I wan't to know if there is a way to progress without the need of buying a memory card, it is my only only GC game(for now), I couldn't find any place that sells the MC here and i don't want to bother getting one if there is a way to save my progress without the need of one.Linkhero1 said:Are you talking about imported GC games? I think they should still run even without a memory card. I don't know why you would want to play Paper Mario TYD without a memory card

Oh hell no. No way I'm updating until that is fixed. The only reason I even play Animal Crossing anymore is to toy around with various hacks. Without that, I wouldn't touch the game again.
SilverLunar said:
There's an app in the Homebrew Browser that's called something like "Gamecube Save" I think.
Don't know what it's about.
Might just be an extractor/installer.
Lord Helmet said:
It doesn't say that the Ocarina cheats (which is probably what you refer to as "various hacks") are blocked does it ?
Actually I should look into them, If there are "all characters unlocked" and "all stages unlocked" cheats, it's enough for me to play Brawl. At least while waiting for a way to reinstall my save.

Can't get most of my homebrew to work anymore. Where are we at with newer exploits?
edit: actually that doesn't seem to be my problem. I didn't realise elf was no longer supported...

When playing in a GC game, the machine turns into a GC. There's nothing that HBC can do... simply go out and buy yourself a GC memcard.

Thanks for the replays about the memory card issue, it seems i have to get one from Ebay in the future.

Hm...I'll keep that in mind, thanks :]Linkhero1 said:
I believe he copied his Brawl save file onto an SD by using the Save Extractor and deleted the file itself off his Wii. He updated his Wii and can't use Save Installer to put the save file back on the Wii. Save extractor and installer died with the 3.3 Oct. 23rd Update.MoogPaul said:

Is there any way to update to 4.0 and keep Smash Bros saves?
yes, load the save back before updatingNinja Kn1ght said:
i was on 3.2, damn, i am raging hard, i updated thinking i could free up space so i can put ssbb back on there so i can play again
anyways, there's an updated for mplayer ce, it says you need to use a cios for usb 2.0
upon further investigation, there's a usb loader now, it was leaked, and the guy that made it said he wont be updating it anymore because the leak (sound familiar eh)
back to mplayer ce, it supports 16:9 now, a huge leap in my opinion, the reason i downloaded it
i did a few tests with it, the picture quality does look slightly worse then playing it on comp
h264 works to my surprise, not enough horsepower to play it, so there's framerate drops all over the place
subtitle support is good, renders srts good (but not the way it's meant to be rendered)
oh, here's the rant about from the legit devs on the usb loader, interesting read

Waninkoko seems to have a working usb loader, Marcan is really pissed (with many reasons to be so).

I was on 3.2 before, had HBC, but then my Wii broke. I'll be sending it to Nintendo in May to get it fixed.
How likely is it that they'll upgrade the firmware themselves?

Hmm, crazy stuff going on between the homebrew guys and the 'warez' guys (note, i see them as two distinct entities...one using the other for self-gain..I think you can figure out who is who!)
Anyway, regardless of all this, I do believe the 'problem' will still go on.
I won't be updating until I get a "starfall" like app working on the upgrade. So, I shall stick with 3.2U =P (If there is a way to keep me at 3.2, let me know!)

Can someone please help me decide what to do re: updating to 4.0, using waninkoko's firmware updater 4.0 or doing none of the above?
My Wii is 3.3U right now and I have HBC, GeckoOS, MPlayer and a few emulators installed.
Whatever I do, I would like the things mentioned above to continue working even after I update.
So, what should I do? Thanks for any help

All 3 of those (and most of the emulators) will continue to work regardless of how you update to 4.0
update on usb loader, yes i know this is not a good place to talk about it, but you can dump games on usb drives now
this is work great for the wii emulator because there have no way of launching wii games from my dvd drive on my computer
dont care what people say, i wanna play brawl and okami and 1080p
and now that my brawl save doesnt work, there's probably a better chance getting my save file on the emulator anyways

Well Marcan and bushing did say they have plenty of other exploits that still work, but haven't been released yet. I'm pretty sure they will end up releasing one later on that will allow 4.0 users to install HBC. If you're really worried I'd just hold off the update for a while longer.Mejilan said:
Don't think a workaround just for the shop will suffice this time around. Some of the new shop functionality ties directly into the new firmware functionality (such as downloading directly to SD).
Yeah, I know that they have more exploits "banked" so to speak. I'm just being paranoid. And... hold off? Didn't Super Punch Out just hit the VC? *cry cry*

I'm also in the same boat, can't even connect to the shop to download some of the games I deleted for space. Would love to have Punch-Out as well, but I won't even think about updating with Excitebots only 3 weeks away and no PAL date in sight

Hmm, I updated my HBC prior to updating to 4.0 (I was on 3.3U) and everything was working fine.
Went on the shop channel last night (after hearing from my friends that they couldn't get it to load) and it worked fine as well, actually I bought Dracula's Curse with some leftover Wii points I forgot about.

Why would that be taboo? We freely discuss HDloader on this forum, this is the same thing, and just as HDloader was awesome, as is this. Waninkoko delivers!

marcan basically said if you have HBC and DVDx installed and you want to use the SD card thing to go ahead. I did it. It's glorious, I have 1223 blocks free on the wii and 57 989 on my 8GB SDHC card.

While I'm not about to ban discussion about Waninkoko here, the things he's done has been rather unsavoury, especially of late. marcan talks a bit about it here.

Not actually that important

Not likely if you don't ask them to keep your savestates and VC/WiiWare games.
And check out the related Marcan article posted over hackmii:

Basically: As always Waninkoko is ripping other people homebrew work in order to made it into a piracy solution meanwhile getting a lot of money from it.
And having his personal data all over the internet with photos and everything is not gonna help him if Nintendo goes to catch him. Idiot.

This thread probably should be removed.
Not that easy piracy will hurt the Wii any more than it hurt the PS1 and PS2.

There's no exploits to put the HBC back on your Wii if you've upgraded to 4.0 yet, right?

listen to the mad man
Best part about Waninkoko apps: They're explicitly for-profit. Gotta love in-app advertising.
I'm normally the first to flip at some moron saying "homebrew is piracy", but in the case of the Wii scene, it really has fragmented into two groups. Twiizers are interested in hacking the Wii to enable legit homebrew. Waninkoko is interested in piracy. There's no two bones about that.
Obviously there's a legit reason to download this app--to play your own backups. But unlike most cases where I really believe piracy is an unfortunate spinoff of homebrew, this is a case of an app made by a pirate for pirates. Hopefully anyone using it here is not a pirate.
dreamcast had a 5 tie ratio at the end of its lifespan. not good by any means, but hardly a wasteland of piracy.

The big and possibly only important question is will it help alleviate the constant in-game loading freezups in House of the Dead: Overkill.
