I can't get my retail copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii to work. It had been working fine for the longest time, but then I updated to Darkcorp with whatever cios rev that uses (17 maybe?) and now I get an error after a few minutes of playing. I would uninstall it and go back to what I had before... but I can't remember what cios rev and what cioscorp version I had before. Could anyone with a retail copy of the game tell me how they got it to work for them?

Reinstall IOS51.

Does it matter which version of IOS51? I found a Wii Shop and IOS51 installer... so I assume that should do the trick, correct?

EDIT: Actually, it seems the IOS51 installer has been updated to a IOS61 installer... so is that what I should use?

A friend of mine hacked my wii using the bannerbomb method. We now don't live near eachother and I want to be able to play the New Super Mario Brothers.

My only problem, is I really don't understand what to do based on reading this site. Is there someone who can please give me some helpful information or tell WHICH instructions on this site I need to follow?

Thanks,
Ms. H

would it make sense to just "unhack" my wii so i can play new super mario brothers?

at this point, the only hacked game we play is mario kart.

"Unhacking" is probably a lot more difficult than just updating your mod.

Just follow this: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=171...t=0&start=0 and your Wii should be able to run NSMBW after that

I have a general question: Why can't we fix the anti-piracy with a cheat (like is done with DS games often)?

"We" can, and did (at least for NSMBW, look again, it's there).

In the end, there are simply better solutions, like the WIP-Files, BCA-Files, or hardcoding it into the loader. Especially BCA-Files are the most cleanest one, because they are the closest to a real game.

Quicky:

- Wiikey2 Chip with Firmware 1.3
- NSMB used to work fine, now I get the infamous 'an error has occured' message

I was already at 4.2E and a disc (I can't remember which one) asked me for an update last week, which I allowed, because it didnt do a full upgrade, apparently only one IOS. (I read about it here).

Did that one replaced IOS screw up my ability to play NSMB Wii? Everything else works fine. Galaxy 2 included.

[edit] I think I should download an unpatched iso. Could be the update prevented the patched ISO from working?

I think the update from the other game has installed an unpached version of IOS53. You need to install a trucha patched IOS53 then NSMB should work again. You can use Dop-Mii or a similar program for taht.

Thanks!
I had a patched ISO (and a patched IOS53) before and you were right: IOS53 was installed with the update.
But I got me a firmware update 1.3 for my chip and the unpatched ISO and now all is fine.

quick question as I'm reading tutorial guides (i don't have a HDD to do a softmod btw so thats out of the question). i have a wiikey v1 with 1.99

I have a patched NSMB and I get the dreaded error screen.

I have a 3.2U Wii (hasn't been touched in a while because my ps3 was still alive) and I want to play this game. Based on what I'm reading, I'm missing a couple of IOS's. The last time any game updated my Wii was from Madworld or something like that.

I guess I'm missing IOS53. Will installing Homebrew Channel and using Wad Manager to install all the IOS's I'm missing fix the problem or is there a better solution that doesn't involve the softmod?

Thanks ahead of time.

I think installing IOS53 5406 is the better way. You also could make a system update, but only install the IOS with a wad manager is definitely better.

thanks for the help.

where can I find IOS53 5406 (ie/ a good website)?

I'm still a bit iffy about these IOS's. I always read about many versions of IOS53.

I am going to backup the Wii's NAND just incase installing IOS's mess something up.


I've searched google and a few links with IOS53 v5406 have showed up but I can't tell if they are reliable or not.

Thanks again for the help.

edit: forgot to add that i have a wiikeyv1 with the newest update.

  • 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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
