I'm willing to test any and all Wii Homebrew, save for boot2 replacements that aren't Bootmiiby cactusjack901 - Testing Corner
Re: Possible Corrupted NAND? Can't run Discs or homebrew? - 15 years ago
sounds like you're having hardware issues. Seems like the solution is to get a new Wii, sorry dude.by cactusjack901 - FixMii
Re: Preloader brick - 15 years ago
nah, doesn't look like it, it seems like you wiped your system menu. In which case, you could only be helped if you had an infectus and a bootmii dump with your keys. Biggest problem here is you don't have your keys, nor an infectus. I'd donate my NAND, but I don't know if you have boot1b and boot2v4by cactusjack901 - FixMii
Re: no system settings menu ! only dots ! - 15 years ago
no idea, you installed cIOSCrap which could very well be the source of your issueby cactusjack901 - FixMii

Re: Is it safe to update Hombrew Browser to 1.0.6? - 15 years ago
Yes, updating HBC will NEVER cause problems. 1.0.5 was the first one that could be installed on 4.2 thoughby cactusjack901 - Getting Started

whoa whoa whoa, hey, don't mention that here. We don't like that sort of software around these partsby cactusjack901 - Homebrew Applications
Re: MPlayer CE won't play DVDs - 15 years ago
hrm... well, I know I have issues with certain DVDs on the program (for example, Pink Floyd's: The Wall), have you tried any other DVDs?by cactusjack901 - Homebrew Applications
Re: MPlayer CE won't play DVDs - 15 years ago
the cIOS you should have used is on this page but if you install an older DVDx, you won't need the cIOS to play DVDsby cactusjack901 - Homebrew Applications
Re: MPlayer CE won't play DVDs - 15 years ago
try using Hackmii Installer 0.3 or 0.4 TEST to install DVDx (don't use the 0.5 version, it has a different TitleID and thusly, mPlayer_CE won't work with it), and that should fix your problem. If you want, send me a PM and I'll send you one of these versionsby cactusjack901 - Homebrew Applications

Re: Boot2 Ios access? - 15 years ago
QuoteArikadoQuotecactusjack901QuoteArikadoQuoteJediJoel2. I also cannot play DVDs (one of the main reasons I modded). Checking forums though it seems like I might have to wait for a MPlayer update before this is possible. That's correct. MPlayer needs to be updated to compensate for the new DVDX title DISC. Once that is done (seriously, it only takes 2 seconds) MPlayer will work for you.by cactusjack901 - Getting Started
Re: cIOS Patchmii Installer - 15 years ago
yeah, I'm actually thinking about coming up with a method to allow for full homebrew functionality on 4.2 (basically, update, but keep one trucha enabled IOS, then deleting the stubbed IOS slots used for cIOSes, and then install said cIOSes)by cactusjack901 - Getting Started

Re: anti brick apps - 15 years ago
bootmii as boot2 will work if you have preloader installed, and don't worry about errors during the installation of bootmii to boot2, I don't think I've ever heard a report of someone getting bricked by bootmii EDIT: I worded what I said wrong, you SHOULD worry about errors, but I've never heard of someone getting said errors during installtationby cactusjack901 - Getting Started
Re: New Console, Update or No? - 15 years ago
don't update altogether since it'll update to 4.2 which is dangerous, homebrew enabled wii or not. as far as WiiConnect24 goes though, don't worry about turning it off, Nintendo doesn't have an automatic update feature like many people believe they do, so WC24 is actually pretty safe to leave onby cactusjack901 - Getting Started
Re: dvdx and mplayer - 15 years ago
your DVDx title is probably DISC, not DVDX, which will cause mplayer to crash right now, it needs to be updateby cactusjack901 - Homebrew Applications
Re: I think my wii is banner bricked - 15 years ago
QuoteSifJarQuotecactusjack901because to load a disc via savemii or savemiifrii they need to be patched to autoboot, and from there, the only way to load them is via a modchip. Sorry buddy, you're kinda F'd on this one. No offense, but if you could only install bootmii as IOS, you should've also installed Preloader.

Yeah, I'm aware of the lack of a "demo scene" back then, I may have been 3, but I was a part of it, my brother actually had an account for me on his BBS. ANYWHO, we should get back on topic, I think this guide is actually quite usefulby cactusjack901 - Homebrew Applications

QuoteI.R.onIn that time hacking groups were notable even their creations (intros/demos) are published as code examples in official c64 magazines. One last offtopic note here. These demos/intros were actually so popular/regarded, that there's still a "Demo Scene" based around making those types of Demos for DOS and whatnot.

Re: Guide to convert Virtual Console game saves to use with homebrew emulators - 15 years ago
QuoteSifJarIf you DO own the cartridge, you can legally dump a ROM of it, but not download it (i think). Unless you're talking to Nintendo, in which case you can legally dump a ROM of it, but you are not legally allowed to use the hardware that allows this because then you'd have an illegal copy of the game.by cactusjack901 - Homebrew Applications

QuoteSifJarThey do say that you can make a backup of your games though: QuoteNintendo Legal SiteThe backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. yet they later go on to say that the hardware allowing this copying (for olderby cactusjack901 - Offtopic
