Wii Coverfloader
Im a bit of a computer geek and i have softmodded my wii. It has the HBC on it with system menu 4.2.unfortunatly there are some things that are kind of confusing me. For instance the cIOS required for coverfloader and the wad manager and what not.i have attempted severl guides on how to do this but im not terribly sure what system menu update they did it under. What im wondering is for the wad manager which one should i use that will work with my update and what cios should i use to install before installing coverfloader and what version of coverfloader is compatable with 4.2 if any. Thank you guys very much for any repsonses.draikem. Hi thanksSo should I install both the channel wad and the forwarder wad with ios 249 or channel with 36 and forwarder with 249?Do i create a folder called 3d in the root of the sd card?On the site to get covers, i clicked on search and what the fffff is all that?
And all those other box's?Cheersboth needed to be ios 249,but if you have installed the full channel you dont need the forwarder or the coverfloader folder on the sd cardthere will already be a folder called 3d in usb folder on sd cardwhen you go for your covers click search then title entype game you wontwhen its found on the righthand side there will be artwork textunder that is ccffdd you want f for full cover. Coverfloader will play your backups you just need to get your setting right for each game and then save them,there is a 002 fix in settings,and some games need to be launched with 222 or 223,bit of a ball ache but once you get it running properly youll be well away,and its so much better looking interface than uloaderOh yeah totally agree it is a better interface than uloader and the ones i have got running yes i agree was a ball ache to setup, keep switching wii off and firing backup again, keep changing the settings until one works.So how do I change to 222 or 223?CheersM9G.
Try swapping this boot.dol for the one you have in coverfloader,should give you extra optionsThanksis this the boot from 1.2? As it looks exactly the same as the one I already have.I dont see any options for changing to 222 and 223, however I do see this option in uloader.I have got most of the games working by changing to fix002 in optionsjust got 2 or 3 not working no matter what settings i change and even changed them in uloader to see if they make a difference in coverfloader but no different. Strange they work in uloader but not coverfloader.Also the little padlock in the corner of the settings in coverfloader does this lock the settings or does it do something else?Is there a database anywhere of games that will work in coverfloader and what serrings they need?
If not then rekon it might be a good idea to get one goingM9G. Thanksis this the boot from 1.2?

Hi all, i purchased a second hand softmodded wii. We've played a few games without any problem but with 1 my kids desperately want to play I keep getting the error 002 message.
Im nervous as all hell to update the coverfloader that's already installed but I'm going to give it a go. Here's hoping hey. Thanks for the uploader.:cheer:look here Digital Kaos - Downloads - usb loaders (download file grab the coverfloader boot.dol and swap it for the boot.dol in your coverfloader folder of sd card easy and no risk. I have a wii that has been soft modded for nearly 2 years - i swapped the boot.dol file to try to achieve game play on some newer games after receiving a black error screen once coppied to the HDD the original boot.dol was only 457KB the replacements i have tried are twice to 4 times larger. Having reinstalled the original boot.dol to the SD card the same problem exists inthat now it just black screens as soon as coverfloader tries to goto the covers screen.
Has it become stuffed. I understand it is very old but is there somtyhing i have missed with copy and replace or???
NOTICE: I just updated the instructable, if there are any errors, tell me. I will be editing my instructables for the next week or so.The first version of this instructable was extremely outdated and the DVDs were really annoying.In this version, you will be loading ISOs from you SD Card, USB Stick, or USB HDD.P.S. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WII OR WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO WITH IT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR CONSOLE OR ACCESSORIESAce - If your gonna add to the instructable please use proper capitalization, grammar, line spacing, etc. Each step has an outline of what needs to be written there.
The outline can be erased once you finish writing that stepWhat you Need:Separate SD Card -or- USB Stick -or- USB HDDHomebrew Enabled Wii (go to enable it for homebrew)Computer with SD Card Reader.Please note that you will probably not need a 4.7 gigabyte storage device to hold one game. This may come as a shock to those of you who have messed around with ISOs for awhile, but a game like Wii Play is only 0.09 gigabytes. No I didn't mess up the decimal. The extra stuff that makes the ISO 4.7 gigabytes is sheared off and you get a cISO, or a compressed ISO. Wii Sports is only 0.3 gigabytes. Other games with more textures and story play are bigger, like Metroid Prime 3, which is 4.1 gigs. Supersmash Brothers Brawl is 6.4 gigabytes because the disc is dual layered.
If you use a WBFS manager to copy over your ISOs you will see an 'estimated size'. I saw this size and almost fainted lol. My prediction of 25 games for 80 gigabytes of space shot up to 50+. I'm telling you this so you dont go overboard shopping for a 32 gigabyte flashdrive. If you have one of the older ipods with alot of free space, say about 10 gigabytes (you can do this with less, but i like 10 gigs), you could partition it off and store the cISO wii games on the Ipod itself! I will discuss this further in step 5. Unzip CoverFloader-v1.2.zip-1b.
Copy the CoverFloader folder into the SD://apps/ folder2. Unzip It-2b. Copy the Cios Rev 14 folder into the SD://apps/ folder3. Unzip It-3b.
Coverfloader Wii How To Download
Rename WAD-Managerv1.4.dol to boot.dol-3c. Make a folder in the apps folder on your SD card called WADManager-3d. Copy boot.dol to this WADManager folder4. If you Have no internet Connection on your wii, download -4a.

I would reccomend Network, but there are the inevitable few who do not have their wii hooked up to wireless internet. You will need to get the IOS38-64-v3610 wad from the download link in step 2 and it should already be in the root of the sd card.
Select wad installation if you have no internet access. Once the program is finished, restart the wii. This is optional if you are using the CoverFloader1.2-Forwarder.wad file, but it is still recommended.If you are using the CoverFloader1.2.wad this is absolutely necessary.1.

Put the usb drive in one of the 2 usb slots in the back of the wii and launch cover floader from either the forwarder channel or the homebrew channel. It will say no WBFS drive found, press 2, I think, to format.
You want to format. You can now move on to the next step to figure out how to add games to the wbfs drive.Option 2: on computerUse this option if you want to partition, or divide, the hard drive into 2 or more sections.

You will need to repeat the cover downloading process, but instead it will say download 3D covers.Extra 3: Ocarina Cheat CodesOcarina codes are the equivilant of gameshark for the nintendo 64.
