Hacking Best Way to Mod Any Wii: ModMii for Windows: Official Support Thread

[raxadian]

Are you including the actually updating Snes emulator in the goodies to install?

 

[XFlak]

Snes9xgx can be downloaded with modmii, it will always get the latest version from oscwii.org

Is that what you were asking?

Yes, is basically the only emulator for Wii that still gets updates.

Getting worried how long the storage on my Wiis is gonna last the things are over a decade old and even the best HDs start to get problems after a decade. One of my Wii overheats so I stopped using it.

At least is not the problem the Wii Us have that's even worse.

A shame how underpowered the Wii is that even Playstation emulation strains the poor thing but GBA and 16 bit consoles (or lower) tends to work fine.

The GBA port of Alien Hominid is impressive but then again the game has a version for Gamecube so is not like I need a GBA emulator to play it on the Wii.

Most of my Wii time nowadays is playing Nes, Snes, GBA and Virtual Console games. Can't be helped I already played most of the Wii and Gamecube games I like. And Animal Crossing for Gamecube, while one of the best versions, requires the kind of time commitment I can't do anymore.

There is a ton of Kirby stuff you can play in the Wii... maybe I will try that.

Hey Guys. I am really loosing my mind. I got a old Wii. ITS already with s Softmod and in the Micro SD Cards are hundreds of folder ... Its from 2008-2009.

Is there a way, how i can Update everything?
Please Help. Sorry fot beeing stupid.
I dont know how do use modmii

 

[XFlak]

You could softmod the wii again as if it were a virgin, overwriting any existing mods. Just run the main wizard and tell it its a virgin even if untrue.

Alternatively u can run syscheck then drag and drop your syscheck.csv onto modmii.exe and it will tell you what to do to update just what's outdated. https://gbatemp.net/threads/posting-a-system-check.300279/

Then afterwards u can also run modmii's usbloader setup wizard if u want a hand formatting your hdd and downloading usb loaders and game management apps.

Whatever you currently have on your sd could in theory be wiped (except keep your nand.bin and keys.bin if u got those) and u can softmod/update your wii using just the tools modmii provides. However, who knows what u got and if it's important to u. Gamesaves and such might be in your sd:\private folder for example

Remember to clean the Wii insides, more so the fan, and change the termal paste.

Some games like Super Smash Bros. need to be run from USB Disk. you can use the https://gbatemp.net/download/wii-backup-manager.37308/ to split the WBFS file in 4 GB size files.:

 

[roice2000]

But cant i use the splitted 4gb File on the Micro SD Card?

 

[RunningSnakes]

As @impeeza linked, use that program to split your Smash iso/wbfs file and it will work 100% with WiiFlow Lite through SD.

 

[roice2000]

Thank you very much. I will try Run splitted Games.

I have another question.
Can i Run Games directly on the Main menu of the Wii? Like installed wads.
Can they be showed the Main menu (Like short Cuts) without starting WiiFlow before.

Reason is, the Wii will Be Played by a little Kid who dont understand what its doing, If it clicked on some setting by mistake.

 

[RunningSnakes]

I believe you can, although, i have never done this myself. Maybe someone can direct you to a valid link for instructions. @SaulFabre knows how this works, he could possibly help here.

You can build game forwarder channels\WADs using Wii Game Shortcut Creator (formerly known as CRAP), grab it from ModMii Classic's download page 2. Here's a tutorial

Yeah the WiiGSC tool is nice for making Wii channels of Wii games backups loading from USB Loader GX, WiiFlow, etc.
But if you want Wii channels for older retro games (NES, SNES, N64, etc...) loading from homebrew emus, check my tutorial in my signature below.

 

[raxadian]

I recommend using a Virtual NAND to install Wii ware games there, as installing and removing games regularly on a HD that's so old as the Wii has is a bad idea.

You need a forwarder, buy I am not to sure if the forwareder creator to launch wiiflow with parameters still works.

you can setup your Priiloader to launch Wiiflow (throug hiddenchannel or priiloader binary) at startup and your new "system menu" is WiiFloow.

 

[XFlak]

Modmii's usbloader forwarder channel can launch any usbloader with ahbprot access and with parameters from its meta.xml

For priiloader to launch this at startup just use modmii classic to build an advanced forwarder for the installed channel's title ID "IDCL" and it should work perfectly.

Often people use modmii to create a forwarder dol directly to the sd or usb path to the app's boot.dol or boot.elf, but this may not launch with ahbprot. I believe it's possible using one of priiloader's new features but I haven't really looked into it as 1) the aforementioned method still works and 2) makes no difference to apps that reload a cios and 3) not all apps need ahbprot to work anyway

Edit: u can easily extract the boot.dol from a forwarder wad sing customize mii or unpack it with modmii or whatever tool instead of building one and use that with priiloader as well

 

[raxadian]

I have found that Nintendont will run Gamecube games from anywhere and to get my Wii to read Wii games for a usb stick I need to use a Virtual NAND for some reason. I tried in a different Wii and got the same problem.

 

[jrpg_427]

I have a PAL 4.3E console and I'm trying to play NTSC games. I enabled Region Free Everything in Priiloader and then Baten Kaitos Origins (NTSC Gamecube) disc works well. However, Arc Rise Fantasia (NTSC Wii) disc doesn't work. The system menu "sees" the game, but starting the game leads only to a black screen. I tried following this old thread ("Help: Running NTSC games on PAL system using Priiloader" in Digital Kaos forum (sorry, my first post so links not allowed)), because in that thread there is exactly the same issue and someone got Arc Rise Fantasia working on a PAL console using the methods mentioned in the thread.

Using ModMii, I first did the SysCheck and after that I downloaded recommended wads and apps. I also downloaded and installed the IOS236 v5 Mod mentioned in the thread. After installing IOS236 v5 Mod I installed the recommended wads to the Wii. According to the thread this should have helped - but after these steps the screen still just turns black after starting the game. I tried to enable some options in Priiloader (Block Disc Updates, Block Online Updates I enable Auto-Press 'A' at Health Screen) in addition to Region Free Everything but it had no effect.

What should I try next?

Here is the latest SysCheck:

Try launching the disk using a usbloader or neogamma, u may need to tinker with video mode or language options
