Had 1 question and sorry if this is in the wrong place. My wii is 4.2u and I modded it with a different method than the one from this guide and it is fine. I used this guide for my friend's 4.3u and it works great except the dreaded super smash bros brawl game. Now with the retail disc that I own, it only works if his sd card is removed. If the sd card is in, the game freezes the wii at the menu select. I backed the game up to his external hdd but the game will freeze the system up when you get to the menu select of the game. We both are using CFG loader as I trust the loader above all. I have mine and his set to 222mload and we both have cios 38 rev 17 added so what may I be missing? Btw, the freeze is the type where I have to unplug the power cord.

Did you delete the private folder after you used the guide?

[Patrick444]

no not for mine or his. how would this make a differance as my game works just fine?

If smash bros is still locking up, it could be trying to read the memory card (which still has the smash stack on it if you didn't delete it)... Just a guess...

yeah, that makes sense but I used Indiana. I also heard somewhere that it could be a saved game issue but tried that and that did not work. Zizer, Thank you for your advice about modmii! I have never tried that one before and it looks very very important tool to have. I'm sure to use that one alot. I can't fix his wii today, but tomarrow I have time and will let you know if it worked or not. Seriously everyone thanks for being there for me.

The 43mod pack has smash stack in it... So even if you didn't use it, it will still be on the sd card unless you deleted it.

[Patrick444]

[Patrick444]

Sounds like you have a patched system ios (which is why the hbc is upside down). Download up42.zip for your region, format memory card, copy it over. Load hbc, and run YAWM Multimod Batch, it will install all clean system ios wads. Then grab mod42.zip and follow the rest of the guide

All should be good

Hello,

My friend bought wii with fw 4.3 e and we can`t find any of those games in our stores(live in Romania). I have 1 question: can we borrow an wiikey, mount in wii, and run Lego indiana from back-up dvd to softmod, and then take out the wiikey?

 

[zizer]

new wii have new drive and wiikey don't work

 

[Zod]

ok, i see that dvd backup will not work, but will work from sd. If i load game image from sd can i softmod wii 4.3?

 

[zizer]

you need a disc , 4.3 is no other way

 

[burritoboy9984]

ok, i see that dvd backup will not work, but will work from sd. If i load game image from sd can i softmod wii 4.3?

In order to load from sd, it needs to be softmodded already.

Priiloader
optional brick protection; recommended to block disc/online updates.
Run 3. Priiloader 236
Once Priiloader launches, press + to install priiloader.
You may get an error for "loader.ini" and/or "password.txt" simply ignore these.
Restart your Wii while holding reset.
Enable desired hacks and save.
Hack Suggestions: Auto press A at health screen, Block disc updates, Block online updates, Remove NoCopy save file protection, Recovery mode press d-pad..., Region free everything.
FYI on a 4.3U that I did today
Recovery mode press d-pad... caused it to boot to black screen with 4.3(USA) in bottom right. Would only boot from a disk until I disabled it.

applied this guide to a neighbors black wii on 4.2U:

I'm a seasoned modder from all systems from psx 1 to xbox 360 and iphone and atv2g, expert area. please interpret as " not a n00b"

step 2 failed at first with a dsi dump
deleted config file and selected 236 manually and it would dump also
used dop-mii to patch original ios 36 and used YAWM to 36

it installed all but 249 and 250 due to stubs

used dop-mii to remove 249 & 250 stubs and reran YAWM with success

dunno if you can use this to improve for the noobs, but you may need a new tool to batch remove those stubs and or fix the reason the wad manager wouldnt use your 236 on this christmas 2010 purchased black wii

thank you for this tool

I can't duplicate. I missed originally you said you made it use 36 (which won't overwrite stubs, but 236 will)... I tried stubbing ios 222-249, but get no error, everything is successful... If anyone else is getting errors, please post a syscheck, and maybe we can track this down

-Erik


I've just tried to modify my WII following the instructions listed but also get the dsi dump.
I followed from the top, doing the update to 4.2 followed by modify 4.2 and installed HomeBrew and bootmii.
Continued onto making a nand backup followed by installing a Trucha'd IOS into Slot 236. All OK so far
Then ran YAWM Multimod Batch and it dsi dumped.
Deleted wm_config.txt from the flash card and tried again, manually selecting IOS 236 and SD card when prompted. it dsi dumped again.
Examined flash card, no wm_config.txt file to delete. Still dsi dumps when run.
Installed syscheck 2.01 and ran. Results are as follows,

Where do I go from here? Can I just start from a bootmii nand restore or should I start from up42e again?

Thanks
