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

[XFlak]

Calling all French ModMii users, mamule is swamped and cannot continue translating ModMii into French at the moment... any other volunteers?

 

[ketufe]

what ?

 

[XFlak]

I need someone to take on the job of updating ModMii French from v4.6.1 to v4.7.0 (or 4.7.1, which will likely be released in a couple days). Note, this was a massive update and is going to take a lot of time and work to do.

Xflak and Petspeed , thank you.

Hi there guys. I'm having a bit of trouble getting things working. My Wii is currently 4.1U softmodded, and I plan on keeping it as 4.1U, but I wanted to use Modmii to update my ios files. I went through Modmii and got the files in the COPY_TO_SD folder, and copied them onto my SD card, merging the folders that needed to be merged, and replacing the one file that needed replacing (boot.elf). When I put the card into my Wii and turned it on, I was taken to the bootmii menu and not the regular wii menu so I wasn't able to start the steps in the generated guide. Before I merged the files on my SD however, I made a backup of it's contents, so I have my SD card back to it's original state now. So my question is, what am I doing wrong? Was I not supposed to replace the boot.elf?

Also, I notice in the generated guide, it shows how to install the Homebrew channel as the first step, but since I already have it, do I just ignore this section?

 

[scooby74029]

yeah just ignore it

Yes, you can skip the installation of the HBC; if all you want to do is update your IOS just copy over WAD folder with all the IOS that ModMii downloaded and install via Wad Manager. That's the same thing you will be doing in the guide that ModMii generated for you.

You can use MMM, WiiMod, YAWM to install these doesnt matter. Also provided in ModMii (exception=WiiMod) ModMii is the best tool.

Also if your want to permanently keep your softmod just install a custom system menu using WiiMod.
You will see a option called System Menu select it.
Select "yes" to both "set version" & "set required ios"
It will ask which IOS you want to install the system menu to (I choose IOS123 cause it's easy)
It will then ask you which version# do you want to set your IOS to (65535 is the highest and won't ever get updated by official or disc updates or any updates)
It will then install you a new system menu and you can do a quick update by wifi or disc to get the latest official IOS and you wont have to worry about losing your said system menu and soft mod.

I have a working Priiloader hash_hacks that JoostinOnline was kind enough to make for that that is compatible with this custom 4.1 system menu. Just drop me a pm.

ModMii is the best tool

Ultimately, all I wanted to do was install cIOS249[56]-d2x-v6, but I believe it requires certain other ios files that I do not have. So I should just move all of the wad files that Modmii gave me into my wad folder on my SD card, and install them all?

Download ModMii Installer Here

Download French ModMii Installer Here
French version not updated yet, still at v4.6.1

Download Italian ModMii Installer Here
Italian version not updated yet, still at v4.6.1

Download Dutch ModMii Installer Here
Dutch version not updated yet, still at v4.6.1

See first post for more info.

4.7.1 Changelog

• Stopped converting ModMii.bat into an executable;
  this should prevent false-positive virus detections.
• Changed ModMii's folder structure; everything is now organized in a "Support"
  folder. Additionally, ModMii's NAND builder now loads wads from "temp\wad"
  instead of "temp\install2sneek".
• Added an option to build SNEEK and SNEEK+DI with SD access enabled.
  The default setting is disabled.
• ModMii now uses writecdb.exe by scooby74029 to construct cdb.vff when building
  emulated NANDs. This reduces the amount of time it takes to boot an emulated
  NAND for the first time.
• Added support to save\load multiple download queues.
• Added support for the DarkWii Blue and DarkWii Orange System Menu themes.
• Updated the "create custom.md5" feature in ModMii's Options page.
  Now all files are checksummed instead of just wad\dol\elf\app files.
  Custom.md5's are also updated with the current "Drive" setting.
  This is great for advanced users to debug things. For example, DeadlyFoez
  can now create a custom.md5 using "Copy_to_SD" as his "Drive" setting,
  then share it with Violator who has "C:" as his "Drive" setting. This will
  allow Violator to verify he has the exact same set of files as DeadlyFoez.
• Instead of bundling Unfreezemii.bat with ModMii, users are instructed to type
  "Ctrl+C" then "N" then "Enter" when they encounter long periods of inactivity.
• Fixed bug where URL Forwarders were not using the first 4 characters of the URL
  (ie. "www.hotmail.com" would load "hotmail.com"). Thanks to Winhacker for reporting this problem
• Fixed bug where System Menu themes were not being installed to emulated NANDs.
• Fixed bug causing the Dop-Mii download to fail.
• Code clean-up and other minor changes.
• ModMii, now popping more cherries than Hugh Hefner.

Huge update! You sure this isn't 5.0 XFlak?Well, I said once before that once ModMii reaches v5.0 it will probably be the last ModMii update... and I can say for sure that v4.7.0 isn't the last ModMii update. I plan on supporting giantpune's mailbomb exploit when its released so that ModMii can build the exploit even without internet (unlike letterbomb). I also plan on adding support for a few more system menu themes (orange, pink {for the ladies}, etc.). And there are 2 other things I plan on doing that I'm not gonna mention, but 1 is sneek related and the other will shorten the # of steps in the ModMii Wizard guide. On top of that, if there are any other new scene developments I'll consider supporting them. I might also spend some time cleaning up the code some more... I think a lot of batch coders might want to study and learn from ModMii, so if I can clean up the code it would make their lives easier. On a side note, I've recruited another translator for ModMii, so give it awhile and ModMii should be supported in yet another language!

QUOTE(drvipej @ Aug 23 2011, 03:47 PM) Lastly, I have modded my wii over a year ago and it is still working fine on cIOS v17.
Wanting to got cIOS 249 with a base 56.
I have used ModMii to download cIOS249[56]-d2x-v6.wad

Is it just as simple as installing this?

if that's all u want to do, yes. However, if u have problems installing it, install IOS236 (download page 1), restart your wad manager, load IOS236, and try installing the d2x cIOS again.

um, it can't install dx2, so I use 236 Installer 5, that now asks for IOS36-64-v3551 which I am not sure where to find now.
Can anyone point me in the right direction if possible please?
Regards to ALL

 

[zizer]

use modmii or nus and download IOS36-64-v3551

I just used it 10min ago, all fine

 

[Tachyon1986]

Just used ModMii , wow..what an application! I managed to rehack my Wii flawlessly and the Photo Channel is now working fine. My compliments , I'd send cash via Paypal if my Paypal account wasn't blocked

.

Btw , is it recommended to stay at firmware 4.1U ? There aren't any games that require 4.2U/4.3U I hope?

Games aren't System Menu dependent. With ModMii's setup you can play all your games from the disc channel and through USB loader.

And yes, 4.1 is the optimal menu if you want homebrew.

 

[tueidj]

Homebrew does not care which system menu you use because it's not run from the system menu.

 

[JoostinOnline]

Correction: Most homebrew is not run from the System Menu.

 

[tueidj]

and how is that relevant to the system menu version?
