Hacking Can I connect wii with roms to internet

[gabe8273]

So I'm planning to mod my wii, and a local place mods them. They said if you connect to the internet, your mods and stuff will get removed and the console will be restored to its original unmodded version. Is this true?

 

[Purple_Heart]

thats bullshit...but for safety wait till others answer they may now better was long ago i had my modded wii

Save your money, use modmii, do it yourself.

An update can remove some of your hacks, but the modding procedure, when done properly, involves blocking updates (edit: and even if this happens you can always just softmod again)

So yeah, connecting a modded console to the internet is not a problem

 

[banjo2]

They could've been referring to the system offering to update when you run a successful connection test

Connecting a modded Wii to the internet shouldn't delete / remove your mods / homebrew hacks (unless you perform a Wii System Menu update, that DELETES ALL MODS).

Never pay some criminal to mod your Wii. It wasn't easy back when I did it in 2012, but it is relatively easy to do now:

And making sure your Wii has the latest system update (4.3) before modding means never having to worry about downloading a Wii system update. So do that first if you aren't running 4.3.

No only system updates can do that ever since 4.2 and up

Modding a wii is so easy nowadays it would literally take more effort bringing your wii to that store than doing it yourself... what price are they doing it for anyway?

I'd love to mod the wii myself but somehow my family is convinced that if I install the homebrew channel myself, I will brick the wii. The wii has been collecting dust for years since we have the wii u, but at least the store puts other mods on it besides the homebrew channel.

 

[SomeGamer]

the store puts other mods on it besides the homebrew channel.

Not knowing what exactly those other mods are and how they work is only going to lead to problems later on. By modding the Wii yourself you'll know what you modded, and how and why you modded said things. It's a learning experience and if you ever run into problems in the future it'll be much easier for you to describe your setup when asking for help.

I know what they're putting on it. They put emulators on the wii, and I was more or less asking this so I know if I could connect a modded wii to the internet regardless of who mods it.

it depends on how it was modded. If it was modded up to our standards, then connecting it to the internet is fine and you won't be prompted to update.

If the people who are trying to get you to pay them to mod the console are telling you not to connect it to the internet, that may be a sign that they don't really know what they're doing.

Do me a favour. Download modmii from my signature, start modmii classic (the one with the blue screen, not ModMii Skin), then start the main Wizard from the main menu (first item listed), answer the questions, on the final screen enter "g" to generate guide only (or "y" to generate the guide and start downloading). Read your custom guide, it's very easy to follow. Show it to your fam if they still don't trust you, but after seeing this guide and how easy ModMii can make modding your Wii, I hope you'll feel confident to DIY.

edit: oh and many emulators and other apps just for fun can be downloaded using ModMii as well (see modmii classic download page 2)

I am not familiar at all with modmii, if I mod the wii myself I will probably use the letterbomb method with the hackmii installer.

 

[XFlak]

That's not a complete solution. Those by themselves will just allow u to install the HBC and bootmii. Modmii will have you use letterbomb (or various other exploits to choose from, u only need 1) to install the HBC and bootmii, and it will also have u install cIOSs (required to use a USB-loader to launch your games), priiloader, etc.

I don't expect u to know what these are, but if you do what I described in my last message, your custom guide will provide u with not just the steps you should follow, but also fun facts and helpful hints so you learn as you follow your custom guide

ModMii.guthub.io

I'm not going to beg you to use modmii, if u would rather pay for a softmod that can't even get online, that's your choice.

Edit: if u don't use a windows pc, modmii won't work for you, and you can use wii.guide instead

No it doesn't, not if HBC is up to date.

This statement shows you don't have a clue. Don't bring it to the shop and pay someone else, and don't attempt to mod it with any other methods/guides than modmii. If you choose to not follow this advice, you're looking for more trouble down than road than it's all worth.

What's wrong with hackmii?

 

[XFlak]

The hackmii installer is a tool. When you build a house, you need more than a hammer. Modmii will give you all the tools you need.

Well, I'm not exactly planning to change the theme of my home menu or anything like that, I'm just planning to use the emulators and then add ctgp revolution. I downloaded modmii, but some of it confuses me. I filled out the wizard and it asked me what channels I want, but it just listed channels built into the wii (photos, mii channel, etc.)

ModMii is a beast! Give it a chance and see your dreams come true!
