It's now easier than ever to donate to ModMii using Ko-fi, Patreon or GitHub Sponsors!



Check out modmii.github.io for more information, or download ModMii's Windows Installer directly from HERE. The installer is self-explanatory, but if for some reason you run into issues you can download the latest portable zip from HERE and unzip it anywhere on your PC. Then just double-click ModMii.exe or ModMiiSkin.exe.


This video describes some of ModMii's many features



IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - March 2023
Warning! Effective in v7.0.0, many of the WADs in ModMii's temp folder from older versions will be deemed invalid going forward and will be automatically re-downloaded (more details in changelog). To correct the files in your temp folder all at once, download the items from the bundled "NUS_2023_Changes" download queue. After ModMii's downloaded files to its temp folder for future use you can delete COPY_TO_SD. (L)oad a prepared download queue to get started. Re-download from NUS while you can as Nintendo servers could shut down at any time!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - FEB 2018
Unfortunately, effective February 2018 ModMii's auto-update feature is broken on any version older than 6.4.5 so you will need to manually download and run the latest installer from HERE in order to start getting updates again.

​

Known bugs
As of 2025-03-12 these are the known bugs:

• If building an emunand you may see this error "Could Not Find C:\ModMii\temp\DLgotos.txt", this error is harmless and can be ignored as everything still works as it should. The fix for this will be in the next update but in the meantime it can be manually applied as follows:
  • Open support\modmii.bat in a text editor and find this

    if /i "%AbstinenceWiz%" EQU "Y" (set nSwitch=) & (set yawm=) & (goto:Download)
    
    :tinyskip
    
    goto:DLCOUNT

    and change it to this

    if /i "%AbstinenceWiz%" EQU "Y" (set nSwitch=) & (set yawm=) & (goto:Download)
    if /i "%yawm%" EQU "*" goto:DLCOUNT
    if /i "%FLOW%" EQU "*" goto:DLCOUNT
    if /i "%PL%" EQU "*" goto:DLCOUNT

MODMII FULL CHANGELOG​

 

[Davess]

First post updated with download links

Clicked on the ad just for you

Can you Install the channels, Also can you make an option just for the Channels?

 

[XFlak]

if u only want to grab the channels, type "none" when it asks for your firmware

EDIT: I forgot that this is actually stated on the first screen once u start the app, so just read the fine print

edit: this post relates to an outdated version of nusad

 

[tj_cool]

if u only want to grab the channels, type "none" when it asks for your firmware

Won't it download the IOSs then?

Too bad I couldn't finish the GUI version in time

 

[Davess]

if u only want to grab the channels, type "none" when it asks for your firmware

Thanks, Also I think many Noobs i'll post topics on help with this, Can you implement a help feature?

Because they'll never read the readme, (They never do

)

no, if you type "none" it will only install the channels you told it to install, nothing else (i just double checked it too, works fine)

i didn't even realize u were making a gui version! (thanks again TJ for checking my downloader for bugs)

 

[tj_cool]

no, if you type "none" as it will only install the channels you told it to install, nothing else (i just double checked it too, works fine)

i didn't even realize u were making a gui version! (thanks again TJ for checking my downloader for bugs)

Ah ok

Yeah I was planning to make a simple GUI for it, but its probably gonna be a little harder than I thought

Maybe I'll never even finish it, so don't wait for it

 

[XFlak]

honestly, i think the app is self-explanatory. And if anyone has trouble, they can watch the youtube video and they should be able to figure it out.

After all, its not hard, all u do is answer the Q's the app asks u, wait for it to download, then copy the contents of the COPY_TO_SD folder to the root of your SD card.

The only thing that may need explaining is how to use wad manager or dop-ios... but that would be information overload, besides, that info is available all over the place.

(so basically I'm saying I think a help feature is a waste of time, but I appreciate your input

)

no prob, feel free to add this to the complete softmod guide whenever u get a chance (or I can do it, not sure when I will get around to it though... I need to get back to the real world... so much real work to do

)

I figured you'd say that, And i Agree

 

[hdhacker]

Does it matter the order the wads are installed? Is there a program that can batch install wads?

 

[wiiman123]

Interesting program.

 

[Riicky]

Does it matter the order the wads are installed? Is there a program that can batch install wads?

You could use The Wad Manager Multi Mod or Use The Cioscorp Installer, and just replace the Cios's with the one's you downloaded with this tool

BTW this is a really nifty and usefull tool, thanks xflak!

 

[XFlak]

just use the wad manager multi-mod, links in the first post

cioscorp installer, or even waninkoko's wad batch installer frequently fails after 2 to 5 in a row...

so use wad manager multi-mod, or wad manager 1.5 if u must

but as i say in the 1st post, and in the read me, be sure to install the system menu ios before the system menu.
