I used ModMii to update my Wii from 4.0 to 4.3, but when I pop in New Super Mario Bros Wii (original disc), it still wants to update. How can I prevent that?
(apparently the Priiloader block doesn't work)

EDIT:
Ok, after fiddling with the Priiloader settings some more I got it to work! Need to test some more with the region free settings, I have the idea if one of them is enabled it gives an issue. "Remove Diagnostic Disc Check" shouldn't be enabled as somewhere suggested, then I get a disc read error.

Dear friends

I have news it seems moves a little
I reinstalled a new virtual nand with moddmii, UNEEK + DI ., I installe diosmioslite.bin, quadforce.bin and one files kenobigc.bin which was in archives in file sd:sneek and usb:sneek.

On real nand diosmioslite uninstalled.

The SD card format in Fat 32 64KB and the partition USB in fat 32 32 kb.
Quadforce and gamecube detected by usbloader gx and wiiflow (appears in the screen), but freeze black screen boot.
I need to to install or dios mios lite or quadforce on the nand reel to launch or the one or the other the virtual.
Any idea?

Thank you

Hi all,
first I would like to thank XFlak for developing and maintaining ModMii, a real holy grail for a 49er noob like me.
As nonosto and Sr Gman I banged against the autoit and f32 gui md5 problems and now I am blocked.

XFlak, when do you plan to post the minor update to fix these issues ?

Alternatively, has someone any suggestions to fix them manually (I would like to set up Abstinence Wizard with UNEEK+DI to simply launch backups from USB in emulated NAND).

Thanks a lot! :grog:

It says: " 1 through 58 valid." and I keep retrying and all that is invalid is the FAT GUI formatter! :P Should I cancel?
XFlak could probably explain why you have problems downloading fat32gui formatter, but anyway, check this thread:

http://gbatemp.net/threads/beginners-bad-luck-wii-usb-data.359301/page-2#post-4860154

Even if Modmii fails to recognize the file, it's not critical to the process of Wii hacking (it just allows you to easily format your HD to fat32 from your PC). So if I were you, I would just proceed with following the ModMii guide and hack the Wii.

The Disk Manager isn't obvious. BTW, if you have WiiBackupManager, you can format your drive as FAT 32 using that and change the default cluster size, too.

Ignore the md5 error, f32 gui formatter is safe to use. I posted the new md5 a few posts back if u r really paranoid.

Autoit changed their download from a sfx exe to a zip. If u extract contents of the zip to temp folder that should b a temp work around.

Update will b live in a cpl days, it's finished now but not near my pc

i ave tried to create emunand and uneek+d1 several times and it always fails in some way. once it went all the way through but it didn't create the armboot.bin or kernel.bin files. is it supposed to do that? can i get those files from somewhere else. guess i'll wait for the update mentioned in the post above.

Hello all, ****NOOB Alert!**** : )

I have been searching all over the internet for a step by step solution to change the default usb port from 0 to 1. I am using the CFG Loader. My Kids broke off the tab inside the usb port 0 and I need to use port 1 now. Can someone please provide me a step by step to accomplish this. Thank you very much ahead of time and thank you XFlak and team for such a great product.

ModMii v6.3.1 Update is live, changelog available at modmii.zzl.org.

MadDvlDg, check out this post HERE
I finally found the posts explaining How to get your usb-loader working using port1 instead of port0, but I don't think the port1 ehmodule will let you run games from FAT/NTFS, only WBFS... so u may have to beg oggzee to update it to support the other file systems too

instructions:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=196...t&p=2467184

more info:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=196...t&p=2464006


PS. apparently uloader and usbloader gx also have some support for port1, not exactly sure how to get that working, but its supported.

PPS. To all the ppl still talking about cIOSs in this thread... get a clue, the cIOS used isn't the issue here... so why are ppl still talking about it?

edit:


or just get Foez to fix your port0, he's already got a usb header ready for u

modmii worked flawlessly to create the emunand and sneek files after the update. still can't get it to work on the wii but that will come with a little trial and error.

Not anymore. If u want to donate consider sending something to the MS society or autistic society, those r my fav charities :-)

ok, I hope someone can help me out with this....
I've softmodded my Wii a long time ago, and recently updated the USB CFG Loader to the latest available version.
I now wanted to add/update some iOS wad's using ModWii.
Downloading goes ok, WADs are added in the WAD folder on my SD card.
But when opening USB CFG loader, and checking for installed iOS versions, they do not show.

Also changed the optio so the WADs are saved at root lever, but same result.

Am I missing something?
Or is my install of USB CFG loader wacky, and should the WAD's go somewhere else instead?

Thanks for your help!
