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

loquin13 · Feb 12, 2011

Now I am confused...... I remodded using mod me on the 4.2.... got dk on and working... but now I can't get online and get the cover art....I keep getting several different errors when I try to test my connection

I just realized my problem might be more ModMii related, so copy/pasting from noob paradise thread

I recently upgraded all of my softmodding stuff using ModMii. I have come into some problems.

First, I can't get priiloader installed. I had installed priiloader before, but now bootMii loads instead of it everytime I boot. I tried to install it using the app from the homebrew launcher, but it just restarts my wii, it doesn't open. I should mention that I have bootmii installed as boot2.

Also, on some odd times, my Wii crashes and I get a screen full of dump codes and errors (something a DSI exception). This happens everytime that I try to fetch the covers for my wii games from the USB Loader. It also happens when I try to open the Netflix app (which I installed using YAWMM). I can upload these codes if necessary.

help plz?

Note: if Bootmii was installed as boot2, then it will show up as soon as the Wii is turned on AS LONG AS it finds the bootmii folder (mentioned above) on the root of the SD card.
so u should rename the bootmii folder on your sd card something else, and if u ever need bootmii, just rename it back, there are a bunch of apps that will rename the folder for u, but thats for lazy ppl anyways, one is called bootmii switch and can be found in my Top Channels thread. Oh yea, its also possible u have ur priiloader autoboot settings set to load bootmii @ startup instead of priiloader. Also, if u need to access priiloader, after launching the system menu from bootmii @ boot2, hold reset

*If your Wii ever freezes, hold the power button on the Wii for 5 seconds to power it off then try again.

maybe I should edit this part of the guide so that this includes stack dumps and dsi errors, those can occur randomly for no reason and thats normal, if it is very frequently, like urs it could be something more though, how is your usb hard drive formatted, and where do u have you covers folder being saved? Its possible the location doesn't exist, or ur trying to save to the sd card without one in there, or u are having troubles using ntfs or something like that

and I don't support netflix so I don't have any advice regarding netflix, but I will say that if u want netflix, i think its even free from the shopping channel, at least the first couple months or something, some1 correct me if I am wrong

@loquin13,
sounds like an internet connection problem, most likely unrelated to ModMii or even your wii

I am using the Wii Backup Manager that was downloaded from the ModMii guide, and it doesn't seem to copy the covers over the the hard drive. Where should I copy them? My hard is NTFS formatted, and I do have a SD card in my wii, but there is no covers folder or anything like that.

Thanks for the help, I got priiloader working

XFlak · Feb 12, 2011

go to sd\usb:\usb-loader\ and launch the configurator for cfg usbloader executable file, w/e its called, and it will tell ask u to load a bunch of things, say yes, and then read where it supposed to be saved somewhere in the options, most probably sd\usb:\usb-loader\covers\ there are a bunch of other folders in there for 3d covers, full covers, etc. But instead of copying ur covers there, u could just configure cfg usbloader to read the covers folder from wherever u want using the configurator for cfg usb-loader, (just be sure to save any changes before exiting)... also, your wii backup manager questions should go in the wiibackup manager thread, but no worries

MarioBrotha · Feb 12, 2011

Ok, thanks for your help

Would my problems regarding the DSI exception error be more related to the USB Loader thread or this one?

chop · Feb 12, 2011

When I open the folder on my computer where Modmii is stored the computer freeze's for about 30 seconds. the mouse pointer still moves but I can't click on anything.

C.S.I. · Feb 12, 2011

Sounds like your PC is unhappy.

Has nothing to do with ModMii, as you have yet to even launch the software.

Unless the download has a virus and your AV is having a hernia.

Try deleting it, and re-downloading from Xflaks links.

This is normal on a slow PC (I get it for 5 - 6 seconds ) - especially if you have other .exe files in the same folder.

xflak,

great tool, works well and is easy to understand. Thanks

iancer · Feb 14, 2011

i keep getting an error:
modmii cant download a base wad...
im trying to get 250dx56 but the program wont download...
any suggestions? is it a NUS issue?
thank you!

XFlak · Feb 14, 2011

what do u mean it won't download? More specifics on the problem would help me help you. In any case, the problem is probably you need to install or reinstall your 3.5 .NET Framework. It could also be being blocked by your firewall/anti-virus.

iancer · Feb 14, 2011

nus 404 error...
please help. i just want 250dx56

thank you

XFlak · Feb 14, 2011

its working fine here, make sure u have .NET Framework 3.5 installed... if the problem still persists, it could be a problem with your internet connection.

iancer · Feb 14, 2011

i know i have 3.5 installed from when i 1st used modmii, but i get an error when trying to reinstall...
hmmm, alll i want is 250dx56. damn.

r u saying u r getting an error when trying to reinstall .NET Framework? Disregarding ModMii entirely, u should be able to uninstall/reinstall .NET Framework 3.5... so the fact that u cannot to me is an indication that your windows is screwy.

hazzarduk1 · Feb 14, 2011

Thanks for this great tool XFlak. Just a quick question really. I notice modmii seems to use a priiloader 0.4 version which is unable to update, is there a reason for this or am i safe to upgrade to 0.6? it seems 0.4 is unable to boot the wii with the black ops headset plugged in.

there's nothing wrong with the newer priiloader ONCE IT IS INSTALLED. But installing it can lead to bricks as the new installer uses ahbprot and direct hard ware access via the HBC... but the problem is the HBC's network init bug can cause random crashes if a network connection isn't set up, and if this occurs in the middle of a priiloader installation, it can result in brick. This problem will not fully go away until a new HBC is released.

So if u decide to install priiloader v0.6, make sure u have proper brick protection in place (ie. nand dump and bootmii @ boot2 if possible), also be sure to set up an internet connection before trying to install it, otherwise u run the risk of experiencing the HBC network init bug and bricking

Well , i really like to see priiloader 0.6 anyway, but with a warning.

I and a lot of other people tested this version for DacoTaco and this version seems stable enough, and also offers some extra options like go directly to bootmii, so i think it is worth adding, but with a VERY clear warning.

XFlak · Feb 15, 2011

i'm sorry but I disagree, the main purpose of priiloader is brick protection... not all these extra bells and whistles that have been added with newer versions. Priiloader v0.4 offers just as much brick protection as priiloader v0.6, so until the new installer is 100% safe (ie. when a new HBC is released) ModMii will continue to use the version that is most stable, not most recent

if some1 wants the option of installing a newer version, they can do so on their own. Eventually when I'm convinced the latest priiloader is safe for the masses, then I'll add it to ModMii and not a minute sooner

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