Metroid Glitch!!!

[James0x57]

Thanks 111, I appreciate the info. I can google that stuff you mentioned because it sounds interesting. I used Gecko OS 1.9.3.1

My Wii is 4.2u and I have HomeBrew 1.8. Not sure about boot Mii version but it is boot 2.

I can't find the door. I'm starting in sector 3 (is there only one place to start there? I don't know..)

edit:
There's no way I can beat that thing that pops up. Found another save with it beat and I found a youtube video of where the door is. However I have no idea how to play whip out that grapling thing. I need more than 3 buttons this is lame.

other save:

edit again, figured everything out, going to get the video now

The game wont boot with that code on, Y.S.

[James0x57]

Oh wait, I have to use that disable write protect I guess... I'll test again. Sorry

Oh wait, I have to use that disable write protect I guess... I'll test again. Sorry

If that doesn't work I noticed something being loaded into that memory address when the game boots, so if the write protection doesn't work you can try putting a small check in it.

Edit:
I just noticed my post was being edited at the same time i was making a edit. :)

Thank you, thomas83lin. I will have to wait for Y.S. to post that (or his own activated one) to geckocodes.

Thank you very very much, Y.S.!!

I will now, finally, make the video and Y.S. will be the first code hacker to get on joystiq AND it will send a positive, helpful message about who we are (hopefully)!!!

[Thomas83Lin]

Good Job Y.S. ;) and yes i agree, Hopefully it does sent a positive message. 

[James0x57]

WIN! It totally worked. I'm uploading to YouTube right now!!!!

email sent to joystiq! *is excited*

I'm late to the party...but I believe I was once corrected on Gecko OS' behavior when playing games that require a new IOS.  Gecko OS will read the new IOS from the update partition of the disc and install it, but it will NOT update the System Menu.  i.e. Gecko OS will always safely update your Wii so that you can play new games.

Re: SNEEK, that's not a particularly pirate-y thing.  It's more like bootmii...a form of brick protection.  I don't see why it couldn't be discussed/linked to.

Finally...awesome that you're showing off the code.  Keep us updated!

[James0x57]

Gecko OS lets me play but the main menu still says "system update" for the disc channel


and I will for sure keep you all updated on it ^^

[dcx2]

Yeah, I think the disc channel will always complain about a System Menu update unless you patch it out with something like PriiLoader.

[111]

Yeah, that's true about SNEEK/UNEEK.  It is not a program that basically just aids piracy, and I find it nice to be able to update to the newer System Menus, and just be able to place an older FS back on the USB device if I don't like it for some reason.  It is one of the homebrew programs that I use the most.  However, I wasn't sure what the rules on it were, since it contains a USB loader as well.  As far as I know, it is not allowed on Wiibrew for that reason.

Also, yes, anytime that your Wii has older IOS/MIOS/boot2/bc/System Menu versions than what is on the update partition of a disc, the System Menu will keep asking you to update until you do.  You have to use something like Priiloader, or the Rebooter function of GeckoOS, to bypass that.
