I haven't updated my system in quite a while, but I've still got all the Homebrew goodies on it. What IOSes/cIOSes do I need to get Skyward sword working? I have a WAD Manager.

Alternatively, what app(s), if any, will update this for me?

Thanks.

I have a 4.2-ish modded NTSC-J system that just locked itself away after I stopped playing Zelda Twilight Princess(J) via Configurable USB loader. It's now not accepting any wiimote syncs or GC controllers, yet it boots "properly". I figure a factory reset and starting over from 4.2J would do the job, but I have no controls.

...Help, please?

there are no mean people here, only those that troll the lazy.

i can't use wiishop without update.
Just wanted to know if update will harm the softmod.

You can. Use ModMii to download the latest shop channel and IOS56, then install them with Multi-Mod Manager.

is IOS61 not the latest for the latest shop channel? thats what modmii told me 'would you like to install the shop channel? (this will also download IOS61)' or something similar to that haha

Then you have a very old version of ModMii. You need to use IOS56,

I've got another noob question.

I want to buy a used wii for my younger siblings and softmod it, though I am not into modding and hacking.

As I understood any Wii with firmware

 

[SébastienKober]

AlexanderRonzhyn: Just two days ago, I was a total noob at this. I even asked a stupid question one page back in this thread. I downloaded ModMii, and it solved every single problem I had. A retarded chimp with Alzheimer's could softmod a Wii, even with firmware 4.3, with that gem of a program.
I remember something about older Wiis, brick protection and installing BootMii as boot2 instead of as an IOS, but I'm hazy on the details. If someone with more experience could elaborate...?

 

[AlexanderRonzhyn]

So basically I can buy ANY wii and use ModMii to softmod it without problems?

Yes, however, if the wii was made earlier in the Wii's lifetime (not sure when exactly) then you will be able to do things such as read burnt discs, and install bootmii as boot2 (which makes your Wii nearly unbrickable, you could remove or corrupt every IOS and remove the system menu from the Wii, and still be able to fix it fairly easily)

Quoting from http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/hacking-guide/the-basics

"BootMii works by inserting itself into the Wii's boot process, which is as follows:
BOOT0 -> BOOT1 -> BOOT2 -> System menu
BootMii relies on a bug present in boot1 which allows it to be installed into boot2, meaningit can start up before IOS and the System Menu run. Boot1, while a part of the NAND, has its sig hashes stored in OTP (One Time Programmable) Memory and therefore it can never be updated once the console has been manufactured. Consoles made before mid-2008 have the older boot1 and can have BootMii installed to boot2, while consoles that were produced later on have an updated boot1 that will not allow you to install Bootmii as boot2. With these type of Wii's Bootmii can still function if you have a method of booting into the Homebrew Channel. It's not as brick proof as BootMii as boot2, but its better than have no brick protection at all. "

Now, I know that you can boot into the homebrew channel with Priiloader, but I'm not entirely sure how useful this is. In any case, ModMii generates a custom guide for you based on the information you give it, so there really isn't that much that can go wrong.

Ok. Thank you all. You were really helpful!

noob question. what exactly do we need sneek,uneek,di for? whats the use of an emulated nand?

The only real use for it IMO is if you want more channels then your Wii can hold. It's easier to run everything off of a real NAND.

Check that the filesystem is still in working order.
Use wiimm's wbfs+iso tools for WBFS and your OS' tools for everything else.

I may not be in the right place, but can someone help me, Im now desperate.
Where do I start, can anyone please please help me. I put home brew on my wii and launched some games via neogamma. All was fine until one of the kids put a copied DVD in the wii. Then it stopped working. I updated to V4.1 and all seems ok with some games but with others the screen is all tones of red. You can play the game for ex Zumba fitness but its in shades of red. Can anyone help ???????
