3.4 Update

[Jassim]

guys i wasnt saying the skip update check will brick your wii i said it would simply make it almost impossible unbricking a bricked wii because you wont be able to install a system menu IF u do brick your wii.

i cant confirm if this is true tho

Are there other ways to avoid the AC update and play the game? currently my wii is 3.2 and i'm not intending to update and starfall sounds a little dangerous  :eek:

Again, Starfall's only dangerous if you install GC region free, which you don't have to, according to hetoan.

Or, boot it in GeckoOS

Thanks for answering :)

Two more questions:
1 So if i boot it in GeckoOS i can play the game like a import game without the need to update?
2 I'm new to homebrew (used the tp hack to get it) and i can't find that much info about Starfall, is Starfall just as easy to use as Gecko and can i keep using GeckoOS after installing?

Thanks in advance

You only need to install Starfall once, then you don't have to run it any more!

Alright, I'm new to these boards, and I need some help trying to get Gecko OS running.
Originally I never ever liked updating my console even before I knew you could do the Homebrew+Gecko OS stuff. So, when I learned about it, I jumped on like a bat out of hell to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Ok, I accidently loaded up my Wii to the current firmware update 3.4
I have Homebrew Loaded, but the problem that remains is, every time I try to install Gecko OS it wont let me. It tells me
"This is not a valid Wii application."

Can you like, not install Gecko OS if you have Firmware update 3.4? If you can though, how would I go about doing it. Cause all it seems to do is stay at the loader, and not install the program at all =(

Make sure in your Gecko OS Folder its not boot.elf it has to be boot.dol

[ShiroEna]

Where can I get the .dol from. My Folder only Had .Elf

[ssbbdude57]

you need a ELF2DOL converter

heres the link: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/ELF_to_DOL_Converter

heres where to put the programs:
1. Download files
2. put elf-dol_fixer and powerpc-gekko-obj copy in the APPS folder of your SD card.
3. Run the program (elf-dol_fixer)
4. All of your apps work on HBC 9 :)

[ShiroEna]

It worked Thank you kindly !! And Happy New Year :3

[ssbbdude57]

Well my Wii fell so the disk drive is busted. I'm gonna have to send it in. Now I can delete the HBC without any problems... But I installed a couple patches. One for the Wii Shop update and one for the Mii Channel update. If I'm correct, updating will remove those patches. Does anybody know if I send in my Wii, if Nintendo would update it anyway? I need to know if I should update and remove the patches.. or not.

Oh also if I DID leave the patches on there, would (or even could) they refuse to fix it or perhaps void my warranty from then on?

[hetoan2]

those "patches" aren't actual patches they're just the neccissary IOS versions and not the entire update that would disable the trucha bug. Nintendo will probably update but don't remove the patches.

Nintendo cannot refuse to fix your wii as long as you have your warranty and you haven't broken it (even though you have technically with HBC) but nonetheless they probably won't care. Also by sending it in you'll get a brand new warranty and you can easily downgrade from 3.4 so there is nothing to worry about.

Okay, my update isn't 3.4 but I can't find any posts for 3.3e . I got my update on Christmas playing Animal Crossing.
My console is Australian.

How could I get my homebrew channel back if I had deleted it from the Wii menu (keeping a backup on SD card.)

What version of the Twilight hack would I need to install the homebrew channel on this update?

Anything else I should know?

Please don't get angry at me, as of right now I'm in panic mode.

If your Wii is at 3.3, you can use the Beta 1 version of the Twilight Hack.  Beta 2 is only for the 3.4 firmware.  Also, on the 3.3 firmware, if you back up the Homebrew Channel to an SD card, you will not be able to copy it back over.  You will need to install it again.
