To be honest, last game I played on my Wii is a Lost Shadow. So I was out of the loop for a while.
Can you guys help me to update my wii?

Just off the top of my head (untested) I would recommend ModMii and running its Wizard to get a fresh start. It will install the latest IOSes, I'd also follow the release topic to see what other members say and what has been successful.

I been away from updates and whatnot for my Wii as well.

Is this ModMii for virgin Wii's or can it also be used for hacked Wii's as well?

Either or. Assuming you didn't do anything like change your system menu region, the safest thing to do would be to update to 4.3 through the system updater and then use modmii.

I would recommend making a NAND backup just in case shit hits the fan

Well for starters:

My Wii is on 4.1U version
I have priiloader installed
HBC

I think that's pretty much it, I got a few other things for the HBC like neogamma and other stuff.

I have never changed my System menu region, it's always been (U).

okay since you're on 4.1 you might be okay. I assumed you were on an earlier version.

Basically what you're going to want to do is install the IOS's that came with 4.2 and 4.3 (I use DOPMii). You can leave the system menu as is. Get the d2x installer - in slot 249, use 56 as the base. in 248 use 58 as the base. In 247 use 57 as the base.

Download USBLoaderGX, throw it on your SD card. Use Wii Backup Manager to put the SS and Kirby ISOs on a USB drive. Put said USB drive on the bottom USB port of your wii. Launch USBLoaderGX. And play

For SS, you may have issues if you've never played a motion+ game before. If it doesn't load, go under settings and click "load alternate dol" - you'll get a list when you try to start the game. Select "player.dol" and watch the movie. Sometimes the sound glitches up really badly, so mute the TV

All of this is probably described in more detail in one of the guide threads.

If you want, it'd probably be okay to just update to 4.3 and then run Modmii. It'd be like modifying an unmodded 4.3 Wii at that point.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
