Yup, that works. Just tested your site on hardware and it works.

thank you for sharing, and taking the time to write your post with a full explanation.
you even wrote the explanation in a logical and chronological way, easy to understand all the things you had to do to exploit this bug.

It's always nice to see new things, even if for old consoles. Even if it's "not useful" as most people already hacked their console, it's good to learn new things and like you said you did it to learn more about PPC.


The hackmii installer doesn't need SD to write the log? apparently not.

Is it usable on a wii mini? Because if we don’t need a SD Card it should work on it.

Doesn't the Wii Mini have no internet?

That was my question

And here is my answer, unfortunately...

I thought the Ethernet Adapter would work but it seams that it doesn’t work, maybe with a modchip and flashdisk it would be possible to enable (reinstall) the internet compatibility, but i think the most people doesn’t want to open their wii for just softmodding the wii mini but i think it’s possible to do that

I don't understand why anyone who wants to softmod would buy a Wii Mini
and also I think it would be called hardmodding not softmodding

It's likely he already had the Wii Mini, no?

FYI soldering an SD slot onto a Wii mini and using smash stack does NOT work. Ios is hard coded to say there is no card inserted even when there is.

I have a white wii, this was a solution for the wii mini my bosses bought for the miniclub in his campsite.

I don't think you can enable internet on Wii Minis.

I know, i was just making things clear to the temp mates questions, you included.

If you flash the iOS and system menu of a regular wii it should work.

only the driver is required but if you want to install any stuff you need Homebrew access so you need to use a modchip boot the wad installer, that’s the only way to boot Homebrews before you softmoded your wii mini

How do you re-flash the Wii Mini with no internet access and no SD access? A Wii modchip nowadays probably costs a lot more than just buying a used older Wii that has network and SD.

@Ferris1000 my Wii is softmodded since the Twilight hack, so i'm pretty ok, no problems.
This was just a thinking for the Wii mini of my bosses, i tell this again so it get clear now.

This fills my heart with so much joy. The Wii doesn't deserve to die, it's the console with the coolest hacking scene ever. Thanks OP, you deserve all my respect.

 

[Jhynjhiruu]

I can confirm, it DOES work on PAL. On my third try, it loaded the Hackmii Installer. Wii's already hacked from Letterbomb, but whatever

 

[eduall]

the wii never dies!

If you burn a DVD with WAD Manager and all requied cIOS/IOS you don't need a SD Card Slot or an Ethernet Connection because everything is storred on this single Disc and ready to install.

This is pretty cool. But I thought Nintendo removed Flash from the Wii browser at some point?
