(Disclaimer: Stop in your tracks and visit
https://gbatemp.net/threads/modify-any-wii-4-3-below.171901/
It is a MUCH more updated tutorial for Soft-Modding your Wii. )


(If you new to Softmod a Wii this will give you a 100% safe guide from start-to-finish to play Wii Games, Gamecube Games and Wiiware/Virtual Console games from an USB-drive. Im not kidding. In this guide we only use official files to minimize any risks apart from Step 4 . But I can assure I used this guide to softmod my sister's Wii. She can now play Skyward Sword by USB-drive without problem! :) )

Requirements:
*SD Card (no SDHC)
*SD Card reader
*Wii updated to 4.3 (4.3 is latest version, just update your Wii and you be fine)
*Internet Connected Wii
*USB-hdd to store Wii games and Gamecube games
*To play Gamecube games you need this Wii Console and Gamecube Controller
(No Gamecube Memory Card is required if you use NMM)

A short description what each step does
Step 1 - You install Homebrew Channel to install Apps.
Step 2 - Safety Precaution. Backup Wii System (NAND) to your PC.
Step 3 - Safety Precaution. Install Priiloader to prevent disc updates to damage your Wii.
Step 4 - Patch IOS and Install WADs using Two Easy Apps. Install USB Loader GX to Play Wii Games .
Step 5 - Install a d2x Custom IOS to enable New Wii Games. Install DiosMios to Play Gamecube Games.
(Spoilers Window) Add 'n Play Wii/Gamecube Games + Update USB Loader GX (req for Gamecube games)
Step 6 - emulate Wii System (NAND) on USB-hdd making Add WiiWare/VC Games near impossible to damage your Wii .

1. Install Homebrew Channel

Follow HighTeckMans instructions in video :


2. Backup Wii NAND (to restore your Wii if anything goes wrong)

Important! Make sure SD-card has more then 700mb free space
Important! Make sure your Wii has more then 700 blocks open. To Check: Turn on your Wii. Goto Wii Options - Data Management - Save Data - Wii. In 'Blocks Open:' there should stand 700 or higher. Then Return to Wii Menu. Press Back 4 times.
Follow S Winegars instructions in video :
- In BootMii use the Power button to cycle through options in the menu, and Reset to select.


1. When Wii NAND is backed-up using Project Phoenix Medias video guide. Shutdown Wii. Remove SD-card from Wii and put SD-card into Computer.
2. Open SD:\ and check that you have two following files 'NAND.BIN' and 'KEYS.BIN'. Copy these two files into a safe location on your Computer. My tips is to save them into a usb-stick or Dropbox if your Computer crash.
3. Once you saved the two files 'NAND.BIN' and 'KEYS.BIN' you should remove them from SD-card (NAND.BIN takes 500mb)
4. Done! :)

3. Install Priiloader (regionfree games and stop updates)

1. Plug SD-card into Computer
2. Download Priiloader_v0_7.zip . Unzip and Put it into your SD Card. (SD:\)
3. Download hacks_hash.ini - Scroll down to 'Pre-compiled Hacks download' , right-click, save link as, and save into SD:/apps/Priiloader/ .
4. Remove SD-card from Computer and plug into Wii . Turn on your Wii. Launch Homebrew Channel. Then launch Priiloader.
5. Press A to Install
6. Once Priiloader is installed shut down the Wii (Sometimes you Wii freezes after Priiloader installation. Its totally normal. Just re-start your Wii with reset and after Wi Menu appears shut down the Wii)

(configure Priiloader)
1. Press the "Power" button while holding down the "Reset" button on your Wii until the Priiloader menu is displayed on your screen.
2. In Priiloader select "System Menu Hacks". These are the following 7 hacks I suggest you select: 'Region free EVERYTHING', 'Block Disc Updates', 'Remove NoCopy Save File Protection', 'Block Online Updates', 'Remove Diagnostic Disc Check', 'Move Disc Channel', 'Auto Press 'A' at health screen'. Select Save Settings when Done.
3. To Exit Priiloader select System Menu
4. Done! :)

A video how to configure Priiloader can be found here :


PS: By having Priiloader you prevent disc updates that can damage Homebrew.

4. Install USB Loader and Custom ISO

Follow HighTeckMans instructions in video - Zip-file from Youtube video Required :

PS: Just so you know - I tried it myself. If you WiiWare wasn't working through emuNAND. Look in USBLoader GX - Settings - Credits, if your using the 'cIOS249-d2x-v10-beta52' it will not work! Go ahead and install IOS249[56]-d2x9b47.wad using Step 5 in this guide. Then Wiiware works. :)

Fix Blackscreen with VC in emuNAND
Happens when playing USA games with a European Wii. Open selected VC game - 'Settings' - 'Loader Settings'in 'Video Patch 'select Force NTFC. Press Save. Now it should work. :)

Use cheats (Ocarnia) in Wiiware/VC games
Unfortunely I can't get Ocarnia working with Wiiware/VC games in USB Loader GX. So an alternate solution is to use the App '....tbc

The benefit of emuNAND
WAD installation happens on Computer therefore there is NONE TO LESS risk of Brick your Wii. If you wish to play Wiiware/VC games emuNAND is your solution. period.

SD is for installing Softmod + apps = less then 1gigabyte . Only reason you even getting a SD over 500 mb is so you can backup your wii. It takes just about 500+mb.
Also you emulate your wii to play Wiiware / VC games. That takes some harddrive space as well.

SD = apps + softmod
USB hhd = Wii / Gamecube games + Wiiware / VC games. + whatever else you want on a harddrive.
OP said the above, so I am really confused. I would prefer sd card tbh. I was thinking about getting 64GB. There is only 1-2 Wii games I/my nephews want to play. I am more interested in boyhood NES, SNES N64 games, which I want to get as many as I can on the SD so I don't have to transfer over and over again.

I can't really give you a proper estimate since I'm assuming you wish to have various NES, SNES, and N64 ROMS, each of different file sizes (the latter having the greatest file size). I use an 8GB SD Card and I can tell you from personal experience, having the extra space is always a good thing. I previously had a 2GB, and I found myself needing more space really quickly.

It's hard to say because, firstly, different ROM platforms have different sizes and secondly, for each platform, game sizes can vary a lot. Best thing is to get a 2gb SD card and for roms and stuff get another SD card such as 8 GB.

I run all my games through the SD Card (Wii, GCN, PSX, N64, etc.), so naturally, I would want a larger SD. Its all relative to what you want. 64GB is great; personally, the more the space you have, the better. Especially if you don't plan on investing on a USB HDD.

So I can follow OP, and use 64GB SDXC for ROMS right?

Yeah. It seems that you are concerned about the OP saying that the SD Card is only for the apps and softmodding files. Not true. You can run games/ROMS like Wii and GCN through an SD Card. I've done it myself since: a) I don't want to purchase a USB HDD dedicated to my Wii, and b), I don't want to have a USB HDD sitting on top of my Wii if I don't have to.

Just check the compatibility list for SD Cards and you'll be fine.

So basically get a 2GB SD card. This one is to have the homebrew apps that require the sd card to be less or equal to 2 GB. And get another SD card which is 32 GB or less. Homebrew may support upto 64 GB or something like that (im not sure) but I believe the Wii system menu 4.0 and above support up to 32 GB. The 32 GB will be more than enough to store all the N64, SNES, NES ROMS. So to clear up get these two:

-2GB SD card
-32GB SD card

I personally just have a 2 GB SD card because I don't really play ROMS.

I use a 128gb SDXC card with no problems. The 2gb SD card is just to get you modded. After modding I think any Wii v4.1 & above can use the SDHC & SDXC cards.

I've been using the 128gb SDXC for over 6 months now, along with an external 4TB USB HDD without any problems.

Hi, I've been following the tutorial and am stuck on Step 5. When trying to load "USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder.wad" I get the error "ERROR! (ret = -1022)".

How can I resolve this please? Is is a bad .wad file or something to do with the IOS?

Managed to get my problem sorted by using a different download for the USB Loader GX. There may be a problem with the one linked on HighTekMan's video, or maybe it was just a user error on my side.

Anyway it's all up and running, your guide is fantastic, thank you so much!

Hey Stephaniie, fantastic guide. Thanks for making it and sticking around to help everyone. :yay:

Each step has been working for me until now, which is Step 5 where you said to install IOS249[56]-d2x9b47.wad in WiiMod before installing DIOSMIOS. It seems to install normally but when I try going back to the Main Menu in WiiMod it starts checking IOS's and gets stuck on Stub 223 (not frozen, just keeps trying to proceed endlessly)

I had to shutdown with the power button to retry this step and it happens the same every time. I could just go ahead because IOS 249 shows up on the 'Change IOS' list but I'm concerned that this hang up on the IOS check means there is something wrong with it so I figure it's better to ask before proceeding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for you time.

yes banjo. dont use highteckmans usbloader, use the newest one that is available in dmlizard. ...

i should make a note that its essential to do all step 1-5 including the spoilers inside window, so you use the latest version of usbloader.

summary: dont use highteckmans usbloader gx until you update it in spoilers window in step 5 .

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

hope that sorted your problems branueye, :) . imnot sure why ios check would freeze.

I can't install BootMii, will this cause any problems or will it just mean I can't restore the NAND if bricked ?.
Error: The installed boot1 version prevents a boot 2 install (-2)
The system is the white console and I got on Ebay, (shipped with parental lock, which I removed).

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, I'm stuck in step 5. DMlizard doesn´t have the same option as the video (lack download option). Probably because DMlizard are in offline mode. I tried in 3 different computers and always got offline mode! Desactivate antivirus and firewall. Still offline.

Please what I´m missing?

I can't install BootMii, will this cause any problems or will it just mean I can't restore the NAND if bricked ?.
Error: The installed boot1 version prevents a boot 2 install (-2)
The system is the white console and I got on Ebay, (shipped with parental lock, which I removed).

Thanks in advance for the help.
it will not affect anything in particular,

Boot menu is just an option for older wiis.
You are fine wihout it on a softmodded wii.

My sis wii has no boot2 menu, its softmodded without anh issues,

Thanks for the link but still doesn´t work.

If I just unzip it and try to run, I got this message:

"missing at least one required file. Please estabilish an internet connection and restart DMlizard.
DMlizard will automatically download the required file then"

If I just replace the executable in the directory from the zip file from Ace (youtube), DMlizard runs, but still offline.

It seams the program cannot connect to the internet or the server is down(?).

Do I have another option to install it without DMlizard?

Thanks

I also tried to install 249 d2x-v10beta52. Same results.
