[GUIDE] New Super Mario Bros (NTSC). with D2Pro
As per a request, here is a very explicit step by step for getting nsmb (ntsc) running with a d2pro on 4.1u. Unfortunately it still depends on NeoGamma and is not a direct disc channel patch...somewhat defeats the purpose of the hardmod... anywayyy:
Guide for d2pro users on 4.1u:
Required: blank DVD-R, SD Card, Card Reader, Internet Connected Wii
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Turn Off WiiConnect24 and unplug any GC controllers or memory cards*
*Burn your unpatched NSMB backup image to a DVD-R @ 4x or desired speed*
*Insert it into your wii. Allow it to update your system if it asks you to update. Don't worry, it will not update you to 4.2u* (Can someone confirm this? It only updated me to 4.1, but I'd like to be certain)
***REQUIRED FILES***
IOS53_v5149 WAD: IOS53_v5149.wad.zip
NeoGamma R8 beta7: NeoGamma.zip
SMNE.dol (nuclearda): SMNE.dol.zip

You may now exit to the home screen and eject your sd card.

6) Back on your computer, delete the boot.elf file from the root and create 2 folders in the root of your sd: name one "apps", the other "wad"
7) Download NeoGamma and place the NeoGamma folder into the "apps" folder on your sd
