Hi, I'm just about to mod my Wii with ModMii for the first time but the app shows an error at the start of the process: "Get-Disk.vbs not found", but the file is actually in the ModMii temp folder. After I click OK it proceeds to download all the files and place them on SD card and it finishes with "Success". Should I just ignore this?

Did you downloaded the latest ModMii version?

Sure, my system is in Polish so I'll translate:
Wiersz - Line
Znak - Char
Blad - Error: The system cannot find the file specified
Kod - Code
Zrodlo - Source

I do, it seems despite the error it places the files on SD card just fine but I'm not sure if I should continue
If you're unsure that its done it properly, redo the process again. Or ask @XFlak for help.

U can safely ignore that message. It is simply trying to detect the format details of hdd connected to include in a spoiler in your guide to save u the trouble of manually checking following the steps in your guide. The error is harmless and u can ignore it

Edit: I added this to the bottom of the first post, under the known bugs section

False positive, it's not a virus, it's all open source and safe. Most anti-viruses recognize this, and if u upload modmii to virus total you'll see most agree it is safe

Edit: I'm genuinely curious how u expected me to respond, lol. Like did you expect a "whoops u caught me" or something? Lol

Edit2: also this is directly from the website right by the download link "WARNING: A small percentage of antivirus software may flag ModMii as dangerous; these are false-positives. ModMii does NOT contain any viruses.

If for some reason you can't run the ModMii Installer you can download the latest portable zip.
Unzip it anywhere on your PC then just double-click ModMii.exe or ModMiiSkin.exe."

Way to go, guys! Let's shoot for forty! :D (just kidding)

I can assure you that they are false positives. I honestly don't understand why people are super paranoid by this stuff. If they're too unsure, use a virtual machine.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
