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

[JuanEspinoza]

Then i'm gonna try softmod my wii this weekend, thanks

It's only for the new wii motes that started selling around November and the new ones that come in the new wii bundle with the mario game +music cd. As soon as anything homebrew runs the remote powers off, so you need to get and older wiimote+motion, original white one or an off brand like Afterglow brand (had trouble with the nyko+motion one)

thx for the info!

5.1.0 Changelog​

• Added a Region Change Wizard complete with custom guides to the Main Menu.
  Any Region Changer v1.1b Mod06 Offline was also added to Download Page 2.
  
• Added neek\neek2o rev selector, now users can choose from a list of available
  versions hosted on googlecode. ModMii's neek installion now use v0.7a of the
  Sneek Installer when installing versions of neek greater than 185. Older versions
  of neek and neek2o will continue to use v0.6c of the Sneek Installer for now.
  
• The ModMii Wizard Guides for already modifed Wii's now always asks users
  if they want to install active IOSs and patched System Menu IOSs.
  This means that users only wanting to update one thing (eg. Shopping Channel)
  can build custom guides that ONLY update that one thing.
  
• Added drag and drop support for ModMii Download Queues. Just drag the download
  queue onto ModMii.exe (or a ModMii shortcut) and ModMii will load it and
  save a copy to temp\DownloadQueues\.
  
• Added drag and drop support for ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier. Just drag the
  folder containing your Emulated NAND onto ModMii.exe (or a ModMii shortcut)
  and ModMii will load your Emulated NAND and prompt you to select which
  modifications to make.
  
• Added drag and drop support for ModMii's File Cleanup Feature. Just drag your
  SD Card (or Copy_to_SD folder) onto ModMii.exe (or a ModMii shortcut) and ModMii
  will load it and wait for confirmation before proceeding with the File Cleanup.
  
• Added disc-based exploits as an option when running ModMii via command line.
  Some other minor changes were made to ModMii's command line usage. See ModMii's
  command line help menu for more info (call "ModMii.exe help" from a cmd window).
  
• Added a work around for a bug in the command line version of Theme Mii when it
  is running portably. If "TMCL.exe" is running portably (ie. not saved to C:\)
  it produces different output. If ModMii determines TMCL.exe is saved portably it
  copies it to C:\ModMii\temp\ before using it. Note that this wasn't a dangerous
  bug because ModMii was correctly reporting the generated themes as invalid.
  
• Fixed a bug where ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier sometimes got lost (ie. running
  in the wrong location) and was unable to locate certain required files.
  The bug only occured when new WADs were NOT being installed to the Emulated NAND.
  
• Other minor changes.

5.1.1 Changelog​

• Fixed bug where ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier would crash if the neek2o option was disabled.
  
• Bugfix: Forgot to include changelog joke in the last update.

It's only for the new wii motes that started selling aroung November and the new ones that come in the new wii bundle with the mario game +music cd. As soon as anything homebrew runs the remote powers off, so you need to get and older wiimote+motion, original white one or an off brand like Afterglow brand (had trouble with the nyko+motion one)

Thanks for the info, unfortunately that's the bundle I bought for xmas...

Another quick bugfix update to v5.1.1

 

[akari212]

I hope you can add this:

- Use BootMii raw NAND Dump (yes the plain NAND.BIN file) as a NEEK NAND and do addition or modifications to for it to make usable in NEEK environment.

- Possible to migrate save files from BootMii dump NAND to a clean ModMii NAND build (this is possible, I've done it manually though)

- Use BootMii NAND dump to extract Wii's Serial Number. Yeah this saves me a lot. As I already have thrashed my Old Wii Casing.

 

[Lucif3r]

I dont think XFlak can do anything about *neek. ModMii simply provides the files. Features outside of modmii should probably be directed to the devs for that specific app.

It can't be display large enough to see well in win 7 system and resolution in 1366*768

 

[soccer05]

@soccer05,
yes, that is correct. You may need to update your usb-loader gx for it to work with the latest d2x cIOSs that ModMii get you to install

I did this yesterday and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

@yixiar,
Check this out for a solution
http://gbatemp.net/topic/207126-modmii-for-windows/page__view__findpost__p__3984342
edit: or just follow Lucif3r's advice above

@akari212,
-I don't think there's a cmd line tool to extract a nand.bin. I could write an autoit script to use a GUI app but I'd probably ask one of my gbatemp friends to see if they can write a cmd line tool for me to use instead. Anyways, I think it's kind of pointless because if you extract a real nand dump to use as your emulated nand there are no modifications that need to be done to it in order for it to work. And if you choose to modify a extracted real nand dump, you can just load it in modmii's emulated nand modifier and make any changes you want.
-About migrating saves, it's a cool idea, but I think there are other tools that can do it already, like Krafter's nand gamesave restore. If anything I could just add an existing tool to modmii's download database so it's easy for people to access.
-About getting the serial from a donor nand, that could be done, but again it would involve extracting at a minimum the setting.txt from the nand, and I don't think it adds a lot of value. If anything I could add the option of dragging\dropping a setting.txt or nand.bin onto the modmii window where it asks for the serial #.

Thanks for the suggestions, even though I shot most of them down, I'll still copy and paste them all to the bottom of my todo\suggestion list and when\if they reach the top of the list and I have time I'll have a look at this again. In the meantime, you can ask Krafter to add any features to his app that you think are missing.

@Lucif3r,
while you're correct I'm not the best person to contact about neek requests, these are all emulated nand related requests and therefore not appropriate in the neek2o thread either.

@soccer05,
sweet! Glad to hear you got everything sorted out.

I have the exact same resolution size on Windows 7, and it displays fine for me. Right-click on the top of the window (the same place you see the icon shown) and click properties. Go to the layout tab and see what "Screen Buffer Size" and "Window Size" are set to. Mine is 85x54

lol. hope you put postloader in modmii.

I hope not, it still fits on my 1024x768 screen, well most of it does..

That , or xflak must make it scaleable, which is not so easy with a DOS screen i think..

EDIT: Joostins solution is pretty good as well

 

[JoostinOnline]

lol. hope you put postloader in modmii.

It's already there (page 2).

 

[Lucif3r]

/confirms
Except I didnt get anything at all downloaded. :

 

[XFlak]

I just tried both and both are working just fine for me. Try deleting\renaming your "temp" folder where modmii.exe is saved. Also, I doubt this is the problem but make sure u have free space on the drives you're using.

edit: really, you confirmed this? Why can't I reproduce it...??? What are the settings u have for modmii's options?

edit2: I tried them both with my existing temp folder and again without a temp folder at all, it worked for me both times

 

[D34DL1N3R]

I tried deleting the temp folder before my previous post, nothing changed. I have default ModMii settings.
