Hacking Best Way to Mod Any Wii: ModMii for Windows: Official Support Thread

[JoostinOnline]

@[member='WiiFool'],
Thx man! Basically some hard drives aren't compatible with the recommended cIOSs, and a cIOS with base IOS58 will get the hard drive working but won't operate as good as base 56 or base 57 (you should still be able to play most games though). You can try installing a d2x v8 beta with base IOS58 and see if you have better luck (I kind of doubt it though). To grab one of those just go to ModMii's download page 4 and type "beta", then select your beta, then type "249d2x58", "d", "y". If it doesn't work you can post in the d2x thread and maybe davebaol might be able to get compatibility up with base IOS58 (don't get your hopes up though). In the end, the best course of action for you would be to get yourself a decent hard drive; like a western digital or seagate hard drive (check out the compatibility list before purchasing anything just in case). Then you should be able to use base56 and base57 cIOSs.

I haven't followed all of his posts, but has he tried 223? That is pretty much the same as base 56 in terms of compatibility.

@[member='JoostinOnline'], not a bad idea

@[member='WiiFool'], I modified some instructions from here for you

Open sd:/apps/USBLoader/meta.xml in your favourite text editor and do the following:
1. Find the line towards the end of the file.
2. Add the following line before :

ios=223-mload

3. Save your changes to meta.xml.
4. Configurable USB Loader will now launch using IOS223-mload instead of the default IOS

@Imphal from XFlax,
if the only issue is some lines running through the picture when running the hackmii installer... who cares! If u have the same line issue when using your wii normally you should either try a different tv or try adjusting your video mode settings via the wii menu.

@XFlax
Thank for allowing me to try your excellent software I would however point out that I do not have lines in normal vision and if I had more then I would take steps to rectify it in other words..... I care!!!! and as said I have no need to change the wii settings at all.

Thank you

  I want to extend a big thank you to crediar for continuing to work on DML
  and addressing the issues that DML was facing when running from bootmii IOS.
  Your solution to install DML on the real NAND to slot 257 solved a lot of
  problems and the scene thanks you. I also want to recognize WiiPower who
  has become increasingly involved in the DML project.

• neek2o rev70+ now uses SNEEKInstallerv0.7a instead of SNEEKInstallerv0.6c.
  
• Now when PC programs are downloaded with local save settings (or possibly Auto)
  they will be saved to a Program Files folder wherever ModMii is saved instead
  of always being saved to C:\ModMii\Program Files.
  
• Other minor changes.

if done properly, chances are next to none that u'll brick

it's riskier trying to reverse a softmod, but doable. You should not attempt this though, especially now that you're still learning the basics.

I don't know what you told modmii, but you should follow your guide. If you have a copy_to_usb folder, u should copy the contents of that folder to your usb HDD. If you have a copy_to_sd folder, copy the contents to your sd card.

Before asking anymore questions, please read or re-read your guide. Then if you have questions, please attach your guide to your post and tell me specifically what part of your guide you have questions about.

also, when you typed BOMB, it would have opened up a webpage telling you to "cut a wire" and download letterbomb, save it to you sd card, etc. If you skipped this step, you will not be able to complete the first step of your guide. If this doesn't sound familiar, start from the beginning and use the ModMii Wizard again.

edit:
re. your edit, that other folder are files for your fat32 usb hdd. Your guide explains how to format the hard drive, after formatting the drive, copy those files to it.

hi again. im sorry for the very late reply. i already installed letterbomb and up to themes. i have a question my wii doesnt read or play pirated / burned wii games? why? how do i make my wii read these dvds?

 

[Lucif3r]

Its probably too new.
You need to replace the DVD with an older model.

 

[AlinaReyes]

^
what do you mean new? the game? the game is called " island sports party: summer sports 2 ".

 

[Lucif3r]

No, your Wii. Wii's after autumn -09 can not play backups/dvds.

[Lucif3r]

[AlinaReyes]

Yeah, too new.

so..the only way to play pirated / dvd games is thru usb loader ~~> HDD?

 

[Lucif3r]

Yeah, too new.

Yes. Or buy an older DVD.

I need help. I installed modwii and ran it. I followed the wizard and put the files from the "copy to sd" folder onto the root of the sd card. When I put it into the Wii it reconizes the sd card but there is nothing to ran. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ? Do I format the SD card to FAT, FAT32, NTFS ?

sd= FAT32
but 1° step is to load the exploit . have you read the modmii wizard guide?
your firmware is?

 

[kylster]

I think it was half read honestly depending on the exploit used it's still simple

Spoiler: Remember....

If commone sense were common then everyone would have common sense.

I just noticed this but what is the purpose of building d2x with base IOS60/70/80?
I understand these are SM IOS but the only reason I remember patching the SM IOS for is to get unpurchased WW/VC games to run from SD card. Maybe I can be educated a little bit on this...

Also how do I build different revs of DML?
All I see is the basic 3 cMIOS available for download.

Thanks in advance.
