Added hacks required to run the Wii Backup Disc on 4.0-4.3 #306

Closed Hallowizer closed 2 years ago

Hallowizer commented 2 years ago

In the 4.0 update, in addition to stubbing IOS16, Nintendo made 2 changes to the System Menu to block the Wii Backup Disc: the first change is the addition of a check for 410x together with the RAAE check in BS2 state 9/10 (along with a check for 408x, which I don't think anybody recognizes). The other change was adding code to BS2 state 38 to refuse to boot any disc that requests IOS16, printing This must be a backup disk and showing the "An error has occurred" screen. The hacks added here block these two checks.

Thanks to Master Luma for testing these hacks!

Maybe we need two menus in Priiloader - a "basic patches" menu for commonly-used patches and a menu for advanced patches like these.

why is that?

I don't know, I just feel beginners might feel bombarded by all the patches. doesn't seem like such a good idea now, though.

imo, maybe the hacks do need to be sorted from most used to less used for this reason, but that might be for another time

About that, I think it could be useful at some point to put hacks into non-exclusive categories, such as "Essentials" and "Disable Nintendo's Homebrew Prevention," so it is easier to find a hack.
