    Wii #2642 - The Smurfs: Dance Party (USA)

    The main Just Dance games are actually a lot of fun when you have a lot of people over. But I won't disagree about this Smurfs game. But if you must play it, and before anyone asks how to get past the "MetaFortress RESPONSE!" screen, try using WiiFlow, with Block IOS Reload set to On, and use...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    I'm rehacking my Wii (due to an accident with Pimp My Wii, and a subsequent bootmii restore bringing it back to a previous but not recent state)... I'm at 4.2U. Should I update to 4.3U before following the steps, or do you recommend that I leave it and do the 4.2U steps? Since my Wii has been...

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Question: Both me and my friend use USB Loader GX. I've used mine to copy retail disc games to my hard drive, but when my friend does it, his games don't seem to have copied properly and freeze up and have bugs. I seem to recall quite a while ago there was a bug or something, probably some IOS...

    Hacking Using NeoGamma to play retail Japanese discs on American Wii?

    I've heard that I can use NeoGamma to play Japanese GameCube games on a North American Wii, but I haven't had luck. I bought DreamMix TV World Fighters off of eBay for my brother for Christmas, but we're still waiting (and it's been almost two months!) for my Freeloader disc from Play-Asia.com...

    Wii #XXXX - Metroid: Other M (USA)

    That's likely the bad dump that's going around. Download either a save that has the game completed (you won't be able to unlock things like Hard Mode and the theater/gallery yourself, but at least you can skip cutscenes with the (-) button, so skip that one scene and watch it on YouTube), or a...

    Wii #2171 - Metroid: Other M (USA)

    For anyone stuck at Baby's Cry scene, couldn't you do this? 1. Download the save with everything unlocked at GameFAQs and copy the save to your Wii. (This allows you to skip cutscenes by pressing the (-) button.) 2. Start a new game. After the tutorial, skip that cutscene. Play until the...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    Thanks so much! I managed to get this to work on my friend's Wii (I'm the guy who bricked another one of his earlier on in the week by being hasty). Your clear-cut, no-nonsense instructions certainly helped. Two points: 1. If it hasn't been mentioned, you should add a simple optional step...

    Hacking I may have bricked my friend's Wii :(

    Thanks, xzxero. I think I misread your first post as being condescending or sarcastic. Sorry about snapping earlier. But in any case your guide that you mentioned looks helpful. Another question: wiiman123 suggested i look at VGC Repairs. Looks like we may be able to get the Wii unbricked...

    Hacking I may have bricked my friend's Wii :(

    Well, whatever, I know what went wrong now, this is all going to be worked out one way or another, in the worst case scenario it's just money, yeah, yeah, so you think I'm a n00b just for messing up one of three, however obvious it is for me to have avoided it, etc. etc. Hope you guys have...

    Hacking I may have bricked my friend's Wii :(

    Okay, I think I see where I went wrong. Reading this guide here: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-g...od-any-wii.html Here are the two points I should've noticed: "If you bought your Wii this year and it came with 3.4+ on it then it will be a boot2 v4." "This step is optional unless...

    Hacking I may have bricked my friend's Wii :(

    This is the third time I've hacked a Wii, but this time around was a lot later than the other two. Unfortunately this is a friend's Wii now, so I feel really bad about it. But enough with that, let's see if I have any chance of fixing this. I used bannerbomb this time instead of the Twilight...

    Kick Gaming site re-launch and contest!

    As a Canadian, I'm appreciative of any web site that caters well to us Canadians, since anything ordered from the States is usually subject to ridiculous shipping charges or customs or checks. I believe I've bought from Kick Trading before, and for sure I'll take another look now. Go Canadians!

    Homebrew Are there any text file WRITERS out there? Not just for reading, but

    I've seen a number of topics on here about various text readers, but I've had trouble finding any that are actually text writers. And that can save to a text file. Anyone know of any? EDIT: Google gave me some suggestions. ;>_> I hope DSOrganize works...

    Hacking The Preloader Guide

    Thanks for the guide, it worked for me. I'm at 4.0U so I followed the 4.0 instructions. Now a friend of mine may want to install the preloader. He's using 3.4U, though, with HBC already installed. He tried to install a cIOS to get a USB loader working, but was getting an error. Then I...

    Hacking Punch out system update

    Okay, I decided to play it safe and install Preloader since it sounded really easy to do. And it indeed is, thanks to the Preloader guide on these forums. Pretty sure I'm ready to go when I get the actual disc, as I now have the "Stop Disc Update" option enabled. Thanks to afif95 for his...

    Hacking Punch out system update

    So if the Punch-Out!! disc asks to update and only brings it up to 3.4, what if you already have 4.0? Will it even try to update? I thought I heard someone say it still would, because it's checking other system files. I have 4.0u, and I don't want to lose HBC and USB loader functionality just...

    Hacking Punch out system update

    I think I may be in the same boat as squablo, or at least similar... My Wii is softmodded; it's got system OS version 4.0U and I've got the Homebrew Channel installed. I plan to purchase Punch-Out!! but I too am concerned if doing the update from the disc itself will render the Homebrew...

    Hacking Can no longer dump games using USB Loader 1.5, when I once could...

    For now, store-bought games. Funny about that bug you mentioned, olliepop2000. I had a third bout of dumping being difficult yesterday (seems like a near-daily occurence), which I seemingly remedied this time with a third method - by installing more games via the WBFS Manager first, then in...

    Hacking Can no longer dump games using USB Loader 1.5, when I once could...

    After a wasted evening of trying and retrying, this second time I finally fixed it by formatting the hard drive (again). Of course, I backed up everything that was on there before. It's weird how it's the same error but I fixed it a different way. It's going to be a pain if it continues to...
