[gcmospeada]

yea but he will not release it, so ... anyone else want to hack it?

[fanni]

Who knows he may release it one day if he has a change of heart

Or now that people know it is possible they will start to look into it a bit further

[AceMilo]

Anyone know how this works? It looks like either the disc is installing the vc game. If its based off trucha wouldn't the newest update kill it? Also, doesn't it disappear after a restart?

[fanni]

Yes it appears as though he has managed to add the vc game into an update and has got the wii to instal it to a channel as it would when you download the game

Very clever

Really hope it's released;)

no trucha works with the newest update as I can still play my custom guitar hero songs

[moneydog96]

Trucha fix won't kick in until the next system menu update.

I don't care who he supposedly is. that camera never moves, and it stays frozen on a screen that can easily be edited. until i see it hit the light of day, i call SHENANIGANS!

See, I have hope for the WiiBrew community so people like you won't bring my hope down. :)

[Amyrosie]

Anyways, why would he want to destroy his reputation with a fake video?:rolleyes:

[moneydog96]

To make this video, he would have to had to download the VC game shoot the second part of the footage and delete it. After that he would have to change the time to 5:52 and time it perfectly so inserting the disc, performing the update and doing all the legitamacy checks takes 3 minutes to coincide with the original time of 5:55. Also, it has to be shot in this order because both Wiis are 3.1U. Meaning, he also only has one chance to get the shot right and since update timing isn't exactly measured and posted oftenly it would be difficult to guage. However, it is possible the video was chopped in between one of the paused sequences of the update to ensure the timing was right.

I for one think this is either legit or a well played hoax. Though I seriously doubt someone would go through all that trouble.

Well after all that you was wrong 4 games have now been recompiled as wad files that can be installed as proper VC games

I have tried them all my self and they all work:cool:

[slim19198]

How do you install a wad file?

[Jutter]

with wad installer v1.1

[caleb4god]

This crap might as well be fake. It doesn't work on most consoles, it only works on the three people who have pal consoles...grande.. I call it once again...shenanigans..Until I see it work on MY console this is useless

[duncans_pumpkin]

well its very real it doesnt work on ntsc because no one has released a wad of an ntsc game so f u.

[QuePaso]

Bitter much?

It works, there just havent been any NTSC VC games released. Opera NTSC works on NTSC consoles just fine. How about you STFU from here on out and let the people who arent afraid of sunlight discuss the matters at hand.

[BladeX]

LOL i cant believe peeps are getting worked up about the vc being hacked. not only will nintendo block it but there's a much easier way. get yourself a mod chip, the multi emu disc and download any game you want onto a disc. the games stay on a disc, won't take up wii hard drive space AND you can get any game you want whether it's on the vc or not!! all it's needed to play is a gamecube controller.

have fun with this crap :p

[oltron]

Has anyone seen a ntsc version of these vc rips that would be awesome and I think this is way cool .just wished was ntsc

Exactly....... where the **** are the NTSC VC rips? And while I'm at it......why does Nintendo release Mario Kart to everyone else in the world except the USA and we have to wait WEEKS to play it?

You do realize how very ignorant that makes you sound right? Europe traditionally waits weeks if not months, sometimes years for games after we get them. They're still waiting for rockband and that came out in nov.

[FoxForceFive]

This is real, it works.

I tried Donkey Kong 2 on a friends Wii who has no intention of going online ever.

The reason I didnt try it on mine is cos apparently it alters the wad, & that is something that Nintendo can read online, & therefore could ban you, or similar.

Dunno how true it is, but this is what I've been told:

The reason being is that the information for downloaded VC games is stored inside your Wii. As far as I know, these are kept intact even after you delete the game! This means that some values on your Wii's NAND determine if you can redownload a game or not. The Wii Shop server (most probably) keeps logs of your transactions as well. If the storage inside the Wii and the Wii Shop server does not match up, then Nintendo has real proof that you downloaded the game = ban.

Erm well,nintendo 64 emu isn't that great on any platform or pc so its nice for that,if nintendo would release some more n64 games on VC and i could play them on my 32 inch and not on the pc monitor.

[oltron]

i wasnt trying to upset anyone i was just wondering if anyone had seen these for ntsc yet if they have that would be awesome im assumming they will be soon

[dfpantera]

N64 is not that bad on pc, but i have no clue about VC

[QuePaso]

The main reason this is so popular is because emulation is never perfect, and the Wii will emulate all the systems 100% perfect with perfect controls everytime. With emulators you have settings, configurations, blah blah. Wii just works everytime since they're coded to the exact level from nintendo. Much better experience.

[caleb4god]

Hey Quepaso, go eat a burrito and shut your craw. Until this sees light of day on NTSC, I call shenanigans so suck it.

How do you know that it doesn't work on most consoles, you tried it? Just shut your trap. "Until I see it work on MY console this is useless" Maybe its useless for you, but it might be usefull for others to make it work on other consoles. But you only want to whine about something that's still in development. Go do it yourself and stop whining.

"seriously, do any of you kiddies by that shite?"You call us kiddies while you can't even type proper english? Don't make me laugh 10 year old. Atleast we try and find out. Scared to brick you wii?
And what are you doing here if your just badmouthing everything? Nobody wants to talk to you if you act like a child.

How very true, consider the situation regarding Super Smash Brothers Brawl, we await the release :)

Your totally right, we are still waiting, but copys works fine for me :P.

Also i want to inform that there is a new WAD installer v2. Progress is on it's way.

[panyan1991]

when the wii resets itself, how come you dont see the black screen with the white squares?

[gene0915]

When that happens, people in Europe need to pitch a fit as well. In this global economy I haven't read/heard a SINGLE, GOOD reason why a company can't release a particular game, around the planet, for all regions on the same day.....(give or take a day).

[Gleasonator]

Is it not obvious that this caleb4god kid is posting BS then laughing at your replies? I think he's very aware that he's acting like an ass.

[caleb4god]

gleasonator is a genius... seriously tho, he's totally right...:p I just want some free vc games for the rest of the world, not just europe

[rnelson1415]

No, you want free VC games for you. You've made it obvious at this point that you don't care about "the rest of the world".

Until I see it work on MY console this is useless

[caleb4god]

that's exactly right..free games for me.. it's amazing how easily this thread was jacked.. :p

Back on subject...

A WAD packer has been recently released, and I just tried a friend's packed NTSC Ocarina of Time with no luck (we'll toy around with it, I suppose). I've yet to see any NTSC virtual console channels released, but I imagine that they'll be coming soon.

The wad packer that has been released is very buggy and i would leave it alone for a while as you could easily brick the wii with it

[HUYI]

just had a thorght, can we move the VC games to the SD card, deleting the games from the Wii memory and then when you want to play them again copy them back over? is this possible or does DRM stop you from doing this?

reason i thought about this as it's the same game you are copying over and so on so it will have the same signature, right?

also i installed mario 64 with the name "title.wad" after i installed it i renamed the original file mario 64 Wii pal, when i choose to uninstall this game will i have to revert the filename back to "title.wad" so that the uninstallation will work or can i have the file name as it is now?

[Coop]

I have a pal wii and have just downloaded the opera internet channel and the recent wad installer which is freely available via google, and everything ran fine.

Will try a virtual console game later and report back.

[Sebastian25]

can someone please describe step by step how to install.

I formatted my sd card

made a folder called "wad"

extracted all files from wanis' wad installer v2

and pasted the wad file.

How do I run it?

I'm going to make a quick tutorial right now. I just tried it using the first ntsc game, mario64 and it worked great once I did everything right. Keep an eye on the stickies.

[GalaxyFraulein]

well, first of all it must be mentoined that if the internal memory is nearly full and the wad installer itself wants to install a vc game, there is no check if the game which is going to be installed has enough space left on the internal memory.

if thats not the case the internal memory will kick out of bounds with a pretty damn effect. you have to reset your console to get free memory space. simply erase some channels doesn't raise you counter of free blocks. it will always show 0 free blocks!!!

so be very very carefull - otherwise you have to initialize you wii console.

[ian2k8]

can the vc games be installed off disc?

[roy8846]

when i run the twilight hack , i get an error ( i think its -1) when trying to read the boot.elf. anyone know my problem?? i used acemilo's tut exactly! i tried fat and fat32 on my sd

[capsela]

here's a great video on how a wad is installed

[fanni]

Well things have progressed even more now

There is a new tool out that allows you to inject your own rom into another vc title it has been done sucesfully with Super Smash Bros for the N64.
Also the title in mention is region free as well so that's another first :)

I'm waiting for a goldeneye release


Now that would be something :cool:

I would give a link but it's too a well knowen torrent site which is not allowed to be posted here

[Rage-X]

Well Ive tried this aswell, it works pretty good after needing the Wad Installer v2 since the other one kept breaking down not being able to copy. I got a bunch of VC games working but when I get an error I cant seem to find it on the net.

Something about Error (ret = -1022) Really annoying since I want to play Kirby 64

Also use VC games from your own region since they dont work on a different region, there is a program out there that can change that friizle dizzle something but I havent tested it yet.

if your getting errors when trying to instal then check the vc game as there have been a couple of dud ones released Kirby being one of them

[Rage-X]

how to check? Its weird though I retried it and now it cant even open the file.

[prankster]

Using Zelda : Twilight Princess PAL and the PAL twilight hack in conjunction with Wad Installer v2.1 I have installed successfully the wii opera internet channel as well as a few vc games, donkey kong jr, super mario 64, paper mario and final fight for now, this does indeed work, thanks to AceMilo for the simple tutorial!

Is this true?On one of the youtube tutorials the guy said to turn off wiiconnect24 and all that kinda thing cos nintendo can check the transactions on your wii through some ticket measure and if they see an extra channel then obviously that could lead to some sort of ban/brick/etc

They cannot brick your console, that would be illegal as well as immoral. You bought the wii, they can't destroy your console on purpose or else you could sue. As for banning, there is nothing to ban you from. Every game has their own friends codes and servers so theres no central service to ban you from. Maybe they could ban you from nintendo specific stuff like the store and the channels like news and weather, but not games.

But your main friend code on the console can get banned from getting a hold of the internet, then you're screwed. But nobody knows if they start banning how it will be.

[soulfoot]

if you play the pirate game you may end up swimming in a closed bay (ie no internet) this is no different with pc or xbox and my guess is its only a matter of time for nintendo as well.

sometimes you do get lucky though and from time to time a game may let you online even if only temporarily, but no company (other than those securom and other malware uses) has ever harmed a system because of pirating... that i know of.

[Sebastian25]

did any of you read Nintendo's User Agreement? It states something to the effect that if you're using modifications to your wii, that they can make your console inoperable until the device is removed. That's why games like smash bros (original disc) wouldnt boot on wiis that had simple device drive mods.

Technically it's Nintendo's intellectual property rights so they can brick all they want. They would just have to deal with lose of good-will and possible warranty issues... I dont think they want to go thru the hassle.

Really? So if I invent a new microchip that's being used in your computer, I can come smash it if I want because it's my intellectual property? It doesn't work that way, they cannot intentionally destroy something you own, period. If they did, then they would be open to a class action lawsuit. It doesn't matter that they made the wii, you bought it, you own it, they cannot destroy it. They could potentially turn it off until you removed the chip, but they cannot destroy something you own.

Bet you feel alittle like an ass now don't you? Have more faith next time in the world :D

so is it ok to update from a game, lets say mario kart, with VC games already installed or should we uninstall them first and then update it. Currently have 3.2U with d2ckey ntsc wii.
