Error #002 Again; Sonic Colors not loading

[CodedDamage]

Hello. I didn't know what else to do, so, I joined because I just got codes for Sonic Colors and I wanted to start playing it today.

Yeah... that was denied.

Here's some background information...

I read on this forum, before I joined, that the PAL codes for Sonic Colors found here:

http://geckocodes.org/index.php?c=SNCP8P

Also work for the NTSC US version of the same name. However... a couple of things happened before I was able to try out the codes.

First of all... my Homebrew Channel asked me to update, I thought "Why not?" and did so. I believe it is now Version 1.0.8 or something?

However... when I attempted to load the game with my Gecko OS version, it said "No SD codes found" then, it gave me a blue screen saying Error #002. This happened before with another game, however, I do not remember which game that was.

Also... do not worry... I do not have Wii Version 4.3. Honestly... I don't know what version Wii I have. I haven't updated in FOREVER because I always thought updating would delete my Homebrew Channel and I didn't want that because I want to be able to use codes on my Nintendo Wii games, because, honestly, I suck at video games and, for the most part, need codes to help me out in beating the games I have. However... I DO have a PS3 as well, as well as PS3 games, but, that's not the point and that's another story.

So... I suppose this topic has several purposes:

1. Did I screw myself by updating my Homebrew Channel?
2. What am I doing wrong?
3. The version of Gecko OS I have is a 002 fix v3 by someone named Nuke. Do I need to update my Gecko OS? If so... what version do I need? Where can I find it? Can someone provide me a link to where I can download it or whatever?
4. I AM using an SD card for the codes. As well as using a code manager I got a long time ago. It has worked previously for all of the other Wii games I have played. However... this was before I updated my Homebrew Channel. If you need to know more information about my SD card, how I put the codes on it, or whatever, just ask.

So... yeah... I just do not know what I am doing wrong. Am I screwed? I would not be surprised if I am. Also... maybe this board is wrong? Maybe the PAL codes for Sonic Colors DON'T work for the US version? Can someone clear that up for me?

I just really need some help here. I suppose I could just quit using homebrew and try to play games normally without codes, but, I REALLY don't want to have to turn to that.

I just REALLY need some help here. So... can someone help me out here? I'd really appreciate any help I could receive for this.

Thank you.

First of all, update Gecko to 1.9.3.1. (look at the top of this page at the news section for the link)
For getting your codes I suggest Accio Hacks, it can download the codes and lets you manage them on your wii. (internet connection is needed on wii)

[CodedDamage]

You know for a minute... I thought I solved the problem myself.

Because... in my codes... for Sonic Colors' ID... I put SNCP8P, however, that's the PAL game ID, whereas the US ID is SNCE8P.

However... that was denied as well... I still got the Error #002.

Also... can you tell me where I can get Accio Hacks and how to install it?

I'd really appreciate help with that as well...

Thanks again.

Follow the link in Romaaps post, and look at the right of the page. Click on download.

You then can extract it to your desktop using Winrar (I do anyway). Drag the file into the 'apps' folder on your SD card. Make sure the boot.dol, meta.xml and another file (can't remember its name) is in there, otherwise it won't work.

Hold on.

When I tried to use the codes it stated the follow:

"This game requires IOS 56. Install IOS56-64-V5405.wad?"

Yeah... I didn't understand one bit of that.

What is this? Should I install it? If not... how do I avoid it?

Ugh... it's like when one problem is solved... another one comes up.

:'(

There's an I0S installer somewhere, but I can't remember. I think it offers you the ability to download that I0S. Just put it in the apps folder after following the instructions in my last post.

I'll try and find the installer for you :P

^^^So... where is it in that link? I looked through it and did not need anything about IOS.

Or... is IOS in the Accio Hacks download?

Sorry for being such a bother... I just don't know anything about this at all... obviously...

In the 'patching I0S36' spoiler. If this doesn't work, all I can say is google it.

[WiiPower]

If the game wants IOS56, just install the latest IOS56. There's no patching, trucha, or whatever required. I would use NUS downloader to grab an IOS56 wad from nintendo's servers, and then install it with WAD Manager, or the wad installer from WiiBrew.

You get 002 error if:
- you try to use a wrong IOS. Like with the old Gecko OS that always used IOS36 for all games.
- you use the correct IOS(current Gecko OS), but the game wants a higher version than the installed one.

Keep in mind that you don't loose anything by installing the latest version of any game IOS, Ocarina codes and everything will still work.

Thanks WiiPower. Kinda what I was trying to say, but I got a little side-tracked...

@doomkaiber001

Well... it said IOS 56, not IOS 36, if I installed IOS 36... wouldn't I still get the prompt about installing IOS 56?

@WiiPower

How would I go about doing that? You're going to have to explain it a little more in-depth. What is NUS downloader? Where do I get it? What is WAD Manager? Where do I get it? How do I run these programs on my Wii?

Because... I'm afraid to just click "Yes" when it asks if I want to Install IOS56-64-V5405.wad on my Gecko OS menu when I try to load Sonic Colors.

[doomkaiber001]

There is more than just 1 I0S on there.

[CodedDamage]

I'm afraid I just don't see it.

I guess I'm blind... sorry...  :'(

Mind helping me out here? Please? Again, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
