Background on my setup - I've been following wii.guide, so I believe I'm running the latest and greatest for my homebrew environment. Here's what I've completed so far:
This is where I assume NEEK comes in. I did what I could to follow guides online (mostly pieces of different posts by Cyan), but the Wii always freezes at the step where NEEK is supposed to launch. So far I've done the following:
There's obviously something I'm missing here... any suggestions appreciated! Are there any other files I'm supposed to have for NEEK other than the output from ModMii? And I assume the new BootMii issues are related to the files I got from ModMii. I have an original armboot.bin file from the offline BootMii install process, should I just put that back on there and overwrite the files I got from ModMii?
My Wii has an online connection and both an SD card and USB device available, so I'm ready to try a bunch of different options. TIA!
- Bootmii installed - I have an RVL-101 so it's not on boot2 (SD card preparation failed during Hackmii installer, but I was able to set up later with an offline installation and then do a full NAND backup)
- Priiloader installed
- HBC installed
- cIOS installed & configured based on wii.guide instructions
- USB drive formatted via WIi Backup Manager
- USB Loader GX installed (later set up with a forwarder channel while troubleshooting NEEK)
- .wbfs files launching successfully from external USB
- Created emuNAND on external USB
- NAND dumped via USB Loader "Features" menu
- set emuNAND paths in USB Loader
- successfully installed some .wads to emuNAND
This is where I assume NEEK comes in. I did what I could to follow guides online (mostly pieces of different posts by Cyan), but the Wii always freezes at the step where NEEK is supposed to launch. So far I've done the following:
- used ModMii to install UNEEK neek2o rev96
- copied the contents of "COPY_TO_SD" and "COPY_TO_USB" to the respective devices
- attempted to start NEEK using the following methods:
- launching "nswitch v2.2" from HBC (starts normally then freezes at "reloading Bootmii IOS")
- selecting "Boot Neek System Menu" from USB Loader "Features" menu (instant black screen)
- launching a game after setting "EmuNAND Channel Mode" to "Neek" in Loader Settings (instant black screen)
- launching BootMii from HBC menu (some guides state this will launch NEEK after you've copied the ModMii files - now it just produces another black screen)
- using ModMii files from a "UNEEK" installation rather than "UNEEK+DI"
There's obviously something I'm missing here... any suggestions appreciated! Are there any other files I'm supposed to have for NEEK other than the output from ModMii?
