u could try reinstalling the system menu, but that would uninstall priiloader and is riskier than the alternative. I think u should u do a nand restore, then resoftmod your wii from square 1, making sure to install a new system menu (ie. if using ModMii choose a different firmware than what you started on) but also make sure u reinstall priiloader before leaving the HBC. Btw, do u have bootmii installed as boot2?

ModMii for Windows Version 4.8.0
now also Released in Spanish and Italian!
by XFlak



Download ModMii Installer Here

Download Spanish ModMii Installer Here

Download Italian ModMii Installer Here

Download French ModMii Installer Here
French 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.
4.8.0 Changelog
  • New Feature: Emulated NAND Modifer (See ModMii's SNEEK Menu)

    You can now use ModMii to modify your existing Emulated NANDs.
    Add your choice of the following to your Emulated NANDs:
    Homebrew Filter Channel, cIOS249v14, DML, NMM, Priiloader,
    JoyFlow, Themes, Wii Channels and a custom folder of WADs.
    The Emulated NAND Modifer is also able to detect and uninstall
    Priiloader, DML and NMM. It's also able to restore the original
    Wii Theme to Emulated NANDs. If the neek2o option is disabled you
    can choose to install switch2uneek to Emulated NANDs. When
    switch2uneek is not selected ModMii will install the nswitch
    channel if it's missing from the Emulated NAND.
    Currently there is not cmd-line mode support for this feature.
  • SD access option now available for neek2o as well as for the original s\uneek.
  • nswitch channel installed to all emulated nands except when building

    the original s\uneek and users have also opted to install switch2uneek.
  • ModMii now uses a different installer for Priiloader v0.7 which instead

    of IOS236 uses davebaol's solution to the ahbprot connection issue.
  • WiiMod is now used instead of MMM in ModMii Guides.

    MMM is still available via ModMii's Download Page 2.
  • Removed a step from the softmod process. IOS236 is now installed as

    part of the Install WADs Step instead of having its own step.
  • Updated Wii Backup Manager to v0.4.4 build 73.

    Shortcuts to the 64-bit version will be made on 64-bit PCs.
  • Updated JoyFlow to v2.3 which supports the original version of neek AND neek2o.
  • Further modification of Ascii2hex.bat to enhance multi-language support.

    Thanks to geovalley for his solution to this problem.
  • Lifted region\firmware restrictions for building emunands with s\uneek+di.
  • Fixed sysCheck Updater to install a clean IOS58 if it's patched.
  • Added WiiMod and nswitch channel to Download Page 2.
  • In Soviet Russia, ModMii programs you!
  • other minor changes
about to say something stupid about that :shy:

Trying to use sysCheck Updater, got the csv from the console, then on the window where I "drag and drop the csv file, then press enter" all it does is open the file up in Excel spreadsheet. Does it not analyze to see what I need updated? Am I missing something. The console is already soft modded on 4.2, just want to see if I`m missing something.

But as soon as you start to drag any file it highlites it automatically, maybe I can try to type in the path manually, but even thats giving me "incorrect key", etc..message

Thanks XFlak for all the help provided!

Things seem to be working fine now. As suggested in some other forum, but not for this Wii version, I kept my Wii turned off for more than 30 mins and kept my Wiimote battery removed for more than 3 mins. I then powered on both of them and everything seems to work fine. Thanks to all ModMii contributors :-). Can I donate in GBP?

I'm having display issues with my Wii Shop Channel since having updated my softmods with ModMii. The image is unstable, flickers, and has lines through it.
It only seems to be an issue with the shop channel. I've seen similar things happen when loading some games in usbloader in the past but, it usually settles after 10 seconds or so.

Any idea? My googling has come up with nothing so far.

Has NOTHING to do with Modmii.
It's your Wii + TV setup.

@BaudhayanLahiri, I'm glad it all worked out for you! You are more than welcome to donate in whatever currency you want :D

@Pong20302000, I just double checked loading a syscheck log from the root of my C drive as well as on a network drive and confirm that drag and drop still works for me. Can you upload your syscheck.csv somewhere and I'll take a look at it. Which version of syscheck u using btw?

Ok, well It's been a minute since I posted my problem initially. I get the Windows cannot find wget when trying to install modmii. I've disabled my antivirus and spybot and ever turned off my firewall and still i get the cannot find wget messeage. Windows 7 X86 and modmii 4.7.5 any help would be worshipped. thanks in advance. Edit: it say windows can't find wget... could that mean that i don't have wget?

EDIT: Ok so I downloaded GNUWGET and installed it to my sys 32 folder. Now I don't get the WGET error instead the command line in the installer it says;

Cannot move multiple files to a single file
'sfk' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
'sfk' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
'list.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Could not find C:\Windows\System32\list.bat
ModMii Download has failed, check your internet connection and firewall settings

EDIT: Downloaded Swiss File Knife and put it in the Sys 32 folder Now the comman line in the installer reads;

Cannot move multiple files to a single file
Cannot read file status: list.bat
'list.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Could not find C:\Windows\System32\list.bat
ModMii Download has failed, check your internet connection and firewall settings

How do I get the list.bat file?

U using the english version of ModMii? There was a bug in either the italian or spanish version (I can't remember which), I fixed it and reuploaded it immediately but it's possible you might still be grabbing the old problematic update file. I just tried the english installer and it worked fine for me. If you continue to have problems just download the latest ModMii manually from here:
http://code.google.com/p/modmii/downloads/list

edit: just wanted to mention that if anyone has problems with the italian or spanish updater\installer, it will fix itself eventually when your internet history\cache\temp\whatever gets cleared. In the meantime you can grab the latest version of ModMii from the above link

edit2: are u trying to autoupdate ModMii or use the ModMii Installer? Also, please confirm u are using the english version of ModMii

Yea it's english, and it's the ModMii installer I downloaded from that link. The only error it has is the list.bat. Figured out the wget, and sfk but this one has me stumped lol. I downloaded the 4.8.0 version and whenever I run it it says ping is not a recognized etc. and after typing I agree it hits me with windows cannot find support/wget which is dumb because it's there and works when i run it from command prompt by itself.

If it helps:

    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
