Hello!
Please help me before I throw this @#$%$@# computer out the window!! I just got the USB Gecko for my son. I am operating on Windows Vista and when I insert the disk the screen captions are not the same as what I actually see on screen. The computer recognized that there was new hardware and I selected the option of 'Install new Driver Device Hardware" (or something to that affect) it installed the hardware and that was it...no further instructions... I thoght that may have been all we needed to do..so we tried to download the SSBB codes and nothing happened ...
SOMEONE please HELP a clueless mom!!
I would be very grateful!!
Thanks in advance :D
You dont need a USB gecko to use codes by the way.
Are you using WiiRD to upload the codes?
You dont?? What the heck is this thing for?? And yes we were trying to download from Wiird..btw igglyboo my son wants to type you a message.....
hi igglyboo this is heidi's son i just wanted to say that i subscribed to you on youtube(if you are igglyboo which i think you are) and i love the trippy colors hack.
THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP!
hehe, its good to see that people like my work
The usb gecko connects to your wii and acts as a remote debugger for making codes and debugging apps etc.
It can be used for codes but is not required, to use codes alone all you need is a copy of gecko os(runs from the homebrew channel) and the codemanager app.
What you do is, open a text file of the codes with code manager and select the codes you want. Then hit export and make sure your sd card is in your computer. It will put the .gct file(codes) on the sd card.
Then just run gecko os from the homebrew channel and it should apply the codes.

You need to install the Homebrew channel to use cheats and or usbgecko if I'm not mistaking....
Oh yea you do have the homebrew channel installed right?
:eek:
DOHHH!!!
so im guessing we need to install said homebrew channel? You have been so helpful...would you tell us how to install the eleusive homebrew channel?
thanks again!
First off you need a copy of Twilight princess, an SD card, and an SD card reader(something you put the sd card in).
Oh and what is the version of your wii?
Tell me if you have these and then ill go on.
thank you so much..
ok yes we have a copy of Twilight Princess, yes we have an sd card and i can put the card right into the computer. As far as the version of Wii..???...after the serial # on the bottom of the Wii there is a 3 in a box..does this mean version 3?
No im talking about the firmware version, go to you Wii's options and click wii settings, in the top right should be the version of you wii
For example my wii says, 3.3U.
Oh and before we start you should back up anything on that SD card because it will need to be formatted.
thanks iggly..i just read your profile..are you really only 16?!!??? You certainly know your stuff!! I will go check the wii version now...and im guessing to back up our sd card (my sons SSBB data is on it) I put it in the computer and create a file for it?
again I cant thank you enough for all your help :)
Yea, basically just drag and drop the stuff off of the SD card.
ok we have the same version as you..now i just inserted the sd card...i have 2 options..open folder to view files and speed up my system...so i click open folder to view files and i get..private,i click on private & i get Wii, i click on wii and i get 2 folders app & title.... are these the two i drag and drop...if i loose his SSBB data he will NOT be happy.
just drag and drop the ENTIRE private folder onto your computer
DONE!
okay Yoda what next :D
Go to My Computer and right click your SD Card and click format.
Make sure the file system is set to FAT and hit start.
ok formatting is complete..should i close the dialog box?
Yea close it
And 1 last thing before we begin
If you son cares about his twilight princess save game(i bet he does) you will want to back it up to the sd card.
Go to your wii and put the sd card in, go to wii options and Save Data and find your twilight princess save, copy it to the sd card then delete it from the wii system.
Then copy the PRIVATE folder on to you computer again(different place, dont erase the other private folder).
And reformat you SD card when you are done.
im not tryin to confuse anyone but im kinda confused myself when i downloaded homebrew the first time i didnt format my sd card and i had alot of info on it from brawl and everything workd just fine

Same and Austin why arn't you on
your fourm!?!?!
heidi: after you have done all of what igilly boo said look at the bottom of your TP disk It will say the game ID and the some thing like 01 or 02 after that boot up loz TP and select the save file that matches the # on the bottom of the disc then talk to the man. It should pull up a black screen and follow the instructions then after it should load back to the main menu and the homebrew channel on the wii (hope that helped) :P :P also when bootmii comes out ( www.hackmii.com (http://www.hackmii.com) ) install it on your wii :D :D
he never made it past the tutorial in Twilight so he isnt concerned with losing data for this game.
just because i made a forum doesnt mean im grounded there :P and why arent at my forum?
ok then just delete the save and download this file

to run the cheats just look at my above post that talks about downloading gecko OS and code manager
after that you should be up and running
If you have any more questions , don't hesitate to ask :)
and WHATEVER you do DO NOT throw your @#$%$@# computer out the window. :P you kinda need that :P
BIG SMOOTCHES TO YOU :D
the homebrew channel is succesfully installed and my son is deliriously happy!!!!
im going to hold off on the codes for now as i feel my head about to EXPLODE!!!
iggly you are a stinkin genius and thank you for explaining it to me on my level! (that would be the CLUELESS level)
and Austin...thankfully cooler heads have prevailed and the computer is safe (for now...duh-duh-dddduhhhhhh)
I may be back tomorrow if i cant get the codes to work.
