Yeah, it was a misleading thread title - Wii modchip. I'll rename it.

You can now run "backups" on the Wii without installing a modchip.

OLD NEWS DOGFUCKER! This beta was leaked the other week, and as such waninoko has scrapped the project, it doesn't work too well either and i highly doubt someone like you could get it working lol. There is another softmod out if you look hard enough that actually works with a good lot of games but atm is quite buggy.

trust me

pretty cool

thanks Vamps

I'm gonna say Gimpy got PWNED.

Out of curiosity, since I don't own a Wii. Nintendo stated they were going to have there version of LIVE, similar to Xbox live. Were you can download games from the past, like the old Mario games, and Zelda and what not, I've never heard of any being released, Have they?

Also how is the live experience compared to Xbox Live?

Posted by olskoolfife on 10-08-2008 09:50 AM:

having a wee search about says it's still in early development.

it's the first I heard of this softmod news anyway.

probably wait a bit myself until they have more games working.

nice one Yosh


Posted by yoshy on 10-08-2008 09:59 AM:

I haven't done it myself as yet as i still haven't got off my arse for ds card and reader........but this gives me reason to.

one question I need to find out is, I think you need to add a region free app for us pals, although I don't know

more research..............

:: Whats the latest/best out there for my daughters ds?

r4?
m3real or whatever?

any advice?

:: olskoole............you play whatever games you have...........err backed up

it doesn't come with games

homebrew has games................all the old ones

use dvd-r for the disk.............and imgeburn
x2 speed for best results

Posted by olskoolfife on 10-08-2008 04:21 PM:

great deals on the r4 these days with a 4gb card.
i got the r4 myself
some games need to patched for the r4 but its simple enough.


http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=94755


4gb card will hold a shit load of games.
I have a 2gb and i think there is just over 40 on it at the moment.

obviuosly depends on the size of the file as some games are over the 100mb

go on treat yersel






I was refering to the compatibility list Yoshi with the wii backup loader.
There isn't that many backups that work and the ones that do have a lot of glitches so that is the reason i am waiting until a more stable one appears.
I'll just use me old xbox for the old stuff.
I've still got a modded gamecube aswell.

lol seriously yoshy, you have no clue.

Lolobo you got pm, it's not wanikokos backup loader as that only works for a couple of games if at all.

Yoshy, if you beg me, i might send you the link to download


Posted by Neversoft on 10-09-2008 07:34 PM:

Time for a Neversoft FACT-O-RAMA!!

Waninkoko did abandon the project after the leak but he's since suggested he'll continue to work on it but another coder has incorporated the loader into GCOS so you can also patch videomodes etc, hence the increased compatability. However the games only run at 3x speed so video tends to stutter and some games don't work at all yet. You also need to re-dump the games in a decrypted form but that *may* be only temporary until the next release.

GBATemp has all the lowdown on it, including a list of working games. I think you can also get the loader, cIOS and DVD library from there (which is everything you need if you already have the HBC installed).

Now stop fighting you faggots and just ask me next time


Posted by olskoolfife on 10-10-2008 04:41 PM:

here is a compatibilty list for wiigator which is going to be updated regularly.

looks pretty good actually.

might be buying myself zelda now



http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/Backup_Launcher


Posted by Neversoft on 10-10-2008 05:38 PM:

I'd still recommend you just fucking hardware mod it... If you don't know what you're doing, pay somebody that does. Or buy a pre-soldered drive and shove that in and sell your old one on eGay to some cunt who's already fried their drive and needs another.


Posted by olskoolfife on 10-10-2008 08:42 PM:

Proper modding is the way to go your right Neversoft.It would save all the fucking about.
I don't know anyone in the Edinburgh area to get it done but surely there must be someone or preferebly some shop.
I don't fancy sending it away to get done to be honest.
The time i pay postage and all that probably cost me about £80 or something.


Posted by Neversoft on 10-11-2008 12:26 AM:

£80 is the going rate around here anyway, even if you walk into the shop and hand the Wii over the counter... Some Wii's can be a twat to mod though, especially the ones with pins cut or 10 litres of epoxy poured onto the chips.

Why not check out your local pikey car boot sales? Quite often there will be some dodgy cunt selling copies and chipping consoles... Although if you buy any copies from those work-shy fucks I'll hunt you down and kill you


Posted by antihero on 10-11-2008 01:30 AM:

or if your only a half retard buy a Wii clip with your flavour of chip attached. Only just over £40 and as as long your intelligent enough to undo a dozen or so screws the bastard clips in!

How can I protect my wii from this happening?

Posted by Neversoft on 10-12-2008 06:10 PM:

Simple:

1. Do NOT install any software updates from a disk from another region.
2. Do NOT install custom channels other than the homebrew channel. Launch all other homebrew via that.
3. Keep an eye on the various Wii forums and let somebody else experiment on their Wii before you install new apps/hacks on yours


Posted by yoshy on 10-13-2008 05:58 AM:

Cheers NS

I ordered the d2pro solderless and the m3 real bundle, should get them tomorrow.

On a side note, what's this gecko and will I need one?

G6&M3DS-R-PDADS_V1

Am I missing anything and what do I do from here?

Posted by Neversoft on 10-15-2008 12:09 PM:

ok, here we go...

1. The USBGecko for the Wii is a doohickey that plugs into the GC memory card slot (I think, I don't have one) and allows you to debug the Wii via a USB cable and a PC; take screenshots, search for Action Replay-style cheats etc... You don't need one unless you intend on doing some serious tinkering under the hood.

2. You basically extract the M3 firmware and dump the SYSTEM folder on your MSD card, then you create an NDS folder and shove your roms up that... Although I'd recommend this unofficial triple-boot firmware for the M3 instead, it uses the much prettier Sakura firmware (the sister card of the M3) - http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=90978

Dunno what FAT32lib is but I guess NDSMovie is for creating Moonshell .dpg files for movie playback on the DS.


Posted by yoshy on 10-15-2008 12:47 PM:

NS, I downloaded that 3 boot thingy

I put the 4gb Kingston into the usb, I then removed the 4gb and placed it into the m3

I then placed it into the ds and presto

now how do i go from here, as in making a folder for nds files and so forth

and how do I explain to my 6year old how to read Chinese and navigate the thing

lmao

I hope you are still lurking

I cant even navigate the thing...........fuck me NS............(not literally)

A brief run-down of what i just put on my ds would be nice..........lol

on a side note

how do i get to the root of my card for the homebrew app?

I need to get to root to dump files

:: i will let myself sleep on it

thanks in advance oh great wonder

Posted by yoshy on 10-16-2008 09:34 AM:

ok, I got rid of saduka or whatever it was and put m3real v35 I think.........anyway

it works

I have another problem now, I have used the usb and 4gb to do all this via removable disk (j)

so its picking up the usb but not the 4gb?

now when i put in the usb...it says to insert disk

how do I flush or what do I have to do to get the usb+4gb to be acknowledged by my pc

I have rebooted numerous times to no avail.

Any tips ?

I wonder if the 4gb has shit itself after 2 days?

I doubt it

I am leaning towards my pc but any suggestions are welcome

Posted by yoshy on 10-17-2008 10:50 AM:

I love reading my drunk posts........

I contacted supplier and agree that its the usb reader

new one is on the way

I opened the original one and stretched the pressure plate that locks the 4gb into the slot to be read.

job done.

anyone need a reader?

too cool

and now my daughter has over 200 games to please her.

Thanks NS

one question though, when I turn on the ds with the m3 in, is it normal for me to have to keep going to the mycard/folder to play games?


I think its memory thats why, wont hurt asking

and does the m3 have its own memory so i can wipe the 4gb? as in the system folder for the m3

or that's not possible?

Posted by Neversoft on 10-17-2008 08:12 PM:

No, the M3 ALWAYS boots from the card so leave the system folder there. I'm not sure about the M3 software though cos the triple-boot Sakura works fine in English for me and boots to the NDS folder (well, it boots to a list of recently used roms but the main list is just a click away).

Check the options on the M3 software, it might have an option to default to your main games list... I'm not sure though.

I'd check for you but my DS is sat on my desk at work at the moment


Posted by ZootedLooter on 12-31-2008 05:41 PM:

yep....the looter got a wii for the kids....so i am doing some prelimimnary research for modding it and want an update frome the aussie and anyone else that might have some info...

all this shit you and ns are talking about seems alittle foriegn to me so i dont think i want to go that route(we all know whats gonna happen)...if i get it modded at a dodgy shop will this eliminate all the side tinkering?

A friend and myself did the 'Twilight Princess Hack' to my sisters Wii yesterday. I have already gotten her well over 15 (maybe 20) games.

i figure im gonna give it to a shady shop to mod it for me ...i got a few ideas which ones in the neighborhood might do it....will this affect the twilight hack if i go through with it first?

Posted by yoshy on 01-09-2009 03:43 AM:

nah, the twilight hack only uses the actual game and the use of the sd card slot

Check the model # of your wii for the correct chip.....I went solderless and did it myself.....a piece of piss it was.

They have started shipping out a newer wii which at this present time but wont be for long, cant be modded via the chip


Flatmii is the new kid on the block

You do not need the Internet to do it, it's really simple. It should take you 5 minutes, just do it yourself. I can give you an expansive list of programs for the SD card if you want. PM me.

Put games on your SD card? As far as I know you can only play Emulators and Virtual Console games from the SD. You do not need the Internet for anything. You did the hack already, that should have been my first question...

The Homebrew Browser requires an internet connection ZL. As for the rest of it, put a WAD installer in your apps folder so you can install Wii Shop rips. I wouldn't advise installing any homebrew WAD files though cos if they didn't build the WAD correctly your Wii is toast

Emulators go in the Apps folder and the roms wherever the emu tells you to put em.

Finally, unless your Wii is chipped have a look on GBATemp.net for some decent backup loader software (I think WiiGator is the latest but my Wii is chipped so I dunno... http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=108959 and http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=114247) the latest loaders don't require the ISO to be patched/decrypted but I *think* they still run the disks slower than a normal modchip so you'll get longer load times and some video/audio may fuck up.

Nevermind, wires crossed browser/channel blah

As for the wad, install the wiigator channel. Nice and safe and makes it slightly handier to start games.

this is the google link ive been searching all day...lots of the same problems...but i cant find a solution

The Homebrew channel is for launching homebrew you have in the SD\Apps folder. The Homebrew Browser is for downloading apps to that folder if you're too shit to do it yourself

Sometimes people convert software intended for the Homebrew Channel into WAD files so you can install the software as a channel itself, this is normally a terrible idea cos it's updated often and *can* brick your Wii - although I can see the appeal of a WiiGator channel for quickly launching backups.

Think of a WAD file as an installer file for channels. Wiiware is released as WAD files for example (as well as the aforementioned "custom" channels). Sounds like somebody has wrapped the WiiGator homebrew program into a WAD file as well... Use that bitch at your own discretion

P.S. You're right, if you already have the Homebrew Channel installed you don't need Zelda any more.

Posted by Avenue_1 on 01-11-2009 09:36 PM:

Apparently 3.3u is similar to 3.4, so it looks like you'll have to downgrade. It's simple enough to do, but you'll have to hook ur wii up to the internet.

Give me a min and i'll dig out the tut i used to downgrade

Edit:: Here ya go

Get this first so we are on the same level

http://www.filefactory.com/file/eca...i_Fix_Tools_zip

Step 1:
Skip this step...

Step 2:
Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "WAD Manager".

Step 3:
Press "A" on the Wii Remote once.
The Wii should detect a SD Card.
Press "A" again to see a list of WADs on the SD Card.
Use the "D-Pad" to select "IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad".
Press "+" to install the WAD.
Once installed, press the "Home" button, to restart you Wii.

Step 4:
Using "The Homebrew Channel", open “Custom Manager".
Using the same method as in "Step 3", install the "cIOS_Fix.wad".
Once installed, press the "Home" button, to restart you Wii.

Note:
If that fails to install, just use “WAD Manager” to install it like in the youtube video.

Step 5:
Using the ‘Homebrew Channel’, open ‘IOS Downgrader’. Just follow the instructions on the screen and wait until it finishes installing the necessary IOSs.

STEP 6:
Using "The Homebrew Channel", open "Install Shop IOS51".
Use the "D-Pad" to select "Yes", and install "IOS51", by pressing "A".
Use the "D-Pad" to select "Yes", and install the IOS Patch, by pressing "A".
Use the "D-Pad" to select "No", and DO NOT install the "Wii Shop Channel".

Step 7:
Using the ‘Homebrew Channel’, open ‘WAD Manager ’. Install ‘WAD MANAGER 1.3’.

Step 8:
The Wii is now able to install WADs and Homebrew Apps should work properly now.

Optional Step:
If you use “WiiGator” or the “Backup Loader”, using the Homebrew Channel, install ‘cIOS Installer’. This updates the ‘cIOS_Fix’ that was previously installed.

Only use 3.3. And install Wiigator Gamma 0.3 and the Homebrew Channel of course. From the Homebrew Channel you can access your SNES/NES/MAME/Genesis/etc Emulators (as well as your WAD loader and many other things: Movie player, and all that fun stuff). There is nothing wrong with loading WADS if you have installed everything correctly. I hope that you downloaded an up-to-date pack.

Plus, when burning game you can use DVD+/-R. The only difference when burning is you to have to change the booktype for DVD+R. Simple, simple.

Edit: Wiigator is preferred. Like I have said before, it has played any/every game that I have thrown at it.

Wiigator won't load games unless you install the custom cios m8 and the custom cios won't install if you have a recent firmware. Then you'll know you have to downgrade it.

I've already provided him with a link to a downgrader, I guess he just isn't interested.

  1. Want DVD Playback..... http://wiibrew.org/wiki/DVDX (try MPlayer CE or Geexbox)
  2. Want to play avi files from a samba share..... They all support network shares but I don't know the specifics
  3. Want to know what blank media you use..... DVD-R are best. Get a decent brand and if possible, one with the Ritek G05 dye.
  4. Want to know when I can play game releases from USB..... USB loader now out. It requires cIOS rev9 from Waninkoko, the launcher program and a PC app to format your external drive to it's own proprietary format and scrub/copy ISOs to the drive


Any direction will be deeply appreciated.

It's confusing!

Want to play back-ups from USB


Posted by Objectivist Seal Hunter on 04-02-2009 07:41 PM:

I've used TDK/Memorex (DVD-R/+R) and they work great. If you choose to use +R, just make sure to change the booktype.
