Okay new to this Wii stuff and need some help have the homebrew channel and browser install but nothing else my wii verison is 4.3. what can i do next to get back up games and dvd's to work, wii keeps telling "unable to read disk" please?????

[Clayfig]

this is outdated, only the first couple of wii versions that came out can play burned DVD's. now newer wii's have chips in them to not be able to run games like this. your only option is to get a external harddrive and run your backup's from there

IF YOU HAVE FIRMWARE 4.2U, DO THIS BEFORE THIS STEP AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD :D

[thakid212]

When I get to the part where you gotta read the disclaimer and press A to start the installation.....when I press A nothing happens? I have Wii verison 3.2U....

[eyereric]

@thakid212 you have to kinda hold "A" down hard...

My wii is currently using system menu version 3.3. I have recently used the twilight hack and hackmii to install the homebrew channel. I have read through this instructable and downloaded/copied all files correctly. I followed the above instructions for cIOS36 Rev7, however when I attempt the next step, installing DVDx, I do not have the option of IOS249 in advanced options. I don't know why, or what to try next, other than install IOS249 a different way. I have read all other comments but havn't found anything helpful or relevant to me. I am new to this and would appreciate any help!

[Hazardous]

It's all good now, I had to use the 3.3 update fix to install the wads

[chunkie1958]

I would think if you don't have the option for the 249...check your Wii version again I think you may have a 3.4....I'm not trying to say your wrong about 3.3...but the only time I have had that happen is when it was a Ver.3.4

[Hazardous]

Thanks for your help, but yer it is v3.3E. Nevermind I followed the '3.3 update fix' instructions and now I have the option of 249

[liljohnnydoe]

Please note: I am beginner at this.

Ok, here is what I have done:

1. I have upgraded my System Menu to version 4.0 using the update option from the Wii

2. Following this instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/S9RV0FWFN4H8OED/
I have installed cIOS36 Rev7. This means that I have also installed Homebrew Channel (using Bannerbomb exploit ).

3. Following the same instructable I have got to the point where I got the Error ret-2011 which a lot of other people (with System Menu 4.0) got: " tried to install the 04-BackupLauncher0.3g+_249-NeoRame.rar like instructed below.I get a installing ticket...ERROR! (ret = -2011)"

4. After that everything went down the drain. I have tried to follow this instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/SQHX9S3FUNOXOKE/ with both versions (offline and online), but I kept getting the -2011 error.

5. I have tried to follow other tutorials out there but I did not get any further because of different errors.

Now I do not know what version of cIOS or other files I have installed on my Wii.
I have tried to update again my System Menu 4.0 in case I have messed up anything but my Wii says that I already have the latest version installed.

So my questions are:

1. How do I know what version of the Files I have and whether I have messed up my System Menu ? And how do I get back to the original System Menu 4.0 of the files?

2. Since the aim of this entire thing is to play backup games, how do I fix this and how do I get my Wii to play the backup games, from backup DVDs (I've seen that it might be possible to play them from USB devices, I am not interested in that right now). Also, I do not want to install any other homebrew applications (like DVD players or video players).

3. If in the process I have to downgrade my System Menu, what are the exact steps to do that?

Thank you very much for your help and I hope someone will be able to help me make things work !
If you think you can help but you need more information, please comment on my question and I will provide as much information as I can

[dsnider420]

Johnny, I have been having the same problem with my system. It turns out that if you install 4.0, the system completely disables the ability to install WADs. I have got part way to the end result with some help from the guys over at wiibrew and wiihacks forum. Here is how to get started off. Go to this page and follow the instructions that they give. (http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/18221-how-get-cios-system-menu-4-cboot2.html) Than come back to this page and download the packet. Launch HBC and run the WAD installer. Select "wii SD card" then move the cursor next to the correct region for your system and press the plus button. That will install the backup launcher. Thats as far as I have got. I need some -R dvds before I can try anything else. Hope that helps.

[KikoWii]

Hi people, i'm having a problem. Mi Wii version is 3.1E. I downloaded the files for SD Card. But when i insert it on wii :x i can't open Homebrew Channel. This Channel doesn't appear on Wii :x I thought if Wii can't read SD Card then i tried to copy game saves to SD Card and there was no problem to do it so Wii recognize SD Card. Help me please!! Regards

[dsnider420]

HBC is not included with this packet. If you would have read the instructions you would see that. Go to wiibrew and look it up. Its easy to install. If you have a 4.0 system than you can only install via the bannerbomb exploit.

[abab2982]

I copied the files from Rapidshare onto my SD card, but when I put the card into my Wii and open the Homebrew Channel, I can't do anything. All I get is bubbles. Can anybody tell me what to do?

[chunkie1958]

if all you see is bubbles then you don't have everything you need on your SD card. There should be an apps folder,Wad folder and a couple more...check your card

[Coolguy2860]

Omg I have the same problem do you know how to get around this problem I got every thing installed but when i launch the backup loader i dont get the menu for starting the game just the background a little green picture in the bottom left corner

[lindowc]

When trying to install I get this error:

"Installing Custom IOS, please wait...
>>Installing ticket... ERROR! (ret = -1035)"

Anyone know what that could be?

Thanks.

[ThisOneTime]

If you have system version greater than 3.2 then this won't work. But there is a fix (yay). Use the following for this step:

Try uninstalling every earlier cIOS using AnyTitleDeleter. Then reinstall

[emanro]

Hi
I'm getting the same error when installing the IOS36 update
"Installing Custom IOS, please wait...
>>Installing ticket... ERROR! (ret = -1035)"

Tried to delete previous IOS but AnyTitleDeleter seems to have some problem also and won't delete.

I'm Running Sistem menu 4.0. Any clues?

[elamigochocha]

Hello. Cau u tell me how this AnyTitleDeleter works? I have the program but when I use it on my Wii I don't kno what to do on the menu that the programs launch.

[imBrandon]

Use homebrew channel to launcher it.

[paxlod84]

ok just to let everyone know DO NOT DO WAD INSTALL DO NETWOrk instALL i promise you will be happy there is no errors nothing i went through 3 spindles of cds until i woke up today and was like oh *&^{% WADS are the error not the 324 error its because 324 is saying you dont have your custom ios installed}

But make sure if you did install dvdx and this cios thing to restart uninstall dvdx then do back to cios 36 install that but DO NOT WAD INSTALL then proceed

JUST one error makes your day a living hell with a bottle of excedrin haha any questions feel free to text me 813 892 8315

I done exactly what it says in the instructions and mine worked perfectly. Im now ripping my copy of Zelda over my wifi connection just for the sake of it. anyone know where it saves lol. Thanks.

[FluxZone]

I try loading this and i get stuck at the screen shown in the image here. My Wii is completely frozen and I cannot press A or reset, I'm forced to pull the plug on my Wii every time. I have firmware version 3.2E. I'm dying to get this to work

[FluxZone]

I'm referring to rev7 of course

[corysmart]

does it work on 3.0 because i only have iso's under50 i do not have 249

[imBrandon]

Upgrade to 3.1 because I have 3.1 and it works fine.

[elamigochocha]

I'm gonna cry. I'll give up and pay for this work. :'(

[astr0z0mb1e]

Hello, I will be updating my homebrew later tonight, but I just wanted to make sure that what this is doing is installing the backloader v.3 Gamma correct... just with the channel that you made. Thanks

[conradev]

what do you mean by updating your homebrew? BY ALL MEANS DO NOT UPDATE YOUR WII. If you donot know what you are doing START HERE:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Hack_any_Wii/

and THEN do this guide!
