Good evening.

I can't manage to install this new Hack.
I tried the hack remover from 0.28 but it doesn't work.
I get a lovely error 106.

Help, how do I replace my old Hack.ini with this one?
Thanks in advance.

how come you don't have preloader 0.29, reinstall it and then put my hack.ini at the root of your sd card.
if you don't want it put back the hack.ini you had before. probably this one: original hack.ini

No I must have expressed myself badly.
I do have preloader 0.29 with the Hack.ini provided in the archive.
So I only have three options.

In the previous version (0.28) there were additional tools.
a program that let you create your own Hack.ini and a .dol called Hack remover which normally let you remove an old Hack.ini so you could then install another one.

Apparently this famous tool (Hack remover) isn't compatible with the new version 0.29.
Indeed when I use it, I get an error like "failed to remove - code 106"

That's why I'm asking you all for help tonight.
How do I install this new Hack.ini?
Thanks

well you turn on your wii on the preloader and you set disable on all your hacks
then on your PC, at the root of your sd you have your hack.ini, make a backup of it
then you download mine and paste it at the root of your sd card, in other words you replace it with mine
you put your sd in your console, you boot on the preloader and you go into system hack and you enable the scripts you're interested in and that's actually where it gives you error -106??
I don't know, it doesn't do that for me

I followed your procedure but it doesn't work
I disabled all the hacks, rebooted the wii.
I overwrote my old Hack.ini on my SD with the new one.
Rebooted the wii on the preloader and unfortunately I don't have access to the new options.
I'm stuck with my three poor choices.

Good idea Hilo but it still doesn't work

I disabled all the hacks, rebooted the wii.
I overwrote my old Hack.ini on my SD with the new one.
Rebooted the wii, reinstalled preloader 0.29 and still my three choices.

You'll just need to shorten the sentences a bit to your
own liking, whichever way you'll understand best, because it's surely
too long to display correctly in the preloader

I'm in the same situation as you john dereck, I did the same steps and I'm still stuck with my old hack.ini. Except that my old hack.ini had more than your 3 options but was missing the saves hack.
Yet, the first time I installed preloader, the hack.ini I had also only had 3 options and I was able to add other options without any trouble. But now it won't. :cry: :cry:

Good evening.

In a way I'm glad to see I'm not the only one struggling with this Hack.ini.
I did some research on the web and it seems the only real solution is to fully downgrade the console.
that seems crazy :shock:

The other question left hanging is knowing why I only have 3 options available while others have more.
It seems to me though that we all used the Hack provided in the preloader 0.29 archive.

If any of you has a bright idea, I think it would help a lot of people.
Thank you all

john dereck, I just sent you a pm with a hack.ini, tell me if it works. (by pm because I think this only concerns you, this hack.ini has fewer features than the one in the post)

I did some research on the web and it seems the only real solution is to fully downgrade the console.
that seems crazy :shock: <-- totally crazy even. I don't think I'll do it just for the saves option.

hi so let me explain, when I installed this hack.ini (I already had the preloader)
I installed the cios pack for v4, i.e. the 22 wads, then the preloader following the error it caused, then my hack.ini, I didn't have any issue

Baordeur, so I need to reinstall cIOSCorp v2fix (the latest one right?) then reinstall preloader with the full power hack.ini.

No brick risk other than that of a simple install?

I'm waiting for your go-ahead to test.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm on 4.0 Waninkoko + Cios pack 2 + Preloader 0.29.
I had never installed the Preloader before, so at first I installed the ini file from the Preloader archive.
For me, the file (in english) provided here works very well. :D

Be careful though with the Cios pack fix. You will get a brick if you install it after Preloader 0.29

Hello

Apparently there won't be a solution until someone rewrites the Hacks.ini remover.

For English speakers you can read this:
https://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=148467&hl=hacks

For the others here's a little summary in French.
When you use the Hack remover from version 0.28 while you've moved to 0.29 you get this message:

Deleting /shared2/hacks.ini ... failed: -106
Deleting /shared2/hacks_s.ini ... failed: -106

Apparently the directory has changed since now the file would be located in /title/00000001/00000002/data

So, I hope someone will take the time to make this change in the program.

Thanks john dereck for sharing your research with us, and everyone else for your replies.

Well I think I'll wait for the remover, I'm only missing the save hack, I'm not going to redo everything just for that.

do what I told you:
if you're on v4 and you have the preloader installed,
reinstall this ciospack https://www.megaupload.com/?d=4H57IWME
then reinstall the preloader, (by doing power then reset then homebrew channel, in the homebrew channel choose the preloader and install it)
then now the hack.ini should work

Alright, I just downloaded your ciospack and hacks.ini. I'll test it tonight and keep you posted.

I solved my problem, and quite simply, by taking baordeur's hacks.ini and reinstalling preloader.

What I did the first time was copy/paste the hacks.ini here onto the one on my SD, but I think I messed something up during the save. Maybe it's because I did this operation on Linux and I didn't check what format I was saving in

Anyway, all that's left for me is to test this version.

Thanks baordeur for your help and good luck john dereck.


edit: "You cannot access this channel" that's the message I get when launching an NTSC-U channel on my PAL. So I confirm that the Region Free SD hack doesn't work.

Nothing to do with the hacks.ini but related to channels on SD, I just noticed, which seems logical in hindsight, that you need to leave as many free blocks on the Wii as the size of the WiiWare game located on the SD. So you need to leave at least 320 blocks on the Wii to be able to launch the biggest WW games on SD.
