Does anyone know how to get XCXGecko working on 5.5.1?

"Since this tool requires pyGecko to run, it is NOT compatible currently if your Wii U is above firmware 5.4
again, this tool will NOT work if your Wii U is running firmware 5.5 or 5.5.1"

 

[Pancakes R Us]

You can either repeat the primary or leave it as 0.0.0.0

Thanks.

Re. the DS game stuff...I don't own any DS games on VC. Is it worth quickly picking something up from the eShop, like Brain Training, so I can take advantage of the rom injection? Before Nintendo takes anything down or makes it difficult to do so...?

 

[KingWool]

Thanks.

Yes do it now...follow the guide I wrote.

 

[Boney]

Subbed, I love you guys. Let me see if this finally allows me to play my beloved copy of Mystical Ninja without having to take my N64 out of the closet.

I don't think it would save though right? Or do Wii U supports save states on n64

 

[Robin64]

I don't think it would save though right? Or do Wii U supports save states on n64

Yeah, it does save states. So while you couldn't use the game's own saving mechanic, you could use those instead.

"Since this tool requires pyGecko to run, it is NOT compatible currently if your Wii U is above firmware 5.4

I was reading on GBATemp that some people got it working on 5.5.1. Or except I read it wrong.

 

[Dambrosi]

So, no help? Can nobody tell me what's going on and how to fix this?

loadiine.ovh/ just freezes at a white screen for me.
I'm on 5.4, does it only work for 5.5.1?

yeah, 5.5.0 or 5.5.1 so says the website.

Are you sure? Because it's a white screen with an error for me too. Error code 112-1006 - Could not display page, it says. Maybe Nintendo saw this thread and blocked it?

Edit - I'm on 5.5.1E.

Seems later in the thread people figure stuff out, yeah.

"You dont need to launch pygecko if you just launch loadiine, you can launch it, and go into GX2 settings, enable pygecko there, and exit out of MiiMaker, launch the disk and voila, you got TCP enabld."

Ok I'm going to try this now with the disc version and loadiine.

 

[hlhbk]

If I do this is it still safe to buy items from the eshop? Will the console get banned?

 

[Choppasmith]

Tempted to do this with the Dragon Quest titles. How do I go about dumping my own DS titles?

Quoting for the new page.

I'd like to know this too. I have one of those flash carts where I ripped DS games for my DS Lite, but I haven't used it in AGES.

 

[KingWool]

It's safe. The Wii U thinks you are using Mii Maker. No.

 

[rekameohs]

You'd need an original DS (not DSi or 3DS) and a DS flash cart, or external hardware.

Unsure, sorry. I have the same firmware you have and everything went fine


Btw, I am experiencing something weird: once I run through the website I see two Homebrew launchers icons... wtf?
The second one actually seems to be Loadiine, but why is it shown with the same icon and name as the HBL? Did I miss some icon file somewhere?

Does you loadiine folder contain the proper icon and meta xml files? If those are missing, it might just use defaults.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Yes do it now...follow the guide I wrote.

Is that your guide in the OP, and if not, can you link it please?

 

[Aeana]

You can use a DS Lite also.

[Fou-Lu]

I never realized how far Wii U homebrew had come. I am thinking it might be worth the trouble to play my copies of the DS DQ games on my Wii U.

 

[jrush64]

"You dont need to launch pygecko if you just launch loadiine, you can launch it, and go into GX2 settings, enable pygecko there, and exit out of MiiMaker, launch the disk and voila, you got TCP enabld."

I downloaded the loadiine gx2 app from the loadiine.ovh . I cant find the settings to enable pygecko there. Am I using a wrong version of the app?

 

[daxgame]

It is indeed missing them, yeah. Where are they?
I downloaded Loadiine from here (it's the latest nightly), was it a mistake? I have only the elf file.

That's all you need, the other pieces is just fluff

 

[daxgame]

Okay, but where are the icon and the meta.xml file then?

Edit: nvm sorry found them, they were in the stable version in case anyone else needs them.

 

[Robin64]

Fluff or not, it's nice to have it looking right

Download the latest stable version from here. Use the icon.png and meta.xml from there, but continue using the .elf file you already have. This old one won't work in 5.5.1.

Thanks. I take it that the PC bit isn't possible on OSX? (the dumping part, anyway)

 

[Platy]

Anyone have a full list of DS game codes to use with Loadiine ?

AdvanceScene gives me some IDs, but the one that worked with Ghost Trick was [AXMW84] that is nowhere to be found there

 

[deleted]

Finally! That's pretty amazing!

Has anyone tried Bomberman 64 yet?

And do I have to load the site everytime I want to play one of my injected games? Haven't tried the whole thing yet, my Wii Us out of reach atm...

You load the site once and then the exploit runs until your Wii is turned off or rebooted.

Once you load something via the homebrew channel, you can exit to the home menu and then simply accessing the Mii Maker takes you back.

They can be literally anything as long as they are four letters and then 01. Eg. [XXXX01]. Just make up your own.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

I can't seem to connect to the eShop. This seems to have happened after I switched the DNS setting to the one recommended in the OP.

My secondary DNS is set to 000.000.000.000.

I'm getting error code 105-4207, which is explained here:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wf...?error_code=105-4207&system=Wiiu&locale=en_US

It says that it could be to do with Nintendo's network status, but the status page says it's fine:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/network/en_na/network_status.jsp

One of my Runbow update downloads has failed in download management. When I do a connection test in the internet settings, it's fine, no problems.

Any ideas as to how I can fix this / what could be up?

 

[Robin64]

The DNS blocks all Nintendo online services, including the eShop. You'll need to turn that off if you want to get on, which is safe right now... But who knows for how long it will be.

 

[DoctorKitsun]

So, has anyone else tried injecting Heart Gold/Soul Silver? The overworld graphics glitch out on me every time I open the menu or finish a battle and I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried putting it over Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime Hunters, but the problem is still there regardless of which game I put it over.

 

[hlhbk]

It's safe. The Wii U thinks you are using Mii Maker. No.

Will the eshop games stop working if a new firmware comes out?

 

[KingWool]

Thanks. I take it that the PC bit isn't possible on OSX? (the dumping part, anyway)

Not yet. Just Linux and Windows so far

Will the eshop games stop working if a new firmware comes out?

No

 

[Rich!]

Awww yess!

You can get rid of the bloody annoying question mark icon that's on the bottom left of GBA VC!

"Since this tool requires pyGecko to run, it is NOT compatible currently if your Wii U is above firmware 5.4

I have it working. Check the xcxgecko thread on gbatemp. I can't really post the link since I'm on my phone

 

[Spauldingxx]

When you guys are talking about injecting DS games, does this work for 3DS? I would kill to play Majoras mask remaster on the big screen.

No, because there's no 3DS Virtual Console for the Wii U.

Argh, this makes sense. I'll have to switch back to auto to buy Brain Age. I'm down on eShop credit by less than $1! Argh. Need to get on the BST thread to buy some credit.

 

[Dambrosi]

Hi there, I'm Dambrosi and I'm officially an idiot who can't read.

To those who are similarly confused: the url you need to browse to is http://loadiine.ovh, with two "i"'s (so NOT "LoadLine" but "Loadeen", if that makes sense). After that, everything should work fine.

Don't forget to change the Wii U's DNS settings to avoid updates! But beware - you'll lose eShop access if you do!

 

[hlhbk]

Looks like I will try this today. I gotta run out and get a SD card big enough to hold my games. Wish you could use an external USB drive like on the Wii.

Just to verify if you have a game that runs off a disc you are able to dump it and then launch without using the DVD right? My DVD drive has been making funky noises for a couple weeks and I am scared its going to die soon.

Edit - I'm on 5.5.1E.

I too can confirm loadiine works on that fw version.

Try wiping your browser's cache/history clean.

 

[BocoDragon]

What exactly does that DNS setting do?

Allows all internet activity but just blocks system updates?

I think it blocks a lot more than that. You can't access eShop with it.

 

[Captain Europe]

Read my guide. It has a *.bat in it to run it for you.

You need to run it from a command prompt.

Drop to a command prompt, navigate to the folder you've put the file, and then use the following syntax:

titledumper /vol location

Such as titledumper /vol "E:/WiiU/ISO/Mario Kart 8/"

Thanks guys, that worked!


Damn, the 2x internal resolution thing is amazing! Looks great even on a big screen.

[BocoDragon]

^ cool thanks.

Well I changed the DNS, even though I'm not tinkering with homebrew today. I might as well preserve this firmware in case Nintendo nukes all the exploits and 5.5.1 is the way forward to greater developments.

 

[Chucker]

This is glorious.

This was going to be my little group's Game of the Month next month, now I have the best way to play it.

 

[Dambrosi]

OK, so I go to buy Brain Training from the eShop (since the DDD tutorial recommends Brain Age as the go-to DS wrapper app, and Brain Training is the EU name for that game) and the eShop tells me that I purchased it previously, and lets me download it for free! I don't remember buying the game at all, so is my brain desperately in need of retraining or is something else going on? Cool beans regardless.

 

[Honome]

Worked perfect on first try! At least a reason to turn on the wii u after months.

I think it was a free download in Europe, but don't quote me on this.
