Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

[Yuan]

There are now new Red Wiis. Anyone know what they come with and if this guide is still applicable?

Yes. Remembering that all red wiis come with 4.3, so you will need one of exploitable games.

 

[BBking83]

Yep, cool. Hacked 4.3 before. Thanks for your help.

Why are you trying to install ios41? Follow the modify 4.3 part.

[digipokemaster]

is it possible to get all the file preloaded in one file so all anyone has to do is add them to the sd card?

 

[burritoboy9984]

As far as a universal mod that will work for any wii? No (which is why it is in 2 file packs

). The only thing that would really need to be changed would be bannerbomb for

ill be getting a EU wii in red for christmas, I keep reading online that the yugioh exploit works on EU wiis too, but couldnt find any tutorial videos so far...

in this guide, it says the exploit only works on us/j wiis

what would be true?

reason being, indiana jones costs about 80€ while yugioh is about 20€, so i'd prefer yugioh.

has anyone already used the yugioh exploit to get homebrews running on a EU (german) wii?

Yu-gi-oh exploit works on EU wiis, here are the instructions:

http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Yu-Gi-OWNED!

P.S.: Like other game exploits, it only works with SD cards (cards up to 2gb), SDHC cards are not supported.

 

[Clydefrosch]

ive been on that page before, but it just seems to show me an empty wikipedia like page with Yu-Gi-OWNED as title :/

that wouldnt be a problem i guess, i still have a 2GB SD Card from sandisk (bought for a digicam ages ago) somewhere.

but thanks anyway, if it does work, ill probably buy the game tomorrow... seen threads about the game being sold out randomly already

It is because the ! is not counted as link here. Copy the link and paste in your browser and it will work.

FYI, the instructions for that are in the main post, see the 9/5/10 update part...

ok, thank you, that seems mostly easy as far as i can tell.

now, not having a wii yet, is it any hard to determine which hz version to use?
so far, every game that asked me if i'd like 50 or 60 hz, both options worked well, so will i be able to use either?


a last quick question, what would i have to do if i only wanted to install the homebrew channel and nothing else on the wii?

I don't know a lot about pal tv's as I am from usa... If you are using component cables, I would ASSume you could use either, if you are using the composite equivalent, I would ASSume you would need the 50hz, this is just a total guess as I have no actual knowledge once again...

As far as installing the hbc, just follow the installing the hbc step (you can skip bootmii if you want), and stop after.

using xzxero guide I updated my Wii to Hermes cIOSv5 from cIOSv4 with wad files. I have a 1.5TB drive that is partitioned into 3 partitons 1st fat32, 2nd wbfs and 3rd wbfs . I was able to load and play games on my second partition using ios222v4 but ever since I updated to ios222v5 the games will not play on 2nd partition. Can I just use the following wads to go back to hermes v4?

cIOS202[38+60]-v4.wad
cIOS222[38+37]-v4.wad
cIOS223[38]-v4.wad

I asked under usb loaders but that might be the wrong place to ask?

 

[burritoboy9984]

Yes, just have ios236 loaded, and install over them.

[martinezgene]

-Erik

Is this meant for me? If so do I just install the same way I update to v5
Run 1. Multi-Mod Manager 13.4 and select the wads for v4?

 

[burritoboy9984]

Yes.

-Erik

 

[GameSoul]

My friend is on 4.2U and has successfully installed HBC, Bootmii, and IOS236. He has usbloader and has played games online, but the problem is he is unable to install the wad pack for MMM part of the guide. Any reason this could be?

 

[narusis]

Stupid question: Is there a log or something to check if you've installed everything correctly?

 

[RoMee]

okay, I'm a total noob when it comes to wii mod, and is about to start modding my Wii
few questions

Smash Stack For US Wii owners on 4.3.
all I need is the 43mod.zip right?

should I install bootmii as IOS or boot2?

should I be connected to the internet during the whole process?
