that's probably because you didn't update your usb-loader and\or cIOS. Either that or you partitioned your hard drive wrong (ie. not primary\active). Another possibility is that your hard drive is one of those rare cases that is compatible with the Wii if formatted as WBFS but not if formatted as FAT32.
Thanks dude!

Hi, i got a simple question, my cousin have a backup of karaoke glee and she can't play, black screen, her wii is soft modded to play only backup discs (not on HDD) and she have Neogamma on her wii .. she don't know nothing about modding things and all, i did the mod and i want it to be "newb-friendly" to play with her games .. so, do you have an easy solution for this problem ?

Thank You ! :)

PS: she don't have an SD Card in her wii so, she can't play with .dol files i installed directly with .wad so it would be easier to play ..

i tried install ULoader and explain how to change de cIOS to 224 so she would be able to play with her Glee games .. it's not very "newb friendly" but, that's what i found, then, is there any way to play those game more "newb friendly" than that ?

Just bought a new original game: Cars 2. It's saying that I need to make an update... should I or not? Is there a general "rule of thumbs" about updates?

Thanks

Is there a way of accessing the Wii from your PC through the WiFi i.e. could you browse the contents of your Wii (SD card and USB) from your PC and add/remove files etc.

Be kind to me if this is a stupid question.

wiiftp will do the trick.
I think you mean ftpii, but another solution would be to use WiiXplorer for SMB/FTP.

Thanks, ftpwii works, but only the unofficial 0.22 version on 4.3E.

Funny how little I knew about what WiiXplorer can do. Of the two, I would have to say I prefer WiiXplorer.

Thanks to both

thanks for replying, i formatted it to fat32 before i started since thats what the instructions said i should do.
What SM version are you on? What do you mean by "access the SD card"? What method are you trying to use to launch the Hackmii Installer? If it's Bannerbomb, you might want to try a different version.

This is my first time soft modding my wii. I had a wiikey 2 installed before this like in 2009. But now I am reading that if I update it will brick my wii so I am looking for a way to update my wii without bricking it.

I am using 4.1U.

I downloaded modmii and copied the folders to my sd card like the instructions said to but when i click on the sd card button on the bottom left screen on the wii it says loading and then freezes.

That's pretty much what I thought. You shouldn't press the blue SD card symbol, as that will freeze your Wii. You should instead go to Settings > Data Management > Channels > SD card, and that should launch Bannerbomb. You can probably follow the instructions from there. Oh, and my Wii still has a Wiikey 2 installed and it works fine on 4.3E. I don't recommend installing that, however, just follow Modmii's instructions.

Thanks, I'll try that now.

I dont even use my Wii. I bought this Wii for my sister 3 years ago, and I just bought her Dance Dance Revolution and it says it needs an update if she wants to play it. And she's been complaining to me for years to update it so she can play the game and other games. While installing modmii on my computer it says it recommends sm version 4.1U which is the one I am on but if I stay on that version how can I get the Wii to play the newer games?

If you install Priiloader (and I think Modmii should do that by default) you can enable a hack that blocks disc updates. You should be able to play the game that way.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't update if you have priiloader installed (highly recommended) then hold reset button to access it and go into settings and turn system and disk updates to OFF

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
