I can't say enough about this whole thing. All I wanted to do was be able to play DVD movies on my Wii. I found it BS that Nintendo couln't add a few bytes of code to the system to make it do that. I call what those companies do piracy. Force you to have a stack of hardware that you don't need. I stumbled on this and found that I could make my Wii a one stop Game/media shop. I'm going to rave about WiiMC. The SMB feature in WiiMC is amazing. I can play ANYTHING on my Wii now. No more searching around the house through stacks of discs. I setup a network share on my PC to all my MP3,s Home vids, presentations, family photo's, Most everything is all in one awsome menu. You folkes are awsome.

For WiiMC, I recomend the SMB share setting to your media on your local computers. The FTP client is still a little buggy but it's ok because I'm not downloading media. Just accesing on my local computer.

Thanks again.

When I downloading from internet to disk wii freezes. For example when using homebrew browser for installing programs or when downloading something by another wii homebrew programs.

I reinstalled last IOS58...

Error 503 when creating new pages (no replies)

corey89 — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 22:50:25 +0200

I been trying to add some new pages for a few new apps not yet listed on WiiBrew, and after putting in the simple math question it always gives me this error:

Is this a general error with the wiki interface right now, or is it an issue on my end?

Over-aggressive caching on Wiki (no replies)

SamB — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 22:31:47 +0200

I've been having problems with Special:Preferences on the wiki; it kept seeming not to change my settings. At first I thought it might be my browser or something, so I tried a different one, and discovered that some of the things I'd tried to change had gone through after all. So I tried to change the rest, but soon it seemed stuck again...

So, I thought maybe it was a cache problem, and tried turning off the local cache in Safari. This didn't help, so I eventually tried adding bogus query parameters to the

http://wiibrew.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Preferences

form of the address (which you reach by attempting to save preferences).

Anyway, the point is that someone should probably reconfigure varnish so that it doesn't try to cache Special:Preferences, with either form of address; and I would be surprised if there weren't other Special: pages that it can bogusly cache...

Inconsiderate Mods. (4 replies)

d3m0n1q_733rz — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:23:02 +0100

One of the biggest problems I've seen with this site is the lack of consideration of its members by its moderators. In particular, I'm constantly getting onto SifJar for being a total asshole towards people other than myself. They're constantly removing posts simply because they don't think it's helpful as though they're supposed to decide EVERYTHING in the world. Frankly, new mods would be great and I'm about ready to cause a major problem for at least one of them if they don't get their act together and start treating people with a little dignity and respect and quit being an asswipe more often than a helpful mod.
Comments such as, "Seriously, if you can't figure that out, you have no business...," "However, unless you're being stupid, you should never brick your Wii anyway," "Are you a complete idiot? Sorry if that seems harsh, but why would you install a 4.2/4.1 theme on 4.3? Unless you were able to install BootMii/boot2, you CANNOT fix your Wii," make it a point that they have NO business trying to moderate other people's comments. They believe they know everything there is to know about everything and that anything someone else says that disagrees with them and threatens their little world must be destroyed on sight.
Something really needs to be done about this mod because they've belittled at least 5 different people that I know of and they're not getting any better.

Suggestion to actually encrypt passwords and login info. (no replies)

Hey, just wanted to toss out there that an SQL based forum not use plain-text to hold and transmit passwords. Thought I would throw it out there since it's sort of a site about hacking something. >_>

PM system broken? (12 replies)

technoman — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:58:04 +0100

I was wondering what happened to the PM system. I was trying to send another user a PM about something and I get this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/hbc-www/forum.wiibrew.org/include/db/mysql/mysqli.php on line 248

Oddly enough I get that same message when click the Send a PM button from the control center. I vaguely remember that it was getting fixed or something but I started getting it for some reason when I try to post (could be FiOS though that's causing problems with all of their updates".

Wiki email notifications and other wiki issues (no replies)

HunterZ — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:18:33 +0200

Is there a reason that email notification options are disabled on the wiki?

I also noticed that time-related preferences (time zone, time format) won't stick when I try to save them.

Thanks.

Somebody knows why is not possible to add some kind of web addresses to a page in the wiki?

Example:

If you insert this address in a wiki page you get an error 503.

From yesterday I'm getting Error 503 each time I try to visit the wiki.

In a short period was going down twice.

I've noticed that when you report a post you get this error:

I'm not sure what it is but the reports never go through. Sometimes this happens when I make posts as well but they usually post anyway.

I recently tried to edit a page on the wiki, but it tells me i can't edit it until I confirm my email. I enter it into my account setting, change my email, and save it,but when I leave the page it resets, and I still can't edit the wiki. Does anybody know a solution for this?

I cannot confirm my email address on dsibrew.org, and as a result, cannot edit the wiki.

Cannot create a Wiibrew Wiki account (5 replies)

antibyte — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 02:20:36 +0200

Hi,

I would like to create a Wiki account on Wiibrew.org, but after answering the "What company made the Wii?" with "Nintendo" and filling out username, 2x the password and clicking "Create account", I get the following error message:

Login error
Incorrect or missing confirmation code.

Is there something I'm missing? Seems to me like wiki account creation is broken. :(

Question about rules (7 replies)

technoman — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 22:41:05 +0100

I have a question about the rules. Emulators run roms so why would they get you banned? I mean don't you need them for the emus? Personally I think that rule should say "ROM links will get you banned instead of ROMS will get you banned. Could we possibly get a change of rules?

If this post is not allowed then I'm sorry and feel free to delete this post.

wtf redirect to you are a pirate (6 replies)

tumaru — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 20:26:48 +0100

I just tried to post a thread in general and suddenly I was redirected to (http://www.cristgaming.com/pirate.swf). All I was asking for was help updating now something listed above this box as things not allowed. I did reference one thing that starts with an i (I won't mention it just in case its filtering based on words) but that was just a reference as a possible cause of a problem.

Prolly my misunderstanding... (15 replies)

Magil — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:02:38 +0200

[forum.wiibrew.org]

... but I thought that cIOS was only to be discussed only when it was related to legitimate homebrew applications. And I found it quite censoring to simply lock the topic. If USB loaders, which require cIOS to work, are forbidden... wouldn't it be, by logic, that Priiloader which requires cIOS to work, be also forbidden?

Quote:
bg4545
We don't support any cIOSes or patched IOSes [anymore]. Also, Darkcorp should never be used because it can totally screw up your Wii.

Or am I missing a recent reform? I admit I haven't had much time to lurk/post lately.

Regarding SNEEK... (6 replies)

Magil — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 18:36:27 +0100

I know that as soon as you read the title of my post, many insults raced across your mind, and both Mods and Admins alike would fight over who would get to send this post to the junkyard, but I ask you to hear me out first.

It came to me as a shocking suprise when I first heard about the possibility of having a 100% un-brickable Wii through the use of NAND emulation, and then soon after finding out it was now a forbidden application to discuss due to it's ability to load backups with ease. I could've lived WITHOUT knowing about this feature, and wouldn't have cared even if I did find out, since I find it one of the most stupidest methods from which to load games. That is, comparing it to the other available methods.

What really interested me was the potential of working in a, how shall we say, "disposable" environment. If something at one point would break down the emulated NAND, it would all be a matter of replacing it with a sane one, all from the comfort of an everyday computer, as opposed from having to buy an expensive NAND programmer and developing decent soldering skills in order to fix the real physical one. It also interested me because it would work very well as a tool to determine the sanity of NAND dumps from other Wiis, as well as having the potential of manually trying out relatively dangerous things such as custom themes and channels in a rather realistic yet safe environment.

What I'd like to ask is if discussion of SNEEK was allowed, but only limited to it's use as a tool for either repair (more like... testing solutions before instructing on some of the more difficult issues on faulty NANDs) or development, and possibly as a security alternative to bootmii as an IOS (which we all now is quite pointless) and Priiloader. Instructions on how to install it and such would not be up for discussion, however. And it's rather questionable alternative uses would remain forbidden.
I just figured it was worth asking since the discussion of cIOS that enable functionality of several useful applications is allowed, but it's installation is not.

I do hope that, while I was clearly bending the rules when I said my post would not contain anything related to "backup loaders", you would at least take into consideration this idea of mine. If not, I apologize for bringing it up.

Ip address blocking, locking dead threads (8 replies)

dirtrider73068 — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 23:59:03 +0200

With the recent IP address banning, and noobs reviving old dead threads, I had a couple of ideas wonder if it could be done and be helpful.

1. Ip address's-Is there a way when ones creates a account, that that account can be locked into one IP address so that person can only have one name to that one IP address, so this keeps a person from creating more than one account to either troll, or create havoc under more than one name.

2. Dead threads-I have seen this on another site I have its a computer help forum. After a certain time frame a thread is locked and says something "time has expired for this thread create a new thread". Doing this, would it help from having noobs, revive a old dead thread to help on a problem, and force them to create a new thread. Can it be setup so the original creator of the thread can request it be reopened to expand or update there own thread.

I don't know if this would be worth it or would be a hassle, or do any good. I think its a good idea, what does everybody else think?

Sticky Update - Bootmii Beta 1 Is Now Outdated! (2 replies)

jbc007 — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:17:38 +0200

If you read through the various stickies on the forum, you will be led to believe that Bootmii Beta 1 is the latest version and it may have been abandoned, Bushing still wants to convert people's NAND dumps to run on different wiis (unless he really still does, despite his release of Betwiin quite a while back), nobody has found a solution to a brick in two years, and this needs more relevant questions (Indiana PWNS, or Yu Gi OWNED save file in addition to the Twilight Hack, for example). Is there any chance that these could finally be updated?

SMTP errors (6 replies)

Sometimes when I go from page to page, the site stops responding and after refreshing a few times, it's back and the cycle keeps on going. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Number of Players Section for Wiki (2 replies)

coder12 — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 05:42:09 +0200

So I was looking around on the wiki, when an interesting idea crossed my mind--do you think there could be a spot on the right hand location of the page (perhaps under the supported controllers module?) with the max number of players supported for the game/application? It's not a die-hard necessity, but sure as heck would be nice for easier browsing! :)

Are question regarding EMULATOR GAMES not allowed? (3 replies)

Dark_Wolf101 — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 19:53:47 +0200

I know it says discussion of ROMS will "get you banned", but does that include NES/SNES/N64, etc. games that you play on an emulator. The reason I ask is because, obviously emulators can be downloaded directly through the Homebrew Channel, and the Wiki pages contain game compatibility lists, so it seems somewhat at odds that discussion of these games in the Wiki forums would not be allowed. Have I misunderstood what's meant by ROMs? Anyway, just thought I'd check. Peace!
