[Desperation]

I tried that crazycaveman, but when I put into my SD slot and click the SD icon on my wii, nothing shows up in the channels

Hi there,
I've recently applied the ModMii pack to my Wii (multiple times, including a couple of hours ago, always with the latest version) and I believe it's the cause of an issue I'm having.
I can't guarantee that ModMii is responsible for it, as it involves a feature I don't often use.
Basically, the Internet channel has issues, whereby the text-entry screen doesn't work, until I hide the auto-complete box at the top of the screen. Also, if I try to change the dictionary language, the Wii freezes and requires a hard reset.
Once I disable the auto-complete, I'm able to enter searches, URLs, etc.
I've already tried deleting and reinstalling the Internet channel, from both the .wad and the Shop channel.
My feeling is that the IOS that the Internet channel runs on may have contained the dictionary, but it was removed in the modifications made to the .wad by ModMii.
Any further suggestions, things I may have missed, etc?

This issue has nothing to do specifically with ModMii. IIRC the internet channel uses IOS55, you can try reinstalling that IOS and see if that fixes your problem. Aside from that I'm not sure what else could be causing your issue or how to fix it.

What? Are you attempting to run ModMii from your Wii? ModMii is a program you run from your Windows computer, not the Wii. Run ModMii from your computer and use the Wizard option to re-hack your Wii (as I posted before). I thought you were saying your Wii wouldn't boot, but clearly I misunderstood

Well here's the thing: I have a hard modded Japanese Wii and I updated it with a different region update (yeah I'm stupid I know...) and now it won't read any of my back up disks or my Super Smash Bros/ Just Dance Disks (US region) so how do I use modmii properly without a way to boot it up?

ModMii is a Windows program. Download the installer and run it. Follow the prompts.

OK, I've tried installing fresh, unmodified .wads of the IOSs that each individual version of the Internet channel runs on (15, 21, 34, and 55), however none of those have fixed the error.
Does anyone know which file is likely to contain the dictionary used by the Internet channel?

Doesn't the Internet channel also have a "save game" for its' data? Maybe that's causing the problems, but I don't know if it would've gotten wiped out by uninstalling the channel...

Can this mod play ISO files through a USB storage, SD card, and DVDs (single and dual)?

..So is it possible to do what I just asked? I understand that it's just a computer installation tutorial but I'm asking if what it uses to mod a wii lets me do that.

Yes, ModMii can assist you in loading backups of your games via a USB hard drive or SD card. Newer model wii's have a dvd drive that cannot read backup discs, but if you're wii has an older model dvd drive, ModMii will also assist you in loading backup discs. However, usb-loading is superior anyways, so backup disc loading is kind of pointless these days. Also, just an FYI, most loaders and game backup managers have default settings to rip games as wbfs files, not ISOs. Essentially it's the same thing except wbfs files take up less space.

After making a nand backup (just in case this doesn't work), you can try formatting your wii back to factory settings via the official wii menu. This will remove any channels and game saves you have (which u can recover from your nand backup if necessary). TBH, I'm guessing here, it might not work and you could just end up making more work for yourself (i.e. having to restore your gamesaves and such).

You're very welcome!

No, only favorites are stored there.

Bug report: I can't change the version number of a cIOS when using Advanced Downloads. The file name shows that it's v65535, but if you install it or check it with ShowMiiWads, it will still be the original.

Just an update on this. I fixed this bug and got Joostin to confirm it's working properly. If anyone else urgently wants this fix I can put out a bug fix update, but I'm hoping to wait for more substantial changes before the next update. So unless a bugfix update is requested, this fix will be included in the next larger update (probably a week or so away if I have to guess).

Hey X-Flak, why not put Unbricking options in ModMii? It will surely help people who have bricked their Wiis. Another is that they wouldn't have to Ask and post questions in the forum again and again.

Because there are too many brick type scenarios and each one needs individual attention to prevent it from getting worse. Plus, many people who end up with brick were not following instructions or they were mindlessly doing things. So considering that fact, even if XFlak pulled off the huge task of covering every possible brick scenario, would the person all of a sudden start following directions? History has proven "NO".
