I've been out of the Wii hacking/homebrew loop for awhile now, so I'm coming here first to see how much I have missed. I just picked up Epic Yarn and want to play it tonight on my SoftModded Wii, but remembered there might be some AP protection or forced updates on the disk. Does anyone know what IOS I need to update to get it working on my Wii?

Running 3.2U. Last game I got played on it was Ghostbusters, which required a few IOS updates to be installed (been so long I don't remember which).

As dumb as this is going to sound, is there a homebrew app that auto downloads and installs those IOSes?

Edit: I actually made a mistake. Last game I played was Monster Hunter Tri. Not sure if that means I dont need to update any IOSes or not; Thought Id mention it.

GeckoOS.

If you put in your disc and start it through GeckoOS it will install the needed IOSes

I think I remember doing that with Ghostbusters. I'll give it a try as I think i have GeckoOS installed. Will need to update most of my homebrew, but that shouldn't be too hard. Thanks all. If GeckoOS doesn't work I'll try pimp my wii(snico1995).

    They could just mean updates? I think they leave it up to the devs to port

    True. But problem about developing software and games for Nintendo Switch 2 would like slower in process.

    Wow that's insane about Switch end support this year 2025. Surprise me. Sad news.

    I'd trust no rumors like that unless Nintendo directly announced it
  • console @ console:
    I think about late 2025 then Nintendo will stop produce old Switch hardware then force to ramp up produce Switch 2 hardware instead. Same like PS4 to PS5 for ramp up produce by Sony.

    Good then the switch 1 will be easy af to hack

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea since they delayed the release of switch2, I'm sure they will delay the end of support date also. And since switch2 basically same OS, and B/C shouldnt be hard for devs to make games for both 1&2.

    Imagine backwards compatibility being digital only

    I doubt it, but could see new switch2 versions require a 1 time online digital ok of sorts, to prevent piracy.

  • console @ console:
    Agreed. I hate digital only console system. If what company kill support off then people can't get digital games back. I never forget and remember what Nintendo did kill off support on Nintendo Wii then Wii U and 2DS/3DS/XL then soon Switch is next turn to drop out support.

    My stupid computer chair is only year old and already won't stay up, keeps going down slowly, tempted to buy a hose clamp and do the DIY mod to it.

  • console @ console:
    When I see any new many digital only console systems in near future then I will quit for good reasons. PC is winner over all video game consoles. I remember what people said gaming computer is master race means any video console systems can't beat PC in many ways. I will always buy gaming computers over and over again due to new hardware upgrade for new games upcoming like that.

    Yes. Vegetables, fruits and bread are more health than junk foods like chips, candies, ice creams.
