Thank you for the help. I found this in the installer.log file, will this identify if my wii is acceptable to dump games without making any additional modifications?

So far I tried dumping Luigi's Mansion and it matched the database entry.

PS I decided to make a couple small changes to Superdump v1.2 & 1.3

I added

- An image to Superdump v1.2 & 1.3
- Added short description to the main menu icon in the homebrew channel
- Added a longer description to the app once clicked before it's loaded to explain about dumping multiple gamecube discs

Download link - http://www.mediafire.com/?hu01nkmwjox

Just put the icon.png & meta.xml in their corresponding folders and load the homebrew channel to see the difference.

Let me know what you think and if you like if feel free to add it to the main post

@21 ---> it doesn't say anything to me. By the way why don't you install last revision as it's the less baggy?

@22 ---> great, I'll add it as soon as I can test on my wii

I'm kinda new to the wii modding scene so I'm not very familiar with everything yet, I was kinda worried I would lose some functionality if I upgrade the cIOS.

1. So if I install cIOS of rev 19 will that allow me to play the newest games on the market i.e. Super Mario Galaxy 2 etc?

2. Is their any downside to upgrading i.e. losing features that were available in previous versions?

[Rocknroms]

Rev.19 seems to be the best one avaible (with previous versions you'll got some problem with dumps, gmaes, etc. but this one is the more stable). If you got problems you can always uninstal with the tool in the mai package and instal old one.

cIOS rev19 makes bad results and cIOS rev17 is confirmed working please update the guide to suggest cIOS rev17

[Rocknroms]

The guide was not updated yet nor with rev.19 neither with rev.17 as both are not confirmed to work properly at all, a pair of feedbacks cannot confirm anything. By the way your comment is the first one about bad results with rev19, probably you could be right but it seems nobody is really interested to check and leave feedbacks.

Where do we post dumps / confirm?  We start a new topic?

I will use rev 19 with CFG USB Loader and Wii Backup Manager.  I have a d2pro installed.

Start a new topic in the "Dumps" forum. Read the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING" sticky first, and name your topic like other posts.
