forwarders are available from the websites from the loaders themselfs, for wiiflow go to http://code.google.com/p/wiiflow/downloads/list.
I would also recommend to download wiiflow from there, because i am not sure if the one from modmii is the latest.

@[member='catweazle05'], you can build forwarder dols from ModMii's advanced downloads page, then inject the dols into WADs using customize mii (from DL page 2)

@[member='bromhexine'], you can set it up to run at launch, there are a couple ways to do it.
1) rename your bootneek folder to bootmii, then change your priiloader settings to autoboot into bootmii
2) after installing the neek2o channel, make a channel forwarder dol using ModMii to launch channel NK20, save the dol to your sd card, then set install the file and set priiloader to autoboot the installed file

#2 has the benefit of being able to launch uneek without an SD card. Also, you can still access the real bootmii without having to rename folders on your SD card.

thanks so much. for some reason i cant get anything but black screen when booting nands. i've tried euro and pal versions as wel as booting from priiloader auto boot and using the channel to load them up. what am i doing wrong? ive tried two different sd cards one specially formatted according to sneeks needs. thanks! tried changing ios 236, 249 and repatching 236 should i run modmii from the beginning will that help?(hmm it cant be because i dont have any games backed up can it?)

try just running plain ol' sneek, once u get that working, it confirms your emunand is working properly, then u can just use a copy of the same nand for other forms of neek (i.e. uneek+di). If a modmii freshly created nand doesn't work for u right off the bat, try extracting your own nand backup using showmiiwads\nand or nandextract. Be sure to wait extra long cuz the first boot of an emunand can take 5-20 mins

XFlak: I was pointing to the google page because Fix94 changed the Wiiflow forwarder to also work with neek2o correctly...
I was not sure if you already updated to 14b too.

Code:
http://gbatemp.net/topic/219243-neogamma-r9-beta/
i am not to sure what this is d2x with IOS56 as base IOS installed as IOS249 do you use this with darkcorp ? with modmii if i need to anything apart from downloading the basics and hacking the wii , where do you go from there to play games like metroid and smash bros , is there a guide on what step to take next from modmii and so on , beeing new at this is hard but hoping to catch on soon i suppose we all had to start some where thanks

No, ModMii's forwarder's aren't updated to 14b. Once FIX94 updates his "forwarder with meta.xml support" thread to v15 (I hate these v##abc rev's, lol) I'll update ModMii's forwarder builder. Eventually I'm going to replace joyflow with wiiflow and the joyflow forwarder with the latest wiiflow forwarder, and that'll eventually happen for sure cuz I can do without that thread being updated.

@[member='catweazle05'],
Use the ModMii Wizard to fully softmod you're Wii. After that, u have all the softmods you'll need to do everything with a few minor exceptions:
-backup disc loading from the main wii menu (neogamma backup disc loading will work fine)
-playing gamecube backups (requires Dios Mios or Dios Mios Lite or devolution)

After running the modmii wizard (including usb-loader setup), it will explain how to use a usb-loader to make and run backups of your games. If you insist on backup disc loading, you'll also need to save neogamma to your SD card (or FAT32 HDD) which can be found on ModMii Classic's download page 2. To make backup discs, rip your original discs using cleanrip or another loader, then plug your HDD or SD card into your PC and burn the image that you ripped to a disc (if the image isn't already iso, you can convert it to an ISO using wii backup manager so that you can burn it using normal burning software, like imgburn or nero)

Download the app to your SD card from download page 2. After that you can launch neogamma using the HBC. If you want a forwarder channel (i.e. a shortcut to neogamma on your wii menu), u can just download one from the link at the bottom of your ModMii guide (the XFlak's Top Channels thread).

Your PAL Wii will work in Canada as long as your TV supports the PAL video format. If it does not, you can change the video settings using an app called "BLIND" by JoostinOnline. He's also a member on this forum and many others so he'll be able to answer any of your questions related to his app(s). Re. your other questions, I work in downtown Toronto but live just a little further north; and welcome back to Canada!

thanks i'll look into blind. we'll see what i'll do. downtown toronto eh.. i used to live down there when i was 17 or so by yonge and gerrard id hang out with all the dope dealers.. hmm 15 or so years later im still doing that. travelling with electronics overseas into canada they tend to give problems asking for taxes and whatever. plus the space it'll take including the wiimotes and adapters and wires and stuff would be cool to meet the creator of this fine application and personally thank you for your years of help and service. want anything from bulgaria? maybe some chewy beef or unflourodated water?

FYI, lots of typo's in your post (i.e. when you say ISO\10s you mean "IOS"), an ISO and IOS are very different, just wanted to make sure you're aware of that.

Anyways, you didn't use ModMii to mod your Wii, that's for sure. Your cIOS249 is at rev21004 when it should be rev21008. Basically you're using v4 of the cIOS when v8 final is available. Support for IOS reloading games was introduced in v6, and MPT is an IOS reloading game so that explains why it's not working for you with your current cIOS.

You do not need any forwarder channels for any app. You can launch any app from the HBC, some people just prefer forwarder channels to avoid launching the HBC all the time. If you mod your wii using ModMii, it will get you to install a nice usb-loader forwarder channel that will launch the first detected usb-loader app from a list (list provided in your custom modmii guide or in the txt file distributed along with the channel itself).

If you used ModMii, u must be using a version of ModMii that is over a year old. Make sure you update ModMii or reinstall the latest version. Then drag and drop your syscheck log csv file onto ModMii.exe (i.e. open your syscheck csv log with ModMii). It will analyze your setup and help you update only what's outdated.
