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

    If you can, download hard disk sentinel and plug the hdd via usb to your PC. Hard Disk Sentinel is a program that checks the status of the HDD, SSD, etc. and tells you it's current health.

    Misc Can I buy a bluetooth usb dongle, stick it to the back of the wii and connect a PS3 controller via it?

    I bought a similar controller to this one and it doesn't quite works on the PC. I was wondering if I could buy a bluetooth usb dongle and connect it. It's for a wii of a family member, given the official Wii Pro Controller is... finicky about being connected. It's use would be with emulators...

    I installed a broken Wii Menu version, and I need help to fix it if possible

    It happened last year, I remember it made front page. It what nintendo used to repair broken wii's with. It would if I recall correctly, replace any modded IOS with factory versions.

    Another option could be trying to hunt down the leaked wii repair disc. It should virginize your wii iirc.

    Sakura Wars, So Long my love Wii NTSC-U crashes on the 2nd stage of the boss fight

    I am unsure which IOS to use, CFG mod is using for some reason 248. Since its a DL game it goes also for IOS 53. The crash is consistent and happens on CFG and Wiiflow, will test later GX, but I don't expect a different result. I guess I can try with 249, 250 and 251. I have used two different...

    Homebrew Not64 Update

    Testing Banjo Tooie NTSC-U, most of the issues are at a first glance, gone. There is still the reocurring problems that on jump the entire game's textures will unload, leaving a featurless white void for a second. And Audio issues, it suffers from random slowdowns. I need to toy with the...

    [Ocarina][USBLoaderGX][Nintendont] Cheat code not working on Gamecube game

    Its not a problem of Ocarina, its how nintendon't loads games. In short it "shifts" the internal memory addresses, so its a gamble if a code will work or not. Some might, some won't and some will crash the system.

    Hacking HELP, Sin And Punishment 2 gives a black screen on USB Loader

    don't stick also to just USB loader GX, try wiiflow and CFG mod. Its not always relevant, but there might be a setting you changed in GX that's also part of the cause. Having multiple avenues to test is well worth the hassle of swapping between three different loaders. Some games might not work...

    Hacking HELP, Sin And Punishment 2 gives a black screen on USB Loader

    I can see two posibilities. Either, a bad dump of the game, or the stick is not playing nicely with the wii. Sticks aren't exactly reliable. So for the first one, try to get a new dump of S&P:Star successor and check. I had a similar issue with metroid prime 3 corruption, and it was a bad dump.

    Metroid Prime 3 NTSC-U crashes at Norion, every time.

    No Y cable, but the enclosure came with an AC power cord which is plugged and the cable is indeed plugged to port 0. Currently I managed to move from the Norion crash and so far no crashes.

    Metroid Prime 3 NTSC-U crashes at Norion, every time.

    ya but I tried about 5 different dumps and I kept getting the same exact issue over and over again. Given that 5 different .iso files (converted via Wii Backup Manager with no issues) I thought "all right, it might not be the .iso, but a damaged file" I'll update to v10 tonight.

    Metroid Prime 3 NTSC-U crashes at Norion, every time.

    I updated yesterday the CIOS, I thought I had edited them in, but seems not. Modmii only pointed me to update IOS 11,20,30,40,50, 52,60, 70 and 80. and CIOS 251 to dx10 beta52 I put 249 as dx2-v8 because of an old rec from here suggested it as a way to fix the crash. Seems the problem was...
