    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Yep. I did this about 1 year ago when the USB loader was somewhat of the cutting edge. This key actually has a LED blinker on it. Apparently the Wii did access it but could not read anything off it. UPDATE: never mind, I reformatted with latest WBFS manager (Wii Backup Manager), and everything...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    I followed the guide and installed everything as recommended. Thanks for the guide. So after the mod, I checked my old WiiGator Gamma Backuploader and Ultimate USB Loader stopped working. No problem. So I deleted those wads/channels and installed the NeoGamma loader and USB Loader GX. NeoGamma...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Thanks. Just to double check, is the complete softmod guide supposed to work on non-virgin Wiis?

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Last time I did any soft-mod was around May 2009. I started as noob but was able to do what I wanted--to play Wii games from backup DVDs. Also at the time the USB loader was the cutting edge so the last thing I managed to do was to load our popular games from a 16G USB key. Fast forward to...

    Hacking Waninkoko's "Firmware Updater 4.0"

    I found this thread because I can't upgrade to the latest HBC on my 3.2U. What's the safest way to do it? Currently my brick prevention is done by starfall, which is outdated I heard. Should I install Bootmii, do a NAND back up, then follow the directions with waninkoko's upgrader ? Is the...

    Hacking Installed HBC 1.0.3 and now it doens't start

    Same here--tried uninstall (sucess) and install 1.0.3 with hackmii installer. Always get a black screen on HBC start page. Reinstalled HBC 1.0.1 everything works. This is 3.2U firmware. Maybe people have better lucks with the 4.0 firmware.

    Hacking Installed HBC 1.0.3 and now it doens't start

    Can you load hackmii 0.2 installer with bannerbomb? I did that, then uninstalled HBC. Next step is to replace the installer with the HBC 1.0.1 installer, and run bannerbomb again. At least I am back to where I was, and I am not messing with it anymore.

    Hacking Installed HBC 1.0.3 and now it doens't start

    I used the boot.dol in my original twilight hack zip. Did you check wiibrew or hackmii sites for earlier versions?

    Hacking Installed HBC 1.0.3 and now it doens't start

    Maybe in the efforts to make HBC work with SDHC, it lost the compatibility with old SD card. HBC1.0.3 hang on the blacksreen before loading SD.

    Hacking Installed HBC 1.0.3 and now it doens't start

    I have the identical setup and identical experience, posted Q/A in the noob thread yesterday. Now I am back to HBC 1.0.1. I also installed a USB loader forwarder channel therefore people won't accidentally upgrade the HBC when I am not around.

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Yep, that is what I did, and everything is fine with HBC1.0.1. This whole HBC update turned out not for the faint of heart! Now I am off to figure out a USB loader channel because it is just too annoying to have the update prompt on HBC.

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Same issue means that the HBC channel exists but won't load anything, i.e. freezes after start? This is bad, I thought banner boom will do it for me but from what you are saying this isn't going to help? Now does twilight hack require an original Zhelda or a backup will surfice?

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    For a few days there has been an upgrade prompt on HBC. I googled a bit and didn't find any disasters so I went through with the online installation of ONLY the new HBC. I skipped the bootmii and DVDX. But after reboot the HBC channel stopped working. The channel is still there but after I...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Could anyone take a look at this? Also my shopping channel isn't working, which is not a problem to me.

    Hacking ** Ultimate USB Loader & Accessories Bible For Dummies **

    Yes, I should have asked if I will lose play-ability of the games ripped this way. For example, I added the game to USB with loader (Wii sports = 0.5GB), and extracted it to PC's HD with WBFS manager which padded the file to a 4.5GB ISO. So in the future if I burn the ISO to DVD media or add...
