Re: How do I fakesign IOS36 again once I updated to 4.3? - 13 years ago
Use DOP-Mii to install IOS 36 v1042. However, if you are using an "LU64+" model, don't do this.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
Re: Any other ways for homebrew? - 13 years ago
That would be very difficult, if not impossible. Though, if you had system menu 3.2 or older and a mod chip, you could use the DVD installer.by jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: 4.3 freeze when homebrew is installed PLEASE HELP - 13 years ago
QuoteEnergizerYou need to pack DOP-Mii into a *.WAD so you can install it as a channel and you don't need the HBC. Don't do this. Simply launch DOP-Mii through the exploit of your choice. All you have to do is remove or rename the Hackmii installer executable (boot.elf), and put the boot.dol from DOP-Mii on the root of your SD card. Then run Yu Gi Owned or another exploit.by jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Semi bricked 4.3u Wii and using bootmii boot2 as elf loader - 13 years ago

Re: Semi bricked 4.3u Wii and using bootmii boot2 as elf loader - 13 years ago
Use NUS Downloader to obtain the necessary system WADs. As for DVD playback, WiiMC used to require IOS 202. However, that is no longer necessary. Just make sure you launch the latest revision of WiiMC through the latest HBC. Also, you should make sure you have IOS 58 installed before installing the HBC, since that will allow USB 2.0 support.by jbc007 - Getting Started

Re: Anyone here using the latest Wii firmware is able to use savegame backup programs? - 13 years ago
No, you can downgrade IOS on that wii without trouble. Use DOP-Mii to install IOS 36 v1042 and you will be good to go. However, you will not be able to downgrade IOS on your newer wii. Therefore, this is not an option for installing the saves on the new wii.by jbc007 - Homebrew Applications
Re: Anyone here using the latest Wii firmware is able to use savegame backup programs? - 13 years ago
If you select use IOSxx + AHBPROT (where the xx is currently 61 in your case), DOP-Mii will be able to downgrade IOSes. However, as was already stated, if you are using a newer ("LU64+") wii, the pre October 23, 2008 IOSes will not work. None of the newer IOSes have the necessary exploits.by jbc007 - Homebrew Applications

QuoteMagilI thought that if I wiped the NAND with bootmii as an IOS, I would have absolutely no access to bootmii since it would get wiped out along with the rest of the NAND. Right, that is why there is a degree of risk. Incidentally, that happens when you restore a NAND backup with Bootmii/IOS as well. Therefore, this applies just as much to restoring a NAND backup with Bootmii/IOS as it doby jbc007 - Homebrew General
Re: Semi bricked 4.3u Wii and using bootmii boot2 as elf loader - 13 years ago
You must install the system menu's IOS and the region select as well. For example, have IOS 30 v1040, system menu 3.2U, the NTSC-U region select, and IOS 36 v1042 WADs in your wad folder (IOS 36 is not absolutely necessary, but it is useful to have an IOS on which homebrew can run). You may also want to install IOS 58 for USB 2.0 support in the HBC. Make sure that there are no other WADsby jbc007 - Getting Started

Re: Semi bricked 4.3u Wii and using bootmii boot2 as elf loader - 13 years ago
That could work if there was a WAD installer that could run on MINI. This is not exactly the case; however, some builds of Comex's NAND formatter install WADs but do not format. Also, it could be launched through Bootmii itself; there is no need to replace any Bootmii files. Obtain a system menu and its IOS, IOS 36, and the region select.

Re: 4.3 freeze when homebrew is installed PLEASE HELP - 13 years ago
It could possibly be an IOS issue. Reinstall IOS 58. If that doesn't work, uninstall IOS 58 (this is undesirable, since you would not have USB 2.0 support, but it is better than nothing).by jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Wii Shop Channel problem - 13 years ago
QuoteSifJarQuotebg4545System WADs from NUS Downloader are legal and allowed. WADs that are not allowed are VC/WiiWare or custom channels that use Nintendo banners or parts of them.

QuoteMagilI wouldn't be able to tell him to use Comex's NAND formatter, because as I've said already far to many times, he has bootmii as an IOS. Aside from the risk involved, which I mentioned already, I don't see how that matters at all. Anyway, if the NAND backup came from the same wii, there is not too much to worry about. It will probably work fine.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
Re: Wii Shop Channel problem - 13 years ago
The shop channel clearly does not like the IOS that it is using. Perhaps this is caused by some sort of bug in DOP-Mii. Download the latest revision of the shop channel and IOS 56 with NUS Downloader, and have it pack them into WADs. Install these WADs.by jbc007 - Homebrew Applications
Re: Forwarders as channels - 13 years ago
It certainly is easier (and arguably better) to install Bootmii/boot2 or Priiloader, but SadMenu is not that hard to use. ShowMiiWads can extract the necessary files, which can then be used with SadMenu without difficulty. Dolphin is not an option, since channels do not appear in the emulated system menu. Besides, it takes some effort to set Dolphin up with a decrypted NAND dump and then instaby jbc007 - Homebrew Applications

Re: Bricked - 13 years ago
Either the NAND dump really is from another wii, or it was made with Bootmii Beta 3, in which case you will have to modify the NAND dump yourself because of a bug in that revision of Bootmii. However, this is probably more effort than it is worth. Furthermore, the Konami code is only necessary if you have Bootmii installed as IOS, not boot2. If this is the case, restoring the NAND backup is soby jbc007 - FixMii

Re: My Homebrew theme - 13 years ago
I had nothing to do with this, so what I am about to say is only speculation. WiiHacks is generally considered to be openly supportive of piracy (linking to wii game torrent sites is a dead give away). WiiBrew is completely against piracy, and clearly wants nothing to do with people who feel otherwise. I assume this applies even to a theme advertising a site supportive of piracy.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
Re: Noob questions about black screens and other freezes - 13 years ago
Everything I suggested you do is completely safe. Aside from the installation of StartPatch or Priiloader (which is probably safer than the official system update that you performed), nothing I suggested could brick your wii. If you have an "LU64+" wii and you downgrade an IOS to a pre-October 23 2008 revision (IOS 36 v1042 in this case), some games and possibly homebrew will fail to work. Howby jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Wiiware/ Virtual console compatibility with Gecko OS 1.9.1.3 - 13 years ago
Glad you got it working. By the way, since you now have an old IOS, newer games will want you to update. Therefore, you will either need to run such games through Gecko OS, or use StartPatch or Priiloader to block the disc update check.by jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Wiiware/ Virtual console compatibility with Gecko OS 1.9.1.3 - 13 years ago
Be sure that you are using the latest revision of DOP-Mii and the HBC. When you launch DOP-Mii, choose to have it run on IOSxx + AHBPROT. Then it will be able to downgrade IOS 36.by jbc007 - Getting Started

Re: keys.bin specific to nand.bin? - 13 years ago
The keys.bin, like the nand.bin, is specific to the wii from which the NAND was dumped. The keys are also appended to the end of the nand.bin file, so you do not need keys.bin to restore a NAND backup. However, if you want it anyway, just make another NAND backup, and an identical keys.bin file will be created.by jbc007 - BootMii Beta
