Wii Softmod

[TradersBASE]

I have 2 guys on software 4.0 that say the downgrade wont work. Anybody encounter this and find a downgrade that works?

Thanks

Don’t break it. She might have nothing to do to entertain herself other than have sex with you

I gave up after 8 hours of trying. I got all the software installed but the games dont work when I burn them or when I tried them on my 500GB hard drive.

I had one game that worked… and 5 that didnt (using USB Loader 1.5) with CIOS36 rev10. I’m running 3.3U as I didn’t want to push UPGRADE and have it go to 4.2 or something and be stuck.

I give up. I’ve wasted 10 hours of my time reading on this only to come up with NOTHING.

I’ve got a collection of purchased games. I think I’m just gonna keep buying one at a time since I’m clearly not going to get it working with my Wii.

Unless someone knows something I may be missing?

So it won’t play backups or load off the USB drive, but all of the other homebrew stuff works? Like, can you download Quake and run that?

Is the hard drive formatted correctly?

You need this program to format and put the ISO files onto the hdd.

I have been able to download a few wiiware games and install them with the WAD Installer inside of HBC.

I also have about 5 games running off of an external hard drive. There are 15 games that I downloaded and some just hang there and never load.

I am lost, yet to me… I will just go buy the other games as usual This was a fun little “huge nerd” thing to do, just to see what it was all about.

World of Goo is a pretty neat puzzle/physics game, if anyone is looking for a neat wiiware to try out. I had my brother buy it for his house.

I used that and no games worked.

I then switched to WBFS-GUI and it allowed me to be functional a little.

I also had luck with a couple of games where they didn’t work, I switched them from PAL->NTSC or vise versa using RegionFrii, and then they worked.

I am mad that MadWorld won’t work… I am not going to upgrade from 3.3U to 4.0, ever. And I don’t know what people are talking about when they say “Install IOS53 and IOS55” to get it to run. Where do you get these IOS installation files?

not sure if that works :shrug:

Have you tried to patch the games that didn’t work? Just to see if they were actually done?

edit~i haven’t had the chance to even do this yet as im waiting for my wd passport so i may end up having trouble also. Just about all the game i have downloaded and burned have worked though.

They have the pastports on sale at bestbuy. I think the 250 gig was like 80 or 85.

I got one used for 45. You can get a new 400gb for around that on ebay. Thanks for the heads up though.

awesome USB Loader

Please close this thread

[Zer0DazE]

That is a nice looking loader. I will have to give it a try this weekend.

I noticed an oddity the other day with my soft modded wii. I couldn’t play COD3.
I tried to fire it up off my usb drive, and off the disc. It runs, but when you try to start either a new game, or load a save, it just hangs. I even tried to remove the save file, and that didn’t fix it. kinda odd.

I sent my buddy the info in here a few days back. He has since reported that it did nothing but crap up his Wii… guess I should have mentioned to him that I hadn’t tried it yet.

What JCuz posted works fine with boxes up to 3.4.

What did you have your boy do?
