It seems whatever I do can't get the first pop-up to install HBC.
My SD card rootdirectory looks like the picture exactly. When I put my SD card in the Wii it reckognizes the SD card but doesnt see any files (FAT32) and subsequently doesnt prompt me for installation.

I am on 4.1E . Please gimme a hand here guys! Could this because of the bannerbomb versions ? I tried them all!

Does anyone know of a site that has a guide for softmodding Korean Wiis using bannerbomb? I have been googling for days but so far I found only one guide and it says to use a modchip and a Mario Kart disc.
Like I said, I'd like to use only bannerbomb to mod it.

Did you install it into the correct directory structure 'cos I had that same problem as I unziped bannerbomb with winzip which doesn't unpack it correctly. I had to use 7-zip to get it right in the end.

The bannerbomb content.bin file needs to be in the following directory structure:

private\wii\title\aktn\content.bin

I get tons of PM's and usually ignore them unless I know the person that sent it. If you have an issue ask it in this thread or start a new thread.

As for your issue I have no idea why you can't play regular games. The softmod should not effect that.

@Lightduty

Do the steps that I explained in my previous reply to your post. If you do this then you should be able to launch the disc from the disc channel.

As for updating to 4.1 did I say to update to 4.1 with the Wii Sports Resort disc? No I said update the system like you normally would. I don't think Wii Sports Resort updates the Wii Menu firmware. It just installs a few IOS files.

Ok, I will try the system update, I thought they would be the same update. I can as right now,play all my backups and new games like resort that I wil be trying to make a backup of that too. I will do the system update from system menu and then Then run IOS60Patched.wad and IOS Downgrader but when I run the downgrader, will I be asked to choose what to downgrade to? Then I will install Preloader .29, cIOSCorp, CIOS60BF.wad then reinstall Preloader .29 again. Is this right? Sorry for being the dummy. :)

Hey Larry, Sorry to bug ya again but this 60 yo brain doesn't work like you young guns. Here is where I am. I try to update from 3.4u to 4.1U via wifi nintendo site and end up with error 32017. It says I am now on version 4.1U but shop channel says I need to update before I can use it. I try several times to reupdate and I get same 32017 error. Can you suggest in detail as to what my next step should be. Thanks again for ya young brains. :)

You could try booktyping the DVD+R media to DVD-ROM. Do a search on how to booktype media when you burn.

But I would recommend using quality DVD-R media for best compatibility with the loaders.

@ louis71

i haven't found any other games that need this done but i love neogamm r6 it does everything.

no need for usb loaders or anything

on the black and green screen you can scroll down once and press right and it will give you the option to load form usb and even SD cards.

Any other questions just ask.

The bannerbomb content.bin file needs to be in the following directory structure:

private\wii\title\aktn\content.bin
It seems my private folder was messed up with saved files.

It works now. Case closed . THX !

Yes, this guide can work for you. Your serial doesnt require any additional work.
Make sure you fix your WiFi connection first, it is easier to use if u ask me during the softmod installation.

ALSO make sure you update your firmware to 4.1E (regular wii nintendo update) using your wifi connection also. Keep 24connect OFF.

WiiConnect24 doesn't have to be off. It doesn't matter.

Hi all,

My Wii was originally a 3.4U model. I added Homebrew Channel with Twilight hack and then used the Emporer of Canada tutorial to downgrade to 3.2U and install Gamma Loader 0.3. I have quite a few backups that play just fine.

However, I recently came across a couple giving me the Error 002 notice. I would like to get the most current loader and files needed to make current backups work. What exactly should I do considering I have HBC and have downgraded to 3.2U already.

Also, my unit is LU6414... I am seeing warning about not being able to downgrade LU64+ units. Should I be cautious with what I do/do not use considering this?

Thanks in advance,
Charles

Hi I have a 4.1u lu62 wii and I'm just wondering if I follow this guide what are the chances of me bricking my wii. From what I have read it seems like the chances are low but I just want a little reassurance that everything will go smoothly. Thanks

New guy here. First, I have to say, hands down, this is the best thread/discussion on the basics vs. some other sites in which you would think would be better aka gbatemp wiihacks etc.

Any way, here's a quick info on my wii. It was bought 2 summers ago and it's currently on 3.2U. About 6 months ago, I soft-modded it and I must say back then it was a bit of trial and error, but I got it to work with HBC 1.0, Gamma BU Launcher CHL (never got the menu w/in the BU launcher to work, but since haven't needed it), and the cIOS version (I think) is cIOS36 rev 7, there's also a IOS36-64-v1042.wad in my wad folder and not sure if it's installed or not and it may have been copied there recently.

Our boys have enjoyed playing about 8 BU's flawlessly and we have just about as many original titles that work great too in the normal Disc CHL. Now about 2 months ago I tried a BU (I use Verbatim DVD-R and IMG burn at 3X) of My Sims Racing but it never worked (stuck on green screen or error002). I tried reading a solution for it but came up empty. I'm just giving a background here not asking game questions. Then recently the same thing happened with Wii Sports Resort.

So here I am and I'm just asking for some advice. I figure I have two options that I'm willing to do.

1. Just stop the BU stuff all-together and buy WSR original title and every new title thereafter. I have no problem doing this, but I want to ensure that our current BU's still work using our BU chl, what our boys are used to using. I posted other places about doing this and I don't seem to get a straight answer. Honestly I'm a bit concerned installing preloader. Essentially I figure I need some patch protector always running if I insert new original titles.

2. Following this guide seems simple, except for your statement in the OP tut "IF YOUR WII IS 4.0 OR BELOW AND ALREADY SOFTMODED (with cIOS36_rev8 or higher and homebrew channel) ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS UPDATE TO 4.1 USING THE NINTENDO SERVERS (how you normally would update). THEN INSTALL THE IOS60PATCHED.WAD. IF YOU WANT THE TRUCHA BUG FIXED THEN RUN IOS DOWNGRADER UNDER THE EXTRA STEPS SECTION!"

I think I'm cIOS36_rev7, so like a few others I would just prefer to back completely out and then follow your guide?

Any suggestions/help much appreciated. I'm a little further on in life and have some patience :)

Cheers,
Lex

First off IOS60Patch does not say to install it if you want trucha bug exploit fixed. Also the IOS Downgrader is not under the Extra Steps section anymore (this was changed a few weeks ago). I suggest refreshing the page and read the guide again.

As for updating follow these steps in the order I give below.

STEP 1 follow the cIOS38_rev14: section

STEP 2 Uninstall the Backup Launcher (you can do this from data management/channels in the Wii settings menu).

STEP 3 Update to latest 4.1 firmware using the normal update method.

STEP 4 Follow the IOS DOWNGRADER: section.

STEP 5 Follow the IOS60Patched and NeoGamma R6: section.

You are now updated with latest firmware and cIOS. Use Neogamma to play your backup games.

As for Wii Sports Resort look through the threads in the Wii section. There are multiple threads already started with answers on how to get this game to work.

I would also suggest installing Bootmii and Preloader at this time for brick protection (do a Google search on these applications to find out what they are and how to install and use).

Thanks for the quick reply Larry. I just came here last night so I should have a current view of your OP tut.

I will try your procedure. First just a view questions.

1. I'm on HBC ver. 1.0, I would like to update it but it fails via WiFi (WiFi is correctly connected as the wife plays Mario Kart a lot on the WEB). So do I need 1.0.3? I would like the latest HBC if possible.

2. So based on your recommendation on question 1 above, skip or follow Downgrade IOS35 section?

3. Is NeoGamma a BU CHL or can I set it up that way? I would rather not have a 7 and 9 year old open HBC to run a BU.

4. Would you recommend NeoGamma R7 over R6, especially relating to Wii Sports Resort.

5. You said to install BootMii and Preloader which of course means both right? Can you expound as to why both?

Thanks again,
Lex

1) After you follow the above steps you can uninstall the HBC by using data management/channels under Wii settings. Then follow the HBC 1.0.3 Install: section of the guide. DO THIS LAST! (while installing HBC you might as well install Bootmii also since the HBC and Bootmii is installed using the Hackmii installer).

2) Did I say to do the Downgrade IOS35: section?

3) NeoGamma installs as a channel (no need to boot it from HBC).

4) If I recommend R7 over R6 don't you think R7 would be included instead of R6?

5) If you can only install Bootmii as an IOS then I would recommend using Preloader. If you can install it as Boot2 you really don't need Preloader. I just use both myself.
