader be used to skip the update if it's unnecessary? I found a reference somewhere to a "skip update" function, but can't find it in the preloader menu. dirby fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jan 26, 2010 |

ExcessBLarg! posted:Copy the system menu hacks for your region 4.2 and save it as "hacks.ini" on the root of your SD card. Reboot, go into the Preloader settings and enable the hack for "Block Disc Updates" and probably "Block Online Updates" as well. This seems to have worked perfectly; thanks!

davey4283 posted:I'm using WBFS Manager 3.0 to format my sandisk cruzer 8gb thumbdrive so I can eventually move iso's over to it using the same program. I hope that clears up any confusion. I think I successfully formatted my stick that way, but I don't recall. I've found it more convenient just to rip isos from discs in the Wii in USB Loader GX (or whatever it is I use), and I think that program can format your stick too, so try it (both USB ports) before you return your stick.

Rabid Koala posted:Luckily, I had the foresight to install Priiloader, which disabled the update and allowed him to play the game without removing the Homebrew Channel. The moral of the story is that Priiloader is a drat good thing. I'm confused; does priiloader have a setting like that? I'm pretty sure I just don't see "system update?" questions in the first place with whatever setting I have. But it's totally possible I'm just confused because I fake-update my Wii when necessary.

With things like priiloader, nothing can really force an update unless you let it. If Metroid: Other M legitimately needs some new features, there'll probably be a safe-updater of some kind.
