First off, good job on the guides, very easy to follow. Ive followed your main guide, then this guide, everything was smooth. I backed up punch-out and unfortunately, the wii did not read it. I used a sony dvd+r and burned at 2x speed using imgburn. Disc channel says it cant read it, and neo gamma gives an error message (DVD read error [972]). I've been at it the whole day. Got any clues? (followed guide exactly, so u should know what ios's im running)

 

just skip update one

try dvd-r i think that is ur problem....

as to the other dude regarding tiger 10 loading from disc channel no diff preloader settings it is the ntsc version of the game...since you describe some hit and miss i wonder if you missed a file...i know when i installed this i follwed this guide here: http://yafaze.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=137 not the one in this thread...they seem diff...hope this helps

 

thanks, will try. Any particular brand? i saw verbatim's pop up here and there, about being good with game backups. I'll probably go with it.

 

i am from the ghetto literally and i use the dvd's people buy for me (in exchange i make them discs...) so almost every brand i used for wii backups worked so far but the catch had to be that they need to be dvd-r..tested memorex verbatim dynex hp so far all working for me....

 

Sweet, got it working with Memorex DVD-R. Thanks for the tip guys.
Just for future reference:

1)Gigaware 4gb SDHC does NOT detect hacks.ini
2)Sony DVD+R = NOT compatible

Maybe could update info in the guides about standard SD cards and DVD-Rs.

 

The guide already says if your using a SDHC SD Card and the hacks.ini file can not be read to use a non-sdhc SD card.

Also some DVD+R can work. So try to find media that works for you.

 

okay, everything's immaculate. just one more thing, wi-fi connection? Wifi tests run okay in the settings, but what about connecting to the shop, internet, news, online play, etc. I must've missed something, but is it possible? I dont wanna try it until confirmed.

 

Great guide it was easy to follow, I've installed everything listed. The problem I'm having is my my back-up iso copy of supper mario galaxy isn't working from the disc channel, unable to read disc. I made three copies, burning at full speed, then 2x speed. I also have a back up of wii play and used wbfs to put it on my flash drive and the screen goes blank. For mario I'm using dvd+r. I just used back up loader and it said error 972. Any solutions?

 

You should be using DVD-R media for best results.

If you try to use DVD+R media try book typing it to DVD-ROM for better compatibility.

 

First thoughts: try a DVD-R instead of a +R. Second, the iso may be corrupt. Try re-creating the iso from your original disk. As for loading stuff off of USB, I haven't tried doing that yet, so I am not much help. Have you tried installing a different cIOS38 13b? I heard a few people had issues with 13b, but I had no problems with it. Worked for all the games I tried. Also, some people were having problems if they left their SD cards in the slot. Again, not a problem I have had, but it could be that. I have had issues with DVD+R disks, but the only times i had problems with DVD-R were when I was burning it at 16x. 4x seems to keep the wii and mii happy.
My 2 cents. Let me know your results.

Can i use this guide to just install preloader 0.29 or do i need to complete the rest of the steps? dont really need the rest of the steps as i am loading games from USB?

Thanks for the guide,

I have got stuck somewhere in the process and I am frightened of briking the Wii.

I have the home brew channel loaded and ad I am on VER 4.0.

I am asking this, Do all the steps in the guide have to be done in order. ( I actually missed out the ios downgrader and the any region changer did not continue due to not have Korean Language support.

I got as far asloading the preloader and selecting the menu settings, somehow the Wii rebooted and now when I goto the preloader on the HBC it starts and then resets the Wii.

Do i have to continue and complete the guide or do I nedd to unistall some features and start again

 

if u read like the 5 posts before yours, we confirmed that DVD-R's are apparently more compatible. larrylje says there are some DVD+Rs that work, but not too sure which ones. Try DVD-Rs, Memorex worked for me at 16x speed.

 

I'm gonna have to buy some more dvd-r's, I snagged a couple from work. Burned with image burn 2x speed and burn process ok, but verifying and checking process error, error, and more errors. I'm gonna try with nero and look for book mode, thanks. Got it with nero at 4x speed, dvd-r, hopefully it was just the speed and the dvd's and maybe image burn. Thanks, jp

 

Sorry, been away from the scene for a year.
I don't understand: Do backup discs not run from the disc channel anymore?

I've still got the simple wiikey 1.9g so I still run everything from a disc and it shows up just as any original disc does. Does the latest firmwares change all of this??

Would be good to have a quick explanation from basics!! I'm a newbie again haha
Thanks so much!

 

This is a softmod guide. Not a guide for Modchips.

 

Yes I know, but I didnt need support for modchips.

I just wanted to know briefly why one would need these steps to launch games from the disc channel. Since they used to run on the disc channel when you place a disc in, why don't they do so now on the latest firmwares?

 

so im having MAJOR issues

i've tried 3 cards:
2GB KingMAX miniSD with adapter
2GB Kingston microSD with adapter
1GB Crucial SD

NONE HAVE WORKED
i've done the renaming on all of them, and with the original names and it wont fuckin work.

with the .ini on the end, i get the message telling me
Hacks for your systemmenu version (v289) were found no

thats all i can read, not sure if its stupid grammar, or if it gets cut off.
i'm on a NTSC wii, with the NTSC file, i have downloaded it 3 times to keep trying to use it and it won't work.

what can i do? PS: the 2GB microSD says SDC on it but not SDHC.
the others say nothing of the sort
