Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

[Evil-Popeye]

So I take it your system menu is 4.2, and you have removed the stubs? You've done that right so far I just think you've stopped too early. Did you do this part? http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/cios/waninkoko

What WAD are you trying to install? Maybe you placed the WAD in the wrong spot on the SD card. Where have you put the WAD file?

only the 222 or all the others?


i put in \wad\

i think it's the SD card.. even the homebrew browser fails to mount the SD

If the homebrew browser can't read the SD card then how did you manage to install the cIOS's just before. Install all of Hermes cIOS's, it'll increase your compatibilty.

that's why i'm a bit confused.... running from .dol files works perfectly.. but if i run wad manager it says that can't mount the SD....

What is the WAD you're trying to install for anyway? Is there a folder in the root of the SD card called wad with the WAD file inside it?

it's a vc game.... gradiusrebirth

You have priiloader installed and a NAND backup right? That's a must have before you install WAD files. Is there a folder on the root of the SD card called wad with the WAD file that you're installing inside it?

I can't see it being your SD card if the homebrew channel is able to boot applications off of it. What version is your system menu? I think installing the WAD should work now because you have cIOS 249 installed, so make sure that when you launch wadmanager you choose 249.

 

[toxegaju]

i do that...

my system menu is the latest: 4.2e

anyway, i just softmoded the WII to play .isos from a usb HDD, just trying to see how .wad works..

Well if it still doesn't work then I have no idea what the problem is, sorry I can't help you out

 

[toxegaju]

np, thanks a lot for the tips abou the 249 stuff....

i only need to run the isos from the usb HDD... ty anyway

 

[stingray1059]

need help ASAP.. ive softmodded a korean 4.2k wii.

i use dop ios/bannerbomb method so that i can install HBC. then afterthat i use this tutorial found on the 1st page.

everything installed fine.. however when i install neogamma and usbloader the wii goes back to the main menu. wiiware works fine.

 

[XFlak]

what rev of neogamma and usbloader are u using?
what cios revs do u have?
What format is your harddrive?

the answer to your problem lies in the answers to those 3 questions.

Hi,

have successfully used the previous version of the guide to mod my son's (previously virgin) 4.2E Wii, thanks again for that.

Can I just jump into the amended modify process at the WAD Manager step and install the new cIOS's?

Equally, I have 2 NAND backups of my Wii - 1 immediately after the very first install of BootMii and one of the Wii as it is at present. Does this latest version include everything I have done to the Wii up to this point and could therefore be used as a restore point if any of the latest updates should (for whatever reason) fail, or do NAND backups only have a copy of the Wii state at the very base level and not any of the later cIOS installs, etc?

Thanks again.

All replies very much appreciated.
