well it says that the cIOS installed

try using multi mod manager to manually choose IOS236 to install the WADs in the WAD folder.

applied this guide to a neighbors black wii on 4.2U:

I'm a seasoned modder from all systems from psx 1 to xbox 360 and iphone and atv2g, expert area. please interpret as " not a n00b"

step 2 failed at first with a dsi dump
deleted config file and selected 236 manually and it would dump also
used dop-mii to patch original ios 36 and used YAWM to 36

it installed all but 249 and 250 due to stubs

used dop-mii to remove 249 & 250 stubs and reran YAWM with success

dunno if you can use this to improve for the noobs, but you may need a new tool to batch remove those stubs and or fix the reason the wad manager wouldnt use your 236 on this christmas 2010 purchased black wii

thank you for this tool

I can't duplicate. I missed originally you said you made it use 36 (which won't overwrite stubs, but 236 will)... I tried stubbing ios 222-249, but get no error, everything is successful... If anyone else is getting errors, please post a syscheck, and maybe we can track this down

I've just tried to modify my WII following the instructions listed but also get the dsi dump.
I followed from the top, doing the update to 4.2 followed by modify 4.2 and installed HomeBrew and bootmii.
Continued onto making a nand backup followed by installing a Trucha'd IOS into Slot 236. All OK so far
Then ran YAWM Multimod Batch and it dsi dumped.
Deleted wm_config.txt from the flash card and tried again, manually selecting IOS 236 and SD card when prompted. it dsi dumped again.
Examined flash card, no wm_config.txt file to delete. Still dsi dumps when run.
Installed syscheck 2.01 and ran. Results are as follows,

Where do I go from here? Can I just start from a bootmii nand restore or should I start from up42e again?

Thanks

LiveboxAndy

From the looks of your syscheck, it looks like all the wads installed fine. Just continue on to priiloader. Really wish I could figure out why it is crashing...

The description of the guide says "Up to 4.3, any serial, all wii colors, any region". Now with that said, the guide does work for black wii's. You will need 1 of 3 games ONLY if you are on 4.3.

Hi Erik,

Continued with the install and all appears OK. Games run from flash drive OK. Just need to understand why the USB HDD isn't seen, but thats a minor issue as the flash drive works OK.

Many thanks everyone for all your hard work.

Does Neogamma also run Gamecube backups?
if you have a cMIOS installed & your wii can play dvd backups.
What if I'm playing the game off of my SD/USB?

From what I have understood, it´s not (yet) possible to run GC-games at all from either SD or USB on a softmodded Wii. You could use DVD-backups if you have a 4.2-machine or lower. But that´s it. Otherwise, you are stuck to your original discs.
Feel free to correct me if I´m wrong here, as I also would like to pack away my Zelda & Metal Gear discs once and for all.

I searched and couldnt quite find the answer to my delimma. I followed this guide and succesfully soft modded my wii
smile.gif
I played a few games on a usb drive and all worked well. I then had to go into the wii settings and got the following error message " you tried to access the web address marc:fix/us/eng/index.html which is curretnly unavailable. please make sure the web address is correctly spelled." All i can do at that point is hit the home button to go back to the main menu.

Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? I was on firmware 4.1 something and as part of the soft mod went to version 4.2 but i believe I was in the menu after that update. Any help would be greatly appriacated. Thanks.

quick question, will installing the internet or bbc i player (UK only) channel stop me being able to softmod my wii, like does it update anything or wt, u might not no cus i no u aint gonna softmod urs

Would it be best to do the guide before changing channels for example or will installing channels not do anything to this guide?

P.S: I have Wii version 4.3E

P.S:S Can soft-modded wiis play online?

Sounds like you installed the wrong system menu for your region perhaps?

Try another wad manager. The stubs you have left aren't hurting anything.

Just follow the guide to softmod your wii, and everything should still work, online included.

So I am modding my friends wii following this guide when attempting to install priloader I notice I made a noob mistake thinking his wii was on 4.3 when it is actually on 3.4. So should I just run the file for sub 4.2 then follow the steps again for 4.2/4.3 or will this mess up the wii?
