Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess up Hi, my name is Syrek and I started using Homebrew about a month or so ago. Since then I have been happily enjoying such games like Super Smash Bros and TMNT: Turtles in Time. However, just recently the Wii update version 4.0 was released and I wanted to put all my VC and Wiiware games on the SD card including the ones I downloaded. The hacked VC content did not work so I deleted them and bought alot of Wii Points to actually physically purchase the games. However when upon downloading them from the Wii Shop Channel, I concured an error code as soon as the Wii stole the points that were needed to download said game and instead of downloading came up with error code 204036. Upon this, I thought it was an internet problem. Apparently it was not for I bought Super Punch-out!! with no problems since it was not a hacked game. Now I cannot purchase the VC games that I hacked nor hack them once more as I deleted my Homebrew Channel before I had the knowledge of this occurance. Now all these great games cannot be bought and I lost a good 5500 points on games that I cannot aquire. Any thoughts. Sorry for the long details but I need to find a way to download these games since I paid good money. Any suggestions? Thanks and I look forward to posting here often. I don't want to format my Wii in fear that my Brawl, Animal Crossing and Mario Kart saves will be lost. Also I removed the Homebrew Channel and now I can't reverse the process or help it with its assistance. I NEED HELP!!http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13530#msg-13530Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:03:21 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15281#msg-15281 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15281#msg-15281

What does Wi-Fi have to do with copying savegames?

Friendcodes and things like that are part of the savegame.
So far every game that has WiFi sets the flags to not move or copy savegames.

Because of that people consider WiFi to be the reason.

The only minor flaw is, that the developers could have set the flag only for the parts of the savegames, that matter for online gaming. (see VC-games: savegames can be copied, savestaes can't)]]> daniel_c_w SoftwareFri, 24 Apr 2009 14:57:48 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15280#msg-15280 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15280#msg-15280 bushing SoftwareFri, 24 Apr 2009 14:39:20 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15205#msg-15205 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15205#msg-15205wiibrew.org] (or Gecko OS, if it still works, I am not sure)

while the most important ones like Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart and Animal Crossing were not able to trasnfer over probably because Nintendo encoded something to stop people from bringing their completed saves over to their friends.

Those games you mentioned all use the Wi-Fi connection. This is considered to be the reason, why the savegames have a no-copy-flag.]]> daniel_c_w SoftwareThu, 23 Apr 2009 07:10:07 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15126#msg-15126 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,15126#msg-15126 Syrek SoftwareWed, 22 Apr 2009 17:30:13 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,14297#msg-14297 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,14297#msg-14297 Bomber SoftwareWed, 15 Apr 2009 05:28:48 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,14135#msg-14135 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,14135#msg-14135 bushing SoftwareMon, 13 Apr 2009 15:44:12 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13819#msg-13819 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13819#msg-13819 Syrek SoftwareFri, 10 Apr 2009 04:56:12 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13684#msg-13684 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13684#msg-13684

BTW, is there any chance this was a one in a million occurence? I find it hard to believe Nintendo would steal your money without notification via the Wii Shop channel. Like someone before me suggested, can you redownload any games legally via the Wii Shop Channel?]]> Arikado SoftwareTue, 07 Apr 2009 23:06:55 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13578#msg-13578 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13578#msg-13578 Syrek SoftwareTue, 07 Apr 2009 21:24:12 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13573#msg-13573 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13573#msg-13573

couldn't I download the Homebrew Channel on someone elses Wii then transfer it to my Wii via the SD card?

No you cant, You cant get anything to run from the HBC from the SD slot, it will give you an error]]> MiniMii SoftwareTue, 07 Apr 2009 21:03:07 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13566#msg-13566 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13566#msg-13566 bg4545 SoftwareTue, 07 Apr 2009 20:10:42 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13562#msg-13562 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13562#msg-13562 Syrek SoftwareTue, 07 Apr 2009 19:34:48 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13555#msg-13555 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13555#msg-13555 Syrek SoftwareTue, 07 Apr 2009 17:35:57 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13547#msg-13547 Re: Virtual Console Download Problem/Homebrew Mess uphttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,13530,13547#msg-13547

I've read the error has been going around and has NOTHING to do with HBC.
