Couldn't apply any N64 cheat code, with Gecko

[TunaLover]

Hi
I'm trying to apply some cheat codes to Super Mario 64 (VC), I'm using Gecko 1.9.3.1, every time the loader say that the SD codes are applying, but then during gameplay there is no effect. The cheats correspond to the same region as the game NTSCU (NAAE), using AccioHacks app.
Gecko menu screen tells me that it's using IOS249
Tried with: GC pad, Wii pad, default, VBI.

My Wii is 4.3

EDIT: I tried with LoZ:Ocarina of Time, and the same thing, the cheats just doesn't apply even when Gecko say they were applied, or the game simply crush.
It works just fine with my WiiWare titles however.

Any idea?

:confused:

Do NONE of the codes work? Does the game crash at random, or only with certain codes?

And I don't think you should waste your time with different hooks. I tried that in the past, it never made a difference for me.

I had the a similar problem. Make sure that your hook is on OSSSleep Thread.

None of the codes work, and some of them cause game crash.
If people still makes cheat codes for those games that means they works for some Wiis, could be it a problem with 4.3?

[benny3t3]

Well, I would try what cydp3 said since he had the same problem. I hope that works.

If that doesn't work, there is always reinstalling the app.
Weird, not even the new codes work?

No, I can easily use cheat codes for Paper Mario (VC) while being on 4.3

I tried with OSSleep Thread but no luck =(
I download the .gct direct from gecko codes and the problem still there, so it's not problem of AccioHacks.
WiiWare codes and Wii disc games codes work with Gecko, so I doubt it's a problem with the app...
Removed my GCN memory cards, even tried with a Classic Controller and Gamecube controller XD.
I tried with other game and the same thing.

I'm out of ideas guys =(
My console is NTSCU if that help, I will change the language settings to English, hope it works.

EDIT: Language setting change doesn't work $%%"#! arrgghhh =/

Are you using cIOS249? If that so, what version it is?

[YF191]

actualy last night i just figured out how to hack VC games... i use gecko OS 1.9.1.3 i think and i have wii 4.3u. i use acciohacks and all i did was use simple IOS patcher to get IOS36 and everything works fine

[doomkaiber001]

Yeah, install patched I0S36 if you haven't got the launch channel option on Gecko, but I think you might have...

[TunaLover]

I already try with patched IOS36, but no luck... :-\
It's strange that VC SNES codes works, but N64 don't

[doomkaiber001]

I have no idea then... Sorry!

[benny3t3]

Most Ocarina of Time and most SM 64 cheats work for me.

Could you attach a system scan (using system checker(also on Dop Mii)) in a zip file in a post
(hooray for being able to attach zip files now!)

Maybe it has to do with what ios gecko os/Homebrew Channel is loaded with.
Is Homebrew channel installed on ios 58 (default) or ios 35 (alternative)?
You will see it somewhere on the main menu screen of the Homebrew Channel (press the home button on the loader)

Also, maybe try another loader A.K.A. Gecko OS mod (unofficial release that can play GC games as well)

And uhh, I am not sure but try using Wiigators cios 249.

Try installing IOS 36 with a different app. Dopmii and Multi Mod Manager can install patched ios36.


     ------------------------------
ONLY TRY THE BELOW IF YOU HAVE BOOTMII INSTALLED AS BOOT2 AND BOOTMII AS AN IOS AND HAVE A NAND BACKUP
(which I reccomend, look it up, it is easy after you have already hacked your wii, you can skip a bunch of steps)
Now your Wii will always boot to Bootmii which contains an option on the menu to make a backup of your NAND on your Wii, and to load the NAND stored on the SD card, this makes your Wii able to recover to that time you made a backup at ANY time.

So, just in case you somehow manage to brick your Wii (no matter HOW bricked it is) you will always be able to restore it.
----------------------------------------
If you use Dop Mii and have messed with your ios's, then reinstall all applicable ios (using Dop Mii is fine) WITHOUT applying any patches.

For example, any ios that says in the description that it 'is used by some VC and WiiWare games', and while you are at it, and AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A BACKUP AND BOOT2 AND BOOTMII IOS, you can delete any stubs if you feel like it, it doesn't matter as long as you have the backup stuff.



Maybe I will attach a copy of a system scan of my wii, so you can compare it with a Wii that is working properly.

Thanks for your reply, I will try with Gecko OS mod, I have installed 249, I think it's v14, not sure.
And it could be great if you can post your scan too, in order to compare both Wii's, another thing... could you post your settings, for example what cIOS are you using, what version of Gecko. hooks and such?

Thanks again for your time =)

Ah, HBC runs under IOS58.

[benny3t3]

That works too!

Reinstall IOS 36, use DopMii.

In the future though, please put that info into a spoiler (using the 'Sp' button on the top that you see while making a new post and editing using the full edit button (the pencil in the top)

In the spoiler is a list of my ios's and their patches.
In Dop Mii, you can reinstall any ios from the NUS that says it is downloadable (if you have WiFi) with or without each individual patch.
Once again, be sure you have a back up!
Oh, and I did delete some IOS I think... No big deal, they are just stubs. But do not delete all IOS you do not see, because I have never had a 4.3 Wii, so be sure that in the description it doesn't say something like 'used by 4.3 Wiis' or 'unknown use at this time'
