    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Sorry for my late response, busy times. Anything is possible. I highly doubt that I did it, there was no reason for me to do such a thing. But, I can't rule out that I did. Just tried. As you anticipated - it didn't touch bin backup files. As I don't have an SD card available, I made a copy...

    The wizard did list what would be deleted. Was not sure how to remove from the list, but honestly, I did not care as I had a backup. The nand.bin & keys.bin were also deleted from the MicroSD card. I'll be glad to upload a screenshot, but I'm not sure what screen exactly you are interested in...

    Thanks! I am aware of the information you posted on the screenshot. But, during the process of following the guide I have encountered the problem of using a 8GB and 64GB MicroSD cards and failed to run the bannerbobm v1 exploit as the card could not be read by the system. Most people are...

    DONE!!! Thank you so much! The wii console was modded. I followed the ModMii generated guide to the letter. I used a 2GB MicroSD card and an adapter from MicroSD to full size SD. Worked perfectly. After completing the guide I managed transferring one of the CDs to an external USB HDD, ejected...

    Excellent! I looked around for a 1 or 2GB card, hopefully I'll borrow one from a neighbor and once system will be updated to 4.3E, I'll use the 64GB one. Thank you! In one of previous message I wrote Anyway, one of my neighbors thinks he has a 2GB SD/MicroSD card from an old digital camera...

    Thanks! I've checked the changelog history of the wii system menu on nintendo's website (link). The first update in the Wii menu 4.0 is: The Wii console can now use SDHC (SD High Capacity) Cards with a maximum of 32GB of storage. Games and channels which read from or save to SD Cards will...

    Thank you both for your in-depth insights. I finally came around to go ahead with the softmodding. I have the time and with the research done the past few weeks made me feel comfortable enough. I am aware that I don't fully understand all the ins and outs. Anyway, unfortunately, I came into a...

    Thank you! I have just finished reading carefully the extremely helpful guide generated by ModMii (WOW!!!!). The guide indicated that the exploit used is Bannerbomb v1 (first time I've encountered this exploit) and the way to run the exploit seems to be different. Where in order to run...

    @Ryccardo - THANK YOU. I have no words on your detailed responce. I did not understand half of it and I am aware there is so much more to learn in the "wii world". As I wrote not long ago, up until a week or two I have never ever used a gaming console of any kind. You mentioned Dolphin and I...

    Unfortunately, the 32GB MicroSD card that I found is faulty and unusable. Back to wondering if I should purchase a NEW card or use the old 4 / 8 GB card without keeping it in the console. How will it affect the Open Shop Channel downloads etc.

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Thank you very much. There are still things I'm trying to figure out. For example, I didn't fully understand why cIOS are installed. From the information I've read, there's no downside to installing cIOSs, but I haven't yet understood the purpose of the installation. On the one hand, as I...

    Thank you for the quick and comprehensive response. My relative handed me the Wii in order to go ahead with the modding. I probably won't have time this weekend, but I hope to have time for it next. Anyway, the device label says "RVL-001 (EUR)" so I assume, as you wrote, that it's not a concern...

    Hello, English is not my mother tongue, I hope you will excuse my bad grammar and vocabulary. Wii console running 3.4E version. It seems it was never modded. Knowing the previous owners of the console, it was probably never connected to the internet. In order to backup a few CDs which have seen...
