Hacking Best Way to Mod Any Wii: ModMii for Windows: Official Support Thread

[XFlak]

try doing windows update or using another PC

 

[Garmo]

i'm already up to date with windows, but i did perform a healthy restart, upon restarting i retried and got the same error, while expirementing with the optional updates to find out which might be causing the problem, basically using the brute force method, it eventually worked. i wish i could come here and tell you what was causing that repeated error, but i got nothing, thanks for actually continuing to follow this thread XFlak, most people give up after a few months, happy 3rd birthday this thread. how shall we celebrate?

 

[itrost]

you have a nand backup?

Yes, I have it. But I don't know how to do restore, because I can only enter Priiloader or System menu and I can't move to any menu item.
I see option BootMii in Priiloader, but can't select it.

 

[XFlak]

@Garmo, what's the brute force method you're referring to?

@itrost, you can use a gamecube controller to navigate the priiloader menu to launch bootmii

 

[Garmo]

brute force, IIRC is where you repeatedly try, and eventually, on one of the attempts, it works.

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks been lurking around this thead for awhile and finally got around to using the Modmii package and it works perfectly and most importantly was easy to use

Wanted to ask if there is a detailed way of getting Gamecube games to work just as easily from a hardrive ?

Once again big thanks to all involved

for gamecube usb loading u can use either dios mios or devolution. devolution just requires the app be launched from the HBC, no special caveats except you'll have to rip your GC games using devolution once before being able to use it off the HDD as they get ripped differently than standard ripping tools like cleanrip. For dios mios u just need to install an alternate MIOS, and use an updated usb loader to support it, like latest revs of wiiflow, cfg usb loader and neogamma (I think).

Thank you for the fast reply ! This devolution sounds like the trick as i am not keen on installing or messing with mios stuff. matter of fact if it wasnt for Bootmii would have never got this done by myself lol.

Is there a guide on how to get that on the HBC ?

As I already mentioned in my original post, unfortunately this Wii don't have sockets for gamecube controller ...

 

[XFlak]

missed that bit, sorry. Well, there are people who can fix your Wii for u, namely DeadlyFoez, but he's in the states... and unfortunately I'm not sure if there's someone capable closer to you.

So you are saying that there is no other way? Isn't there any other way to reset Wii?

 

[XFlak]

without gamecube ports you can't do anything with priiloader; you should be able to sync your wiimotes from the main wii system menu, and for some reason you can't... but I can assure you it's not because of any softmods you did following ModMii's instructions. Unfortunately softmodding your Wii voided your warranty, and now you probably can't get it repaired by ninty for what sounds like legitimate hardware failure. There's probably plently of local places you could get your BT repaired (which is what I think the problem is, granted I'm not 100% sure, but its my best guess)

 

[Albatroz]

itrost, try clean the WiiMotes register in your Wii.
At Health screen, hold sync button for 30sec. this will clear all wiimotes registered.
then, try sync your wiimote again.
I hope this can solve your problem.

Hi folks,

softmodded my Wii ages ago using an exploit through the mailbox (the bomb in the mailbox... it was so long ago I honestly can't remember the details). I've got HBC, and both my wii and HBC are updated fully. I've been using it just for emulators so far, but I'm tired of how unstable the n64 emulator is, and really want to play Zelda again! So I'm trying to dive into the world of WADs and whatnot, and frankly, I'm pretty overwhelmed. I'm wondering if I should just revert my wii (if such a thing is possible) and start over with bootmii? If I were to do so, is there any way to keep the saved games and miis that are on the wii now? Or can I use bootmii to install another ios without altering my current setup?

I've tried just installing WAD Manager 1.7, but it hangs on the default ios (249 I think), and I haven't the foggiest idea on how to install another ios without starting over from scratch with modmii. anyone out there want to help out a relative noob to this area of modding? I've dug through a LOT of forums, and I'm usually pretty competent at this kind of stuff (done lots of jailbreaking and android rooting, etc), but this is a whole other language that seems to be eluding me.

Thanks in advance!

you ever thought of doing a separate option for WiiU or a ModMiiU

just to save hassle between all these versions of everything?

 

[ddetkowski]

@jordanws: Just use ModMii to update everything, you will not lose your saves, Mii's, etc, nothing gets touched.

yo have powered donw the system totally for 1 min or so and you have tried resetting the wiimotes memory ( hold wiimotes sync button on wii for 30 seconds) and tried re-syncing your wiimotes whilst there is no game disc or memory card inserted ???

Probably only if someone were to donate a WiiU to me and ask I take on such a project, otherwise it may take a couple years for me to get involved in the WiiU scene (if ever)
