Hacking How to install Wii system menu themes without MyMenuify?
...you should figure out why mymenuify doesn't work and fix that problem instead...or try another version of MyMenuify.
That said, you have one, maybe two options that i know of (which are really two ways of using the same option)....Customizmii (you can get it from modmii) is a is a PC app which allows you to combine a theme and SM.wad which you can then install with a wad manager. also, Modmii can make themed system menu wads (i'm sure it utilizes customizemii as well). i don't know if it's possible, but you can see how modmii does this and substitute out the ones it downloads with your own. HOWEVER: i would ONLY install themed SM.wads if you have bootmii/boot2 though...since installing a system menu wad leaves you without priiloader. without bootmii/boot2, it's a full brick if you have a corrupt theme. using mymenuify leaves priiloader intact so you should be able to recover from theme bricks.
i've never done it, but i imagine you could test out a themed SM.wad with dolphin to reduce the risk of a corrupt theme....don't know if that's possible though. ...someone with more dolphin experience would need to chime in.
EDIT: silly me: along the same lines of maybe testing in dolphin, you could (and should) test themed SM.wads in a *NEEK environment.

customizemii is only for making channels not system wads
modmii uses a command line app to add a theme to the system menu app then packs it in the menu wad to be installed
installing a themed wad can brick your wii if not done correctly as it will delete priiloader from your wii
you should look here to see if this helps fix mymenuify on your wii

Orrrr you could make a NAND backup, edit it in ShowMiiNand and replace the system menu title with the one the theme maker on the PC gives you, then reflash the NAND.
ah shiiiit...i'm an idiot. i was meaning ThemeMii, not customizemii... but i think i'm still wrong. i thought i had made some themed system menu wads in the past using it, but after looking at it closer, i think i'm just remembering incorrectly. Suck!~

I've tried that, when I launch it from HBC, my Wii Remote doesn't connect when it tells me to press A

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
