Hacking Some must have applications for the Wii and general questions

[Link5084]

Okay, so my friend has a modded Wii with a Wiikey and has the Homebrew Channel installed for it already. I would like him to put the must-have applications for it. The thing is, do I really need Starfall? What other applications besides emulators and DVDX should I put on the Wii? He hasn't updated to 4.0 yet, but what tutorial should I direct him to to make sure that everything works when he updates to 4.0 and nothing broken?

Try MiiWii, it's on these forums and it's by far the best softmod pack available. Starfall just adds extra protection to your Wii, but really, it's best if you combine it with preloader. Though, any of your hacks will be gone if he updates to 4.0.

Hacks? what do you mean? Starfall and MiiWii work with 4.0 right?

most hacks don´t work with 4.0 and starfall only works with 3.2.

Sorry for the double post but is Starfall a necessity? Can you control...

* Region free GC games with video mode patch

* Region free Wii games

* Region free channels

* No mainmenu BGM

* Start rescue-menu when Y is held on 1st GC controller

* Remove rescue-menu diagnostic disc check

* Replace health warning with backmenu

* Skip disc update check

And enable and disable them?

This is what preloader is used for, so htat you can toggle which hacks you want on and off along with a few other things you can do. For example you can turn the stand by mode of so the wii turns straight off with the red light on the power button. And for an easy softmod use miiwii it's by far the easiest to install

Oh yeah BTW, I wouldn't update the wii to 4.0 right yet, Just wait until others find exploits with the new system menu because once you update you will lose preloader and starfull capabilities.

I thought you control it via Homebrew Channel? Where can I get the preloader and how do I use it?
