I suspect your PC is blocking the download for some reason

Manually safe the rar to your modmii temp folder if u like.

Translated versions got blocked by bitdefender,original english verion not.
And it's strangely the only thing i can't force bitdefender to ignore the risk.
it's wierd, but i had to shut off bitdefender to download it, ones downloaded scanning the file (even extracted) it says no risk found.

I just added a known bugs section to bottom of 1st post. Unfortunately a rogue bug has been spotted. This bug was present in 6.6.3 for the last 2 years, bad timing that it came to light just 5 days after v7.0.0 was released!

Known bugs
1) Reported March 15, 2023: ModMii crashes when analyzing French SysCheck log's running HBC v1.1.0 or lower. Details and workaround solution documented here.

hi all,
i'd like to, once again, thank everyone for their hard work. i can't figure out what devkitpro and libogc i need to compile dols in customizemii for forwarders. i can't get the advanced forwarder menu to come up (trying to make an SRL of maximum hangtime arcade). thanks

XFlak · Mar 17, 2023

Start modmii classic, then from the main menu enter A, then F, then follow the prompts to build an (A)dvanced (F)orwarder dol of your choice. Then inject said forwarder dol into your wad using customize mii or showmiiwads or whatever. No need to bother with devkitpro just to build a forwarder

thanks for your reply, i'd like to add the sound file to the forwarder channel along with the image. also, is it normal for the forwarder to show the command line stuff before starting the game? some other forwarders i've found just load their respective homebrew/game without the short command line window. thanks.

XFlak · Mar 17, 2023

Modmii's dols are silent, but there are others that are not. And there are yet other types that even have unique splash screen images before launching the app.

To make other edits to the channel, like sounds and images, use customize mii. Customize mii is great but making forwarder dol's with it is challenging and the output isn't as optimal as Modmii's anyway

thanks for your reply, would you happen to know the devkit version i need? customizemii doesn't detect the latest version

XFlak · Mar 17, 2023

Maybe you didn't understand. You don't need devkit

Build the dol with modmii

Inject dol into wad using customize mii or showmiiwads

Now if u want to build a dol using customize mii then you would need devkit. But the dols it builds, even if u get it working, aren't as good as the dol's modmii builds.

ok, apologies for the misunderstanding, sometimes all the recent homebrew takes a minute to sink in for me

once i've got my forwarder dol into customizemii, is there an easy way to edit the graphics and sound? would i extract them and edit in something like photoshop and audacity, etc?

ReiKio · Mar 19, 2023

Hi XFlak, thanks for continuing to improve ModMii, but, I need some help, when I try to go to any download page, I get this error, where it says "DLPAGE1.hta is not a valid Win32 path"

XFlak · Mar 19, 2023

Can you confirm the path/file exists?

Someone else had some issues with hta files yesterday. The reason was due to arbitrary restrictions on his windows machine. By default windows should run hta files without issue.

These links resolved the problem for the last user, although his error was a bit different than the one your getting

Yes, that link worked for me. I used the same comp as I ran ModMii, and had disabled my firewalls and antivirus for both the comp and network when I ran ModMii, but had them all enabled when using Firefox to open your provided link. No issues with space availability either.

P.S. Sorry for taking so long to respond, I really jacked up my back and couldn't do anything.

XFlak · Mar 22, 2023

If you save the rar to modmii's temp folder, does modmii pick it up?

I gotta say this is strange indeed.

edit: customize mii will automatically take sounds and images, and make them the proper format for your forwarder wad (no advanced forwarding needed)

When I'm creating an emunand, it closes the program suddenly and won't let me create it, I'm in its latest version, this didn't happen to me before, I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and it was the same, I hope it helps me. @XFlak , Thanks

XFlak · Mar 26, 2023

What exact specifications are you entering? When exactly does it close? Any on screen indications of something amiss? A video or screenshots or more info may be helpful

Edit: btw I don't think I changed much with the emunand builder, other than having to re-download ios's that is

Zorg07 · Mar 26, 2023

This is what happens to me

XFlak · Mar 26, 2023

It's working for me, and where it's crashing things haven't really changed. U sure 6.6.3 was working for you? Your issue seems related to installing neek btw, it should be able to build you an emunand if you choose just that option.

Does this neek2o download link work for you?
http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/neek2o/neek2o-rev96.zip

Do you have the zip saved to your ModMii folder? Or ModMii's temp\neek2o folder?

Try manually saving that zip you download from the link above to <ModMii directory>\temp\neek2o\neek2o-rev96.zip and try again

Do you have a <ModMii directory>\temp\7zalog.txt file? What does it say?

If you want to go the extra mile, you could open Support\ModMii.bat and go to around line 24320 and start adding extra lines with just the "pause" command to help determine which line specifically is causing the crash. Testing will go faster if you just run ModMii to install neek and not build neek plus an emunand.

I just want to give a shout out of appreciation to XFlax. In general I like using the d2x installer better than ModMii, but I was doing some testing and my Wii was acting really strange. Controllers would not connect. Games that would load before would not load. A Syscheck said everything was correct. I had no idea what went wrong. So I decided to stop using the d2x installer and use ModMii instead which I had used for other stuff in the past. I installed the cIOS wads that ModMii made for me.... and even though it installed all the same stuff as the d2x installer.... the ModMii wads worked!!!

Thanks xFlax you saved my Wii. My kids will never know the debt of gratitude they owe you. HA!

Hello everyone! So, I've been having this issue recently and I have no idea what might be wrong, ModMii just updated to version 7.0, since then, when I enter the option to generate the files for SNEEK or UNEEK use, the program won't complete the process for some reason and will only generate the font.bin file, the other files simply won't generate for some reason, particularly the kernel.bin file is the one that interest me because I deleted the old one, and without it nand emulation won't work at all, I don't know if a setting is wrong or what might be the issue.

Has anyone else had this issue before? How did you solve it? I hope someone can help me with this.

Did ModMii work for you?

No, and I won't report what went wrong because I am a troll

No, and I posted what went wrong
