Hacking Priiloader and A Patched System Menu?

[ghost085]

Hey guys! Just had a quick question. Last night I re-softmodded my wii with Mauifrog's Softmod Any Wii guide starting at Chapter 2 (since i already have HBC). It was and still is 4.1u. I've used his guide before with no problems but this time I did it I chose to install the wads which create a "patched system menu 4.1". This is stated as being highly recommended so I figured, why not! My issue is that I can't get priiloader to "load". It says that it installed successfully but I cannot get into priiloader settings by holding down the reset button. It's almost like the reset button isn't being recognized. If I power down and restart holding in the reset it would takes me to the MMM manager. So I deleted the bootmii folder and tried again but it acts like I'm not even holding in the reset button. Just goes to the regular start up screen. Does anyone know if their is a fix to this? Do I need to just reinstall priiloader? Do I even need priiloader with this "patched" system menu? I'm hoping someone has experienced this before? Thanks alot!!

The latest beta version doesn't work. Just stick with the last stable version, which is v0.7.

Use ModMii and follow the wizard to help softmod your Wii console.

If you're looking to install priiloader v0.7 (236 MOD), you can download it from page 2.

does your reset button work in the traditional sense (i.e. can you use it to reset your console?). If not, then you can load the magicword.dol to access priiloader to change your settings, but that won't help you if you ever actually brick and need to access priiloader before loading anything else.

Thanks for the response guys! I copied this from Mauifrog's tutorial":
Part 3- Install Priiloader (brick protection, you need this)
You should be in the Homebrew Channel
Launch Priiloader
Priiloader 0.7 Installer will load"

So, it looks like I already have 0.7 installed, correct? If so, then do you have any other ideas? Thanks again!

It should not have anything to do with your installed system menu. See if it loads with magic word. Do a syscheck and see if it is installed. Priiloader works just fine with that menu, not sure what your issue is.

Also, try to remove disc, sd, usb, gc stuff, see if priiloader loads.

Well I extracted all of the contents of the magic word download to the apps folder and I am not seeing anything different on HBC? Did I do this right? I'm not sure how magic word even works..I couldn't find any tutorials on this!

make the following folder on your SD card:
SD:\apps\magicword

then save magicword.dol to that folder, then rename it to boot.dol

then it will appear in the HBC

Thanks alot!! I will give that a try!

Thank you to everyone! I was able to get into the priiloader settings by using magic word!! Still not sure why the reset button is not working but everything else is working flawlessly...thank you!

Did you try booting the wii with usb/sd/disc/gc stuff removed, see if priiloader loads? You really want to be able to load priiloader at boot, it is not very useful if you can't do that.
