Im wondering if someone can point me to the most current way to update my softmod to include Wiiflow 4.2.1 and VC games? I modded my kids Wii probably 5+ years ago, and my youngest is on a retro kick, and Im realizing a ton has changed. Im reading through everything here, and the info is slightly confusing.
So far, I have downloaded ModMii, wiiFlow 4.2.1, d2x-v10-beta52-vwii and d2x-v10-beta53-alt-vwii (from the wiiflow wiki page).
Neek, EmuNand, and everything else is just foreign to me, so Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Install the HBC, install d2x v8 or v10-beta52 as IOS249[56], IOS250[57] and (optionally) IOS251[58]. That's all you need. Most games should work on 56. Some, like Just Dance series and the Call of Duty games need 57. Hardly anything will need 58.

OK, I've got that working, and Wiiflow set up. Is this thread still the best way to set up VC games? Grrr, cant post links yet.
Anyway, it is titled EmuNand and Neek2o Made Easy in the backup loaders sub board?

I am having a problem with Abba - You can Dance.... Tried it on three different Wii's and all three do the same thing. Game starts to load, and all lights on controller go out. Push any button, they all flash blue and will not reconnect. Game gets to the Warning screen, then when it starts to load the game, goes black, and that is it. Tried it with every IOS available in both WiiFlow and USB Loader GX. Even read somewhere to force NTSC video. Tried that too. No go. Three Wii's are a white 4.2U, Black 4.3U and a white 4.3U. HELP!!!

EDIT: Turned out to be a bad dump. When Just Dance 17 played fine, I re-dumped Abba from my personal collection and all is well. :)

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
