wii 4.2 homebrew fix
Posted: Fri Jan 08, 2010 2:54 amOK well here is a pack complete with a guide to get your wii with system menu 4.2u running homebrew it worked for me i am now playing games from my flash drive Don't use this if you bought a wii with 4.2 pre installed it will not work.
here is the guide included with the pack the link will be after it
1. format your SD card to FAT32
2. copy the content of "hack pack 4.2 sys menu 11122009" onto your sd card and click the sd card icon on your wii menu, it will load up the banner bomb hack, press continue then install hbc and DVDX, for bootmii press prepare sd card then install bootmii as boot2 if possible if not install it as an iso.
3. (creating a NAND backup) (this needs a sd card with 600mb free load homebrew channel, press the home button on your controller and select "launch bootmii" you will have to use the d-pad on a gamecube controller to navigate through this menu. go over to the icon of the gears and press A, then select the icon of the green arrow going from the chip onto the sd card. wait until it has finished the backup and the verification and then press any button to finish, back up the files that are on your sd card now to your computer in-case you need to reset your wii to an eairlyer state (this will solve 99.9% of bricks and makes it so you can downgrade from any future updates)
4. format your sd card to FAT32 and copy the content of "uninstall_stub_3_dogeggs" onto it, run homebrew channel, press the home button on your controller and press "launch bootmii". when the wad manager loads press A, choose "wii sd slot" press A, then select "iso249.wad" press A, then select UNINSTALL WAD and press A
5. format your sd card to FAT32 and copy the contence of "install cios249" onto it, run homebrew channel, press the home button on your controller and press "launch bootmii". wait untill the ios installer loades then press left on your wii d-pad untill it sias "do not reload iso", press A, press A again. if you have your wii hooked up to the internet choose "network installation", if not select sd install.
6. now your 4.2 wii is homebrew friendly, after you do all this i would recommend making another nand backup so that you have one before the hack and one after, to do so format your sd card to FAT32 and copy the contence of "hack pack 4.2 sys menu 1122009" onto it and place it into the wii, you will need to press the sd card icon on the wii menu again and load up the installer, go to bootmii and press "prepare sd card" this will give it the necessary files again, without them bootmii wont load, then just repete step 3.
7. (optional) if you want to use the usb backup loader or want to load backups from disk just format your sd card to FAT32 and copy the content of "hack pack 4.2 sys menu 11122009" and choose "usb loader GX" for usb loader and "neogamma r7" for disk backups.
8. (optional) if you want neogammer or usb loader as a channel open up the homebrew channel, open wad manager and install the respective wad(s)
WARNING: if you load your nand files to get your wii to a former state back up all of your game saves and channels as they will be reverted to the point that you made thenand back up.
