So, a year or two ago, I hacked my Wii for the first time. All I did, I believe, was install the HBC with the guide on WiiBrew, along with some apps. Frequently, I would experience some bad things, like the infamous "Exception (DSI) occured" frequently, along with my Wii freezing. :/ It never really broke or bricked, though, as I could perfectly use the regular functions of the Wii, like play games, make and edit Miis, etc. Recently, a friend of mine was saying how cool a hacked Wii is, and I told him that I had hacked mine, but that it frequently freezes and shit. He asked me what was up, and, as the conversation went, we came to the conclusion that I had not truly hacked my Wii, but that all I had done was install the HBC. -_- So, I figured there was more to do than just download and run apps from the HBC, like play backups through a DVD or USB loader, or back up and play VC backups. Mouthful. He linked me to this guide made by Mauifrog on the Wiihacks boards, that said "softmod ANY Wii", which I can't seem to find right now, for your reference. Arguably removed or some shit. So, I followed the steps for my European PAL 4.3 Wii without any problems whatsoever, but the very same keeps happening. All HBC apps freeze on my ass, and I'm not prone to try anything other than that, in fear of a brick. Now, I know I have preventive things like PriiLoader and BootMii, but still: fuck. Now that I've told my TL;DR tale of my inability to do anything outside of the box on the Wii without tripping over a virtual vine of thick "Exception (DSI) occured" and "screw you, I'm freezing on you", I'd like some help, pl0x. Note that this is my first post on this forum, and that I may have made this topic for nothing. If so, I appologize, but both the fact that I'm new here and can't quite find my way yet, and that this is a case of HBC installation > HBC installation + softmod might make it up for you. If I'm wasting valuable kilobytes of forum space, linking me to another topic and deleting this one, if pointless, would be much appreciated. :3

Thanks,

Thanks a bunch. Sounds a whole lot easier than the entire manual thing. Telling it it's virgin ought to go well, right? lolvirgin.

It's connected to the internet, yeah, so it could be that bug.

As much as I'm unknown to a lot of the terms you just used, like "IIRC", "AHBPROT" and "IOS58" apps, still a nice piece of advice.

>just run through modmii: hopefully all problems clear up... report back your results!
Will do, as soon as I'm in proximity of my Wii. Also, thanks for being so caring for and being so interested in my issue!

 

You may have found out about this, but still:

-IIRC is the abbreviation of "If I Recall Correctly"
-AHBPROT is...erm...kinda hard to say. It's a relatively new way for homebrew to use an IOS (without the IOS having to be hacked in the first place).
-IOS58: for a wii, the IOS is pretty comparable to the BIOS in a PC. Except that it has a whole bunch of 'em. IOS58 is one of the rather new ones that is often used by homebrew.


As for your more recent post...modmii is only the PC counterpart of things. If all goes well, you have a bunch of .wad files on your SD card, and probably some stuff in the \apps folder as well.

If you open up the homebrew channel, it should name the homebrew you put on your SD card (that's how you run any homebrew, by the way: just put boot.dol in "SD:\apps\nameoftheapp\", and you can find it in the homebrew channel).
Those wads need to be installed. I dunno by heart, but it's likely that modmii threw some sort of wad manager in the mix of things. Look in the homebrew channel for a program called wad manager, yawmm, MMM or dop-mii. Run it and use it to install the wads you have on your SD card.

 

The statements in bold are very stupid. Why would you think it's okay to skip things? They are essential. Did you even read the directions?

You can try a flash drive if you want, but something that small will only hold one or two small games.

 

I think that would be the safest option, just in case you missed something else. Make sure you update ModMii too, because you shouldn't have gotten those errors.

 

Lol, you don't have 4.3. You have mauifrog's patched 4.1P System Menu (which is good). Install Priiloader v0.6 and put this file on the root of your SD card. Don't rename it.

If you install v0.7 instead, you have to put the file in "SD:\apps\priiloader\" instead. I still don't know why Daco Taco insisted on switching the directories from simple and convenient to stupid and annoying.

 

>>JoostinOnline
The file you sent me fixed my issue in Priiloader, and I got the hacks up and working! Thanks!

Once that was out of the way, I proceeded to the WAD step, where I once again can't manage to install the Shop Channel WAD. Anyone know what I could do to fix that, or could I just ignore that, seeing as how it's just a lame channel I've barely used until now, save for the three VC games I purchased.

 

>>Hielkenator
What is it you mean? You mean that MMM thing? I used that to install the WADs, all except the shop channel, which didn't work, which is what I'm trying to fix.
