    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    Got through the Priiloader but when I chose System Menu Hacks it says "Could find any hacks for system menu version v54449" I tried the Check For Update option and that said: Error getting versions from server. I'm skipping that for now so let me know if it's important or not. :)

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    OK. I did the Install HBC and Install BootMii as IOS this morning. Then I had to go to work. More to come tonight and hopefully get this finished up.

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    So here's my current status: Booted up the Wii and went to the HB channel Prompted for an update from 1.08. to 1.10 Said Yes Update installed and took me to a "Software must not be sold" screen. Sat at that screen for over 5 minutes and nothing happened. Powered off the Wii and went back in...

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    OK, I ran ModMii and it did a bunch of stuff. Tiny font so was hard to read but I didn't see any errors. Now I have the Guide with a bunch of steps. Do I need to do them all or should I skip anything since my Wii was previously modded? I'm on v4.1 if that matters.

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    OK, I'm looking for Youtube videos that show how it works right now. Two questions: 1) Do I grab the SD card out of my Wii and run ModMii against that? 2) Do I still have to have one of the specific games to do the mod or do I not need to worry about that since I'm already modded from before?

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    So let's just assume everything from my hard drive is gone. How do I go about resetting everything so I can start over and reload my games? If I need to update my launcher and such too, I'm game to give that a try. Any sort of tutorial/guide would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    I don't remember the steps I had to go through way back when in order to get games copied to it. I don't think it was as simple as drag and drop within Windows. I'm pretty sure I either used some other program or did it via FTP or something,.

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    I have no idea what file system the drive was before. When I plugged in the drive to my laptop it didn't show any files on it which I expected. I did NOT tell it to format the drive. I ran the Wii backup thing and it told me my drive was valid but it didn't have the wbfs folder and asked it...

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    I don't know where the games are any more. When I view the HDD now it just shows one folder called WBFS but it's empty except for a Disk.Info file. The games were backed up using the Configurable USB Launches and choosing the option to copy the disk to the hard drive. This was many years ago...

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    Well, just put the drive back onto my Wii and fired up COnfigurable USB Loader. I now get an error that the FAT1 drive isn't found. I tell it to continue anyway and it seems all the games are gone or at least it can't read them. Dunno what to do now. :(

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    So I ran the WiBackupManager and pointed it at my drive. It said it was a Valid drive but didn't have a WIBS or WFBS or something folder and should it create one. I said Yes and it has the drive there but it doesn't show any of the games that are already on the drive. I don't want to wipe out...

    Hacking Transfering a game from my laptop to my Wii's hard drive?

    Howdy, I came across a folder on my old laptop that has a bunch of my Wii games that I backed up years and years ago. I dusted off my old modded Wii with an external hard drive and wanted to set this up again for my kids to use. However, it's been so long, I have no idea of how to do this any...
