Neogamma requires a CIOS. If it's confusing, use ModMii, I can't make it any easier than that
Those are not alternatives - you must have a CIOS (in the default 249 slot) for Neogamma to do its primary functioninstalling these CIOS is confusing so I'll just use Neogamma
WiiMC (if you like a point and click GUI), WiiMC SS (if you want something more updated at the expense of less features like playing photos, possibly movie DVDs too), or MPlayer CE (less features and older, but pretty stable, doesn't have "convenience" features that get in the way, and is also available on gamecube)Also whats the best DVD (movie) player for wii?
The 2 ones Modmii calls 24957 and 25056 (which you already selected, along with others) will cover many but not all games (with the same caveat any recent compatibility knowledge probably refers to SD/USB only)Thanks. Here I just dont know which cIOS should I get.
Thanks as always. I was under the impression that MMM was needed to install Wads and Forwarders. And ios (which I admittedly should be up to date with after using your syschecker in ModMii). Have I got this wrong too?Mmm can access the USB if you modify its config file in the apps folder. Doesn't matter though because once your wii is softmodded (using an SD card) you shouldn't need to access mmm again. So install the wad/forwarder using SD and it will accomplish the same thing as if you had installed it from USB. At the end of the day you'll have the channel installed which will launch from SD and/or USB.
Forwarder sequence is customized by the person who created it. It's usually a part of the read me or some sort of documentation bundled with the wad or described on the page whereever you found it. If you only have 1 usb loader on the drive then there won't be any issues, or if u have more than one, and you don't want the current loader to load first you can just rename the apps folder so that it's skipped in sequence (I.e. Rename apps/cfg_usbloader to apps/cfg_usbloader_whatever). Alternatively you can seek out a different forwarder or create your own. You can easily create a new forwarder dol using ModMii Classic's advanced download page, then inject into a donar wad/Channel using customize Mii (from modmii classic's download page 2). Basically allows you to customize the action of an existing forwarder, heck you can even rename it, change images, music, etc.
If you use ModMii's wizard, and answer te questions as if the console is a virgin, you will have the optimal configuration (it even described how to set up a USB loader and format an external hard drive). When completed you can remove the SD card and it will just work.
And btw, because your bootmii loads upon boot when an SD card is inserted means you have bootmii installed as boot2. Congrats, coupled with a nand backup you are pretty much brick proof. If you rename sd:/bootmii to something different like bootmii_off it will skip launching bootmii upon boot. Or of course if u remove the SD card, the same thing happens. You can edit the bootmii config file as well to accomplish the same thing or to boot directly to the homebrew channel.
If you have priiloader installed it too can help you customize what's booted upon launch, and with this method you can even configure it to launch an app immediately upon start liek a USB loader. Again ModMii will help you with a lot of this.
To install titles from a wad, you need a wad manager - MMM is just one of the many ones (the most modern ones are Some Yawmm Mod and Wii Mod Lite, but the latter is somewhat unstable)Thanks as always. I was under the impression that MMM was needed to install Wads and Forwarders. And ios (which I admittedly should be up to date with after using your syschecker in ModMii). Have I got this wrong too?
Bootmii is made of two parts - the one installed to the console (as boot2 or IOS254) just mounts the SD card and runs /bootmii/armboot.bin, nothing moreRegarding the bootmii on sd card, do I then only need this sd card for creating a NAND and potentially restoring if it bricks at some point, i.e. Don't need to keep the card in but save it for if the wii bricks at some point?
Enter "rec" for the recommended files. But Ryccardo already shared which ones matter most.
Thanks. Here I just dont know which cIOS should I get.
Correct, sd card is only required to access bootmii to make backups or recover from bricks. It's also required if you want to run neek (uneek or sneek, which is basically an emulated Nand running off an external device instead of the Wii's internal memory)Thanks as always.

Again you could just use modmii's main wizard or syscheck wizard to make sure everything your running is up to date instead of handling things on a piecemeal basis.
The USB loader forwarder channel that comes with ModMii should launch cfg (and other loaders) just fine
Edit: I point to modmii because it's easy, but if u go searching there are plenty to choose from. Careful though, installing a bad wad can potentially brick you, especially if u followed an inferior guide that didn't have u make a nand backup and install priiloader... as I said earlier, ModMii is the answer to all your questions/problems (or to be fair any reputable guide is)
1: you're sure your drive supports non-Wii/GC discs (having actually disassembled the console and read the drive controller's model, or successfully run a burnt Wii game) or are just guessing based off the list?I installed WiiMC and tried playing DVD. it said unsupported disc.
Strange, I thought I have an old Wii.
