I went ahead after listening to you guys and everything worked out great! :)

This may be a stretch to ask here, but since I'm using ModMii for SNEEK, I have a question on the NMM (No More Memory-Cards) feature. Is it possible to use NMM and also use GC cards? It's not a big deal since I can swap or edit the NAND and stuff, but figured it would be pretty awesome if I can use both an SD card and GC card to save GC games.

And are you guys using 4.3 or 4.2 for NAND emulation? I always thought versions above 4.1 didn't matter, but does some apps/games/features require the latest version? Thanks for the advice!

They dont. But I dont think the region locks in 4.2/4.3 matters in an emu-nand, and the few less brick recoveries means nothing since you can simply delete the nand and redump it without your Wii ever knowing^^

Just something to take notice of. In version 5 you are trying to link to www.tinyurl.com/modmiinow, but tinyurl doesn't need the www, and thus you get a URL error.

Also, for whatever reason the console is defaulting to a really small size with this prog. It has happened on 2 different computers for me, a simple switching of the font fixes it, but some users may not know how to do that.

Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome program. It is so simple and easy to use, somebody who walked in knowing nothing (myself) modded their Wii within five hours of plugging it in. Not one hiccup along the way. This is truly something I can appreciate.

Thanks again.

@hellboy2010, modmii downloads the modules, those are not updated yet, but if you go to the neek2o google code page, you can download a zip with the already builded r69 files.

I suggest you use that in the mean time.

I am getting a Black Screen with "4.3(USA)" in the lower right corner on the system menu. I cannot proceed beyond that.
This is my second mod. The first one went flawlessly.

The mod appeared to go perfectly. Everything loaded and runs (Home Brew, Priiloader, etc) but when I go to the system menu, I get the black screen with the 4.3(USA).

I would guess that I am missing something simple but I am new to this and two hours of Googling got me nowhere.

I started with ver 4.3U and I followed the guide to the letter.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

have u tried holding reset when the wii is booting to access priiloader?
"Everything loaded and runs (Home Brew, Priiloader, etc)"
Yes I can run the Priiloader. Everything works except the System Menu. I have run the Priiloader several times and verified that I have set up the options as recommended.
I am somewhat afraid to try things when I am not sure what I am doing. Your app is excellent and the videos make implementation very simple and straight-forward. Of course the downside of this approach is that it does not bestow much knowledge upon the user. I have done a lot of reading since I had this problem but I still remain hesitant.

check your priiloader system menu hacks, make sure you don't have anything like "blackscreen at menu startup" or something like that enabled
I did check them twice. i compared them to the settings you listed and read each one carefully then I performed a save to make sure. None of them were on the wrong settings and none of two black screen settings were enabled.

I got it.
I had one seting off on the Priiloader system hacks. "Force Standard Recovery Mode" was enabled instead of "Auto-Press A at Health Screen".
Works Great now!

I appreciate your time and effort. Sorry about the noob action.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
