I need some kind of "tutorial".

[Kinggamer]

I've read that with WiiRD you can cheat on GCN games and put their style of the codes (xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx instead of xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx). The problem is that i'm new with those things and i don't know what i need and how to install them. I have a Wii (of course), what i have to do if i want to run SSBM (super smash brother melee) in it and using the AR codes that i've wanted or selected ? What i have to do to arrive at this point ? I would like to do the same as the ocarina aplication but with the GCN games and their type of codes (cause ocarina don't recognise xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx format codes and don't let you select).
Thanks.

Decrypt the GCN codes using GCNcrypt, then convert them to WiiRd codetypes using James0x57's GCN AR to WiiRd Codetype Converter. That's all you have to do.

WiiRd won't accept any GCN AR codetypes (neither decrypted nor encrypted), it will only accept WiiRd codetypes.

Thank you very much. With this i will be able to use the GCN AR cheats with ocarina app. in SSBM ?
I have a problem: with the GCN AR to WiiRd cdetype converter, every time i enter a decrypted AR GCN code and click on "conver codetypes" it doesn't convert it because it says the following:

REMEMBER: When you Convert
these codes YOU DO NOT GET
CREDIT FOR THE CODE, it's
the EXACT SAME CODE that it
was for GameCube AR which a
hacker spent his/her time
on creating!!

Can you give me an example please ? Thanks.

Alright, I'll give you an example of one of my GCN codes (from here):

Make sense? If you need further help, I'll try to help the best I can.

[Kinggamer]

Mm, i continuing to have the same problem as i've mentioned above . Can you decrypt these decrypted SSBM codes to the WiiRd format ? (sorry if i annoy you  :P)

Thank you and sorry if there are so many codes  :P. If these codes (once decrypted in WiiRd format) works for ocarina i won't need to buy an action replay !

[biolizard89]

FYI, Ocarina cheats are not yet supported for GameCube games, and the Wii version of GeckoOS does not work with GameCube games yet.  So even if you convert the codes to WiiRD format, you'll need the GameCube version of GeckoOS and a USB Gecko.

If you don't want to buy a USB Gecko, and you just want a free Action Replay alternative, I'd recommend Fuzziqer Software's GCARS-CS 0.9.5.  See http://www.fuzziqersoftware.com.  It's a GameCube homebrew program that lets you use decrypted AR codes (it uses AR code types, not WiiRD code types).  If you're using a real GameCube (not Wii), it also allows you to load new cheats through Ethernet without typing them in on an on-screen keyboard, and also allows you to play a few GameCube games online (supports Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ikaruga, and a few others).  The cheats themselves should work fine on a Wii (assuming you have a way of loading GameCube homebrew).

[Kinggamer]

What i have to do to install and run this ? i don't have the gamecube homebrew launcher because i don't know too how to install it, and i've read that there's a risk to crash the console permanently.

[hawkeye2777]

@Kinggamer: Those are decrypted already (xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx format). :P Also, I didn't realise you thought you could use Ocarina for GC games, you cannot do so like biolizard said. You would need a USB Gecko and a method of loading Gamecube Homebrew to use codes on Gamecube games.

What firmware do you have on your Wii (3.2, 3.3, etc.)?

[Kinggamer]

I have the 3.4 firmware but i'm thinking in formating the Wii to delete this version, because i think that you start with an older version before clicking on "update". I'm getting an action replay, but not the newest version, the one that you can put codes in it  :cool:. And yes, that was my purpose, i'll try anyways.

[hawkeye2777]

That's unfortunate... if you had 3.3v1 or lower, you could 'downgrade' your MIOS to use the old AR on the Wii (I did so myself last night; I have 3.2). If you have a Gamecube though, using that old AR won't be a problem. ;)

[Kinggamer]

Yes, the version of the Action replay is the 1.14 (I bought it online so in a couple of days i suppose i will have it because the product is from USA and i'm from Spain :P). I think there's another of 1.19 version and the newest one that says that works with wii that is the 1.20 version (wich you couldn't add codes).
Once i have action replay, hope it works  :cool:. I remember updating the Wii, but was my brother, so i will format the Wii and i will have an older firmware. Finally, how i can downgrade mi MIOS ? What are the MIOS ?

[Lunar]

I Believe the MIOS is th IOS used to running GCN Games

Correct. Also, here's a quick guide I wrote up last night on how to do it (use at your own risk): http://board.gscentral.org/showthread.php?t=27503

[hetoan2]

just a comment on your tutorial. why delete MIOSv5 and risk losing GC support when you can install MIOSv4 and not delete v5 and still have both working ?

i've done it myself so i know it works, both are in my system and AR works fine.

WUFE is nice for getting the MIOS or just use this app for PC to get the file from nintendo's server:

I couldn't install MIOSv4 without deleting v5. Why? I don't know, but it did work both ways after I did.

Besides, a disc update can always restore MIOS if something goes wrong.
