    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Thanks for the tip! This solved my problem too. I had been using the latest stable version of GX which I believe is 874, and using this guide (43mod), I could not launch USB Loader GX. I could use an older version (843) but that one would not launch Just Dance 2. I found the beta version 938...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    I had the same problem about a week ago (see thread a few pages back). I never solved that one, and figured maybe the USB port was dead on that wii. Well, I ran into the same problem again today with another wii. It's another person who has updated to 4.3U on a wii that I had softmodded a...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Is there a tool to remove the IOS41 stub so I can try that method of softmodding? That older guide also uses IOS15 and I think some older revisions of cIOS's. Not sure if the end result will be the same or different, but it seems to be worth a shot. Yes, the wii has an active internet...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Yes, extract 43mod file to SD card. Insert into wii. Copy the game save file from the SD card to the wii memory (assuming you have played the game already once before). Follow the rest of the guide...everything you need is on the card.

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Here is another bit of info on my problem stated above... I went back and tried the older 43mod guide from a few months ago. In that guide, it uses Wad manager 1.7 and installs IOS41-64-v2835.wad as the first step after getting HBC installed. I tried this guide, and upon trying to install the...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    I looked around on the GX forum, but I don't see similar problems like I've described here. Again... 4.3U... followed this 43mod guide, and all steps reported successfully. (Repeated several times successfully, actually). Launching USB Loader GX results in a stack dump, and this is with a...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    I have softmodded a lot of wii's, including several 4.3U's. However, I just came across a problem I can't resolve. I softmodded a customer's wii about a year ago on 4.2U and he just updated to 4.3U today (told him not to, but... he wanted/needed an updated shopping channel). So now he's on...

    Hacking 4.3U virgin Wii with bad optical drive

    I'm tasked with softmodding a wii for a friend, and I discover that they have already upgraded to 4.3U. I try using the Indy Jones exploit with an original game disc to get the softmod going, and I'm getting disc read error with grinding sounds from the drive... not good. Drive must have been...

    Hardware Annoying Guitar Hero strum click noise

    I've had a Rock Band guitar, and now I also have a Guitar Hero guitar so I can play both types of games. My RB guitar is silent when I hit the strum thingy, but the GH guitar makes an annoying clicking sound when I strum. It sounds like there is a microswitch inside the guitar that is making...

    Hardware Wii won't boot -- black screen -- no video output

    Hey guys. I picked up a dead wii that needs repair. It has never been modded before. When I press the power button, the light turns green, and slot glows blue when I press eject, but I do not get the health/safety screen... just a black screen and no audio or video signal to the tv. I do not...
