USB Loader GX: Thank you AR GC

Post by **KTH** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 00:40

Good evening everyone. Well here I am again with more issues...for the Wii.

So it's a long story....

On Sunday, I found a pretty interesting video ( External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies. ) that explained how to install an AR GC on Wii, I followed the tutorial up to a step where it says to patch the mIOS (which I didn't manage to do...I think.).

So I installed the cIOS which, big mistake, has now made USB Loader GX and Wiiflow stop working! I tried everything again to make it work...

Pimp my Wii
Removing and installing the IOS...cIOS...mIOS.
IOS58
I upgraded my Wii from 3.2 to 4.1.

Lots and lots of stuff but still nothing...Right now it's mostly USB Loader GX that I want to get working but here's what happens:

Just the USB Loader menu but only with the background O.o

I can't press Home or anything, forced to turn off the Wii by holding it down...

So I'm asking for your help: Thanks for helping me!

Modération — Oops

The first person who makes an inappropriate comment... I'll

don't worry KTH, it's not about you

alright... let's keep it simple:

- check that you have hbc 1.0.8 (press 1 or home (I don't remember which) in hbc, top right). If lower, update hbc, if already 1.0.8...
- do an official update to 4.3 via the net (disable any hypothetical priiloader or starpatch)
- reinstall hbc so it uses ios58. Check with 1 or home (still don't know

)
follow the 4.3 hack tutorial to reinstall everything needed (cios, priiloader etc...)

there you go, your wii is back

meanwhile I'm thinking about your AR story and that crappy tutorial

edit: after watching your video, I don't get what messed things up. Anyway don't touch the cios anymore after redoing the hack (except updating the D2X cios).
Only install the cmios that's just for GC games. but I don't understand why install a cmios if you're only going to use original backups ^^' (mind you, that would only work on the old drive

). Well... probably a bit of code that allows using the AR.
I wonder if there isn't another loader that handles ocarina (cheat) for GC games.
in the end for the AR I don't have much of a solution to offer you since I have neither GC games nor the AR

I'd advise you to do an update to 4.3 and redo your whole hack

seriously, have you done a syscheck to see where your wii stands??

What a bunch of jokers

In the HBC channel, it says:

1.0.8
IOS61 v22.30

Yes but the problem is that my Wii is disconnected from the internet..

Post by **sniper3d** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 14:59

well use ModMii

that way you install in .wad

Post by **KTH** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 15:42

Ok I'll follow your advice.

Post by **KTH** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 21:46

Well, so I did BootMii which put a pack on my SD...
It gave me a Guide in a .txt

I reinstalled the HBC channel but I have a problem from BootMii, it makes a black screen when I launch it in "Launch BootMii" and when I turn my Wii off and back on with the SD inside, the Wii makes a black screen.
But without it it works fine.

What should I do please about BootMii?

Sorry for the double post.

2 problems:
- bootmii launching every time your wii starts. To fix it, rename the bootmii folder on your SD to bootmii_
- bootmii doesn't start;

either you have a bootmii installation problem or your SD has a problem. What SD do you have? size? brand? sometimes formatting with sdformatter v2 (all options on) can fix the problem by relaunching hackmii installer right after and then reinstalling bootmii.

Post by **KTH** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 22:07

It's a micro SD, PNY brand, in a PNY adapter.

---------

So as you told me to do I renamed the folder to bootmii_, now the Wii's light just blinks but there's still the black screen except now the TV detects it (it doesn't say "No Signal").

Also, the tutorial tells me to install boot2.dol. Online people say they have problems with it and say to be careful if you haven't installed the IOS. So I uninstalled the IOS but it was still the same and I also uninstalled boot2 and still the same...

Post by **Oops** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 22:35

something's already wrong. if your console boots fine without the SD and after renaming the bootmii folder your wii still doesn't boot... well that's "space" check carefully whether your folder was really renamed.

Also it's better not to use a microSD with an adapter nor an SDHC (4Go and above), so I'd advise you to get a 2Go SD (7€).

what boot2.dol!!?? from what tutorial?

you no longer have bootmii either in ios or in boot2!!?? and you have a black screen.

did you install priiloader!!?? reset for 5 seconds at startup then in hack settings disable the "black screen at startup" hack

Save and you're done. remember to reinstall bootmii in boot2, it's better (and no problem with it)

Post by **KTH** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 22:43

Because BootMii hasn't been installed yet, I'm launching it from HBC to install it.
The folder is properly renamed. The one at the root.

Well tomorrow I'll go buy an SD then, even though this one has been with me through the whole Wii hack

BootMii's boot2, when you launch HackMii regarding BootMii. It asks if you want to install boot2 and/or the IOS.

ModMii's tutorial:

2) CREATING THE NAND BACKUP
==============================

When you're on HBC, launch BootMii by pressing "HOME" and clicking on "Launch BootMii".
Press the Power button 3 times to go to the options, and press the Reset button. [You can use a gamecube controller to move around]

Press reset to choose the first option and follow the on-screen instructions to back up your Nand. [Bad blocks are not a problem.]

Save the Bootmii folder, the NAND.bin and keys.bin files otherwise they'll be overwritten (or rename them). They're needed in case of great necessity, so save them.
Go back to the Homebrew Channel.

Note: If Bootmii is installed as boot2, it will launch as long as the "BootMii" folder is present at the root of the SD.

try just deleting the bootmii folder

Post by **KTH** » Tue 6 Sep 2011 23:13

I think I'm going to format my Wii instead and reinstall everything from A to Z...

--------

Well I formatted it and it's still the same problem. I read the tutorial a bit more closely and it says:

2) CREATING THE NAND BACKUP
==============================

When you're on HBC, launch BootMii by pressing "HOME" and clicking on "Launch BootMii".
Press the Power button 3 times to go to the options, and press the Reset button. [You can use a gamecube controller to move around]

Press reset to choose the first option and follow the on-screen instructions to back up your Nand. [Bad blocks are not a problem.]

Go back to the Homebrew Channel.

Note: If Bootmii is installed as boot2, it will launch as long as the "BootMii" folder is present at the root of the SD.

I did press the button 3 times but nothing...

aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh

but what a habit people have of formatting their wii. So bottom line: you no longer have hbc and you've lost all your game saves. All you have left to do is reinstall hbc with the letterbomb exploit. and mourn your saves. small hope if you have a nand backup. the most recent one!!??
But wait until you have an SD to do all that.

you didn't answer me: did you install priiloader? I don't think that's the reason for the problem, but still... answer

Post by **KTH** » Wed 7 Sep 2011 14:39

Well, I have my saves on my SD

And I reinstalled HBC. And no, I haven't installed priiloader because I'm following ModMii's tutorial steps in order.

-----------

I managed to launch Bootmii! It was a missing folder that ModMii didn't put, the "wiiload" one.

Now it's backing up the NAND. And another little issue with the next step...

3) INSTALLING THE PATCHED IOS236
=============================

Start the Homebrew Channel.

VERY IMPORTANT!
In the Homebrew channel, if you don't have an active internet connection, you'll see a blinking icon in the bottom right corner of the screen indicating its inability to initialize the network. You must wait for the icon to stop blinking or let it blink for 30-60 seconds before relaunching it, at the risk of getting errors. If you encounter this error without risk, turn off the Wii and repeat this step from the beginning. To increase your chances of success, add an active internet connection in the Wii settings, but be sure to answer "No" when asked to do an update.

uh could you be more precise!!??

Post by **KTH** » Wed 7 Sep 2011 16:35

It asks for an internet connection on the Wii to install the IOS.

Post by **Oops** » Wed 7 Sep 2011 17:00

I think you can dl cios 236 with modmii then install its wad with wad manager 1.8 (a German mod) which uses the same exploit as hbc to do its job. same for all the cios

Well after desperately trying to fix my Wii these last 3 days, the results are still the same...

ModMii did install the IOS and everything for me but SSBB still refuses to work properly. Even, I changed the ISO and got a new one but the result is still the same:

At the level selection, the game freezes. But the game works for Classic mode for example.
Also:

- ULoader: When it loads the game to launch it, I can see "Codes: Too many codes", well already it wouldn't be good if it didn't run the codes and also it doesn't run them...

- USB Loader: The game does the same as ULoader except that here, when I go into "Setting" of the ISO, the Wii does a code dump. (Black page and white text).

After trying several times, I also removed the "title" folder in private/wii but still nothing..

What should I do please?

Post by **Oops** » Sun 11 Sep 2011 21:09

Is it only SSBB that's broken?
My kids played it this afternoon actually. Works perfectly with the latest wiiflow, default settings.
For me you have a crappy iso

What is the size of your iso? there are 2 versions. one at 7Go and another at 4Go without the videos.

Post by **KTH** » Sun 11 Sep 2011 21:23

The ISO weighs 7 Go.

Post by **KTH** » Thu 15 Sep 2011 22:24

Problem solved.

Post by **Oops** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 06:03

so... when a problem is solved:
- you edit your first message to put [solved] at the end of the title.
and!!!!
- you explain to your buddies (us, that is ^^) how you solved the problem
