Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

[Deleted member 473940]

Got a simple question, how well does games run from USB stick(32GB).

I found cheap ones on ebay which claims this "* High speed Read & Write, maximum to 5-7mb/s".. that sounds quite slow lol.
Will games run fine from that?

Cheers

OK. SO. 1st post. Everyone seems really helpful on these forums so I'm hoping you can help me out.

I modded my 4.3U wii for the first time the other day using the letterbomb exploit. I first went ahead and installed HBC and then installed bootmii as a boot2 (My wii is 1st generation). I backed up my NAND files, copied and pasted them onto my lappy for safe keeping.

1st question - should I also have installed bootmii as an IOS??

OK, then using the complete soft mod guide as reference, I installed the IOS236 installer to re-enable the trucha bug.

After that, I installed Waninkoko's cIOS.
I did these steps: Install IOS 236->into root 38? (i think)->IOS 250

I'm not entirely sure if I even did that cIOS step correctly because it's a little too technical for me-I was just blindly following online guides. I started reading the forums on here and everyone reccommends I just use modmii.

What I want to do is enable my wii to run backup loaders and usbloader with the least amount of problems as possible. Do I need to remove the cIOS tinkering I did? What is my next step? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

bootmii as an IOS no need if you have bootmii as a boot2

next step use modmii (step by step)

What exactly does modmii do?

It seems to me that I already went through the preliminary steps w/ Bootmii, HBC, installing IOS236, installing a cIOS

Will modmii erase over all this progress and start over? All I really want is updated cIOS, a good backup launcher and a good usb loader.

Does modmii have everything I need? I know this seems really noobish, but this is my 1st foray into any type of homebrew. I really kinda just need this spelled out for me.

bootmii as an IOS no need if you have bootmii as a boot2It's still good to have both of them installed, and it's not like it hurts anything. I think that Bootmii as IOS is actually faster at backups (but I haven't timed it, so I can't be sure). Besides, the latest version of hackmii installs it in the background anyway.

Don't feel embarrassed, it's good to ask questions instead of blindly running into this.

ModMii is a PC program that generates a guide and downloads the necessary files for hacking your Wii, based on options you select. Choose "ModMii Wizard + Guide" to begin. Even though you have already hacked your Wii, go ahead and say your Wii is a virgin so everything will be updated. During the process, you will be asked if you want to set up a USB loader - say yes. Make sure you choose Configurable USB Loader. It has the best compatibility and stability. The other options are up to you.

Apologies for what may probably be a stupid question.

The thing is, I haven't updated my Wii's system software in quite a few months and I bought a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles today which requires a system update.

What's the safest way of updating the system software while keeping the Homebrew Channel and various related stuff.

According to Multi-Mod Manager's Wii System Information, the System Menu is v4.3 on IOS80 (Whatever that is)

the minimum u need to do to fix the problem is install priiloader and enable the block updates system menu hacks. However, if ur missing that, ur probably missing other things. I recommend you use ModMii to resoftmod your Wii (which will help u install priiloader and system menu hacks)... follow Joostin's advice in the post above yours

Thanks for the asssist!

Out of curiosity, would it help if I still had the game that I used to do the softmod with originally (which I still do)

Unless you downgraded, then yes.

I've tried to use ModMii but for some weird reason my anti-virus software is claiming that the modmii.exe file is a trojan plus it won't work on 64-bit Windows 7 at all.

It works fine on Windows 7 64-bit. The trojan thing is a false positive. Temporarily disable your AV and install it.

JoostinOnline, I deactivated and reactivated my anti-virus software (AVG) but now it's saying that patchIOS.exe is a Threat!

It's saying that the Threat name is "Trojan horse Dropper.Generic4.THN" and as a result, it's preventing the files from being accessed!

 

[XFlak]

there is nothing malicious about anything modmii does. You can turn off your antivirus when u need to use ModMii. Hopefully the next ModMii update solves this anti-virus problem for good.

Can't you tell it to ignore patchIOS.exe? I promise you it's not a threat. XFlak is still trying to work around these false positives.

I've tried to do that, but it insists on removing access to the files concerned although it doesn't seem to have any problem with the other files being downloaded.

I confess I had no problem when I modded my Wii the first time using ModMii on my Win7 32-bit laptop (although I was using a different AV at the time)

EDIT:I've decided to deactivate it temporarily until all the files are fully downloaded.

XFlak, I want to say "Thanks" for creating a great piece of software like ModMii and I hope that the next version does finally fix the problems with the false positives.

Hi. I'm trying to install a Virtual Console game on my Wii for the first time and I'm using Multi-Mod-Manager. The problem is that when I try to install Paper Mario, it doesn't work for some reason. I chose it for installation and start, but it just says it didn't install. Does anyone know what's wrong?
