No, not at all. The vulnerability that allowed DVD mode for the old drives to read burned discs has been removed from newer drives. The only way that you can make it happen is by purchasing a different logic board (the circuit board) that is compatible with your current drive, or just purchasing a different drive.

oh I found it. SO, I tried to do the sneek2o on modmii, i installed sneek channel, when i load it it says loading for about 1/16th of a second, then screen goes green with red lines, then blue *blue is what my tv does when there is no signal...* so I am assuming I did something wrong. I did the update my wii option from modmii first so I have the newest whatevers and what nots.... *sigh* big tintin fan for the last 30 years, really want to get this game working... Putting the disk in is too much work so dont ask.... hehehehe ;-P

it's normal for the first boot of an fresh emulated nand for it to take 5-10 minutes (starting it subsequently won't take nearly as long), during that time you may get no signal to your tv. I'm assuming you did more than just install the sneek channel right? You also have a "sneek" folder on your fat device and a "nands\pl_xx\" folder right?

As I mentioned to you in a PM, you can use a usb-loader without having s\uneek set up. All you need is to run ModMii's usb-loader set up guide.

edit: any neek related questions\problems that are not about running ModMii on your PC should be asked in the neek2o thread: www.tinyurl.com\neeek2o

I have used ModMii to mod quite a few wiis, for free of course (why would I charge for something I get for free? I am no Pirate... I'm a Corsair!!!), and have found great success each and every time. There's just one small thing I noticed.

Maybe it's just me doing something wrong, but after remodding my wii, doing every step except using the exploit, I tried returning to the homebrew channel directly from priiloader, (I had no sensor bar at the moment, and I wanted to access CFG Loader and choose a game somehow... figured out how to do it though), and it said I didnt have a compatible HBC or something like that. This was on October though, it's just that now I decided to come in to gbaTemp. But just thought I'd let you know, in case you or someone else can do something about it. That option can help us in case of bricking!

no worries, the older guide u were using was still using priiloader v0.4, which is unable to natively launch HBC v1.07+. Since then ModMii has been updated to install priiloader v0.7 which is able to launch older and newer versions of the HBC. But in terms of brick recoverability, priiloader v0.4 is still able to launch the latest HBC, u just need to install an updated HBC forwarder dol as a file in priiloader then boot the installed file.

Cheers

Ah, that must be it, I have not been installing priiloader seeing as how I already had it. So I didn't update it. Will do so once I have the wii at this house (which is the one with internet) Thanks!

Hi,
I was able to update my Wii to 4.3.U successfully but I have a question. I have some games that want me to perform a system update and I want to make sure it's ok to do so. I am trying play NSMB and Galaxy 2.

EDIT: Nevermind. I went into Priiloader and changed the settings. Thanks to everyone that contributed to Modmii!

First of all, thanks to all the people envolved with Modmii

I just wondered if someone could give me a little advice. I have just updated 3 wii's (already soft modded) using modmii, all were 4.1E and I chose to stay on this menu. All three wii's started off using IOS61 for the homebrew channel but after reinstalling at the end, only 2 changed to IOS58. The other one stays as IOS61 how ever many times i reinstall! (all had ios58 wad installed) Is this going to cause a problem playing games? what should I do?

It won't affect any game but some homebrews & emulators will give you troubles . If you are sure you got ios 58 installed then try going to the hackmii installer & uninstalling then reinstalling hbc . If that doesn't work then check if ios 58 is really installed as you might have skipped it .

Are you using hackmii installer v0.8? If not, you need to do so. If you are, then post a SysCheck with the guide in my signature.

Thanks everyone for your help, I will try to remove HBC and then reinstall it and I will check again to make sure IOS58 was in the list of Wads. Not sure which hackmii installer it was, but it was only downloaded today from first page of this topic (can only presume it is correct one). Would it harm the wii if I downloaded everything again and repeated the install of wads etc?
I will let you know in a few days if I am still having problems, as this wii is at my brothers.

Thanks again for your quick respose

ModMii for Windows
Italian and Spanish Translations Updated from v4.8.0 to v4.8.2



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.
4.8.2 Changelog
  • Synced ModMii's internal version of d2x v7-final with the revised v7-final
    on the google code page. No major changes, just "Tagged as d2x-v7".
  • I think he is a she, and she is changelog.

4.8.1 Changelog
  • Added a lot more info to NAND\nandinfo.txt when building\modifying emulated
    NANDs. Also, now after building\modifying emulated NANDs ModMii will open
    nandinfo.txt using notepad.
  • Updated nswitch channel to v1.0 - old versions will be detected and updated
    by ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier. With this version of the channel installed
    it is possible to launch UNEEK and UNEEK+DI without an SD Card.
  • Updated Priiloader v0.4 to v0.7 neek2o mod in ModMii's emulated NAND
    builder\Modifier. This version of Priiloader will not freeze when installed
    to emulated NANDs.
  • Updated Priiloader Hacks (Download Page 2) to include both hacks.ini and
    hacks_hash.ini. Both files are copied to emulated NANDs when installing
    Priiloader.
  • Enhanced ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier region\firmware detection by having
    it read from NAND\content\title.tmd. As a result the Emulated NAND modifier
    is now able to install\remove Priiloader to\from all firmwares (instead of
    just 4.1-4.3). However, system menu theme installations are still limited
    to 4.1-4.3.
  • Replaced the Homebrew Filter Channel with Postloader when building emulated
    NANDs. There are now two Postloader downloads on ModMii's Download Page 2,
    a forwarder channel and an autoupdating download for the app itself.
  • Changed default NAND folder naming when building new emulated NANDs so that
    they are also compatible with Postloader. Instead of /nands/nand# now they
    will be named /nands/pl_eu for euro/pal NANDs, /nands/pl_us for USA NANDs,
    /nands/pl_jp for JAP NANDs and /nands/pl_kr for Korean NANDS.
  • Users are once again asked to provide a serial number when building emulated
    NANDs instead of always using the default serial number. This change was
    reversed after discovering that if on the first boot of an emulated NAND the
    serial number is not the same as the real NAND it MAY prevent establishing
    an internet connection.
  • d2x cIOSs updated from v6 to v7. The d2x v7 final changelog can be found here:
    http://code.google.com/p/d2x-cios/source/browse/tags/d2x-v7/data/Changelog.txt
    Thanks davebaol for all your hard work on this!
  • Enhanced d2x beta support. Now when accessing the d2x beta menu it will list
    all the d2x versions hosted on the d2x-google code page as well as identify
    which are featured at that point in time. These are listed in addition to any
    'offline' beta d2x cIOSs you may have manually saved to ModMii's
    Support\More-cIOSs\ folder.
  • Added d2x-beta-md5-updater.bat to ModMii's Support folder. This will mainly
    be used by davebaol to facilitate his construction of d2x beta zip archives
    that are compatible with both ModMii and the d2x cIOS Installer. With this
    change all future d2x beta cIOSs will be released simultaneously for both
    installation methods. On a personal note, it was a pleasure collaborating
    with davebaol on this.
  • Reverted back to using MMM, IOS236 Installer and Priiloader v0.7 (236 Mod)
    instead of WiiMod (with ahbprot) and Priiloader v0.7 (with davebaol's
    ahbprot bug-fix). This was due to WiiMod harmlessly failing to load in
    certain uncommon situations. I have prepared an alternate version of
    ModMii v4.8.1 that still uses WiiMod so anyone interested in helping jskyboo
    beta test WiiMod please get in touch with jskyboo or myself. WiiMod is still
    available for download on ModMii's Download Page 2.
  • Updated Wii Backup Manager to Wii Backup Manager 0.4.5 build 78.
  • Fixed bug where an older version of SaveGame Manager GX was being downloaded
    instead of the latest version (this was due to a change in how the files were
    being hosted on its google code page).
  • Adjustments made to Syscheck Updater to support additional acceptable SysCheck
    logs (i.e. MIOS v10, cIOS222 and cIOS223). It will now also check if d2x-beta
    cIOSs are installed when a d2x beta cIOS is activated (instead of always
    checking for the d2x version included with ModMii).
  • Some optimizations when running ModMii in command line mode. Added a command
    to install an extra folder of WADs to an emulated nand. I don't think anyone
    is using this feature anyways so this isn't big news.
  • Celebrities may walk on the red carpet, but ModMii walks on toilet paper
    because it's the SH*T!
  • Other minor changes



@SallyC,
modmii definitely downloaded the hackmii installer v0.8, it's the only version hosted by TT and therefore the only version ModMii will attempt to download

there is no harm in repeating the softmod, and there is no point to uninstalling the HBC. Just install IOS58, then launch the hackmii installer and re-install the HBC
