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

[XFlak]

doesn't require v4.0

 

[leuk_he]

Try reinstalling .net framework 3.5 and\or installing windows updates cuz it's working for me and many others. If that doesn't fix it, just try a dif computer

3.5 and 4.0 is already installed on that PC.It seems to work now on a different PC. Too bad there is no cause.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

There is a cause, we just don't know what it is besides something to do with that specific computer. It's certainly not ModMii's fault.

First of all thanks for the great work in putting this tool together.
I have a slight problem.
I had used an old softmod (forgot which one) on 4.2 system menu,
My GF updated to 4.3e! This broke the homebrew channel.

The letterbomb method just crashed the wii.
So i found your tool.
The wiibrand when clicking the bomb just brought up gibberish.


So I used your solutions guide, it said to install 5 wads.
Only one of the wads installed. However it let me reinstall my HBC hackmii.
It seemed to work fine?

I completed the rest of the guide. Everything went through fine.
I then got to the step to install my theme for the system menu.

I got an error though saying that it was the wrong system menu for the theme.
I deffo chose the 4.3e system menu in the modmii setup options,
i also chose to keep it at 4.3e as it said that was recommended.

Then i looked at my wii system menu version and it said 3.4e!!!!!!
Does anyone have any idea what has happend here?

If i chose 4.3e 100% in the modmii build settings how do i now have a 3.4e system?
Im really confused now

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I take it that i wont be able to play the latest games unless im on system menu 4.3e right?

Many Thanks
Luke

you may have installed additional WADs that were saved to SD:\WAD from previous softmods. The 3.4 system menu can't be downloaded via modmii (unless u're using the advanced downloads feature)

i started with a complete freshly formatted sd card so that rules out the old wads. i did try to format the wii system before i did modmii hoping it would wipe the old mod off and virginise my wii. however after 4 hours it still said formatting. so i just powered the wii off.
it still worked when switched back on and im sure it still said 4.3e. unless thats what made it go back to 3.4e? and i just thought it was 4.3e?
would formatting the wii take it back to 3.4e?

if i use modmii to upgrade system menus, should i go to 4.3e or 4.1 as a lot of people say 4.1 is the best?
i also have an old neogamma r7 channel from the last softmod. can i just uninstall that from the channels menu?

many thanks

 

[XFlak]

Perhaps you're a little dyslexic, lol, 3.4 and 4.3 do after all look a lot like each other

Do whatever ModMii recommends, if your on 4.1 or less, ModMii will recommend 4.1, if you're on 4.2 it will recommend 4.2, if you're on 4.3 it will recommend 4.3

And yes, u can remove that channel from the wii channels menu

 

[JoostinOnline]

And yes, u can remove that channel from the wii channels menu

Custom channels should never be removed through the System Menu, since they can cause issues when browsing through banners quickly. You will get the same message as a banner brick.

Always uninstall the wad for custom channels.

 

[XFlak]

I thought it just left the tik behind, which is pretty much harmless, no?

 

[lukepev]

Turns out it was 3.4e. When modmii gave me my guide it told me what wads to install. However there were about 6 more wads in the folder but no mention to install them so I left them. They had long file names. With [ es etc etc ] at the end
I went back thru modmii choosing just to upgrade to 4.1 and it gave me one of those wads to install. Think it was ios60. So because I didn't install the others it left me on 3.4 when I was originally 4.3e! I also had to reinstall priilloader after system menu update as it wiped it. Although the guide did not mention the fact that priiloader would disappear.Cheers

 

[XFlak]

I'm sure the guides mention that and are fine. I can quote them if I have to. I think it must've been user error.

 

[BNada]

I downloaded the ModMii V 6.1.5 and executed.

Got the following error: BootMii SD Files: Missing

   • If you get errors during any of the steps reformat your SD card as FAT or FAT32
   • Turn off WiiConnect24 and take out all gamecube memory cards/controllers when modding the Wii (unless instructed otherwise).
   • If your Wii ever freezes, hold the power button on the Wii for 5 seconds to power it off then try again.
   • Don’t ever accept a new Nintendo update without first googling to see if it’s safe. The last update (to 4.3) was released in late June 2010. If you accept an official Nintendo update after modding the Wii, you may lose some or all of your modifications.
   • Never uninstall a system menu or IOS.
   • Do not install untested WADs/themes without Bootmii or Priiloader installed.
   • This custom guide is great start, but Wii modding is always evolving. Check for updates online, and remember, google is your friend.
   • Not all external hard drive's are compatible with the Wii, for a list of which USB hard drive's are compatible, see this webpage: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/USB_Devices_Compatibility_List
   • If you have questions, a more detailed guide can be found at www.sites.google.com/site/completesg/
5. Hacking your Wii
6. 1. Installing The Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii
   2. Note: if this Wii was previously modified, and it has either the HBC, BootMii as Boot2, or a Forwarder Channel installed, you can use that instead of an exploit.If using BootMii as Boot2 to install the HBC, turn on your Wii with the SD Card inserted and BootMii will load. Go To the SD menu and load bootmini.elf. This will load the Hackmii Installer allowing you to reinstall the HBC.If using a Forwarder Channel, just save the boot.elf/dol from the app you want to load (ie. SD:\apps\hackmii_installer\boot.elf or SD:\apps\MMM\boot.dol) to the location used by your specific Forwarder Channel (ie. SD:\apps\usbloader\boot.dol). Then start the channel and the Hackmii Installer will load allowing you to reinstall the HBC. Note, if your forwarder channel only loads dol's and not elf's, launch MMM's boot.dol, then use its "App Manager" to load the Hackmii Installer.Bannerbomb v2Requirements: an SD or SDHC cardRun BannerBomb v2 by selecting the SD Card Button on the main system menu screen and choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf.Note: If it doesn't work for you, visit http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/ for more variations of either version of bannerbomb.This runs the Hackmii Installer (and silently/automatically installs BootMii as IOS). Use the installer to install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii as Boot2 if possible.Note: If you get a "no vulnerable IOS" error message, run ModMii again and this time select the "Hackmii Solutions" option and follow the new instructions before continuing this guide.
   3. Making a NAND backup
   4. While inside the Homebrew Channel, load BootMii by pressing home and clicking Launch Bootmii.Press the power button on the Wii 3 times to get to the last option, then press the reset button (you can also navigate with a Gamecube controller).Press reset to choose the first option, then follow the directions on the screen to make your NAND backup (bad blocks are no problem).Backup the Bootmii folder, nand.bin, and keys.bin elsewhere and erase from the SD card (or rename it). You'll need these in case of emergencies, so don't lose them.Go back to The Homebrew Channel.Note: if Bootmii was installed as boot2, then it will show up as soon as the Wii is turned on AS LONG AS it finds the bootmii folder (mentioned above) on the root of the SD card.
   5. Install a patched IOS236
   6. Start the Homebrew Channel.VERY IMPORTANT!In the Homebrew channel, if you do not have a working internet connection already set up, you will see an icon flashing in the bottom right corner of the screen indicating its inability to initialize the network. You should wait for the icon to stop flashing OR let it flash for 30-60 seconds before proceeding otherwise these apps may error shortly after being launched. If you encounter this harmless error, power off the Wii and repeat this step from the beginning. To increase your chances of success, add a working internet connection to your Wii via the official Wii Settings Menu, but be sure to say "No" when asked to perform an update.You only need to perform ONE of the below methods.Once either method successfully installs IOS236, you can move onto the next step.
      • Method A: Using IOS236 InstallerAfter waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, launch "IOS236 Installer v5 MOD".Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly.It should say "IOS236 installation is complete!" and return to The Homebrew Channel.If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work.If you continue to experience errors you can try using Simple IOS Patcher instead.
      • Method B: Using Simple IOS PatcherAfter waiting 30-60 seconds for the HBC to attempt to initialize the network, launch "Simple IOS Patcher".Note: This app must be launched using HBC v1.0.7 or higher in order to work properly.Choose "IOS36" (already selected by default) and push A, then select "Install IOS to slot" and choose 236. Select "Install patched IOS36" leaving the 4 patches set to "yes" and press A, then choose "Load IOS from SD card". Confirm your choice with the A button and, when prompted, push A to continue the installation. When the installation is finished press the B button to exit the Main Menu.If you experience errors, keep trying and it should eventually work.If you continue to experience errors you can try using IOS236 Installer instead.
   7. Install Priiloader
   8. Launch "Priiloader 236 Mod" via the Homebrew ChannelAfter the Priiloader Installer loads, press + to install it.After successfully installing Priiloader, access it by powering off the Wii, then powering it back on while holding reset until you see the Priiloader menu.You should install some system menu hacks now (by going to System Menu hacks option).RECOMMENDED HACKS
      • Block Disc Updates
      • Block Online Updates
      • Replace Health Screen
      • Move Disc Channel
      The priiloader menu is white by default, you can change it to black in the Priiloader settings if you prefer.One of the special functions of Priiloader is that it can autoboot any app/file instead of the system menu. Some apps (like crazyIntro) can't be used without it.For details on how to do so, visit www.sites.google.com/site/completesg/system-hacks/priiloader
   9. Install WADs
   10. Load Multi-Mod Manager (MMM) via the HomeBrew Channel.If IOS236 is not already loaded, select "Load another IOS", then select IOS236Note: If this step fails with error -ret 2011 or other, you may need to retry patching IOS236. If the Wii was previously softmodded, you can try loading cIOS250 (or others like 202,222,223,224,236,249)In Multi-Mod Manager's main menu, go down to select "WAD Manager".Install the following WADs from the WAD folder (this list of WADs is unique to the information you provided ModMii).Be careful not to install any additional WADs that may have been previously saved in this folder (they may be safe, but I cannot say for sure).Mark each of the following WADs for installation by navigating to each WAD and hitting "+"Alternatively, you can hold "+" for 2 seconds to select all the WADs in the folder.After you've marked all the WADs listed below, press 'A' twice to install them.If any files fail to install properly, they will remain marked for installation, so just retry installing those files.Your unique list of WADs to install are as follows:
       • IOS11v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
       • IOS20v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])

       Note: IOS58 is required for the forwarder to launch apps from an SD Card and hard drives formatted as FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 and ext4. It also supports meta.xml arguments and is able to launch apps with direct hardware access.[*]Reinstall the Homebrew Channel (if applicable)
       [*]In the HomeBrew Channel, hit the "home" button. In the top right corner you will see the IOS used by the HBC.If the HBC is using IOS58 and your HBC is not upside-down, you can skip this step.If the HBC is not using IOS58 or it is upside-down, you should continue with this step to reinstall it.Launch the HackMii_Installer via the HBC.Use the Hackmii Installer to fix/re-install the HBC (using IOS58). Once you've successfully reinstalled the HBC, you can move onto the next step of the guide.If the HBC is failing to load the HackMii_Installer (just blackscreens), instead launch the Hackmii Installer using the method described in the first Step.
       [*]Install Custom Wii Menu Theme using MyMenuifyMod (optional)
       [*]WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THEMES WITHOUT PROTECTION (BOOTMII, PRIILOADER AND NAND BACKUP) AND ONLY INSTALL THEMES FOR YOUR SPECIFIC SYSTEM MENU VERSION AND REGION!Launch MyMenuifyMod from the HBC.Navigate to the theme you would like to install that corresponds to your specific System Menu Version (4.2U) then press A to install it.If you ever decide to restore the original Menu Wii theme, simply launch MyMenuifyMod again, navigate to 000000XX_4.2U.app and press "A" to install it.
       
   [*]USB Loader and Hard Drive setup
   [*]The rest of the guide is performed on your computer in order to set up your USB-Loader
   
   1. Manage Wii backups using Wii Backup Manager (optional)
   2. Launch WiiBackupManager from shortcuts on your Start Menu or DesktopYou can use this program to manage/transfer your electronic backups of Wii Games.It is very simple to use, but a detailed tutorial on using Wii Backup Manager can be found here: www.sites.google.com/site/completesg/backup-launchers/iso/wbfs-managers/wii-backup-managerNote: Original Wii Discs cannot be read/copied using a computer (unless you have one of the rare LG Drives that is capable of doing so).To copy original Wii Disc's, insert the disc into your Wii and Launch Configurable USB-Loader, and hit the plus sign "+".
   3. Configure/Customize Configurable USB-Loader (optional)
   4. To Configure/Customize your USB-Loader, use the Configurator for Configurable USB-Loader found here: COPY_TO_SD\usb-loader\CfgLoaderConfigurator.exeOptional: additional themes can be found here: http://wii.spiffy360.com/themes.phpImportant notes on default settings:Two potentially dangerous features have been locked:
      • The ability to remove/delete games
      • The ability to format a hard drive
      To unlock these features, while in the configurable USB-Loader menu, hold "1" for 5 seconds, then enter the password to unlock these features. The password is "AAAA", you can change the password/settings by using the Configurator for Configurable USB-Loader. Hold "1" again for 5 seconds to lock the USB-Loader again (or it will lock automatically again once you exit the USB-Loader).
   [*]After modding your Wii
   [*]After you are done modding your Wii, you can optionally delete any unnecesarry files by using ModMii's "File Cleanup" Feature.If you used Bannerbomb and choose not to use the File Cleanup feature, in order to avoid having your Wii freeze when accessing the SD Card Menu, you should delete the "aktn" folder where bannerbomb is saved (SD:\private\wii\title\aktn), or rename the entire "private" folder.At this point you're practically done.Now you should be downloading the latest homebrew applications and setting them up on your SD Card (or FAT32 USB Hard Drive) so they can be launched via the HBC.For playing your backups off a USB hard drive, run the USB-Loader Setup feature from ModMii's Main Menu.For downloading applications, you should:
   
   • Check out ModMii's batch download pages as it has many popular apps available for download.
   • Download Homebrew Browser via ModMii to get many popular apps, but this is an online only Wii application.
   • For those without internet on their Wii, check out this list of Homebrew applications.
   Another great resource is webrewwii.blogspot.comAfter getting whatever apps you want, you should get a boot.dol file and possibly a icon.png and meta.xml.For HBC to read your SD/USB correctly, your card must be structured SD:/apps/application name/boot.dolIf you have a *.dol not named boot.dol, rename it boot.dol, otherwise it will not be recognized by the HBC.(optional: the icon.png and meta.xml should be saved in the same place as the boot.dol)[*]Credits, Supporting Apps, and Sources
   [*]ModMii was written entirely by me, XFlak; however, without the help of many other very talented people ModMii would not exist.Some people have contributed supporting files or programs, others have shared their knowledge, some have provided ideas and others have given their time.I have tried my best to recognize everyone's contribution to ModMii regardless of how big or small it is. If I've forgotten someone, please notify me and I'll add them to the credits as quickly as possible. <p style="margin: 5px 20px 20px;">
   
   • Team TwiizersThanks to Team Twiizers for creating the revolutionary HackMii Installer. Without their hard work, the Wii might never have been unlocked. Many Team Twiizer Members went on to join Team Fail Overflow; a team that played a vital role in unlocking the PS3.I especially want to thank Bushing, who gave ModMii his blessing to download and use the HackMii Installer.
   • GiantpuneGiantpune is a legend in the Wii Scene and I consider him to be a good friend of mine. He created many exploits, including the Smash Stack exploit for PAL and KOR Wii's (which is still the only method to fix 003 bricked Wii's), the Channel Forwarder dol, USB Loader GX, and many other computer programs to repair or virginize Wii's.He's contributed code to more projects than I even know about, so its impossible for me to truly convey his impact on the scene. He even took the time to explain a few things to me about cIOSs when ModMii was in its early stages and still known as NUS Auto Downloader.
   • Crediar, Daco Taco and PhpgeekThe above people all had a hand in creating Priiloader. This was another revolutionary tool mainly because it was the first to offer some level of protection to newer Wii's that were unable to install BootMii at boot2. Crediar developed the original preloader as well as s/uneek, NMM, DML, etc.
   • ComexIn addition to being a member of Team Twiizers and contributing to the HackMii Installer, Comex created the heavily utilized bannerbomb exploit. This exploit is what allows Wii's on firmwares 3.0-4.2 to be softmodded with only an SD Card instead of needing one of a few specific Wii Games.
   • WaninkokoWaninkoko was the first to publicly release a cIOS and other excellent apps like WAD manager, Save Game Manager, USB loader, etc. I also want to thank him for giving ModMii permission to recreate his cIOSs in WAD form.
   • HermesHermes is well known for his cIOS 222/223/224 and for his usbloader "uloader". For a time his cIOSs were the only ones to work with RockBand type games and they are still highly utilized today.
   • davebaol and XFlakThese developers worked together to modify Waninkoko's rev21 cIOS and created a new "d2x" cIOS. This cIOS is currently considered the ultimate cIOS because it corrected many bugs and added features that were previously thought to be impossible (ie. Support for IOS Reloading Games). WiiPower was also heavily influential in achieving IOS Reload Support.
   • RodriesThanks to Rodries for improving upon Hermes v5.1 cIOSs.
   • WiiGatorWiiGator created a cMIOS and Gamecube Backup Launcher. Any GameCube fans owe a big thank you to WiiGator for his work.
   • cwstjdenobscwstjdenobs is one of the few people I've encountered in the Wii scene that I would love to treat to a beer. He was always very supportive of me and encouraged me to ask him as many questions as I'd like. He is probably most well known for YAWMM (Yet Another Wad Manager Mod) which was the first Wad Manager to add brick protection by restricting users from making silly mistakes like uninstalling or stubbing a crucial file. He's also made and modified apps specifically for ModMii. For example, he modified WadMii so it doesn't timestamp WADs and he also made a setting.txt builder for ModMii's NAND builder.
   • LeathlLeathl is another awesome developer who supported me before I became well known by expanding upon his apps to further support ModMii. Leathl has created many Wii apps including ShowMiiWads, CustomizeMii, libwiisharp, patchios, nusfilegrabber, etc. Despite his recent inactivity, his apps are still highly used today... just goes to show you that quality work never gets old. I also want to thank RetroHead for him Mod of ShowMiiWads which ModMii uses to build emulated nands without requiring any input from the user. libwiisharp.dll is based on wii.py, the wii.py devs are Megazig, Omega, Xuzz, SquidMan, Matt_P and The Lemon Man. Also thanks to Daeken for writing Struct.py and marcan for his LZ77 code.
   • scooby74029scooby74029's most well known for sneeky compiler, which is able to build multiple different versions of s\uneek. ModMii will always construct the latest version of s\uneek available on his sneeky compiler google code webpage. This means he has total control over what version of s\uneek ModMii will construct. He also created modifications of Leathl's libwiisharp.dll and patchios.exe to further support ModMii. Additionally, he's modified other apps like JoyFlow, JoyLoader GX, JoyLoader CFG, etc. On top of all that, he's an all around awesome person and I'm proud to be on his friends list.
   • WiiPowerWiiPower created Neogamma, hands down the best backup disc loader for the Wii. He also modified WiiGators cMIOS and created what is today considered the ultimate cMIOS. Furthermore he's contributed code to many other popular usb-loaders and had a hand in adding IOS Reloading support to the d2x cIOSs.
   • OverjoY and obcdOverjoY created JoyFlow, a modification of WiiFlow that runs on s\uneek. He then teamed up with obcd to accomplish some seriously amazing things, like building their mod of s\uneek, NEEK2O, that allows it to load games in wbfs format and select from multiple emulated NANDs.
   • Arikado and the Dop-Mii TeamThey created Dop-Mii; a lot of apps borrow code from Dop-Mii, so even if you have never used Dop-Mii but used MMM or WiiMod then you owe a thank you to these people.
   • WiiWuHe made Multi-Mod Manager (MMM) which has the functions of many different Wii modding tools all in one user friendly app.
   • WB3000 and WiiNinjaThanks to WB3000 for creating NUS Downloader and to WiiNinja for making a cmd line version of NUS Downloader. NUS Downloader is one of ModMii's vital supporting apps.
   • WiiCrazyWiiCrazy is most famous for "Wii Game Shortcut Creator" (formerly known as "Crap"), Crazy Intro and Crazy Intro Video. He also contributed to usb-loaders by bypassing some game specific security. WiiCrazy is another person who's always been willing to do everything in his power to help me, or anyone else for that matter.
   • oggzee, usptactical, gannon and Dr.ClipperTogether the above people compose the Configurable USB Loader Team. This usb-loader has always been the first to add new features and in my opinion it's the best usb-loader out there.
   • WiimmThanks to Wiimm for creating Wiimms ISO Tools, including wit.exe which ModMii uses to convert Wii Games to s/uneek format as well as build forwarder ISOs.
   • diddy81 and symular syn of the Wii Theme TeamThe Wii Theme Team has created some of the best Wii Themes ever made! All of the alternative themes available in ModMii were created by them. I want to thank diddy81 in particular for working with me to ensure that all his themes worked perfectly for all regions.
   • FIX94, Narolez and the WiiXplorer TeamThanks to all these people for their contributions in making the best SD/USB forwarder. I want to thank FIX94 in particular who spent a lot of time testing ModMii's Forwarder Builder... he might be young, but he is wise beyond his years; just imagine what he'll be capable of when he's old enought to vote!
   • jskybooThanks to jskyboo for creating WiiMod. His app can do a lot of different things, and it was the first ahbprot enabled WAD Manager to incorporate davebaol's ahbprot bugfix.
   • ModMii's TranslatorsTranlating ModMii is an enormous amount of work. It's very challenging to get special characters to display correctly in a cmd window, not to mention keeping everything formatted properly. But probably the most difficult part of translating ModMii is keeping up with the updates. If you use a translated version of ModMii, I encourage you to thank your translator because it truly is a LOT of work to do.French Translators: mamule, xav91 and ketufeDutch Translator: HielkenatorItalian Translators: Wasabi, Step and RobilynSpanish Translators: ledebene and Burton
   • Fig2k4Thanks Fig2k4 for WiiBackupManager. It was a pleasure beta testing it for you and sharing my ideas with you. I hope to see you around the forums again and that you continue working on your amazing program.
   • WiiShizzza, pepxl, RobGee789 and M3RKThanks to WiiShizzza for creating ModMii's new icon and to pepxl for creating ModMii's original icon. I want to thank everyone who created a ModMii icon and submitted it into ModMii's new icon competition. http://gbatemp.net/topic/296772-new-modmii-iconlogo-candidates/RobGee789 and M3RK did all the graphics used by ModMii Skin. It was a pleasure working with them, they were both very open to feedback and willing to "go back to the drawing board", so to speak, as many times as it took to get it perfect. Thanks guys!
   • My Fellow Guide WritersThanks to tj_cool, xzxero, burritoboy9984, ChokeD and mauifrog for their awesome guides. I especially want to thank tj_cool and xzxero for inviting me to join "The Crew" at the Complete Softmod Guide. I'll never forget how great it felt to be relatively new to the scene and to be invited to join you all as equals.
   • JoostinOnlineThanks for determining the best cIOS configuration and for all his jokes; I'll never get tired of our endless patriotic "debates".
   • DaMysteryManThanks for helping me understand the structure of a cIOS so I could better recreate it in WAD form. For those of you who don't know him, DaMysteryMan is most well known for his ever controversial app - DarkCorp (formerly known as cIOSCorp).
   • person66person66 has had a hand in many projects, but most noteworthy are his sharpii cmd line tool and his Universal Forwarder Creator. He also wrote an autoit script that is used to launch ModMii with an icon, arguments and other useful functions.Thanks for trading little bits of batch coding knowledge with me. It's great having a fellow batch coder for a friend; we are a dying breed, so keep up the great work with Universal Forwarder Creator and all your other projects.
   • GannonThanks to Gannon for bootopera, which I was able to mod to create the URL loader base dol.
   • ViolatorHe's my bro, my cuz, my best man and the reason I ever bought or modded a Wii. "XFlak" would have died many years ago if not for him. Thanks Violator, for getting me interested in this stuff, and for all the awesome music you recorded for ModMii and my Crazy Intro Videos
   • DeadlyFoezDeadlyFoez is legendary for his Wii Repairs and infectus tutorial. Anyone who's broken their Wii can email [email protected] to have it fixed.DeadlyFoez played a key role in the ModMii v5.0.0 update not only by helping come up with the idea for using html guides but also creating the template for ModMii's custom guides and recording almost all of the videos and images they use. Within 1.5 weeks since our initial conversation we were able to collaborate and bring the idea to life in time to release it for Christmas. Working with him on this was a truly rewarding and fun experience. DeadlyFoez also single-handedly built ModMii.zzl.org which has become the official ModMii website.What can I say about THE "DeadlyFoez" on a personal level. He's always getting me into trouble but his friendship is worth every fiasco! It's unreal how he became one of my best friends. Just goes to show you not everyone you meet online is totally crazy; in his case... just a little crazy. But seriously, thanks to DeadlyFoez for always being there for me to bounce ModMii ideas off of, for hosting the first two Team Your Mom meetings and for introducing me to his awesome family and friends. There's no one else I'd rather geek out with and I'll always have your back.
   • All My Beta Testers!It's because of you guys that ModMii is as stable as it is. Considering that ModMii is developed entirely in notepad without any kind of debugger or developer tools; it's pretty remarkable that ModMii has always been bug-free (albeit with a couple minor exceptions). Thanks for your never-ending devotion to quality control!Here's a list of ModMii's current beta testing group (in no particular order): scooby74029, DeadlyFoez, redia, Etheboss, JoostinOnline, person66, brausm08, geovalley, undeadsquirrel, mauifrog, FIX94 and wolf.
   • You!Without you, there would be no reason for ModMii to exist. Thanks for using ModMii for all your Wii softmodding needs!

Have you tried a second time? I just confirmed the link is working fine. Even if you can't download it, when running the hackmii installer, just tell it prepare your sd card (which is done automatically if you choose to install bootmii, i.e. SD card is not prepared when bootmii is automatically installed as IOS)

 

[BNada]

Thanks XFlak

I clicked on the link, and found out that my "virus program" was blocking that site.

When I opened it, all the downloads were fine.

 

[Alexminator]

Hi, i love this app thanks XFlak. The best issue u put in there its letterbomb offline. U r the best. XFLAK i need ur help im cuban so i can't download nothing from googlecode. This's my email [email protected] if u can send me WIImod 6.1.5 to my email
Thanks
alex out

 

[XFlak]

if you can't download it... why are you talking as if you use it all the time?

Anyways, even if I were to email it to you, you'd have lots of problems because ModMii itself downloads things from other googlecode pages.

You could consider using something like tor or a proxy temporarily while modmii is running to gain access to google code. You would just have to set it up system wide so ModMii uses it instead of your direct internet connection.

 

[kylster]

Just used your app to soft-mod another Wii yet again yet this one was post 2008 so a definite plus to the individual I did it for.

This is probably not the best time to make a request but is there any way to allow modmii to change the IOS a DL system menu can run off of? Another thing I'm curious about is a hacks_hash.ini file custom for such a system menu being possible to make through modmii? I understand an average user wouldn't even need this but I still mod Wii's in such a way they run off a custom system menu some from IOS3 other from their proper IOS. Yes/No it doesn't really matter thanks again for this app.

 

[samsingla]

I found your guide on the web and just created an account on this site to say Thank you!!! You couldn't have made it any more easy and it just took me 30 minutes to complete the whole process. You're awesome and thanks again!!

I had everything working before but after an update of HBC I couldn't run my backups through CFG (v70) anymore (freezes at "booting from disc please wait"). I have started updating everything and installing IOS249 (used to have 222) from GAF's tutorial but nothing seems to get my backups back to life. Everything else still works fine though and i can still play from my discs.

Will modmii fix my problems? I am afraid to mess things up even more (should have left it alone while it was working).
