Hello there, how's it going?

I was randomly searching on the internet about Wii softmodding, and I came across this forum. I had my Wii for 3 years now, so I decided to fire it up again 2 days ago. At first I thought my Wii had a modchip, because it could play pirated copies (not sure if you're allowed to discuss about piracy here). So I burned a game, thinking it would work, but no, the disc wouldn't read.

After searching about Wii modding, I saw people talking about Homebrew Channel. Then I noticed on my Wii that I also have Homebrew Channel. My Wii system version is 3.4E, and Homebrew's version is 1.0.3 IOS36 v255.255 (full details). Then I checked the BootMii option, and my screen went black.

Now for the questions:
1. What files do I need for softmodding 3.4E Wii?
2. If I uninstall the Homebrew Channel in the HackMii installer, and then install it again using HackMii, is it going to harm my Wii?
3. Can I play pirated copies after softmodding Wii? If so, how can I do that?
4. On Youtube, during the tutorials I saw Gecko OS and NeoGamma, what are those?
5. Can you somehow brick your Wii, or do anything to it when softmodding your Wii? E.g: Not installing something properly, or something like that.

About the Homebrew Channel in the paragraph above: Right after I got my Wii, I went to the game shop to get it chipped. After that, I got some games, thinking it would run pirated games, not even noticing the Homebrew Channel in the first place.

I'm a total noob when it comes to Wii hacking, because I've never tried it, so please bear with me.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @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
