There are a lot of outdated Softmod Tutorials currently floating around the internet. These outdated tutorials can lead to unnecessary issues and headaches. It's especially frustrating after you've "successfully" completed a tutorial, thinking that everything went smoothly, only to later learn that nothing's working as it should. This thread is an attempt to properly help those gamers with outdated softmods, to get their Wii Softmod up to speed, and help minimize future headaches.

- - - - - = = = = = DISCLAIMERS = = = = = - - - - -
**NOTE** This is NOT a tutorial designed to show you how to softmod a "virgin" Wii. (This is simply a guide to help those, whom already have a softmodded Wii, properly update their outdated softmod.**)

**WARNING** This tutorial is NOT designed to update your softmodded vWii on your WiiU console. Using this method to update your WiiU's vWii softmod is NOT recommended and has a HIGH CHANCE of bricking your vWii.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ^^^^ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

START HERE!! (and please read the disclaimers. There's a reason I made them big and bright.)
Alright, so you've read the disclaimers and you're still here. Meaning you have a softmodded Wii with the "Homebrew Channel" installed. This should also mean that you're currently in possession of a properly formatted SD card, with an apps folder located in it's root.

To continue you're going to need both of these apps/programs..
  • ModMii - Homepage (Once downloaded, install it onto your PC) **updated Jan 16, 2018**
  • sysCheckHDE - Download (Extract and place the sysCheck folder into the "apps" folder on your SD Card)
  • sysCheck GX 2.1.0 b19 - Alternate Download (**If the download above is for some reason inaccessible.**)

SysCheck should have this folder/file structure on your SD card....
  • SD:
    • /apps
      • /SysCheckHDE
        • boot.dol
        • icon.png
        • meta.xml
Once you have the SysCheck app saved on your SD card insert the SD card into your Wii, and start up the Homebrew Channel. Next, start up SysCheck. After SysCheck loads, simply press "A" to test the vulnerability of "ALL" IOS's. -- Once SysCheck has tested all of your installed IOS's & cIOS's, it will create a "sysCheck.csv" file, which it will automatically save to the root of your SD card. Once that's completed you'll need to move your SD card back over to your computer.

At your computer you'll need to start up ModMii. ModMii will use your recently generated "sysCheck.csv" file to inform you on which of your IOS's/cIOS's need to be updated. In this guide I'll be walking you through "ModMii Classic Mode". So if you're running "ModMii Skin" type in "I Agree" and click "Next". Once you're in the main menu select the option for "ModMii Classic Mode" (located at the bottom of the list) and continue.

There are two ways to verify your sysCheck.
Once you get to ModMii's main menu type "SU" for "sysCheck Updater". (If you're not seeing that option, then you're using ModMii's Skin Mode, you'll need to switch to ModMii Classic Mode.) - In the following screen you'll then type in the direct path of your sysCheck.csv file that's on your SD card. Since the file should've been saved to the root of your SD card, the direct path should just be your SD cards drive letter followed by the sysCheck file name. (Example: "X:\sysCheck.csv")
To do this you simply drag and drop your sysCheck.csv file onto your ModMii desktop shortcut icon. If you don't have Modmii's shortcut icon stored on your desktop, you can also drag and drop it onto the ModMii.exe. This file can be found in the directory where ModMii was installed on your computer.

From here, ModMii will show you a list of IOS's/cIOS's you'll need to download and install to successfully update your Wii. ModMii will then walk you through the process of downloading and saving the updated IOS's. After ModMii has finished it's job it will then proceed to generate a tutorial for you on how to best install the updated IOS's/cIOS's. -- Make sure to follow ModMii's tutorial to the letter. You're softmod may require more than just a simple update, and ModMii will make sure you install the correct IOS's in the necessary order.

Below I've added a list of IOS's that ModMii will typically try to update. They're all labelled with their most current revision number. -- Note that there may be other IOS's currently installed on your Wii that don't appear on this list. If ModMii doesn't recommend that you update them, don't worry. Typically, these are older IOS's that are no longer in use. Or IOS's that are specific to your Wii's system menu version and/or region. Either way, they're not particularly important to the performance of your softmod, which is why they're not also being updated. **It's important to take NOTE, that although these older/unlisted IOS's may not seem important, you should NEVER UNINSTALL ANY IOS, or you could run the risk of bricking your Wii.**
IOS9 (rev 1034)
IOS11 (rev 16174)
IOS12 (rev 526)
IOS13 (rev 1032)
IOS14 (rev 1032)
IOS15 (rev 1032)
IOS17 (rev 1032)
IOS20 (rev 16174)
IOS21 (rev 1039)
IOS22 (rev 1294)
IOS28 (rev 1807)
IOS30 (rev 16174)
IOS31 (rev 3608)
IOS33 (rev 3608)
IOS34 (rev 3608)
IOS35 (rev 3608)
IOS36 (rev 3608)
IOS37 (rev 5663)
IOS38 (rev 4124)
IOS40 (rev 16174)
IOS41 (rev 3607)
IOS43 (rev 3607)
IOS45 (rev 3607)
IOS46 (rev 3607)
IOS48 (rev 4124)
IOS50 (rev 16174)
IOS52 (rev 16174)
IOS53 (rev 5663)
IOS55 (rev 5663)
IOS56 (rev 5662)
IOS57 (rev 5919)
IOS58 (rev 6176)
IOS60 (rev 16174)
IOS61 (rev 5662)
IOS62 (rev 6430)
IOS70 (rev 16174)
IOS80 (rev 16174)
--The next list of IOS's are known as cIOS's. These custom IOS's have been patched to offer softmodded Wii's the luxury of added functionality. These differen't cIOS's are used by a variety of different homebrew applications, and are required for most homebrew to function properly.

It's important to have updated cIOS's because with each updated cIOS revision new features and functionalities are added. Current homebrew apps may be reliant on the features supported by the most current cIOS's. So if you try to run these up-to-date homebrew apps, but your Wii is still using outdated cIOS's, the homebrew app may fail to function since the features required for it to run properly don't exist within the older cIOS revisions.
IOS202[60] (rev 65535 hermesrodries-v6)
IOS222[38] (rev 4 hermes-v4)
IOS223[38+37] (rev 4 hermes-v4)
IOS224[57] (rev 65535 hermesrodries-v6)
IOS236 (rev 54321)
IOS249[56] (rev 21008 d2x-v8final)
IOS250[57] (rev 21008 d2x-v8final)
Keep in mind that these cIOS versions listed above are ModMii's recommendations. They are recommended by ModMii because they are considered to have the best all-around compatibility with most of today's homebrew.

Also note that cIOS's can also be very user specific. Advanced users will often generate cIOS's that contain feature-sets more aligned with their own specific needs. And because of this, you may hear different users swear by different cIOS versions than the ones listed above. -- Whichever cIOS's you decide to have installed on your Wii will ultimately be up to you. It will depend on which features and functionalities you favor the most. With that said, the cIOS's listed above are a good starting point for those who aren't sure yet. These will solve most issues that people have with compatibility.

***If I've left anything out please let me know and I'll update the thread.***

UPDATE: I found many references stating that ModMii is was safer than the regular System Update from nintendo. Even when you are in older firmwares. So I did it. I followed your steps. and everything is working perfectly now!

Thanks!

PS: don't forget to add the details about the "SU" mode in ModMii and the url to download it.


------------------------------------------

OK, I followed your guide. I downloaded the latest (6.3.7) modmii installer from
http://modmii.comuf.com/

Then when I had to choose what to do, I chose the classic mode, and then "SU" (sysCheck Updater)

Here is the interesting part. The list of IOS that need to be updated is this:
Code:
    IOS11v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS20v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS30v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS40v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS50v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS52v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS60v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS70v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    IOS80v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP])
    cIOS202[60]-v5.1R
    cIOS224[57]-v5.1R
    cIOS249[56]-d2x-v8-final
    cIOS250[57]-d2x-v8-final
    IOS9-64-v1034
    IOS12-64-v526
    IOS13-64-v1032
    IOS14-64-v1032
    IOS15-64-v1032
    IOS17-64-v1032
    IOS21-64-v1039
    IOS22-64-v1294
    IOS28-64-v1807
    IOS31-64-v3608
    IOS33-64-v3608
    IOS34-64-v3608
    IOS35-64-v3608
    IOS36-64-v3608
    IOS37-64-v5663
    IOS38-64-v4124
    IOS41-64-v3607
    IOS43-64-v3607
    IOS45-64-v3607
    IOS46-64-v3607
    IOS48-64-v4124
    IOS53-64-v5663
    IOS55-64-v5663
    IOS56-64-v5662
    IOS57-64-v5919
    IOS61-64-v5662
    IOS62-64-v6430


There are a lot of system IOS there! is that correct? is this a normal procedure? Shouldn't it be "safer" to update through the wii auto-updater, and then re-install the custom cIOS that I want to install?

Thanks!

The ModMii guide takes IOS60v6174 and installs it into every other SM IOS slot as v16174 (higher version number than the stub for each slot but indicates you installed a v6174 there) so if you ever install any other System Menu it won't brick your Wii.
By using the IOS used by SM 4.0/4.1 you have SDHC capabilities without the anti-modding measures introduced in IOS70 and IOS80.

IOSs 9-61 are game IOS that you must have had older versions of. IOS62 is just for WiiU transfer.
If you were on 4.3 before you modded there isn't anything different on the new ones other than the +1 version number.


Depending on what guide or mods you did an official update cold brick your Wii.
There was a period where guides had you install a modded SM that just ran on IOS60v6174 so by doing an official update the modded SM would stay but the IOS60 would get updated to v6400 (non-functioning stub) and IOS70 or IOS80 would be installed but your modded SM was made to run on IOS60...

ModMii installs all SM IOSs as v16174 so they are higher than the stubs and will never be overwritten, making it safer and able to survive the accidental official up date, which will overwrite cIOS 202, 222, and 249. But that is easily fixed as HBC will survive.
Yes, there is a risk that IF you lose power while your SM IOS is being updated it could result in a brick. Just don't do the update when there is a power loss risk, either by storm or little kids tripping over the power cord.

Great guide, this should help a lot of people still following those youtube tutorials from 2009 (there are a lot of them).

Although I would put a big note at the top stating that none of this is for Wii U, installing some of the things ModMii says could brick the vWii side of things.

I'm a noob and tried to softmod my Wii from some youtube video a week ago. It won't play any WADs or load my Snes9x GX emulator. The Wads make the Wii freeze and Wiimote turns off, the emulator goes to the load screen then the Wiimote turns off and I get kicked back to the main Wii Home screen. I have no idea what I'm doing other than following youtube and other tutorials. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All 'm trying to do is play SNES games on the Wii, however that can be accomplished.

will this work on a hacked korean wii? It is using 4.3U and already have homebrew (1.0.8) installed.
This I'm not sure. It depends on which System Menu version SysCheck detects. I assume that if you're Korean Wii has a 4.3U system menu installed that ModMii would offer updated IOS/cIOS's for 4.3U. At the very least you should attempt to run a SysCheck just to see what information it gathers.

I returned your message and asked for a link to the youtube video you watched. I'd be able to better help you if I know which steps you followed.

Could you perhaps remove the colours from your guide, it's hard to see on the dark theme.
Thanks.. I didn't think about the Dark Theme. I've updated it so that the problematic font colors are gone.

Hello!

I am happy that I have found a somewhat close to recent thread about homebrew&softmodding. Most threads regarding homebrew optimization in all forums I have searched where dated 2012 at best.

I recently upgraded my Wii using the Syscheck method.
But I still got the problem, that many homebrew apps won't run.
For example I want to play Secret Maryo Chronicles.
But everytime I start the game from homebrew channel, the screen just turns black and I have to power off the wii for making anything work.
Also The Homebrew Browser won't accept my USB-device, it will only load from SD card.
The USB-device is working for USB Loader GX and configurable USB loader, though.

Here's my sycheck HD log, in case anyone still reads this (I hope).

I know there won't be too many supporters for such an old topic anymore, so if anyone who got a clue about this is reading this, please bother helping me here because there aren't much chances for me to make this ever run at ll.

Thank you, very much! :)

I know there won't be too many supporters for such an old topic anymore, so if anyone who got a clue about this is reading this, please bother helping me here because there aren't much chances for me to make this ever run at ll.

Thank you, very much! :)
The syscheck you used is a bit outdated. If you post a syscheck using this guide we can get more useful results.

Report generated on 12/19/2016.

I want to play homebrew games. Some hombrew apps, like WiiXplorer and all the hack, mod and patch tools are working. But many homebrew games I tried just give a black screen (like Secret Maryo Chronicles and eduke32).
Also I got some trouble with the different remotes I have, but I don't think it's related to this.
I have updated the Wii using ModMii-syscheck method before. As the homebrew game didn't work, I also tried appliying some patches since, like IOS36, but it still won't work, and so I have used ModMii again, that's what the syscheck reflects.
Thank you very much, for trying to help!

This I'm not sure. It depends on which System Menu version SysCheck detects. I assume that if you're Korean Wii has a 4.3U system menu installed that ModMii would offer updated IOS/cIOS's for 4.3U. At the very least you should attempt to run a SysCheck just to see what information it gathers.

I returned your message and asked for a link to the youtube video you watched. I'd be able to better help you if I know which steps you followed.

Thanks.. I didn't think about the Dark Theme. I've updated it so that the problematic font colors are gone.
YOU WANNA GIVE ME A HAND WITH THIS QUICK?

i have a old softmod wii from a family friend whos given it to me to mod for him but there is a few issues with it.

it's on 3.3E firmware ,ios55 v18.25, homebrew channel v1.0.3, CIOS36_rev5-64-v1042.

it also has bootmii installed in the NAND.

i'm not sure what to do with it and don't want to cause a brick but i want to get this thing updated and running for them, i haven't been in the scene for a while so my knowledge is rusty lol

would it be best to follow this guide to get the everything required to run updated or is it best to format, update via nintendos servers and reinstall the letterbomb hack instead? any advice?

it doesn't matter modmii links are dead, modmii servers are dead and you can't download and install anything so back to square one, this guide might as well be locked or deleted as it's useless now.

Just want to give a big thanks to the original poster. I have an old softmodded Wii that I haven't used in over 5 years, and I felt like playing so retro VC games. I totally forgot how to do anything in the Wii scene, and was pretty lost. Thanks to this simple guide, I got everything updated safely. To the poster above me, the ModMii servers must be back up because everything went smoothly for me

Sorry for the late reply. Without knowing exactly what was done, I'm a little reluctant to tell you to update it via Nintendo's servers. You shouldn't need to format the console, actually formatting can often lead to unwanted issues. If I remember correctly, ModMii will even walk you through updating your System Menu. Essentially walking you through the process of remodding your Wii. I believe it's the "ModMii Wizard" option.


This guide is great! Do you think you will be able to make a tutorial on how to update the mods on the vWii?
Thanks! I've yet to softmod my Wii U. So unfortunately I have no hands-on experience that would help in creating a vWii update guide.

Hey Potugeek, I'm on 4.0 and my cIOS in 249 is pretty old and it doesn't seem to know which one is 250. Thus, I've been told to update via the system menu, but your tut looks better for me since I don't want to have to re-install all of my apps/wads. I just wanted to make sure everything is up to date with your tut, and that I can do this with a Mac since I don't have a PC. Thanks in advance!
