Hi. I have a PAL Wii with BootMii/Boot2 and I autoboot it to load Uneek from a USB stick with a virtual NAND.
I also have a WODE, and I prefer playing on the Wii using the combination of Uneek and the WODE to load my games up on the Wii.
Although there are some things I can do myself without homebrew, such as have alternative setting.txt files for the system menu to change between USA and PAL with a .bat file, I wanted to get cheats working in GeckoOS for a game I was playing.
I tried running GeckoOS from the Homebrew Filter installed on my virtual NAND, as well as a channel injected with the GeckoOS DOL file. Both result in a black screen and it doesn't load.
I know it is possible to make a save game on the Wii, copy it to the PC, use FE100 to extract the savegame and then put in the savegame files from the virtual NAND and repack it to put on the Wii - that way I can get my virtual NAND savegames back onto the Wii, from where I can apply cheats in GeckoOS and save them, transplanting them back onto the virtual NAND.
However, with this particular savegame, FE100 freezes, leaving me stuck with playing the savegame I am a number of hours into on only the virtual NAND.
I really wanted to cheat in this game - it is an RPG (Arc Rise Fantasia) and I felt like doing some EXP cheats to spare me the time of grinding for EXP for hours and hours.
I doubt this can be made to work with uneek, but I figured it is worth a shot just to ask if you could make it work with uneek.
Great homebrew and thanks so much for all the work that has gone into it and all the cheats as well :)

I think the preferred method of hacking using UNEEK/SNEEK is to obtain a kenobiwii.bin file and use the remote debugging implemented in the newer releases of UNEEK/SNEEK, this requires a USBgecko, but it beats nothing.
Why don't you just use the original copies of the games if you want to play using cheats?
EDIT: I am wrong, see post below :)
If you want to use GeckoOS with UNEEK/SNEEK NAND, try the UNEEK/SNEEK of release r154 or earlier, and
see whether you still get the black screen or not (assuming you are using UNEEK/SNEEK
of later release).
And to run cheat codes in the UNEEK/SNEEK set-up (release r169 or later), just follow the steps shown
in this link (and I think you only need to use USB Gecko in case you want to run the debugger, like WiiRD):

Hope that helps.
I've noticed the newer versions of sneek are not compatible with GeckoOS. Using the exact same NAND, GeckoOS would boot in a much older version of sneek, but the same app would not load under the newer versions.
Thanks for the instructions, conanac. Will try it later on the latest sneek.
