Hacking New Super Mario Bros. Wii

[Cbajd5]

I'll wager it's still an incomplete/bad rip. The "garbage data" isn't always garbage and there have been releases that require data beyond the standard 4,699,979,776 bytes.

Multiple people with retail bought copies have created 1:1 dumps of the games multiple times, including a failed attempt at a dual layer dump.

It's protection, that's the end of the story.

ALSO IN MUCH MORE INTERSETING NEWS:
Michael Jackson is coming to the Virtual Console.

Do you think a hacker with a USB Gecko and hack a code to bypass the protection can solve this problem? It's only an idea people might aswell give it a shot.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

OK, let's try this again...

Does anybody know if an original retail disc of NSMB Wii can be played using Gecko OS or another region free disc launching method? I'm talking about played properly without any random crashes. This is a very important question for those of us that like to import our games and don't use homebrew for piracy.

Idea, since Clipper is here. I recall a post in the larger thread about saying what speed mod chips gives, USB loaders etc. Could we try and see if a USB loader could run at retail speed (6x). Could help us in someway.

I got to world 1-3 using a wasabi v3 then get the disc read error I tried disconnecting my USB drive removed my SD card but still kept getting the same error I guess all we can do is wait until someone figures this out unfortunately I have exhausted all possible solutions that I can try

If I remember correctly from the last thread the answer is yes. Original copies work when loaded anyway besides USB, but burnt copies will crash with modchips and will not load with softmods alone.

THe load speed isn't the problem, as someone tried changing their modchip to load at 3x speed and it still loaded, but still DREd too. I'd doubt that chaing the USB Loader's speed is going to make it load through USB. Also SD loading was tried too, and failed.

FFS, it's been siad over and over again, USB loaders can't do 6X and besides this theory was disproven as someone set their drive to 3X and it loaded still.

Wait the retail copy works? and if so what update does it contain?

1. Didn't you read the first post?
2. 4.1, the IOS files from 4.2, and a new IOS53.

 

[Cbajd5]

According to the last thread it works fine loading it through the various things that let it be region free. Pretty much according to the last thread it contains the system update of 4.1.

I heard from the old thread it was 4.1 with ios53.
I cant remember which version of ios53 since the old thread was deleted because of all the annoying spammers but i guess it was a new version released just for this game.

Sure, if the guy knows how to use a USB Gecko.

here are my test results
Wii 4.1u
wiikey 1.0 at 3x speed = World 1-2 is the farthest I could go even if I finished World 1-1 in the fastest time
6x speed = could get pass World 1-3 even if I take each stage slowly and DRE when trying to save Toad

If codes don't work then start hacking the main.dol file atleast your going to get somewhere when you hack it try disabling the protection if you can I really do believe that's the major problem I do have to say Nintendo did a good job protecting this game they did make it tough to crack like I said hack the main.dol file and see what you can change maybe patching error # 001 & # 002 would be a good start.

forgot to mention, this is on the wii hence why my capture card is blurry as hell.
using a method i would have never thought of, ill explain in a few if it doesn't crash at 2-5 where it did last time about an hour in.

Just like the guy who "removed 40mbs of copy protection and it works!" or the other guy who "hacked the copy protection, was going to release it, but then got stuck at World 5". Seriously why come make multiple posts about how you think you got it, just say your suggestion already and multiple people will test it. Crazy ass idea, I know.

Well now, let's relax. He has taken the time thus far to post a screenshot of 2-1, which for many of us is an accomplishment in itself. He seems credible based on his arguments in the earlier thread. Just let his idea develop and he'll report the results shortly.

BS.

BS? I've been using my theory of loading quick saves and copy pasting them to the SD Card.

Would you like to see my method? It's working, I'm past level 1-2 in video format on youtube if you'd like to see that, 1-3 is uploaded onto youtube, further proving that you can get past this protection bs if you have the patience for it, because until they fix it, this is the only way you can progress past 1-2.

My friend suggested this to me, and it has been working like a charm, infact, I posted it earlier, unsure of it myself.

For the time being whilst 1-Mini Fortress uploads; http://www.gameanyone.com/video/172743 watch 1-3.

In advance, I apologise for my voice, It was 3am

 

[Xta Large]

I was told that taking the disc out for thirty seconds to a minute after each level serves as a temporary solution. Anyone wanna lay the smackdown on (or confirm) this method?

Thats been said before, it doesn't fix the problem, and if they brought this protection out on other games in the future it wouldn't work lol, but nice to know someone has the patience to play one level at a time.

Not to be an ass, but this method has been known since like an hour after the release came out. Lots of people have gotten to the end of World 2 or further by quick saving and resetting.

Are you saying to use the boring save-reset method or to load a save of the game that's past 1-2 and not caring about the save-reset method?
