Here's the same guide except put into a txt file: http://www.hawkeye2777.shockv2.com/guides/run_oldar_wii.txt

the thing is, i don't wanna change my regular mios, so i need to rephrase my question
how do i get the wad file?

I dont particularly wanna look for it on google, because it could be corrupted or tampered-with or something, so is there, either a reliable MIOSv4 wad, or a way to extract it (perhaps the "WUFE" program mentioned in the tut) and inject it into a wad?

Also, just to confirm, I can't use AR with a multi-game disc rite? (GCOS+multiple games on the disc)

[hawkeye2777]

If you have any of the games mentioned in the tut, you can just delete your current MIOS and run one of those games through the disc channel. Then, the game will install MIOSv4 onto your Wii when running the disc updates.

I think i'll just stick to the GCOS method. I have a brother who would most likely mess it up, due to the re-updating from brawl/galaxy, etc.
Thanks for the help hawkeye and 111

I get this message for every single code that i have tried to add so far. I have a version 1.06 AR, on a 3.2 u modded wii.

I have tried the reset hardware option in the menu, but it doesn't change anything
any ideas?

You have to Use the AR Codes posted on Datels website or AR Central,Kodewerx etc or codes that have been created by well known hackers,many I think of which hack the Wii and post codes on this site also. I did notice that you will get this message if you try to string together a couple of different codes...that doesnt work with AR..so if you have a code for Inf Health you cant Combine it with a code for Max Hearts and put them both together...AR wont accept it...each set of codes has to have its label and be entered just like the way they are posted on these websites...BTW...codes from this site wont work unless they are encrypted to an AR format..

[hawkeye2777]

What codes are you trying to use, and for what game?

[Niteblood]

I got a newer version of AR (1.14) and it seems to have fixed itself.
So far i have gotten the Use phazon beam anywhere code to work for Metroid Prime.

I couldn't even get past the (m) code for Metroid prime 2.

I guess the AR disc was just messed up or something.
I'll post if other codes work once i test em out

[hawkeye2777]

It must have been an AR bug then. Well, glad you got that worked out.

[Niteblood]

Goddamn it, its still messing up
I am trying the (m) code for Metroid Prime 2, straight off of the Codejunkies website.

Any ideas?

Also, would there be a way i could put the codes on my SD Gecko from my computer, so that i don't have to type them in? it may just be a buggy AR that wont let me save correct codes. I have checked and rechecked like 50 times, and im typing it in properly. Is there a specific format i need the cheats in, etc.

[hawkeye2777]

Are you using the memory card that came with the AR?

[Niteblood]

I am using the memory card that came with the 1.06 AR, but i am using a downloaded/burned 1.14 AR

The code didnt work on the 1.06 either, but then again, neither did any codes i tried.

I was able to make the Super hookshot code for Windwaker work as well, but i really want to get the MP2 codes working.
If someone could rip me an iso of a more up-to-date AR, so that i could update my hardware w/ the codes, that would make my life a lot easier. The iso's only like 3 or so mb if it's cleaned/zipped

[hawkeye2777]

1.14 is the most up-to-date AR.

Try using one of the Official Nintendo memory cards; the memory cards that come with the AR usually are crap.

[Niteblood]

I only have one GC mem card, does it need to be a clean card?

Also, 1.14 cant be the most up-to-date, because apparently the most up to date one has no code adding function, wheras mine can add codes. Also, on the site it says around 700 games are supported, but 1.14 only has like 170 on it

[hawkeye2777]

Nope, all you need is roughly 2-4 blocks (depending on how many codes you have saved).
