Hi all, I have a wii on version 3.4e that has a wiikey installed and was also softmodded years ago with various ios files that i dont remember.

Am i better just upgrading online to 4.3e and then following a softmod guide to update everything?

Will the ios slots be ok to just be overwriten with new ios files from a new guide?

Thanks in advance for any help

Yes, overwriting cIOS and IOS modules from the guide is recommended. Having a modchip is nice too since you can still boot imports and backups. Do also install PriiLoader and BootMii as boot2 for extra protection against bricks.

Hi, i managed to sort everything out fine ios and system update. I installed bootmii as boot2 and now everytime i boot the wii I have to quit out of bootmii to boot to the normal wii screen. Can this be changed to time out after a few seconds, i have edited the bootmii.ini file and set it to this

# Autoboot delay, in seconds:
# Default is 5
BOOTDELAY=5

but it doesnt seem to make a difference.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi all, just to let you know the bootmii.ini file just needed

AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU

adding to it so it would boot that after 5 seconds

Thanks all

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
