Hacking How long should the first boot into SNEEK take?

[Eridior]

It's been stuck at "Reloading bootmii IOS!" for almost 15 minutes now.

5-10 minutes. For the first boot, don't use renaming tools like nswitch or switch2uneek, instead manually rename the bootmiineek folder on sd (or equivalent) to bootmii, then start bootmii from the hbc or priiloader. This will ensure it is actually trying to boot the files and isn't getting hung up by not being able to rename folders first

Okay I did the manual rename and when I launch bootmii fron hbc or priiloder it gets stuck at black screen.
edit: and this link in ModMii no longer works. tinyurl.com/sneek-di
Double edit: I feel I should make it clear that I don't have the sd card in anymore.

Thanks, I think I fixed that link already for the next update, but I made a note to double check.

So unless u are launching via usbloader gx, the sd card is required. If you try starting "bootmii" without an SD card it should return you to the system menu iirc.

But getting stuck on a blackscreen with the appropriate folder structure means its trying to load / expand files for first boot. If u wait a long time, like more than 10-15 min tops and it still doesn't load then I would try a different nand instead of the one built by modmii, try your extracted nand.bin or dumping it using GX. There are some tweaks that can be made to a modmii generated nand to get it more likely to load (whatever is noted on screen), but personally I have never had to make adjustments to make modmii emunands work.

Tried to build a SNEEK+DI using ModMii but i can only get this far. Is it booting the emuNAND or what it doing? Waited but nothing happens . Thanks and happy new year . Make Wii great again !

 

[godreborn]

it takes longer on first boot, but how long it takes really depends on how much is on the emunand. if it's a lot, it could take minutes.

Is the wii softmodded? If so, no need to use Casper. If the wii stays on the Casper screen something isn't going right. Are you using the abstinence wizard?

 

[flo]

Yes, i'm using the AW , first time i'm doing it, that's why i don't know if that screen is loading the emuNAND or i didn't even get there . The Wii was clean, nothing on it . I was an experiment which failed, i modded it the classic way eventually .

 

[godreborn]

iirc, the nand folders need to be on the root of the drive for normal neek. neek2o can have them in folders. how are your folders situated?

 

[CoolMe]

Yea, not sure why you're using Casper.. after setting up Sneek/Uneek you just put the files on sd or usb drive, then launch neek2o channel from the HBC. It will take 30 to a 1min the first time, bit after that it'll boot much faster..

 

[XFlak]

Yes if the wii is modified no need to use the absitence wizard and casper

Set up neek and emunand using modmii, then rename your bootmiineek folder to bootmii and launch "bootmii" using the hbc or priiloader or whatever, this way you can test neek before introducing launcher tools like nswitch or switch2uneek
