Ok I have followed Stephaniie guide to mod my Wii.

I have the HBC installed and working, Priiloader, and some other stuff but my Wii freezes all the time when I try to change the IOS or when I try to start any USB loader.

Now I think the loaders freeze because my IOS isn't the right one but my Wii won't let me change it because it is always freezing.

My IOS list keeps saying that IOS 249 is a stub. I dont know what that means.

Anyways I don't know if I need to revert my Wii back to stock then remod it with ModWii.

I'm no expert with these things, but try to re-download IOS 249 again, only this time through wifi. That's what helped me out. Keep going back and following the instructions from Step three (from 5:38 on the video), only always doing it from wifi, and not the SD card.

If the problem persists, you might have to restart the whole process.

I'm confused on why people don't use modmii.
I mean seriously, why follow online guides when there's a one click solution.

it is not one click.... modmii is a program that asks your options, automatically downloads the stuff for you (it even places them ready on the sd card) then it opens a guide on how to install it and you just have to put the sd card back onto wii and follow instructions

but you already knew that....

and it's a double click (to open the program, depends on OS config...) then some keyboard typing.... if you don't count the double click to open then its just keyboard typing...

but yes indeed, it's really simple, you dont have to "look for guide. In guides usually they are lots of "click here to get to this other page (which sometimes its a file host where you input captcha and wait for download) so you can download that file you need in that single step, then in next step there will be more downloads....
you don't have to unzip every single file you download....
modmii also verifies if files were downloaded correctly and automatically re-download them without any hassle...
you usually don't need to worry about being outdated or diferent guides... (people can do the guides in several ways...) you don't need to look for the "most recent" guide... (there are lots of websites with ancient guides in which you needed twilight hack and outdated downloads)


modmii does the job for us... i really which i had a modpsp or modps3 back into the days....

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.

    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.

    That sounds really cool
