Once upon a time in the Mii maker, I put a name for the "creator" that I now find embarrassing. Is there a way to remove it so that it doesn't appear in the list of creators anymore?

I don't remember much about the wii, but I think save manager gx might be able to delete it.

hi! i have a quick question, i have a 3.4u wii and want to update it to 4.2,im aware the servers are down and i need to homebrew it to update it, the question is, would i have any issues re-hacking the 4.2 version? or maybe even updating? im kinda stuck on a loop here

pretty sure modmii by @XFlak is all you need. you shouldn't have any issues regardless of firmware.

Depends on the game, but generally these 3: not64, wii64 rice, wii64

So I know if native controls are enabled in nintendont you can't quit out of a game normally and have to unplug your wii or hold down the power button, which can damage an HDD plugged into the back. I am aware there was a workaround developed but so far I've been having trouble getting it working. My question is: if there's just one game I want to play with native controls could I just put that and Nintendont on an sd card and manually turn off the wii? Would it damage the sd card (i assume not) and would it damage the HDD if I'm not actually using it to run the game?

You can't exit to the Homebrew Channel with the button combo?

Yes. Put the GC game on the games folder on your sd card, and when you first run Nintendont click on "SD" instead of "USB". It should show & play the game you have stored on your sd card.

Would it damage the sd card (i assume not) and would it damage the HDD if I'm not actually using it to run the game?

No. What would damage either of them? Nintendont damaging the usb hdd because a game is being loaded from the sd card instead of the hdd? No!

Thanks, I just heard it was bad to directly unplug an HDD without letting it slow down properly and wanted to make sure.

No, i was just replying to your question on your first post above..
As for is it bad or if turning off the Wii abruptly can damage the hdd, as long as you're not just removing the Wii's power plug from the wall socket while the Wii's working, you should be fine.

you can try https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-3ds-mii-edit-tool-edit-your-miis-right-on-your-pc.456607/

 

[impeeza]

Sorry that is only for 3ds files ;( my bad.

 

[godreborn]

you might be able to do that with mii using save game manager gx, but I don't know for sure. it can grab miis from your system, and I think you can delete them or modify them.

 

[impeeza]

You can use SaveManager GX to export the Miis to .MAE files, then use MiiAvatarEditor (https://rc24.xyz/goodies/mii/) to edit the files on your computer, MiiAvatarEditor is a Adobe AIR application, so you need the runtime the latest version is Adobe AIR 33.1.1.533 i found one on https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5059-adobe-air.html you can't now download the file from adobe ;(

I just want to play using my nand saves from a wii to another wii.
How can I transfer my nand saves(using usb loader gx) from the wii nand to a sd?

Can I use this sd from one wii to another?

You can back them with either SaveGame Manager gx. Or through the data management on the Wii's settings, though that wouldn't work for games that have save Anti-Piracy measures.

How can I transfer my nand saves(using usb loader gx) from the wii nand to a sd?

Read above.

Can I use this sd from one wii to another?

For just your saves? or for everything, homebrew apps, games etc.?

you also can transfer Miis from a console to other using the wiimote. on the Mii Channel you can copy from/to a wiimote.
