USB Loaders on a friends Wii 4.3E

[happy_highlander]

C' mon keith were you half asleep. You know d2x won't install unless you have ios 236 loaded.

[Keithuk]

Yes I realised that today.

One of the extra apps that ModMii made was IOS236-v5-Mod now when you run that is says can't find IOS236 on the root of the SD card well ModMii only made IOS36-64-v3351.wad on the root so I put that in and IOS236 install. Why the ehll can't they give the correct name to IOS's?

Yes I install that the all the d2x's installed and the USB Loaders all worked.

Before my friends left for home on Sunday they gave me another Wii that they bought of one of their brothers as a backup.

Again I entered the MAC address and tried to use LetterBomb, with the LetterBomb files on a 2GB SD card the bleeding red envelope never came. I even entered the MAC address again when the first one didn't arrive.

As anyone else had problems with the red envelope message not appearing? The first one I did with LetterBomb the red envelope came within the hour. The last 2 it never appeared. I know it won't appear if there isn't the correct SD card inerted with the files on but mine was both times.

I use the old method with the original LEGO Indiana Jones The Original Adventures disc and the indiana-pwns saved game.

Everything completed smoothly this time it was done in 1 hour, it takes 20 minutes to do a NAND backup.

Ok I went out for a drink with friends last night and one of them told me she had bought a black Wii and there was a Wii Sports disc still inside it for ?39. Can I softmod it as she wants it in her fitness room. So when I got back home I plugged it in and got it running it was a 4.3E. I got the MAC address and went to LetterBomb and entered the MAC address and downloaded Letterbomb.zip. I put the files on a 2GB SD card put it back in the Wii clicked on messages and the red envelope was there that was quick. I softmodded it and did a NAND backup (this takes a long while).

I put an old 8GB SDHC card back in with all the necessary wad files and apps. I installed all the wads needed to run the USB Loaders IOS36, IOS236 and all Full cios wad pack. along with the Forwarders. I plugged my USB drive in and all the USB loaders worked straight off.

I did another sysCheck and there were 14 stubs so I installed

IOS11v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS20v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS30v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS40v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS50v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS52v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS60v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS70v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad
IOS80v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad

which brought it down to 5 stubs and everything still works as it should do.

I ran the Homebrew Browser and downloaded and installed sysCheck GX. I ran it and its similar to sysCheck but it doesn't show the Drive date and it saves the results in syscheckGX.txt file with everything in 2-3 lines continous not very nice. I've mensioned this before by Playstats is a nice little app you can add to your SD card. It shows every game you have played and for how long, all sorts of stats.

I went out to day and bought a Kingston 4GB SDHC card locally for ?3.49, a Sandisk 4GB SDHC are ?6.99 at Argos.

So you can easily softmod a 4.3 within an hour.

Lol I can do 3 in an hour. But that's probably cause I have all the files and indy

Well I had been out on a drinking night, it takes 20 minutes to do a NAND backup.

The length of time to do a nand backup depends on the write speed of the sd card

[Keithuk]

I notice with the newer Homebrew 1.1.0 it makes a wii back up folder on the SD card with the [bootmii] folder and keys.bin & nand.bin in it, so you just zip/rar the folder and put it somewhere safe.

Good idea for newbies saves them booting into bootmii on an older wii and not being able to figure out why.
