Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

[Pyrate02]

hi:

i have a question - a friend asked me to mod a wii that has been updated to 4.3u. i downloaded the 43mod files and stuck them on the root of an sd card. does this have all the files needed to install hbc on a 4.3u wii?

the instructions here - http://wiibrew.org/wiki/smash_stack - say to do the following:

# connect the sd card to your computer and rename the "private" folder to "privateold" in the root of the sd card.
# copy the "private" folder from the smash stack download to the root of the sd card.
# grab a *.elf file (hackmii installer works) and put that in the root of the sd card.
# insert the sd card into the wii.
# go back to the stage builder and the .elf file will load.

do i need to do this? or is this automatically set up in the 43mod files?

thanks for your assistance.

I made the mistake of updating my wii when i was fixing my internet connection. after the update my homebrew channel was gone. I tried the smash stack exploit but it freezes when i go into stage builder. What else can I do?

The guide tells you what you need to do.

Try re-copying the files. Smash stack still works.

try using ios236 in MMM to install wads

I do not seem to have ios236. At least when I go to mmm and select iso manager it goes from 223 to 249

 

[burritoboy9984]

Then run the ios236 installer as the guide says

download the ios236 v5 installer from http://gwht.wikidot.com/ios236 and run thru hbc

btw if you did install ios236 and pressed '1' to say you're a pirate, the ios is removed. make sure to press '2'.

I have a wii soft modded perfectly using this guide for 4.2, I use a external drive and load games using the usb loader and I'm extremely happy. However I just downloaded def jam rapstar and Im having an issue since my external drive is using the slot the wii wants the mic plugged in. I tried using a couple different usb hubs however the wii doesnt like them. I currently tried burning the game to a dvd+r disc using imgburn set to 1x speed and loading it with neogamma 15 beta to only receive a disk read error 1045 I believe. So I need some guidance a good work around for this issue.

I had the same problem. I have the old rock band mic that is plugged into the opposite usb port than the loader and this is how it is working for me. Burned on verbatim dvd-r @ 4x and installed darkcorps v1.1 and it works like a champ. Works on Wii 4.2U Rev19 dark v1.1 and on 4.3U Rev20 dark v1.1. I am still trying to get it to work on usb loader gx. I am going to start a thread with the question of loader.

thanks for this great guide so easy to follow. I was wondering if there is anyway you can can add IOS 57 running with 224

 

[burritoboy9984]

Did you even attempt to look in the cios.zip? Not 100% sure, but I believe I put it in there...

Sorry for asking before checking. It is in there. do you know if they are v.5.1. My system is already modded can just add with the wad manager?
thanks again

I think I only used the 5.0 installer, if they are named v5 they are 5, if they are named 5.1, they are 5.1.

guys just curious why hbc needs to run under IOS 58,whats the advantage of it?
and suppose that I have made a nand backup right after installing the HBC the first time do I need to make a nand backup again when I REINSTALL HBC to run under IOS58?(if it is not running under IOS 58 of course)

PS:
I always put all Homebrew applications and usb loader files in the sd card and they load from there
(if it has anything related to HBC's need to run under IOS58)

[burritoboy9984]

No, you don't need to do another nand backup, but it can't hurt. Ios58 is for usb 2

thank you guys for the replies,we finally saw a reason to update to 4.3,i dont want to use the ios58 installer and updating to 4.3 would be good as I have the original adventures game

I have used the old 4.2u guide 20 times and never had an issue. Today I picked up a Black wii and used the updated 4.2 guide and got to the wad install part and all it's installing is the 58 wad the rest get the -2011 ticket. It states that only 1 completed and 6 did not complete.

I don't understand what's going on and am stuck. I didn't install the 236 because as far as iI can tell that part of the guide is for 4.3 only.

The wii is on 4.2u. Someone please chime in and let me know what's up. There are quite a bit of steps that are diffrent in this guide.


Thanks

EDIT:

I was able to get past the truchabug part after about 10 tries logging in to the net and then finally reformatting the SD card. I got a little nervous because I initially skipped that part because of the part where it says ONLY FOR 4.3u wii's/ Please change that in the original post, (it's extremely misleading) I even tried to use the old 4.2u modify folder and it would not downgrade ios15. Anyway after trying again, everything worked out. Thanks again for AN EXCELLENT updated guide.
