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

[XFlak]

Modmii is checking for a specific hash of its ios's, if it was packed using a different tool there may be slight (immaterial) differences causing it to be rejected by modmii.

Hang tight, it will be on mariocube soon, and a better solution is in the works

Anyone who's used modmii before would have a backup in their modmii temp folder.

I understand someone may be uploading a modmii temp folder to mariocube soon...

A better workaround is in the works

Sorry to barge in, I'm in a similar situation in the sense where the nus download using modmii classic is stating that it is missing ios13-64-v1032.wad and ios-55-64-v5663.wad, the download fails every time (using r) and I think it is a 404 issue ultimately. I don't trust alternate wad download locations and the ones I found under old and under wads fail the checksum from modmii (I put them in the temp folder beside the others that downloaded correctly to ensure modmii would run a checksum prior to me installing untrusted wads and possibly bricking the wii) Anyhow. Thanks for the awesome toolset, but, I am curious as to what I should do about this. Whe you state a better workaround is in the works, what are you referencing? Thanks!

I understand that a working modmii temp folder will find it's way into Mariocube shortly, I don't have control over this and cannot provide an ETA. And you don't really need to worry too much about what u save to modmii's temp folder, if a WAD fails checksums, modmii will delete it from its temp folder automatically.

I am also having someone help me investigate building a custom version of nusd.exe (used by ModMii) that will check a secondary server for files in the event that the primary NUS server is down. This is a similar solution that has already been implemented by the RC24 patcher / team.

I was going to wait for a couple other things (like the new usbloader gx) before pushing another modmii update, but if i manage to get a solid nusd workaround working, I will push a quick update asap. Realistically though the earliest it would be ready is by the weekend-ish.

@XFlak I can only hope they do.. Three of those IOS70 V6687 wads I downloaded from different sites, all had the same MD5 signature.. So they've either been procured from the Mario Cube cube site already.. OR another common source.. As for reset of them.. They all had differing MD5 signatures though..

@hdherlambang Would you mind uploading those zip files to mega.nz or some other upload site? As I'd like to check there MD5 signatures to.

No stress, you're amazing to support this like you do. I am basically trying to make the code downloader app and cheat manager apps work again (they worked years ago, but now they just hang on a screen expecting input and nothing I do either with a gc controller or wiimote does anything whatsoever. I imagined this may be due to some broken ios, so I ran a syscheck and fed it to your amazing tool in order to set everyrhing straight in the hopes that this makes that work again) Otherwise, I'm pretty much able to make everything work fine. I used the first part (hackmii etc in boot2) to at least update my bootmi and hbc versions to the latest ones in the meantime Thanks again for taking your time maintaining this. It's really appeciated.

is this site allow to write link to google drive / one drive?

 

[XFlak]

AFAIK, just depends on what content is being shared

Modmii has a cheat code downloader, it just takes awhile, modmii classic's dl page 2. And it should be easy to just enable cheats from with your loader, but depends on what loader you're using u didn't say. A lot of older cheat code download tools don't work anymore since geckocodes went down, but the RC24 guys mirrored it at codes.rc24.xyz, apps just need updating.

Edit: and thanks for the kudos!

I usually use neogamma as my loader since most of my backups are on dvd. I did not know modii had a code downloader though, interesting, I will have to check how that works

 

[XFlak]

Man, upgrade to a usbloader, you won't regret it!

I vote for the three (wiiflow lite, usb loader gx, configurable usb loader v70)

 

[MistaH]

@XFlak I think having a "backup" or "Blan B" substitute NUS server would be a VERY good idea.. As after watching a video on the Spawn Wave, YouTube channel.. It would seem a number of WADs are starting to become unavailable from Nintendo's own official servers.. Which may mean.. And after a similar issue that nukememobile has also reported to.. There probably starting to remove WADs from there own official NUS server as well..

Good news everyone!

Updated on April 2: To fix any ModMii NUS Download issues you might be experiencing, just have it check for updates (by default this is done when launched). Even if there are no updates, ModMii's update checks will detect unpatched ModMii installations, and patch them automatically. This will allow you to easily patch older versions of ModMii without being forced to update. That being said, it is always recommended to use the latest version of ModMii!


I come bearing TWO solutions!

The first is to take the attached zip, and extract it's contents to ModMii's support folder, overwriting the files currently there. This should fix current and even older versions of ModMii if for some reason you are running an old version (which is generally not advised). The source for these and ModMii's other supporting apps are here (link also on shared the ModMii.github.io Credits page). Major thanks goes out to @TheShadowEevee and the RC24 team for this!!

EXTRACT THE ATTACHED ZIP TO MODMII'S SUPPORT FOLDER TO FIX NUS ISSUES UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE IS RELEASED!

The second solution is that a working ModMii temp folder has been uploaded to the Mario cube repository, or so I'm told. Can't\won't link to it, but it's easy enough to find.

I'll try to push an official update soon so that these workarounds won't be necessary for long.

 

[hdherlambang]

the .wad files

 

[XFlak]

Ios, cios, system menu, wiiware or VC wads, no, you can't link them publically on gbatemp.

If u have constructed a wad that doesn't contain copywritten Nintendo code (E. G. A forwarder channel) then this is fine to share on gbatemp.

Yes,confirmed,it is so.

this worked wonderfully btw.

I know, but I would need to get an external drive and set that up... I imagine I would need usbloader gx as well? I'll look into setting this up since I am kind of tired of burning discs

Hello, i got a old wii 4.1E

First i hacked the wii thrue Str2haxand got the homebrew channel, then i couldnt make the d2x cios to work and ended up with modmii, didnt work with the modmii skin but dos version did. Installed modmii and it seemed fine but i couldnt get the USB loader to work, it showed up and i had the game showing but when i pressed it got back to homebrew channel. (same with the other hack)

Now, here is where things went bad. I manage do remove the homebrew channel and cant get it back again, i got stuck at the scam site where to press 1.

Any ideas for me to do?

Sry for my bad english, hope you understand what i mean

 

[XFlak]

Does the press 1 button appear? If no, run modmii's hackmii solutions wizard, if yes, try pressing A on GC controller

Edit: you could have an incompatible hdd or not formatted it correctly, is it a small thumb drive?
