Do update your system first to 4.3J using Multi-Mod Manager or by downloading the WADs from NUS Downloader, then update the rest here: https://wii.guide. Changing the region can brick your system if you're not careful, so always make a backup of your Wii first using BootMii.

  • Download "Multi-Mod Manager": https://gbatemp.net/download/multi-mod-manager.13015/
  • Drag-and-drop the "MMM" directory to the "apps" folder located on the root of your SD card.
  • Launch the HBC then select "Multi-Mod Manager".
  • Navigate to 'Manage System Menu', then select the latest System Menu to install (ensure that its your OWN console's region).

Quick question, the wii didn't had any SD on it, should I just create a new app folder in new SD & move file init?

Yes. Format the SD card using SD Card Formatter or GUIFormat to FAT32 32kb, then create a new folder called "apps" and drag-and-drop the MMM folder in there.

So I updated the console to 4.3 but the homebrew is gone, How do I fix this?
Run "NUS Downloader" then select 'Database' > 'IOS' > 'IOS80' > 'Latest'. Check the 'Pack WAD' option and download. There should be a new folder where your WADs are located.

Was the "apps" folder on the SD card, or has it corrupted? You need to reformat the card, then copy the files again if it has. Check the card using h2testw to see if the capacity returns successfully.

The thing is homebrew was there without an sd, it was already init when I got it, but there was no sd inside the console, maybe I need to do homebrew process again?

What do you mean by this? Was the homebrew stored on another device, such as an USB, and that the SD card didn't override it?

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
