thanks for telling the solution, it can help other users

 

[skga]

is there a working reliable mirror up right now?
Chrome and Firefox both give phishing warning when trying to visit modmii.comuf.com

The original site seems to be down.

Hello, I want to update the System Menu of a very old wii (3.4U, already softmodded) using ModMii. I want to do this to be able to use SHDC cards for nand emulation. ModMii recommends updating to System Menu 4.1U. After following the wizard I end up with 2 wad files:
- IOS60v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP]).wad, and
- SystemMenu_4.1U_v449.wad.

I understand that if I don't install IOS 60 before installing System Menu 4.1 I will brick my wii. However, I can also download a regular IOS60-64-v6174.wad, which is confusing...:

1. Which of the IOS 60 wads should I install? What is the meaning of "FS-ES-NP-VP-DIP"?
2. How many free blocks do I need before the update?
3. After updating, will the virtual console games I have installed be deleted? Will I lose any nand free space?
4. Will I lose any of the system channels (Mii channel, photo, shopping channel, netflix, usbloader gx forwarder..)? If yes, can I install them later (e.g. Mii channel)?
5. I already have the latest shopping channel (v21) installed with IOS62. Will I still be able to use it? Do I need to install IOS 61 too?
6. Do I need to install anything else (i.e. install or update any other IOS)? It seems most are out of date, does it matter? I'm including the syscheck of this wii just in case.

Hello. I wanted to update o wii of a friend with modmii (6.3.6). Have made a proper syscheck (that ive downloaded with the modmii today) on wii, and when I load the .cvs for modmii analyze, modmii do nothing: Its stay at a full blue screen, and then returns asking me to load the log I just loaded. I think its not suposed to do this.

 

[chris.arney]

I've got a Wii running 4.3U. I had modded it a couple years ago, but hadn't done much with it. I couldn't remember what exploit I used, etc, and saw that modmii would handle everything. I went through, and selected the defaults for everything. I've installed the HBC, patched IOS236 (using IOS236 Installer method A), PriiLoader, and WADs. Somewhere during this process, the Wiimote's power button doesn't bring up the menu like it's supposed to. If I press and hold the button, the Wii powers down, so I know the button is electrically and mechanically working. I can't bring up the HBC menu that has the version number. I searched through this thread and didn't find anything. Any ideas how to fix this?

Maybe just resync controller as controller one? http://techforums.nintendo.com/thread/4973
You can also try delete data of synchronized wiimotes, and resync your wiimotes. You trying, I guess, turn the wii ON, and I understood that its only turn your wii OFF, is it?

 

[chris.arney]

Everything about the remote works. All of the buttons work, except to bring up that one menu. I tried 2 different wiimotes. Tapping the power button does nothing. Holding the power button turns the Wii off. I tried syncing again, because it doesn't hurt, but it still won't react to the power button. Is that a feature that can be enabled/disabled using modmii?

Additionally, I configured modmii for a FAT32 USB drive, and my "COPY_TO_USB" folder is empty. I read that was only something that happened if you selected NTFS as your formatted drive.

 

[tswntk]

Am I missing something?
To bring up the Home menu, you press the Home button between the the "-" and "+" button
the power button always turn on/off the console.

 

[chris.arney]

No. I'm just up too late and not thinking straight.

I'm having the same issue. Tried NTFS and FAT32 both and my "COPY_TO_USB" folder remains empty. I'm going to try and reinstall everything and see if it works (edit: it didn't).

It's also possible I have no idea what I'm doing and COPY_TO_USB is supposed to be empty.

edit: also also possible i've waited too long to get into wiibrew and the thread is dead

final edit: stuck the usb in the back and launched the usb loader on homebrew channel and everything worked just fine. nothing needed to be in the "copy_to_usb" folder after all.

I want to use mod mii to mount an Emunand, but I don't want to create a NAND, I have my own dumped already, can I do this? Or do I need to follow the softmod guide extensive tutorial on compiling?

That aside, the latest version is not downloading some things, like mymenufy, VBA and SNES9x wii versions.

Also I hope that by picking the rev 96 I am not making a huge mistake.

 

[Cyan]

you can use your own dump.
I even recommend it, it's faster and you keep all your settings (wiimote synch, miis, saves, etc.)

just generate the neek files to put on sd or usb.
verify in the option that it will generate the "neek2o" ones.

r96 is the correct, and latest, neek2o version for Wii.

I don't know if modmii is downloading all files from googlecode, or some on wiibrew, but today wiibrew servers are all offline so it may be why it's not finding emulators.
don't worry, wiibrew server always comes back after few hours/days.

I kinda need some help right now....

For some reason, the hackmii installler is stuck on the scam notice.
I tried following the hackmii solution earlier cuz I kept getting the "no vulnerable ios".

Not sure if this is important, but when I tried installing the wads according to the guide, ios58-64-v1676 constantly fails to be installed.

Any clues?

 

[Cyan]

if it doesn't find any vulnerable IOS, it's probably because you already replaced them (probably using PimpMyWii ?)
if you already tempered with your IOS, you already have the homebrew channel installed?

We need more information on your current state.
nobody knows what you did in the past, what you have currently, and what you are using.

This wii is a hand me down from my cousins.
From how it looks, it seems to be a region changed korean wii to 4.1U.
There is absolutely no Homebrew channel installed into the system.

Not sure if this means that it was already modded prior, but whenever a gamecube game is started, the screen would turn green for about a second, then resume the game.

 

[Cyan]

ah, it's a korean console.
Sorry, I'm not very good with region changed korean consoles. I never had to help users with them, and I wouldn't want to tell you bad advices. it could cause issue or brick if I don't tell you the good info.

in modmii there's no option to tell that you don't have any vulnerable IOS? or that your console is a korean changed to us?

Nnnnnnnnnnope.
None at all.

 

[Clutz450]

So I forgot to compile the latest version of neek2o through ModMii last night. Is it true that now that it's the new year I will no longer be able to do that anymore? Any chance that ModMii will be updated to allow it to be compiled again through it? Otherwise I guess I'll have to figure out how to compile it the regular way.

 

[Brawl345]

@Clutz450 Google Code will close on January 25th, so it will work until this day. Maybe @XFlak could host the SNEEK files himself?

Thanks for the reply. I was told googlecode was closing on January 1st. Not the 25th. But I tried ModMii anyways and I was able to compile neek2o. So at least I have that and I will keep it safe somewhere in case I need it again. At least until a new revision comes out. Lol.
