i installed HBC WAD MANAGER NEOGAMMA cISO ok my HBC will update through hackmii then when it restarts it wont update its in some loop so ill download a new HBC that should fix that my question is this

i want to play burnt copies games on a dvd but with no luck i used IMGBURN on x4 speed but i used dvd+r and red i have to use dvd-r help my kids r kicking off on me to get it working and im trying to look like a cool dad H E L P thanks

As for the .wbfs format question – I’ve never used it to transfer games; Instead I convert them to either .iso or .ciso (ciso is preferred as it means the ISO size doesn’t have to be the full 4.7GB if the game doesn’t use it) and then install from that format, which has always worked fine using Wii Backup Manager.

I wrote up short article about wbfs file conversion here which might help.

If you haven’t updated using official firmware, then maybe try a different version of WAD Manager or re-download another copy from another source in case your version is corrupted.

There’s lots about this on google (i.e. wad manager “ret=-1″, including this rather clunky solution, but in the comments a guy says he fixed it by just using another wad manager.

Hope you get it sorted!

Confused???

- Take your Wii around to a mates house with a working network connection and do it there,

- Try to cut the router out of the equation. If you have a modem which connects to a router which then connects (either wired or wirelessly) to your devices, you might be able to go directly from the modem to the Wii, bypassing the router. Although for this to work you might need to connect the modem to the Wii with a crossover cable, rather than a piece of normal ethernet. If you don’t have a crossover cable you could either make one (if you’re feeling brave), or if you’ve got an ethernet hub lying about you could put a straight cat5 (ethernet) cable from the modem to the hub, and then another from the hub to the Wii.

Cheers!

Nope, but 10 seconds on google says that the fix is to assign a static IP to your Wii, or disable your router’s firewall. Or both.

If you have to disable your hardware (router) firewall, then make sure you’re running a software firewall on any PCs connected to the router (or better still – just disconnect everything apart from the Wii, get the Wii connected and working, install IOSs as needed, then re-enable router firewall and re-connect any PCs you have).

Another thing you might want to check is that your router is running a DHCP server (i.e. it’s handing out IP addresses) – if it’s not, then you might consider making it (i.e. enabling the DHCP on the router). No valid IP address == no connectivity. As a final resort, depending on the router (but most routers are able to do this), you can find out the MAC address of the network card on the Wii, and then force the router to hand out a specific IP address to the Wii, and then assign this specific IP address from within the Wii as the address the Wii should use (i.e. the address that will be stamped on the TCP/IP packets the Wii is sending & listening-for).

Please don’t ask me how to enable/disable DHCP/Firewalls/Static-IPs on your specific make and model of router – this is something you’ll have to find out if you’re not sure how to go about it.
