Hello there. All hacks are applied on the fly at boot time by priiloader so you need to have priiloader in order to hacks to work.Hi,
- If I have set the region free everything parameter, then decided to remove the Priiloader for console, will it still be region free still be present? (are all patchs not related to the presence of priiloader or some are?)
yeah i can look at it but no way to test it . Do you know why it isnt working now by chance??@scooby74029 do you think you might be able to take a look at adding support for vWii + priiloader to mymenuify/thememii?
Hi Scooby, thank you so much for all your hard work. I’d like to ask, when you patch the version of mymenuify that works on vWii to work with vWii priiloader, do you think it would be possible to add motion plus support as well? This way I could get custom Wii menu theme on my vWii. I’m not sure if newer versions already do support it and it’s only this older version that works on vWii, but I thought I’d ask anyways.yeah i can look at it but no way to test it . Do you know why it isnt working now by chance??

First up: vWii support!
Fucking. Finally. It took the team of @GaryOderNichts, @vaguerant, @Ingunar & myself to get it all working, but here we are!
How does it work?
well, for that I would have to explain how priiloader works on a regular wii.
On a regular wii, Priiloader renames the main System menu executable and writes itself under the name of the main executable. this means that when system menu is started, it will start priiloader itself.
However, this isn't good enough for the wiiu & vwii.
On the wiiu the PowerPC doesn't just boot whatever you throw at it. it needs a special, encrypted, binary to boot. now if we rename the system menu executable and replace it with our own, we are fucked. its not an encrypted binary, the PowerPC cpu rejects it.
but how does vwii boot all those wii related contents then, if none of those are encrypted?
Well, when it boots a title it first boots a special, encrypted, NandLoader which sets up the PowerPC cpu and then boots the content it needs to.
But what does this have to do with Priiloader? Gary and I came with this idea that we could maybe copy the nandloader to system menu and let it boot Priiloader, so that system menu's main executable is still an encrypted image.
This means that system menu now has 4 modifications when priiloader is installed :
* main executable is replaced with the nandloader
* priiloader is added to System menu
* System menu main executable is renamed
* System menu TMD is altered to have changes in the content index' so nandloader boots priiloader
Its complex, we know, but its the only way we found to make this possible so early on in the vwii boot process. We are now the second thing that boots on the PowerPC cpu in vwii mode after the wiiu switches modes.
yeah it should work with motion plus now since it is compiled with new devkit .Hi Scooby, thank you so much for all your hard work.

That goes for newer versions of MyMenuify right? The one I’m referring 2 is the only one that works for vWii, which is version 2.2 which has a GUI, but doesn’t support WiiMotionPlus controllers, only regular wiimote. It is an old version of MyMenuify, titled (MyMenuifyOld 2.2) but for some reason is the only version that seems to not cause brick on vWii. What I was mainly asking is if it were be possible to have a new compiled version of MyMenuify that works for vWii and supports motion plus controllers. Or just have the same old version of MyMenuify that works for vWii add motion plus support. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message btw, I really appreciate it!yeah it should work with motion plus now since it is compiled with new devkit .
so thats wierd it has a version of 2.2 because i recently(in feb. i think) only released v2.0. where did you get the version that works from btw?That goes for newer versions of MyMenuify right?

Not for vWii, and YouTube isn't very reliable.OMG, this is great news!!!!
1 month ago I took my wiiu from the attic, ordered a 256gb SDcard to hack my vWii (now that these are already much cheaper than years ago). Yesterday I read that the vwii's online features are still working due to wiimmfi! And today I read that priiloader supports the vwii?! NO WAY!
Can't wait to install when i get home.
Anyone tried this guide? Safe?

Big thanks to everyone involved in this project!
never rely on YouTube videos, they always are outdated and mostly incorrect, or at least "the interpretion" of the content maker.OMG, this is great news!!!!
