Hacking Preloader 4.0 Hacks list.

[Smartpal]

I'm going to install preloader on my newly updated system, thanks a lot for this!

 

[Lubbo]

Region Free did not work

then i tried the Region Free from wiibrew and it worked but when i launched the game (Naruto Geikitou Ninja Taisen 3) i got 001 error

 

[Scarfish]

Region Free Wii Games not working for me either!

4.0E PAL Wii.

So i am on 4.0(E) and would like install Preloader.
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader
0.29 is the latest download. Works with 4.0


My question is about the hacks.ini:

I just create a new ini file and copy past your hacks? Will this work?

Thanks for help.

Ah before i forgot:
IOS Reload will make the game play with IOS249 right?
So i just need IOS60BF.wad installed, IOS249 and this hack and all Games will play through the disc channel?

Edit:
Oh dear^^.
Forget about the hacks.ini.
It is in the first post.
My fault. Sry.

Should be all fine, that is how I have it set up. But there are 2 issues.

1. Some games have errors (001 etc) that didn't occur on 3.2 (like mario kart).
I managed to fix this by modifying IOSreload to IOS60 instead of 249.

I don't know if it affects everyone, but if you're having problems, feel free to try it.

[IOS Reload 60]
version=418
offset=0x8137B8C8
value=0x3B200001
offset=0x8137B8CC
value=0x3B00003C

Also I don't know if any games have trouble running off IOS60BF as opposed to 249, but I haven't had any issues yet.

2. Region Free hack isn't working for me either, so only PAL games working.

CIOS60BF uses the app.1 from CIOS36 rev7 which doesn't have any problems with Mario Kart but probably has problems with the newer games. Your IOS249 is probably CIOS36 rev8 (or 9). rev8 was having problems with Mario Kart and some other games and thats why the CIOSCORP package of MiiWii is not fully rev8 dipped. Some IOSes uses the rev7 version for Mario Kart and other games to work. If you have CIOS36 rev8 installed you could try rev9, maybe it fixed the problem for Mario Kart?

Region free channels doesn't work for me either

 

[gilaben]

Will we ever see an NTSC version? I am really excited to tryout IOSReload but cannot find an NTSC version. If anyone has found a NTSC version of IOSReload please post it.

 

[Det1re]

Both fun-hacks do not work for my PAL system. Just as an information.



...and thanks for the list!

 

[Dantarion]

gilaben, you don't need it, in preloader .29 its part of the default package.
Its not in the hacks menu, its in the main config.

I get an error with the file something like no line break after [. :S

Double check if you have no free lines in the ini.

Added one new Hack:
[Region Free Wii Discs]
version=418
offset=0x8137D428
value=0x60000000

Also did add info hack by hack in spoiler...

Since the consensus seems to be that ^^ isn't working, is there any danger in leaving a hack that was found to be ineffective enabled? Is it as simple as disabling them on the Preloader SystemHacks menu, removing it from the hacks.ini file, and replacing it with a hack that works, or (since there is no uninstall method as far as I know) is it best to reinstall the system menu and then start again? Any advice would be appreciated, as, although familiar with StarFall, I'm new to PreLoader.

"Preloader 4.0 Hacks list., -All hacks here- " kind of implies it's a comprehensive list of all known Preloader hacks.

 

[Djang]

why do i need to be jealous

i have a PAL Wii so lets list the benefits shall we

No Blackscreen issues because, well basically PAL is a better Format

we get hacks first

errmm, i just download your NTSC-J/U releases

PAL is a better console/TV format and its a fact dude...

PAL is so much better with its lower framerate.

NTSC = Never The Same Color

The new Region Free Hack works great!

Tested Taiko Wii (NTSC - JAP) - Success!

At this link

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader/hacks

there is an hack for

[Region free Wii games]
version=418
offset=0x8137F4B4,0x8137D6E4
value=0x38600001,0x38000001

Anyone tested it?

 

[MightyMouse]

once again PAL first :-)

No. The built-in setting new to preloader .29 ONLY loads the system menu with IOS249, so that the system will read backups. IOS Reload hack directs all IOS calls to 249, so the backups actually play.

Basically, the system menu setting eliminates the need to install dip patched IOS 30 or 60, and IOS reload eliminates the need for cioscorp or backup loader.

 

[MightyMouse]

it doesnt really remove the need for cioscorp, since some games have a really dislike to been forced to 249, corp gives better compatability.
