I am thinking about getting the Mario Kart bundle that was recently introduced.

Will i be able to soft mod it and run Homebrew on this latest model?


Thanks in advance.

Yes. use Modmii (link in my sig). the only limitation you will have is not being able to use DVD disc based anything (game backups or moovies)...but it's minor. USB loading is far superior.

As brausm08 said it will be possible but you won't be able to use burned discs at all and you will need one of the exploitable games to hack your system.

So, i play the games off a flash drive? Iso files, i assume? Can you run more than one game from the flashdrive?
Does Modmii render Wii's drive completely useless?

Are you referring to the Zelda: Twilight Princess hack? I thought that wasn't necessary anymore?

You can convert the games to wbfs files, which are a lot smaller than a normal ISO file. Games are anywhere from a few hundred megabytes (if they are really crappy) to almost 8 gigabytes. It all depends on the content. You can put games on a flash drive, but you won't be able to fit many on it (but yes, you can use multiple games), so a HDD is recommended.

The Twilight hack has been blocked for a few years now. New systems come with 4.3, which requires an exploitable game. Look at ModMii for a list of them.

One more thing is that no Wii since mid-2008 has been able to install bootmii as boot2, which allows you to safely restore a NAND backup. You can still install it as an IOS, but it isn't safe to use that for NAND restoration. You should still make a backup with bootmii though, because you will need it in the event of a full brick.

Thank you very much, JoostinOnline. That was very informative.

 

[Jehuty25]

is there any kind of brick that bootmii/boot2 can't fix? real curious.

Well other than a hardware related one, the only instance I can see is boot2 corruption, but I've never heard of it happening. If you want some basic info on bootmii (you may not need it, IDK), take a look at this post.

Did anyone figure out how to launch GameCube games from HDD at this point?

 

[JoostinOnline]

There is Swiss (do a search) but that won't work with a USB drive, and DIOS MIOS was dropped before it really made much progress. Just stick with your retail discs.

Hi,
I haven't received my Wii yet, but I'm trying to figure it all out now so that I don't need to mess around later.
I know about Modmii, and will follow that, but slightly more advanced:
I'd like to automatically boot into UNEEK+DI and Joyflow (bypassing the UNEEK system menu if I can). Then I'd like to be able to switch to my normal NAND for any games that aren't compatible with UNEEK.

Alternatively, I'd like to do the reverse. Boot the normal NAND to use IOS based loaders, and then switch to UNEEK (and automatically into Joyflow) for any games that aren't compatible with CUSB loader.

How do I do these?

Thanks

Am in the process of modding a wii for a friend. Whats the best way / program to use to create a 40gb partition on his HD in order to put other stuff on it?

IF I were to partition, I would just use windows....it does a fine enough job.

...but the real question is why? Any modern USB loader can read a FAT32 or NTFS format...

Unless you’re going to have other files >4GB, I suggest going 100% FAT32 (wii games don’t count as they’re split to accommodate that).... use FAT32 GUI Formatter for that....Google it or get it from Modmii...

By the way, can i still use services such as Netflix after installing Modmii?

Also, does it matter which external hdd i get?

Yep everything including the Nintendo shopping channel

As for external drives there is this list here: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/USB_Devices_Compatibility_List

EDIT: I figured it out thanks!

 

[Pricky]

just soft modded a mates Black Wii and for some reason it will not run Wii Sports resort from the USB loader. When launching the game it stalls then goes straight back to the the Wii menu.

I modded my own White Wii and it runs, no worries !

Any ideas ?
