Hi, I'm just about to mod my Wii with ModMii for the first time but the app shows an error at the start of the process: "Get-Disk.vbs not found", but the file is actually in the ModMii temp folder. After I click OK it proceeds to download all the files and place them on SD card and it finishes with "Success". Should I just ignore this?

Did you downloaded the latest ModMii version?

Sure, my system is in Polish so I'll translate:
Wiersz - Line
Znak - Char
Blad - Error: The system cannot find the file specified
Kod - Code
Zrodlo - Source

U can safely ignore that message. It is simply trying to detect the format details of hdd connected to include in a spoiler in your guide to save u the trouble of manually checking following the steps in your guide. The error is harmless and u can ignore it

Edit: I added this to the bottom of the first post, under the known bugs section

False positive, it's not a virus, it's all open source and safe. Most anti-viruses recognize this, and if u upload modmii to virus total you'll see most agree it is safe

Edit: I'm genuinely curious how u expected me to respond, lol. Like did you expect a "whoops u caught me" or something? Lol

Edit2: also this is directly from the website right by the download link "WARNING: A small percentage of antivirus software may flag ModMii as dangerous; these are false-positives. ModMii does NOT contain any viruses.

If for some reason you can't run the ModMii Installer you can download the latest portable zip.
Unzip it anywhere on your PC then just double-click ModMii.exe or ModMiiSkin.exe."

I can assure you that they are false positives. I honestly don't understand why people are super paranoid by this stuff. If they're too unsure, use a virtual machine.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • 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
