I downloaded neek2o and SNEEK+DI using ModMii, as well region-changed my Wii 2 times (i thought it would be a good idea) and when starting the neek2o WAD, I'm stuck at the "Reloading bootmii IOS!" message yet I didn't wait "that much", probably for 5-8 minutes until I did a force-shutdown. Is this is okay it takes this long to load, and if yes - how much do I need to wait?

(your tool so swag xflak)

The first time launching an emunand with neek, I would avoid using forwarders. Instead, manually make sure the bootmiineek folder is renamed to bootmii, and launch "bootmii" (really neek) from the hbc (or priiloader, or bootmii boot2, etc). The onscreen directions after using modmii to build neek or an emunand describes how to even load uneek without an SD card or bootmii folder (using usbloader gx's features menu). [p.s. Check your sd card first without making any changes, if u see a bootmiineek folder and not bootmii, then the forwarder/app was unsuccessful in its attempt to rename the folder before reloading bootmii ios, meaning the current issue is definitely the way you are loading neek)

First boot of a fresh emunand may take up to 15 min or so, usually there is one long blackscreen, then users are prompted to enter some info like console ID name, etc, then another long blackscreen before the emulated system menu loads. If 10 minutes passes and you haven't gotten past the first blackscreen something probably isn't going right.

Anyway, once you've managed to launch neek, subsequent attempts will be very quick, so u can try loading using forwarders and you'll know almost immediately whether it works or not.

Okay, I renamed the folder using WiiXplorer, and now I have to wait for 15 minutes on a black screen, or on "reloading bootmii ios" screen? Seems like everything is going just like you said (black screen after Launch BootMii)

How did u launch "bootmii"? Iirc It should halt on a blackscreen, not on any screens that's say reloading bootmii ios. First boot of a fresh emunand could take up to 15 min as it is expanding files. During this process you may notice some activity on your USB (assuming it has an activity light or u can hear it working)

Wii Menu > Homebrew Channel > HOME > Launch BootMii. It's been 25 minutes.

Oh and also, I actually copied the armboot.bin file to the bootmii folder with 2 files on the folder (from bootmii itself), and renamed the bootmiineek folder to bootmiineek(with some gibberish after it)

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

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