I just downloaded WiiMod for the first time with Tech James tutorial on YouTube. I did exactly the same except for the fact that I downloaded the app with a USB instead of a SD card like he did, but it's the only different thing him and I did. The app seems to work perfectly but whenever I enter the WAD Manager option on the main menu the message "Fake Sign Patch may be required, check your IOSs for a valid IOS ret = -2011" pops up

And whenever I try to install a wad the error -2011 signature check failed. happens.

Can you guys help me fix this?
I must say that this is a modded Wii console that I've had for a long time, I played during my whole childhood with it, but it was my older brother who modded the console at first, once It was passed down to me the only things I've done with the console are Installing USB loader and Nintendont again to play Wii and GameCube games, so other than that I don't have much knowledge on Wii modding. I would appreciate anybody's help in solving this problem as I really am not sure what to do to make this work.
Maybe it's because my Wii isn't connected to the internet?

WiiModLite you mean? To install wad files?
Use Some-YAWMM-Mod instead, to DL it click on the link above (the one Jeannotte posted).

By usb or sd you mean you placed the WiiModLite files on the usb instead of on the sdcard? That won't work, it has to be placed on the sd card so it'd show up on the Homebrew Channel (the same for other homebrew apps).

Again, if you want an app to install wad files use some_yawmm_mod.

No. Installing wads doesn't & shouldn't require an active internet connection.

I placed the file on my USB and it showed up and I could open it, but it just wouldn't let me install the wads.

Will this one work if place the file on my USB? I currently don't have an SD card and I wouldn't want to have to buy one just so that I can play a single N64 game (I wanna play Star Fox 64 which I already have in my 3Ds but I don't like it because the audio doesn't sound as cool lol)

I created a folder called "Wads" and placed them there, it does show up when I open the Wad Manager, but as I said it doesn't let me install them.

I will post one tomorrow when I have some free time.


Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it!
I hope that other Homebrew works, I will post the syscheck as soon as I can.

I don't think either apps could install to the sysnand without an sd card present.

As for the wad files, placing them on the usb is fine.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
