@everyone UWUVCI's been updated to ModMii's FOSS version of Zesty's UWUVCI v3.201.1 using a custom build script I just shared publicly at https://github.com/modmii/UWUVCI

I wasn't planning on making it public but Zesty and at least one other person felt strongly that I should, so as of today it is

UWUVCI Updated to v3.201.2 - FOSS (Free and Open Source Software version)
- This was a quick fix. It looks like *someone* deliberately tried to break every patch.

Latest FOSS version of UWUVCI can be retrieved from ModMii or directly from here

I haven't touched my hacked Wii in well over 10 years. I wonder how outdated it is

Maybe I'll give this thing a try and give it a refresh

I’ve still got the wiikey attached to mine and loads of single layer Verbatim discs apart from the one off dual layer disc that was needed for Super Smash Bros Brawl all boxed away. I wonder myself if it still all works I haven’t touched it the same like yourself my Wii had the GameCube ports on it I remember the newer versions of the Wii it was taken away

I still say too this day if it wasn’t for the WiiKey I don’t think it would of been as successful as it was selling it was literally hacked on release which didn’t do it any harm at all infact the opposite

I didn't even know the Wii U was hacked, absent for 10 years. I'll have to try this out.

To be fair hacking the Wii U has got so easy in the last two years even Scott The Woz should be able to do it. Older methods were a bit of a pain.

I softmodded my hardmodded wii using modmii after the dvd drive failed years and years ago.

Really wish I had looked here when I modded my wii u a month or two ago. Would have made it easier.

Thanks so much for putting in so much work for the community here.

Sir this is an English forum.

Windows 10 and 11 are insecure systems by design, and classified as malware as per Microsoft's own admittance (e.g. keyloggers) since the Windows 10 launch.

Security, privacy, stability and superior UI and UX design are the reasons Windows 7 remains so popular today and into the future.

This is no exaggeration: You think you can remove all the evil and ultra-invasive stuff, but you can't. Not 100%. And even with what you can remove, it necessarily leaves your system in a broken and unsupported state. In no way, shape or form should it be the default option for anyone.

Aside the 1st party keyloggers, spyware and the massive malware behavior of the AI and other "features", lack of consent with OneDrive and so on, users keep losing their data due to several AI slop bugs that govern Microsoft's software updates, breaking Windows in ways that have caused terabytes upon terabytes of data loss worldwide, be it from the terror of various BitLocker bugs or other forms of irreversible destruction.

Microsoft is very open about the malware they push. Now imagine all else they aren't being open about. It only gets worse with time, not better, so the further you are able to go back, the more you go forward where it actually counts.

Remember: Where there is a risk, there needs to be a choice. It's no one's business but their own what other users decide to use for themselves. At minimum, the best we can do is not to try to take away that choice from them. If I develop Windows software, I won't go out of my way to ensure it's broken on Windows 10/11 to protect users from the various infringements caused by their poisoned OS of choice. The best I can do is educate, and let them come to their own opinions and decide.

Windows 8 and 8.1 are also problematic, although to a lesser degree. Still should be avoided nonetheless.

Incidentally, for what it's worth, it should be known and made clear that Windows 7 (and even Vista) have been officially supported by Microsoft until January 2026, meaning until just know, way before ModMii 8.0.0 was released. Perhaps you just didn't know of it, but not only there were ESU updates, but also PA (Premium Assurance) updates. They are for Server 2008 and 2008 R2, whose non-Server counterparts are Vista and 7 respectively, and work equally on them.

With or without the updates, though, Windows 7 SP1 has TLS 1.2 support, various modern tools, apps and webbrowsers (if you try and look), and extremely solid security overall. What's essential to ANY operating system, above all, is how you, the end user, use it. If need be, you can harden its built-in security even further for any given edge case, simply ask around the "Windows XP Vista 7 fans" Discord community from where the likes of VxKex originated from, as well as a lot of general good advice.

TL;DR I think you meant well, but please consider not fighting how users use their systems. They might know something you might not. This is not to say you are guilty of the following, but never impose anything onto others over the terrible pretext or premise of "because it's good for you" or "I know better than you". Thank you for making ModMii for all these years.

New modmii dev here, I'd like to mention that we are working on porting ModMii to Linux and Mac. if you'd rather not use modern windows (trust me, i wouldn't either) then this next major update is catered directly towards you. Our hands were kinda tied as we wanted to use certain programs that didn't support Windows 7 anymore.

I use Linux but it is on an old machine so I can't install the newest versions of Wine.
