| NOTICE |
|
| This homebrew application makes permanent changes to the Wii's NAND, thus, this application should be used with caution. It is recommended to have a NAND backup with either BootMii as boot2 or Priiloader with BootMii as IOS installed before proceeding with the usage of this application. |
StartPatch is a homebrew application that patches your System Menu v4.0, v4.1, or v4.2 in a similar fashion as StarFall. It is based upon Menu Patcher by Isaac356.
Brick Warning
In the unlikely case that you lose power during patching process, you will brick. This will only happen if you lose power while the patches are being applied, and as this is a quick process, there is small risk of bricking. However, if you do brick, no one is responsible. There is no warranty with this app. You should take a BootMii NAND dump and have BootMii installed as boot2 (if possible) as a precaution.
Non-Brick Related Note
I have only tested the 4.0.4 USA version and cannot say if others work. I can now confirm that StartPatch 4.1 NTSC-U does work mostly. v4.2 has been tested too!
People will be asking "Why do other regions get higher versions than USA?"
Because the 4.0.4 is the version that works. I have heard about 4.0.6 not copying saves correctly but 4.0.5 (and 4.0.4) do have the correct versions for removing copy protection flags. Also, there is no 4.0.5 for USA that i know of.
Also, some of these hacks don't play well with preloader's versions (same values). So you must either turn off preloader's version or startpatch's version.
Example: Preloader can't have "press right on GC pad" while StartPatch has that same hack on.
Features
- Disable HAXX, DVDX, RZDx Checks - Disables the System Menu from blocking Homebrew.
- Block Disc Updates - Blocks updates, which have been embedded in Discs.
- Region Free Wii Games - Forces your System Menu to play all region games in your Wii's region.
- Region Free Channels - Allow installation of any region Channels.
- Region Free GC Games No VM Patch - Removes region restrictions on Gamecube games.
- Remove NoCopy Protection (Need To Install ALL Five) - Removes the Save File Copy Protection, which prevents Save Files from being copied to SD Cards.
- Move Disc Channel - Enables the Disc Channel to be moved.
- No Menu BG Music - Removes the System Menu's background music.
- Recovery Mode 4th GC DPad UP (Need To Install BOTH) - Allows you to enter the Wii's Recovery Mode easily.
- Remove Diag Disc Check - Remove Diagnostic Disc check.
- Auto-Press A At Health Screen - Automatically presses "A" for you at the Health Screen.
- Replace Health Screen With Black - Instead of seeing the Health Screen, it shows a black screen.
- Force Disc To Use IOS249 - Forces Discs to use IOS249.
Installation
Just run the app through the Homebrew Channel, and select which hacks you would like to apply by pressing "A". You can uninstall the hacks by pressing "B". After you select the ones that you like press the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: If there are multiple patches for the same hack you must install ALL of them.
For instance:
- Remove NoCopy Protection 1/1
- Remove NoCopy Protection 1/2
- Remove NoCopy Protection 1/3
- Remove NoCopy Protection 1/4
- Remove NoCopy Protection 1/5
Why Not Preloader?
Because this won't let the disc spin forever in the the drive.
- Preloader doesn't do that anymore Xuzz 05:11, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
However if you use Preloader for auto-booting to the HBC then sorry, this is for System Menu hacks only.
Requirements
- A way to launch homebrew
- A cIOS rev12 or higher installed for v4.1, v4.2
- A trucha enabled IOS 36 installed for v4.0, v4.1, v4.2.1
