Renke's Ultimate Wii Soft Mod Guide 2010 - FEEDBACK AND DISCUSSION

[renke_uk]

About Wii sport resort, it doesn't need 4.1 to work, it's that the 4.1 update fixed an error to do with keep replaying the intro video after loading wiiware games - so really doesn't affect usb loaders.

Zippeyrude, the patching ios36 part seems to work very, it's just that there trying to make dopiodmod a 'all-in-one' kinda app, that will be great when they get it sorted, its the add on features that i'm not to sure about, inparticular the syscheck.

Did you see the bit in post 16 about not using syscheck on dopiosmod v11.3 & v11.4? it's an extra feature that don't work, fixed in v11.5. just so you know.

hi guys
Ive soft modded the kids wii. 4.3e, everything works fine with back up discs. however I want to run some games off an external harddrive. an Iomega prestige 250gb portable. Ive checked the compatibility list in the other thread, and it says that is compatible with usb loader. this is good news. However I cant seem to get this step correct when trying to run a game from usb.
I tried a game from an 8gb usb stick, I formatted to fat32, didnt put any partition in, as i figure i didnt need one, as nothing else would be on the stick, but usb loader Gx or any other program wouldnt play it, USB loader showed that space was taken on the stick, but wouldnt list it as an option. I used imgburn to rip the iso from a disc to usb to try it.

does it matter which usb port you plug into? also the Iomega prestige HDD has 2 usb connectors to allow it run, can i plug both usb connections into the back of the wii?

I was gonna put backup disc in the wii, and try to copy to usb, I understand this can be done through one of the programmes.

I'm a bit lost. can anyone assist..


cheers

steiff.

I'm a bit lost.

Hi Steiff1
when i added a hard drive to my wii it had to be plugged into the port nearest the base of the console,
i also formatted and added iso's to the drive using WBFS Manager 3.
i didnt use renki's guide but used letter bomb to soft mod my wii.
hope this helps a little.

Great work. Totally impressed! I wish this was about just after Xmas!

Anywho, just an observation I've had...
I decided to install PriiLoader to mine to boot it straight to the USB Loader I'm now using (WiiFlow is by far the best and I've used the 3 top ones so far!)

Doing this I feel stops the kids from updating on the web or deleting shit they know nothing about causing me more work to repair it. Plus, with WiiFlow it has a Parental Lock on what happens in the WiiFlow GUI.

Perhaps mention of the proceedure to install it added? I would type it up to help, but mine was setup by a lot of trial and error - a lot of patience - and far too much time!

[renke_uk]

Cheers DejaVu,
I have just looked it up and watched a few vids and yes i agree very impressive - so i download it, complete with animated forwarder. Went on a treat only thing is all my games are on a fat32 drive, and it was calling for a wbfs drive, do you know if they do a fat32 dol? like they have for cfg.
We could sort out some usb loader packs complete with themes and forwarders and the best way to set them up, no probs.

renke, have you come accross this amazing app?

Only registered and activated members with 10 posts or more can see links.

I stumbled accross it because for one reason or another, the wbfs intelligent gui wouldn't recognise my drive. This did instantly, and also supports ciso files, and allows extraction from usb hdd to elsewhere with conversion on the fly etc...

It really is a great app, and so easy to use.

Very tidy little tool, I used this alot, before I moved across to a fat32HDD
Has an excellent user interface.

Cheers

Righto, i ve got it working, four games on hard drive BUT for some reason every game freezes eventually.
Some within a couple of mins, others half an hour.

I ve checked, the hard drive i ve used is one thats recommended! Weird

[renke_uk]

Hi AndyPandy,
What version of CFG USB Loader you using and were you working off my guide?
Also was there anything left over or installed from your last softmod.
Are the games your playin' Rockband, Guitar type games.

Regards

[DejaVu]

WiiFlow at the moment doesnt recognise a FAT32 drive. I spent all day yesterday copying my game off just to reformat it to WFBS.

There is no information yet on whether or not they'll implement FAT32 support on the WiiFlow's site, but my HD is dedicated to the Wii so thought sod it and jumped in.

Well worth it IMO!

Think I'll stick with Configurable Loader for now then.

Echoing the above comments, great work Renke. You've obviously put a lot of time and effort into this, so big thanks for that. Gonna be good to have the ultimate Wii guide on DF ;-)

There might be some stuff left over from the last softmod, i cleaned the SD card and put the new stuff on it but theres possibly stuff left over, any ideas?

The version thats in the file pack,yes mate, tried a guitar one but every other one in pack freezes very quickly.

Is it possibly some of the config stuff in the loader itself?

[renke_uk]

Just to get a idea of what your running,
What HDD you Got
Formatted to? What if any partitions you got?

Regards

[ANDYPANDY]

Elements 500 gig
Formatted to FAT from disk manager in MBkPro
One partition

The thing keep freezing now, it aint playing ball at all now, can get as far as loading up the loader but it wont let me click any files etc.

[renke_uk]

I also have a elements 500GB-With 100+ games on CFG FATv52
WBFS - games
MOVIES - divx

I take it your using a mac (Never Used One)
so do the game managers on here work or do you have to find simular apps?
I take it you meant FAT32 and not FAT
No Hidden partitions & Active

What game manager you using?
Regards
