[OUTDATED] Fixed Ret - 1029 error in Wad Manager

Post by kyno »

The -1029 error can sometimes occur and prevent installation. Here's how to fix it.


1st Solution - Use Yet Another Wad Manager to install your .wad files


Oh yes, quite simply.. Because since the r21 , it fixes the error automatically.

2nd Solution - Patch your .wad file to fix the error

/!\ You're about to modify a Wad file, you are responsible for any modification that could cause your Wii to brick.

This way, you'll be able to install your .wad with any wad installer. For this, you need:

- A Hexadecimal editor, for my tuto I'll use Translhextion , which is simple ;).
- Software letting you pack/unpack a wad file, I use WadMii from the pack Wii.cs Tool.
Pack Fix Error Ret-1029.rar
Alright, now that we have everything we need, let's get started :D.

1. Download the pack and unzip it into an easily accessible folder ( Example: the desktop ;). Then place the .wad with the Ret - 1029 error in it, so as not to get too confused.
2. Launch WadMii, check the Unpack box, then next to the 2 dots after "File", go find your Corrupted Wad. Then click Unpack. Don't close the program for practical reasons ;).

A new folder with the name of your .wad appears with several files, notably the file we need for the next step: a file ending in .tik.

3. Open it with your Hexadecimal Editor = Translhextion -> File -> Open, go find your .tik file and click Open. You'll come across 3 columns, a black one on the left, in the middle red & blue and on the right again black, but wider. We won't worry about the left column. Let's start by spotting a "<" ( without the quotation marks ) in the right column. Once found, click on it. You'll select at the same time a "3C" ( without the quotation marks ) in the middle column, or something else. Check at the bottom of the application that you're indeed at an Offset XXX=0x1F1 ( XXX being a number like 497 , 354 , etc.. ) and that the Bits aren't equal to 00000000.

4. Once you've checked everything, click on the corresponding number in the left column and enter 00 ( zero, zero ). the "<" turns into a dot, and the Bits = 00000000. Do File -> Save and close the program.

5. Back to WadMii, this time check Pack, and click Pack, click Yes & OK. There you go, your .wad is ready to be installed with any Wad installer :D

Getting -1029 error? Fix your WAD! Byte 0x1F1 of the ticket should be 0x00 (or 0x01 if using the Korean common key)
The problem comes from the wads 8-)

some people would get the -1029 error when installing certain .wad. it would come from the .wad, so to fix this error ==> go into the ticket file and edit it in hexa ;).

Hello,
I'm currently trying to install Mplayer, but it gives me this -1029 error.
And I didn't really understand how to edit the hexadecimal of the .wad file

Can you tell me how I should proceed?
Thanks

Thank you very much for this answer!
I chose IOS36 and it did indeed work ;)
But I didn't understand why ^^. Actually I just got my wii, and I'm trying to understand this IOS and cIOS business, but I admit I don't understand much of it! lol
Because here for example, I don't see why we choose IOS36, when there's an IOS70, etc
What do the IOS numbers correspond to? Is it based on the most recent ones?
Yesterday, I installed cIOSX rev 19 because, after seeing it was the most recent, I told myself it could only improve things^^. I think I was on cIOS38 rev 14, but I'm not really sure what that corresponds to.
Anyway so I'm taking advantage of this post to ask these questions, because I don't really know where to ask them :)

There you go, thanks a lot for your help :)

Automatically translated from French.

an IOS is official, a cIOS is a modified IOS that allows running unsigned (unofficial) files called homebrews and/or modifying the nand (the wii's memory). Each IOS has a well-defined function without wanting to go into the details. From memory only the IOS linked to the system menu is replaced by another one. IOS30 for system menu 3.2, IOS60 for 4.0 and 4.1 and IOS70 for 4.2.

As a general rule when you hack the wii, you start by downgrading, meaning restoring the exploits of ios15 then 36 in order to install cIOS.

cIOS rev14 is a modified IOS based on ios36 that allows running homebrews as well as modifying the nand.
rev19 increases performance and compatibility for homebrews but at the same time becomes less capable of modifying the nand. For this reason ios36 with the restored exploits is perfect for this kind of task.

hoping to have cleared up your ideas more than having confused them. :D

Thanks for your answer which clears things up a lot for me :)

So if I understood correctly, I had to use IOS36 to install my .wad because it was the modified IOS, and on which there's an exploit to install homebrews (more or less ^^)
But why do we need to install cIOS 222 v4 to crack the wii?? What role does it play?

And one last question, what exactly are any-title and dop-IOS for? (I followed this tuto: https://blog.apyka.com/index.php/consol ... icielle-4/ )

Thanks for everything

the cios 249, 250, 202, 222, 223, 224 are different and complementary. essential for one and the other (homebrews). and some can run certain games others can't.

you must delete the indicated ios (they are stubs/empty) with any titles deleter in order to reinstall them.

But barman.. you're so annoying xD. First, I don't allow you to say my tuto is bogus, even if it were true.. would you doubt waninkoko's word? :o :o :o .

& second: IOS are not simple .wad, they are not simple channels made by amateurs of the kind, it's much more complex;;; if I could I'd want to blame you, for a long time now...
