Hello everyone.

I just started my wii back up again to get it ready to play skyward sword. It's been a year since the last time I did anything with it. I had homebrew channel installed and was running Uloader for my backups.

I updated to 4.3E and got homebrew to work again through the letterbomb hack. I downloaded neogamma r9 beta 49 as my new backup loader but I forgot I have to install a bunch of cios's to get things working.

I also forgot HOW I have to install said cios, and which one. Can anyone help me with this?

My objective is to play skyward sword, if anyone has a suggestion for a better alternative, I'm all ears. I do not have a usb drive though (usb stick, does that work?) So it'll have to be disk based.

Thanks for the help, I know you must've heard this stuff a million times before.

I was in the exact boat you are in, just a few days ago.
Here's my suggestion...
Use sysCheck to create a CSV of your current IOS's and cIOS's.
Then, use ModMii (on Windows), and use the "SU" to create the necessary installers, to update your Wii's IOS's.
Be sure you have d2x cIOS v6 or v7 with an IOS 249 base 56 installed (I think ModMii does this for you)
Update your USB Loaders.
I've successfully played the game with the newest releases of WiiFlow and USB Loader GX.

The above is definitely not a step-by-step, but I think you'll be able to figure out the basics in-between.

Good Luck!!

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
