IF this can be posted here. Here's the thing. I finally took the plunge and hombrewed my wii using the Jabba the Haxx exploit trick. Installed BootMii and Homebrew Channel. I followed the step-by-step guide from this page Here I've used WAD Manager 1.4, 1.5 & 1.7 and I always encounter the same problem with trying to install WAD's like the Sonic 4 proto. Everytime I try to install a WAD I always get the same error message. I thought it could've been for one game so I tried Sonic 1 as well but got the same message. I'll try my hardest to show you my problem. this is using WAD Manager 1.4 Code (Text): [+] Available WAD files on the device: >>Sonic_The_Hedgehog.wad (11.81MB) [+] Press A button to (un)install a WAD file. Press B to select a storage device I press the A button which gives me the option to install or uninstall. Everytime attempt to install I get this page come up Code (Text): [+] Opening "Sonic_The_Hedgehog.wad", please wait... OK! [+] Installing WAD, please wait... >>>Installing ticket... ERROR! (ret = -2011) Press any button to continue. Sadly my feeble little mind could only think of so many failed options and now I'm in a dead end. I'm using a 4.3E console using the Jabba the Haxx exploit which in turn is in a similar way to the Return of the Jodi exploit. Please guys, I know at least one of you guys must know.
I believe you need to install cIOS and/or reenable fakesigning using Trucha Bug Restorer or DOP-Mii (not the WiiBrew Edition).
Right, I've used Dop-mii and installed 'Yoshi's Story' but everytime I load the game I get a message saying this channel cannot be used. I must be doing something. I've been working on the on and off all day and now it's 2:30 AM. What am I doing?!
The Wad could be of a different region than your Wii? It's a possibility. If that's the case, the best bet would be to install Priiloader, and enable region free in it's settings, or use a program like freethewads, or ShowMiiWads to patch the wad itself to your region. Other issues could be not having the IOS version the channel needs, and in that case, a system update should install all the missing IOS versions. Updating shouldn't ever cause a problem, if you have not edited the System Menu, or System Menu IOS. At worst, you'll have to re-install the homebrew channel and CIOS.
Thanks ever so much guys. I owe you guys a coke. I tested out the Sonic 4 prototype and boy do I regret it! Thanks again!
