I tried both the replacing the code and the patch. I also tried download the hackmii_installer_1.2.zip and putting it in the temp file hoping it would see it and just extract it. No bueno. Where do i put the files inside the zip file. Do they all go in the root of the copy to sd folder or make another folder or what. sorry super new guy here.

I have downloaded both and put both .zip files in the temp folder and it doesnt see either. If i rename 1.2 to 1.0 it will see it and say hashes dont match. Where do i put the files that are inside the zip in the move to sd folder

also when i run the option usb loader setup + guide. It does not create the folder copy_to_usb. Not sure what could be wrong I have run as admin

All you need from the zip should be the boot.elf file, put on to the root of your SD card.

If you want Modmii to do all this for you with v1.2 of the hackmii installer, you can try using my patching app in the post right under Xflak's about the temporary fix. I added the option to choose what version of the installer modmii should download (note that if you do set it to download 1.2, it may fail the md5 check the first time and try redownloading, but then the redownload should pass without errors. I could fix that with a few more lines of code in the patcher, but I am lazy. Maybe later...)
EDIT: Just saw that you already tried the patch. Ah well. Just use the manual boot.elf on the root of SD method.

when the modmii is installing part 12 out of 56 which apparently is HackMii it gives me an information that a file is missing and it can`t be downloaded(see screenshot attached). Can this be the issue why Modmii won`t work for me?

have you done the manual fix? See here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/modmii-for-windows-official-support-topic.207126/page-370#post-4474373
If you don't know how to/don't want to apply that manually, you can use my patching app in the post right underneath that

ok thanks xflak you put me on the right direction in the folder you mentioned i had
get.php@file=hackmii_installer_v1.2.zip&key=618fb7db32437be4d55a9eb4d297a910d95acdc2 and
et.php@file=hackmii_installer_v1.0.zip&key=0c542a766874babc48452af699a1857785b91f8c

i deleted the 1.0 version but it still did not work so i deleted the whls program and re-installed it to the default directory and it works installing everything including hackmii .
one other thing i dont know if its meant to or not but if i use modmii skin it does not seem to genereate the "copy to usb folder " but modmii.exe does .

many thanks for this program now to do my wii

@ XFlak
I can't confirm it now, (because my wife is now playing with Wii), but i thinkk that in version 1.2 of Hackmii Installer, Bootmii IOS will not installed silently/automatically installing homebrew channel.

but in ModMii guide you say:
"This runs the Hackmii Installer (and silently/automatically installs BootMii as IOS). Use the installer to install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii as Boot2 if possible."

I think that TT made this mod for haven't trouble with vWII.

hi, so we can now softmod our wiiu to support wii games with usb loader ?
Not yet. The cIOSs need to be re-written to support the vWii that the Wiiu uses. Once that has been done you should be able to softmod it and get a usb loader up and running. See this thread for the progress: http://gbatemp.net/threads/hacking-the-wiiu-a-simple-progress-guide.338900/

I should also mention that you wont be able to use modmii to hack your wii u, as XFlak hasn't added that support in (yet?), so you will have to do it following some other guide.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
