ModMii 7.0.0 Released!

[Yuan]

Dammit I just remebered the date >_<

Too early for april fools.

Tell that to Google.

Google map 8 bits is epic. Nice ad =D

 

[WiiUBricker]

I wanted to test ModMii 7.0.0 on my new Mac but I can't find the Mac version Mac is no friend with exe.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

Yeah, hold up. Apparently we had more than just one screw up here. I never got the other pages to go live like I should have.
Failure after failure after failure.

I hope to have this all sorted by tonight, but no promises. Sorry.

 

[Qtis]

Well, I was busy earlier this morning with the wife *giggidy giggidy*

You manly man!

I have to say that ModMii and another app regarding Wii backups are one of the only reasons why I still keep a Windows partition up and running. If this is indeed true, I'll possibly be able to make it to only 1 program and possibly just run it through Parallels or VMWare.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

I just got off the phone with XFlak. We have figured out the issue. There will be a fix being released shortly.

 

[EnigmaBlade]

hope it's not an april fools joke.

And to add in to that, dont send me PM's about any issues. The will go ignored.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

For anyone still having issues, download the file from the direct link http://modmii.zzl.org/ModMii7.0.1.zip and put it in the ModMii/Support folder. Try running the update again. Profit!!

I'll let you know if it backfires. :3

Edit: I c wat u did thar.

 

[h8uthemost]

This is actually very awesome since I'm a Linux user. Of course I don't need my Wii modded right now, but it's nice to know that if I ever have to do it again(or someone elses) this program is available for my OS.

This is much appreciated, XFlak.

 

[luney]

It's asking for a password for the zip lol.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

Yes, the zip file is password protected. Only the installer/updater can open it. Thats why you need to place it in the support fold and run the installer/updater again.

If you're one of the few still having issues then join us in the IRC channel.
Go here, and click "I Agree". http://modmii.zzl.org/support.html

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Working great now, this is an awesome update!

 

[kirbymaster101]

after what happened with black 2 is this also fake or real?

 

[Heran Bago]

I like how you beat Team Fortress 2's linux update to the punch.

 

[Squirps]

Well this is definitely a good thing for Mac and Linux users. .D.

 

[cojiro]

so, how does this work on linux?

I'm assuming that you will eventually have a version available, but just not right now?

Any particular hang ups that you've got now I'd be willing to help test or develop.

Happy April Fools' Day

From Team Your Mom!

Many of you have just been the victims of a harmless ModMii April Fools' prank, codenamed "The Never Ending Update".

Spoiler: Joke even made it to gbatemp's Front Page News

ModMii v7.0.0 and v7.0.1 are a hoax, they do not exist and anything you've read about ModMii in the v7.0.0 and v7.0.1 changelogs are not true. The latest version of ModMii currently is still v6.0.7.

Spoiler: April Fools' ModMii Changelogs

7.0.1 Changelog:

• Corrected an issue that some users were having when updating to ModMii v7.0.0.
  
• Hey Vegeta, what does the internet say about ModMii's download count?
  
• Other minor changes and bugfixes.

7.0.0 Changelog:

• The ModMii user interface was totally rewritten in this update and now not only works on Windows but also on Macs and Linux. Note that when ModMii is being run on a Mac or linux System Menu themes are not supported. Big thanks goes out to DeadlyFoez who played a major role in this update.
  
• Chuck Norris doesn't use ModMii, ModMii uses Chuck Norris.
  
• Other minor changes and bugfixes.

This joke was very elaborate, and I'll expand on all the juicy and funny details...

I first took ModMii6.0.7.zip, and simply renamed it ModMii7.0.0.zip. So ModMii would try to update to v7.0.0, but in actuality it was installing v6.0.7, and users would be prompted to update to v7.0.0 again and again and again. This was totally harmless as users could still use ModMii v6.0.7 like normal by either declining the update or disabling update checks.

Here's a youtube video one ModMii user sent me via email to report the update "bug".

​

And here's another video someone else recording to demonstrate the "bug".

Then to keep things fresh, we did the same thing but with v7.0.1 and also uploaded a text file to the google code page with this path "http://modmii.zzl.org/ModMii7.0.1.zip". If you followed this path, it would download a password protected zip file that DeadlyFoez mentions here:

Ok folks. After screwing around all day and finding a few more issues with the installer, we'll just tell the manual install instructions.

1. Download http://modmii.zzl.org/ModMii7.0.1.zip
2. Extract the .zip file using the password of "977a29e342102ffda821f68089", without the quotes. You will get update.bin from the zip file.
3. Rename update.bin to ModMii.exe
4. Run the executable.
5. Profit!!

You now have the latest windows version of ModMii and it's able to be run as a portable app. If you really want it installed with shortcuts and all then you'll have to wait until XFlaks fixes the installer.

P.S. Don't forget to donate. All those who donate $1USD or more get the functional easter egg.

In the ModMii IRC Channel, DeadlyFoez had people open update.bin in a hex editor and at that point most people noticed "PNG" in the header... this is because that file is an image, in fact, it's this image!

Spoiler: Update.png

If you were then to visit http://modmii.zzl.org/changelog.html, and scroll ALL the way to the bottom you would have seen this spoiler

Once someone figured out it was an April Fools' Joke, we got them to publicly report they got it working and fool others to jump through the same hoops and so on and so on.

After all is said and done, ModMii v7.0.0 and v7.0.1 (really v6.0.7 in disguise) were downloaded over 5,500 times!

Thanks everyone for being such good sports about this harmless April Fools' joke!
