Help test new tools for ModMii please!

Hi folks, so ModMii has been around a long time and dare I say it is the best and easiest way to mod a wii today. Just one problem, those with only wiimote plus remotes have issues using Any Region Changer (ARC) and MMM. My pal @scooby74029 has been working on replacements that support wiimote+ remotes but before I roll them out to the masses, I'd like for others to test them to work out any bugs (if any).

First up, is ARC ModMii Edition (ARCME), download the test release HERE. Please don't beta test this without brick protection and without knowing what you're doing. To test this, basically run ModMIi's Region Change guide, but use ARCME instead of the version of ARC currently used by ModMii. If ARCME detects a region mismatch, all you should have to do is select the "Fix" option. The older version of ARC would require you to set a region, save the settings, then go back and change the video mode to whatever it was set to before, and save again. The "Fix" option in scooby's ARCME takes care of all that (i.e. it doesn't mess with the video mode setting but changes everything else to align with the installed system menu region). It's a minor improvement over the original but don't forget it also supports wiimote+ remotes so ARCME FTW!

The second tool scooby is working on isn't ready for testing yet, but because there's no source code publicly available for MMM, we are planning on modifying @FIX94 's some yawmm mod to add an app launcher menu that appears before returning to the loader (this will be the only change as it already supports wiimote+ remotes). This isn't meant to replace all that MMM can do, but rather just what ModMIi's needs MMM to do. Really this app launcher feature is only needed for ModMIi's HackMii Solutions guide to avoid some extra steps, but when ready ModMii will use it instead of MMM in all its guides. When scooby's YAWMM Mod is ready it can be tested safely even without bootmii @ boot2 as long as you are installing non-critical wads (i.e. anything that's not system menu or system menu IOS related)

So, for now just 1 tool to test (ARC ME) but I'll post again when YAWMM ModMii Edition is ready to be tested. Thanks in advance to anyone able to take the time to test these tools for us!

TLDR
Please test Any Region Changer ModMii Edition (Please don't beta test this without brick protection. To test properly run ModMIi's Region Change guide, but use ARCME instead of the version of ARC currently used by ModMii. Do not run this app by itself and guess what to do, only use it with a ModMii region change guide in place of the ARC app ModMii currently uses by default.)
One more app that needs testing is coming... eventually.

 

Bump!

 

Bueller? Bueller?
...
Bueller?

 

Thanks! So far so good.

I think I may have neglected to mention that it worked for me as well (changed from U to E and back), and no one has reported any issues. If we could get it tested on a couple more/different consoles that would great. With it tested on just 2 consoles so far it seems premature for public release (even though I honestly believe it's ready).

Yeah, I love me a good "Bueller?" joke. It's basically like asking "Anyone? Anyone?"

 

Thanks @Ryccardo! Can you share the specifics too like what region/firmware you started from and went to? Also, why do you think game region should be left alone? I'm actually not certain what difference that makes specifically off the top of my head.

@scooby74029, any ideas on the the auto fix issue described above? I may have started this thread but my area of expertise in this case starts and ends with soliciting feedback, lol, you are the clearly the brains of this operation!!

 

So console was originally 4.3E, and you converted to 4.1J, then to 4.1E? And during both region changes the fix button didn't leave the video mode setting alone? Sorry just trying to summarize for scooby because you were right it does sound a bit complicated, lol.

As you say there are priiloader hacks for region free everything so I think it makes sense to change it to be a more 'pure' region change. TBH I don't feel strongly one way or the other but I appreciate you sharing your opinion.

Edit: just thought I'd add that I think region changing is generally pretty pointless, but added the functionality to ModMii so it can live up to the claim that it does it all. Region changing between E and U is particularly pointless, but if a user wants to region change for whatever reason I'm going to assume they want everything changed (with the exception of video mode, because they probably want to avoid a black screen, lol)

 

Hey Scooby, I think we continue as is (I. E. Leave video mode untouched and adjust everything else). Can yo u think of any reason why Ryccardo's video mode setting was changed by the auto fix option?

 

I could've sworn video mode didn't change when I tested it, and I know that's the behaviour we discussed (I just double checked our PMs to be sure), but if you never made the adjustment to begin with then I might be mistaken. But yeah I think it would be better to leave video mode unchanged if you are able to investigate that Thanks dude

 

Bump. Anyone else able to test?

 

Yes
