Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

Does CFG Usbloader need any specific IOS to be installed?

Any of the cios's (222, 223, 224, 249 or 250) should be fine.

Hey modders and moddettes ^^. I have a quick and fairly simple question. Assuming one correctly moddified a wii, is it possible for later on down the line that a wii would not be able to start up USBloader GX because of missing cIOS's. Or did I get back a completely different wii? I mean, can cIOS's randomly uninstall themselves after you moddified a wii or is my neighbor lying to me? Thanks

use a better loader like CFG usbloader
GX doesnt work with latest cios

If someone did an update (online or disc), then it is possible the cios's got removed.

Does updating to 4.2E using this guide also install the latest version of IOS's that came with 4.3E?

the latest guide is great, used it yesterday to softmod my niece's red 4.3 wii via smash stack. took less than 5 mins (not including nand dump). thanks.

if i add other .wad files to sd:/wad/ (i.e. forwarder channels) will they be installed by the automated wad manager as well, or does it read from a list?

It installs all wads inside the specified directory from wm_config.txt (/wad) so you have a little flexibility if needed.

Does this guide work for the Red Nintendo Wii by any chance?

yes, but you will need the game exploit for your region

 

[Miles54321]

Ok, and even if you do everything this guide says perfectly is there a 50/50 or 90/10 chance your wii might still brick or will it only brick if you make a mistake?

Also, how do you deal with games asking you for updates, even if you get that update block thing when you finish guide won't some games ask for updates?

it will brick only if you decide to go off the rails and totally ignore the guide. all the installlation is automated, you just need to choose which app to run at each step and that step is taken care of

priiloader blocks both disc and online updates

So is priiloader part of the guide and will automatically activate when i complete guide or is it something i have to find myself on google

Also, the IOS files, do you need to find them on google yourself or are they part of the guide?

 

[chop]

Have you read the guide?

Load them through neogamma or rip them to a hard drive and play them.

hi all, havnt been on here for a while.

i've got system 3.3u and hbc and everything running, except a few games dont work (new super mario bros, metroid prime triology, maybe some other ones, i havnt tried any recent games).

i just ran an update on my hbc and also added the ios 58 installer and ran that.

i am not sure what version of cIOS i am running, but it might be older. what is a recent and safe version to install? also, do i need to update to 4.2 or 4.3 system menu to get recent features, or is that included with the cIOS upgrade? i.e. netflix streaming etc.

any help is appreciated.

Ok, just follow the entire guide, the update to 4.2 will update you to 4.2, and install all the latest system ios's. Then follow the Modify 4.2 section to modify it, and you will be good to go

Anyone still have the previous 11 October 2010 version of the 42mod.zip?

Been modding several Wii's over the last few weeks, all smooth sailing with the previous version ... the latest -

1) YAWM won't run with USB hard drive connected (Exception DSI ...)

2) Once unplugged, and all update steps completed, still won't run USB Loader GX from USB Hard Drive (sometimes gets to menu but no games run).

3) Prilloader won't boot directly to USB Loader GX

So yeah, looking for the previous 11 October 2010 version of the 42mod.zip?
