Gaming Can you hack the Wii Mini?

Is this thread a joke?:

This was started before the BlueBomb exploit, so no, it is not. It's a legitimate question.

That's the problem with necrobumps.

I ran bluebomb and ran the wii shop channnel. Problem is that I can't accept the agreement.

I've been wrestling with that issue myself. How can you hack a Wii Mini without modifying the hardware? Here's what we know:

• First of all, we know that there is no WiFi. No Wii Shop or Internet Browser, no WiiConnect24, nothing of the sort.
  
• No SD card slot, so thus no Wii Channel or save game backups there.
  
• One USB slot? A possibility, but most exploits are designed for SD card access. Since the Wii Mini has no native external storage support, it would have to be an exploit which does not need this.
  
• You may be able to hack into it using the Wii Mini's disc loading feature, but the disc has to have a signature which passes itself off as Wii Mini compatible (spoof signature?), perhaps even designed in such a way that the Wii Mini thinks it's a legit game (i.e. Mario Kart Wii) when in fact it's an exploit. It's not like it hasn't been done before...
  
• There's also Bluetooth. The Wii remotes actually use Bluetooth to communicate with the Wii. You could write a program for your smart phone or other Bluetooth-capable device that disguises itself as a Wii peripheral and forces an exploit upload to the Wii Mini. I'm not really sure how this is possible, though.

It's not impossible; it just hasn't been mastered yet.

That just happend in 2020
It is possible. In pimp my wii it says there is a sd card slot so maybe take it abart find where it usally would be on a wii and soder one in.

Do yourself a favor and don't run any automatic apps that are supposed to fully mod a (normal) Wii.

The Mini is different; it has no WiFi chip (while System Menu/IOS from the normal Wii might expect it's presence).

This worked for me to get USB Loader GX running:

So I'm guessing you can use corrupted miis from the wiimote to hack it from what I have read in here. I mean its almost been 2 years there must be a way?

Yes, BlueBomb. For now, it's the only way. It also works on the Wii, too.

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Honestly, I knew something related to the WiiMote's built-in memory would lead to the Wii Mini being cracked wide open. I just thought it'd require a game too like club penguin game day or rabbids go home, if not the mii channel

 

[Dezlite]

Yes, blue bomb works. I got the Homebrew menu on My Wii Mini and got USB Loaders GX and Nintendont. Played Smash Meele all day, it was great. My only concern is using a LAN adapter on the Wii Mini. There is a Homebrew app that allows it to work, but I heard you have to do some extra modifications for it to work. The system settings on the Mini doesn't show anything related to wifi and you can't change it

 

[leseratte]

No additional modifications are required to get the LAN adapter to work. Just connect it and run the homebrew app, done.
You would only need additional modifications if you wanted to change network settings, like using a static IP instead of DHCP or changing the DNS servers. But for a LAN connection, the default settings will be fine in most cases.

Sounds pretty Interesting. So will Wiimfi (I don't know how to spell it correctly) work on Wii Games? Because doesn't wiimfi require you to manually type in an IP address or something?

 

[leseratte]

Wiimmfi works perfectly fine on a Wii Mini, you just need to run the network enabler once.

Ok thank you. Also, I ran the network enabler two times, did I mess anything up by doing that

 

[leseratte]

No.

Wiimmfi works with say mario kart wii now? Using the LAN adapter. Wow that's so smart i didn't know you could use LAN via USB
