Hacking Best Way to Mod Any Wii: ModMii for Windows: Official Support Thread

[Miss Panda]

I just wanted to say thank you. For the installer, the guide, and the help you gave me yesterday on the Wii for Idiots thread.

I have a properly working Wii (ie properly modded) for the first time in three years. Sadly I only have five games. So to the Wii Essentials Game List thread I go.

I am a newbie at this kind of thing so i wanted to know if this is the best way to mod my wii and what are the chances that my wii will brick?

 

[XFlak]

as the author of ModMii I'm obliged to inform you my opinion is biased, but yes, I would say this is the best way to mod your Wii

As long as u follow the instructions to the letter, the only risk you face is the risk of power failure during the installation of a couple crucial files... and those file(s) only take 10-30 seconds to install so chances of losing power at the exact wrong moment are very slim... and even if it somehow happens u can recover easily if u were able to have bootmii installed @ boot2, and even if u don't u can recover using an infectus modchip (assuming u made a nand backup already, which ModMii woulda instructed u to do before installing those crucial files I mentioned above)

long story short, 7 year olds have successfully modded Wii's using ModMii (might have been 6 years old, I can't remember right now). And another success story was received by someone over the age of 60. It really doesn't matter how technically competent u are, ModMii allows anyone to unlock their Wii.

Yes you can. You can set the usb loader you use to force Pal50 or Pal60 video mode

They truly went above and beyond to make sure every single accent was displayed properly... which is a lot harder than it sounds.
Great job guys!

Yup, you can play games from any region (doesn't matter if they are legit or pirated either)

Is it really true that no one has ever been bricked from following a Modmii guide? I could imagine that there's always a chance you could run into the AHBPROT bug while installing priiloader ad then, bam, system files are corrupt.

 

[XFlak]

totally true, I've never EVER had a single brick report... and if someone somehow manages to brick using ModMii, it's safe to assume its because they didn't follow the guide properly.

the priiloader installer that ModMii uses doesn't use ahbprot, instead it uses a patched IOS236 to install

thanks step and wasabi...

I found a bug. I ordered a meat lovers pizza and a 6 pack of Bud Light, and it sent me a cheese pizza and some Zimas. WTF?!?

ok i'm about to pull out my hair... i have a previously softmodded wii. 4.2U with boot2v4.
i used modmii 4.5.4 and tried all four possible setups. u/sneek +/- di. i've followed everything to a T. i chose the green background so i could more easily tell if i was in the emulated nand. i try to switch to the fake nand via HBC and the forwarder but it doesn't work. it says it's copying the 4 subfolder from nand1 to the root, then the system resets, but i'm greeted with the original theme wii channels. and pressing 1,-,+ don't brink up any of the s/uneek menus like they should. so although i'm not in an emulated nand, if i load switch2uneek it asks me if i want to switch back to ORIGINAL.

as far as joyflow, i've tried two different forwarders... one freezes at a stack dump error screen. the other shows a joyflow splash screen, then freezes on a black screen. if i try to load joyflow through HBC the screen fades to black, then just brings me back to the HBC.

i've tried two different sd cards and two different hdd's. reformatting them every time. fat32 32kb for the hdd every time.

that the f*** am i not doing?

 

[XFlak]

did u try copying a cert.sys from an original nand.bin to your sys folder of your emunand?

confirm ur emulated nand is working before trying switch2uneek by getting normal sneek setups to work properly

joyflow only works when launched from an emulated nand, it is designed not to load when running real nand, otherwise it will just fail anyways

edit: try extracting one of ur nand dumps to use as your emulated nand and see if that works any better

 

[swaffar]

thanks... trying

 

[swaffar]

works a million. thanks for the quick help. i realize that these questions probably get asked sever times, but 200+ pages is a little much to sort through
thanks

 

[XFlak]

may I ask which of my suggestions worked for u?
