Obviously LetterBomb is for a 4.3 Wii but what was your Wii version before and how old is your Wii because NeoGamma can only be used to play burnt and original discs?

Nintendo fitted different DVD players in the latter Wii's to stop people playing burnt discs. Add sysCheck v2.1.0 Beta 11 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/syscheck-v2-1-0-beta-11-1918/) to your SD card and run it from HBC and check if it says The drive supports DVDs near the top. You could post the sysCheck report saying which IOS's you are using.

[wernley]

Or use the guide I posted put all cios on wii and if it is a wii that can't play back up discs wii is softmodded to use hard drive or USB stick easy ;-)

[Specialkey]

My wii was 4.3 e I only used letterbomb to install homebrew channels and nothing else,I think that is the problem.
Can I run modmii even if I have installed homebrewchannel with letterbomb already?
Thanks a lot.

Anyone can help?

[happy_highlander]

Anyone can help?

Yes I can help you are the second person in a week that has managed to stub out your cios 249 which is the cios that neogamma and most other loaders use to run. Take that syscheck csv that you have just posted and download modmii from the dk downloads section. Load modmii into the pc and run it. Let it update and follow the instructions, when you get to the main menu select the update softmod section (or similar to that) and put the csv file iyo it when requested, this will then download all your missing cios and update all the ios. You then just load them into the wii with your wad manager

[Keithuk]

Ok its always been 4.3 which means there is no point in having NeoGamma as you can't play burnt discs.

As mensioned you don't have IOS249 so you may as well install Digital Kaos - Downloads - D2X v7 WAD PACK (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/d2x-v7-wad-pack-1846/) then you will have IOS245 to IOS251 and register them all with MMM which is all you need to use an external USB drive with any of the USB Loaders.

Neogamma r 9 has usb hdd support keith but as with the discs it will only load them with cios 249 as far as I know it doesn't have the option to change cios

[Keithuk]

I tried NeoGamma R8 and burnt a game disc with ImgBurn but it just brings up a DVD read 1167 error, obviously the later DVD drive, I haven't bothered trying R9. Its not really worth buying good quality DVD's when you have an HDD.

You are right keith. I can use disc but don't see the point of using them due to cost and the fact the wii can only read them at 3x speed when it reads an original at 6x resulting in occasional game lag or loading problems

[victorbuc]

Thanks a lot that helped me too

[lovechief2003]

i have the same problem too.

[matmaneyre]

Just waiting for my account upgrade before I can downlaod the syscheck utility. My Wii is mega old and has been hardmodded, softmodded and now I'm trying to install Darkcorp v.1.1 to play my backups straight from the drive. Due to the age, I'm hoping it's just the missing IOSs I need. I won't pretend to understand all this. I'm usually pretty good techy-wise, but this is beyond me. I do however try to follow instructions to the absolute letter, but this time I've run into a few problems, hence why I'm here.

Same issue with Neogamma r8 - Disc Read Error
Installed Darkcorps, but so far won't recognise DVD +/- R/RW

Hoping this thread helps. Thanks guys for all your hard work and sharing the knowledge.

Darkcorp is hugely dangerous especially as you don't know what it does or what you have now it's installed. I'm assuming you have bootmii as boot 2 which is a bit of safety net but only if you have a working nand backup. Before you try anything else make sure you have a nand backup and the best discs to use are verbatim minus (-) R. By installing darkcorp you have just overwritten a load of system ios so be very careful what you now install as your wii may not react to an app the way an app creator intended it to as you have made some very major changes to the core system. Post your syscheck when you can so we can see where you are at and what you have left.

[Keithuk]

Welcome to DK.

I've never needed to use Darkcorp but I heard HH talk about and its not worth it. Trying to play burnt discs isn't really worth it as you have to buy quality DVD's then you'll need somewhere to store them all.

As suggested post a sysCheck (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/syscheck-v2-1-0-beta-17-2071/) report as instructed. Then you should be able to use the USB Loaders.

[happy_highlander]

Darkcorp is an excellent program keith but when we get a syscheck you will be able to see the ios numbers that it messes with and they are all 2 digit so any theme installations or official updates almost always results in a full brick that can only be saved by bootmii as boot2 and a working nand backup. As you will probably have guessed it was developed a long time ago when all wii's could install bootmii as boot2 so it wasn't so much of a problem but a brick caused by darkcorp almost always destroys priiloader so bootmii as an ios is pretty much useless for recovery from this type of brick.

[matmaneyre]

Well I got stuck again. I read all the horror stories about Darkcorp but I'm usually really jammy with these kind of things so decided to take the plunge. Messed around with it for way too long & got nowhere really. It's uninstalled now & all IOSs reverted & that's how it will stay as far as darkcorp is concerned. I have been trying other options though, such as Neogamma R9, still to no avail (different error code to what I get with r8, but still a disc read error nonetheless), even trying to install several different cIOSs. My SysCheck.csv said nothing about being able to read DVDs, but I've refused to believe that so far as my Wii is definitely a 1st generation. Does sysCheck tell you if it's not able to read DVDs, or just that it is able, if it can?

Anyway, my next step is to follow another guide on wiihacks to start the softmod all over again (apparently there is no benefit in virginising the Wii as the IOSs are going to be overwritten anyway) but this guide is supposed to bring you to a point where you have a choice of usbloaders & neogamma as well. I'm not sure about the DVD media I'm using either. Would it be fair to say that if they worked when it was harmodded, they should be readable through neogamma?

Just to add. I have the ability to load from USB, which is great for me, but not so great for my 7 year old. Plus the fact that I don't have a spare external drive available at the moment, just an old internal IDE that I had knocking around with a USB adapter & external power supply, which is temperamental to say the least. The hardmod was all good until yesterday, when my 2 year old, obviously unimpressed with the Wii being only able to read 1 disc at a time, decided to try 3 at once. Needless to say I found myself donning my triwing screwdriver & refreshing my dismantling knowledge. In the process, I was a bit heavy-handed with my previous solder job, & Wii modding has come so far since I did that, I'll be damned if I'm finding my soldering iron out again after all these years!

I'm at work now, so I'll post my syscheck.csv later. I have already passed it through modmii to fix the stubbed IOSs & install any missing ones. I'm still at square one though. Any thoughts in the meantime?

[happy_highlander]

Just use modmii and chose full softmod wizard it's much easier

[matmaneyre]

I did go through modmii yesterday but at the time I was just concentrating on updating the IOSs to clear out darkcorp and fix the stubbed ones. Are you saying I should go through the whole lot as if modding for the first time?

Will this enable me to run discs through the Neogamma channel? I haven't found anything in modmii that categorically confirms this.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

if your syscheck states hbc is on ios 58 then you should have done enough by updating ios but the problem is only updating ios very rarely removes darkcorp, you need to install a new system menu, which us why I recommended the full softmod and as you would anyway choose 4.3 as the version number you would like to be on after completion. You only need to follow the softmod guide from after hbc installation if you already have hbc installed into ios 58, If it's installed into 61 as older versions were you will need to reinstall it as it needs to be on 58 for all new loaders to work properly, as for your wii being able to read dvd's this is a dead cert as you already had a chip installed so drive date is irrelevant even though syscheck does give you the drive date in the file

[matmaneyre]

Thanks for the info. I feel like I'm armed up enough to have another crack at it now. Nothing worse than trial and error (with caution) when you come out with nothing but error after error. I seem to remember hbc being on IOS58. 61 doesnt ring a bell but it gives me something to go on. I didn't softmod until about 18 months ago if that. Either way I'll check it out and go through modmii from scratch if I need to and I'll post my syscheck.csv later to see if any of you clever guys can see something I'm missing!

Come to think of it, I had the inverted hbc problem yesterday after darkcorp, so reinstalled hbc to fix it through modmii. Would that install to 58 by default? I updated modmii to the latest version beforehand.

[Keithuk]

Well mine is Homebrew Channel 1.1.0 running on IOS58

The original Homebrew was 1.0.8 which I updated through Homebrew a couple of months ago, just running Homebrew and a message pops up to update. I thiink IOS61 was the earlier Wii's.

I know your Wii was done 18 months ago but was a NAND backup done at that time and do you know where keys.bin, nand.bin and the bootmi folder are?

First of please post a syscheck report as I've asked before.



As suggested post a sysCheck (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/syscheck-v2-1-0-beta-17-2071/) report as instructed.

[matmaneyre]

I will do when I get home...still at work at the moment. I did update the HBC to 1.1.0 yesterday so maybe it installed to IOS58. I'll have to check later.

I'm certain I would've done a NAND backup back then as I followed the modmii guide meticulously, so I assume it will still be on the SD.

[Keithuk]

Well you really need PriiLoader 0.7 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/priiloader-v0-7-1603/) installed if you don't have it already because if it ever did brick your Wii then you probably won't access Homebrew for find BootMii to restore your NAND but you should be able to in PriiLoader.

PriiLoader will block any online or disc updates plus other tweaks.

[matmaneyre]

Yeah I have Priloader installed. That's long-press reset isn't it? Looks like I'm not going to get time to get on the Wii tonight anyway but I'll post my syscheck report as soon as I can for your perusal! Really though, thanks for all your willingness to help out.

because he has an old wii bootmii can be installed to boot 2 giving an almost brick proof wii, priiloader isn't required for recovery with boot 2 bootmii but is required for system hacks. To check if bootmii is installed as boot 2 power on the wii without a disc in the slot. If it flashes twice you have bootmii as boot 2 and can't get any safer once you have a working nand backup

[matmaneyre]

Just to confirm, I have Bootmii installed to boot2 and I have a NAND backup, so hopefully I won't find myself in a situation where I can't do anything. Anyway, here is my syscheck log:

As you can see, my HBC is installed to IOS61, so changing that is my next move

Update:

I did the whole modmii again from Wilbrand through to configuring USBloader, and everything inbetween. HBC is on IOS61 and I can't seem to change that. I've reinstalled it countless times to the same result. There's no option I can see to change the ISO.

When I load HackMii it says:

HackMii installer v1.0 (c) 2007-2012 Team Twiizzers

The test results are in:

Using IOS versions: Installer: 61, HBC: 61

The Homebrew Channel: Can be installed
BootMii: Can be installed

Neogamma R9 b56 still doesn't work using d2x56v8final (249)

Would downgrading to 4.2E help? Not for any other reason other than that staying on 4.3E, I'm not modifying any system files and while I'm doing the whole mod, it's leaving the system intact as it was before the mod. Just a thought. Call me stupid if I'm wrong. I can take it! :D

First off are you using a new set of files downloaded by modmii everytime you use it....This is the only way to rule out a corrupt file being installed over and over again. At the end of the modmii tutorial it says if hbc is upside down our not on ios 58 please reinstall. And as far as downgrading there should be no need as modmii usually downloads everything if you tell it you want a full softmod which is also used to remove darkcorp safely. Is the wii still recognising original discs.

[matmaneyre]

It is, yes. Original discs are fine. But modmii says that if you choose to finish up with the same system (i.e 4.3E) as you started with, no system files will be downloaded. That was where my idea of downgrading came from; to force it to download new system files maybe. I'm just guessing to be honest.

I got to the point where it says to reinstall hbc if it's not on IOS58, & I have completed that step several times, but nothing changes.

Did you notice anything missing/wrong with my Syscheck report?

Syscheck is bolloxed mate.....Can't be any politer...Darkcorp is still installed and mios is v4 instead of v10. Darkcorp has maxed out ios 58...If you give me a chance I'll pm you with some instructions and files for manual removal of darkcorp. After removal you can then run syscheck in modmii to update any outdated ios installed in order to remove darkcorp. I'll see if I can find you a v10 mios wad as well.
Edit you only need updated mios if you use gamecube games...do you need it?????

[matmaneyre]

If you don't mind, that would be great. Thanks. Leave the mios if you like. I can live without it. There's still a GC knocking around here somewhere if I'm desperate to play GC games!

It's a learning curve I suppose. I wouldn't have got all the info I've got now if I'd got it right first time. Thanks for your help.

Ha. Didn't want you thinking I was trying to take liberties. I know a bit about Linux thanks to Android and after playing around with ubuntu on my ps3, but not nearly enough. I've written it off for now in the hope that maybe one day Nagra3 will be exploited, but I doubt it. It's an old 500 anyway do I'd probably be out of luck if it ever did happen.

Right, I've installed your WADs & I've downloaded the missing ISOs with modmii & I'm just about to install those before seeing if hbc will install to 58 nicely for me. It's all going a bit too smoothly for my liking at the moment, but I shan't complain...And as you say, even if the discs still don't read, at least I'll have a stable system & I'll just be happy with it as it is with a USB loader.

You do know that discs can be launched perfectly from usb loader gx and you can still use all the different cios with them same as an hdd, and it's supposed to go smoothly when following proper instructions lol

[matmaneyre]

Yeah, but this all started from a hardmod where I was able to launch discs from the disc channel. After the hardmod broke I did a quick google around and found out about Darkcorp & it looked easy & meant I could still launch from the disc channel. More for my daughter's benefit than anything. But it looked so easy I thought why not. Then obviously that threw everything out & now I'm getting read errors, & suddenly launching from the disc channel isn't important at all any more.

Whack everything on an hdd set priiloader to autoboot to usbloader gx or whatever your prefered loader is and watch her little face light up when she switches on the wii and is confronted with all the front covers of her games and just has to click one.

Perfect. Well, almost. It's all been restored and re-softmodded. Darkcorp is gone and all USB loaders I have tried work fine, and hbc is on IOS58. Unfortunately, Neogamma still doesn't want to play, but I can live with that...just need to install a lot of the games I ONLY have on disc to my hdd and set up Priiloader to boot with a loader rather than the system menu.

Thank you for all your help. Really, it would've taken me weeks to get back to having a stable system and a clear view of what and where everything is, and how to set it up for future use. Honestly can't thank you enough.

Your welcome, have you tried to launch a disc from one of the other loaders, if that works then it is just a bad file for neogamma. Remember you need the hacks.ini file on the root of the sd when booting into priiloader for installing hacks and if you get a black screen after trying to install system hack don't panic it happens a lot and is an easy fix....

Welcome to DK.

If the 3 games on the 16GB USB stick work then you're getting near the limit of that stick buy yourself a mains powered external USB drive and you can put as many games as the drive will take.

Note: Not all USB drives are compatible check the lists.

USB Compatibility List (http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/36504-usb-compatibility-list.html)

Wii USB Compatibility List - WikiTemp (http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_USB_Compatibility_List)

Just as an extra check you could post a sysCheck (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/syscheck-v2-1-0-beta-17-2071/) as instructed just to check nothing else is missing and we know which Wii version you're using.

I'll be honest it's not a feature about the other loaders I've needed to use before, but now I can't find an option in any of them for it. As soon as I run a loader, it tries to mount a USB device, times out & exits. It's the same with Wiiflow, CFG loader & USB loader GX. Neogamma is the only 1 I can see that gives me the option. Am I missing a trick?

The new usb loader gx 3.0 will open without a usb device present, I didn't mention this as I thought you had an hdd set up when you said about transferring the games over. Sorry m8. If you have a 4gb usb stick lying about format it to wbfs for the time being and stick in port 0 (the one nearest the edge of the wii) and see if it recognises it. Usb sticks are not very reliable do it may not be recognised.

[matmaneyre]

It's ok, I've got a drive I can connect, it's just not a permanent fixture as its an old internal IDE adapted to USB (i.e. No caddy) Its only 160GB so it's not worth caddying. I've got a spare external terrabyte as well but it's got loads of stuff on it that I need to relocate first.

So from within USB loader GX 3.0 I can choose to load from DVD? Sorry, I would try it myself to save asking, but I'm at work again.

yes you can load a dvd from within all versions of gx push the disc icon in the top right corner and as far as your 160gb hdd goes, it's about a fiver or so for a caddy and it will hold about 70 games...You see when you add a game to an hdd it is not 4.37gb as it is on a dvd, all the useless zero's are removed (scrubbed) that have been added to fill the dvd and most games are around 2gb obviously cod and the likes are nearer 4gb but a lot of kids games are under 2 so it evens out to around 2gb average

[happy_highlander]

Just realised what you said about gx not loading without hdd...You said you were waiting on it counting for hdd to be connected...If you press "B" that will stop the count and launch gx then as I said disc is on top right...not sure if this will work on 2.3 as I haven't tried it but it does work on 3.0

It doesn't work on 2.3. Tried pressing everything but it just keeps counting down from 20. Didn't realise there was a version 3.0 before you mentioned it. I'll give that a go later when I get home.

I've never known GX try to mount the USB device the Mount button/icon is on the top right which I've never bothered clicking. It sometimes starts the countdown if I try to start GX before the drive has got spinning but it never counts the full 19 seconds.

USB Loader GX v3.0 (http://usbloadergx.koureio.net/) has been out for well over a month.

There is also USB Loader GX Easy Installer (latest) (http://usbloadergx.koureio.net/downloads/) the second one in the list. Its USBLoaderGX_Installer_v1.8.exe which you run from Windows with the SD card inserted in the computer. It will write all the relevant v3.0 files in the correct folders on the SD card. I have mensioned this is other threads because the last version of this exe kept on bringing up a 4041 error can't access server, this bug is fixed.

Thanks for that Keith. I think it's only trying to mount because there is nothing there to mount at the moment maybe. As HH said, with a usb device connected, older versions should load straight into the user interface. I'm guessing you have a drive permanently attached to port 0. In the GX 3.0 changelog it actually states that it now loads into the interface whether there is a drive attached or not. Maybe the actual mounting now comes afterwards.

I did notice your posts (and other people's) regarding the 4041 server errors with the easy installer & it made me wary about using that method, but now I know it's fixed I'll most likely do it that way, so thanks for the info.

If you plan to use emu nand do not download gx 3.0 it is throwing the old errors from 2.3 before they fixed it. I've just installed it to test disc launching without hdd which works perfectly but the emu is at least 3 steps back so it's now been uninstalled and I'm back to 2.3 until I can sort it out

If I don't know what emu nand is...would that imply that I don't plan to use it? lol. Sorry, always learning!

[Keithuk]

I think the emu nand allows you to save the save games to the drive rather than the Wii memory. I recall asking about this a long time ago perhaps HH can ellaborate?

[matmaneyre]

Oh ok. Well as long as game saves can be saved somewhere that should be ok. Although I'm sure you'll tell me the advantages of emu nand & then I'll be convinced I can't live without it! :)

Anyway, it's all working now. Games are booting from disc in Neogamma & GX. The problem?... The discs. Any games I've got that are on DVD-Rs seem to be working, but newer ones that are on DVD+Rs give me the error code. I would have probably noticed before, but all the discs I've got used to work perfect on the hardmod, so I wrote off the discs as being the problem. Anyway, I'm eventually going to caddy up my hdd & install them all & use Priiloader to boot into GX by default.

I did tell you ages ago they had to be on dvd-r lol preferably verbatim. Emu on gx is coming along nicely and is now a lot more than just game saves, but you are correct in thinking if you don't know what it does you don't need it. Once you start to run out of space for game saves on your wii give me a shout and we can sort it out, but unless you intend to use wiiware or add your own tickets then it's not really necessary but is a huge advantage if you experiment a bit. It also allows you to add channels without the risk of bricking your real wii nand but leave that to me for now. I will always post tried and tested working setups for everybody once I have tested them myself and can be reasonably confident they won't cause any bricks if instructions are followed. :D

[matmaneyre]

Yeah, I know, I know lol See the thing is, when I hard modded my Wii, I used to read everywhere then that you should only use certain discs & always burn at 2x. I used 2 brands of discs back then, both the cheapest I could get my hands on locally, about ?12 for 100, & burned at maximum speed. I never, ever had a problem with them & I assumed that people were being over-cautious, & that IF you did have errors, more expensive discs & slower burning should fix it, which you would expect. So I've unfortunately kept that mentality & found that actually, even though they work on a hardmod, something about the softmod makes a difference to the way the discs are read.

Emu nand sounds obvious now I think about it with your brief explanation. Emulating the nand, I suppose giving you more nand at your disposal & safeguarding the genuine nand for you to try untested apps/hacks/betas. Could be useful to me one day. I'll bear you in mind if I decide I need it!

Ok, small problem. So far I've managed to transfer all my backups to wbfs on a 500gb external I managed to free up, & I transferred all my wbfs backups from the old converted internal IDE to the same drive. Took me a long time, but it's gonna be worth it. The problem is, they load fine in CFG Loader, but I kinda prefer USB Loader GX. But although it sees the wbfs partition & how much space is used & free, it tells me there are no games. I played with the settings but to no avail. Then I decided to reset the settings to default in case it was something I'd messed with before today, & they all showed up, so I thought all was great. But then, after turning it off & back on again a bit later, they're gone again, & factory reset doesn't sort it anymore. Any idea what could be wrong? I don't wanna be formatting & transferring all over again. Parental settings are off & the whole drive is formatted to wbfs, so it's not like they're just not visible or the wrong partition is selected or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first thing you need to do is post a full sysCheck (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/syscheck-beta18-zip-2360/) report so we can see whats on your system.

You also need to install PriiLoader 0.7 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/wii/16/priiloader-v0-7-1603/) that will block onay online or disc updates.

To install anything from Homebrew you need the different programs in their own apps folder on the SD card else you will only see bubbles when you click on Homebrew. To install any wads you need something like MMM (http://mmm4wii.posterous.com/mmm-multi-mod-manager-v134)
