What does softmodding a wii do? Well the answer to that question is that. You can play backups of games if you lost your original games.(Like I do) You can play N64, SNES and SEGA console games on your wii! With the appropriate emulators.and you can use homebrew applications (There are loads of them ) Then you can also unlock the hidden DVD movie player, if you have a version older than 2010, or if its newer, then you can unlock the USB movie player! Just one simple thing. 'HACKING A WII UNLEASHES ITS TRUE POTENTIAL!' This is a 100% legal!

(Unless you go and download pirated games,even though you don't have the original games.) (So don't do that!) This softmod/hack works for any wii! Old Wii's, New Wii's, VIrgin Wii's, Korean Wii's, Japanese WIi's, Softmodded Wii's, Hardmodded Wii's etc. Password = NOT-A-PIRATE (This is the password for any downloaded files) Softmoding can brick your wii, this is very highly unlikely. Accept this fact or stop now. It works with 4.3u/e/j/k as well! Warning: Never Ever Ever Update Your Wii From Nintendo Here is a video of some of the cool things you can do once you have hacked your wii!

Have 350 free blocks of nand space Remove all GC controllers, GC memory cards, USB devices Don't lose power Format SD-CARD Use a standard SD-Card ( Not an SHDC) If you have issues formatting your SD card, then use this program Part 1: Launch Hackmii Installer: For versions 2.0 - 3.4 (Twilight Hack) Download and extract to sd: -Play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, make a savegame Put your SD card in your Wii and turn it on. Go into Wii Options - Data Management - Save Data - Wii. Find your Zelda save, click on it, click 'Erase', and click Yes. Open the SD card and select the 'Twilight Hack' save that corresponds to your game region. Note: Some people are having problems with the Wii not 'seeing' the save file on the SD card.

If you are experiencing this, try setting the archive bit for the data.bin file - in Windows this can be either be done from the file's properties dialog (right click on it in Windows Explorer and check the box) or from the command line using 'attrib +a '. More info at #wiihelp on Efnet.

Click copy and then yes. Now exit out of the menu. Insert The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game disc and run the game. If you have the USA version of the game, load the 'TwilightHack0' or 'TwilightHack2' version of the game as appropriate (see above). Otherwise, load the only 'Twilight Hack' save game. Once in the game, either walk backwards or talk to the man standing in front of you. If you are using System Menu 3.4, you must immediately put the Twilight Hack to use.

Turning off or running some other channel or game will have the System Menu delete the savegame again, and you'll have to start over. Also, 3.4 must also extract twilight-hack-v0.1-beta2.zip to sd: replace files when asked.Multi-Mod Manager will load -Select Wad Manager -Press A -Press 1, -Press A -Install all Wads -IOS58 and IOS61 will install -Press 'any button' -Press 2- load 'App Manager' -Select hackmiiinstallerv0.8 -Press A Hackmii Installer Loads For versions 3.4 (Hack without game disk) 1. Get your Wii's mac address:The MAC address of the Wii can be found by: From the Wii Channel menu, select 'Wii Settings' (the round button on the bottom-left of the screen with 'Wii' on it) Select 'Internet,' then 'Console Settings.' The MAC address of the Wii console is displayed on the first line.

Format your SD card. Fat32 Panasonic SDFormat preferred. Dont skip this step. Download the HackMii installer You can u se the mac address to build a custom hackmii installer at LetterBomb MAKE SURE YOU SELECT YOUR REGION up top If you get the captcha wrong, it will RESET your region.

This happened to me. If you do, the installer, well, in my case hung the wii. Had to hard boot it. Copy downloaded files to root directory of SD card.

I used windows xp. Put card in wii and start it.

Hit the envelope in the lower right hand corner If you dont see the red message with the bomb, hit the - or + buttons to choose a different date. Click on the big red envelope with the bomb. The hackmii installer launches. Format the sd-card!!! (not optional) Delete everything! Download Modpack Files Requires a standard SD card, 1-2g scandisk is best. SDHC cards will not work Have 350 free blocks of nand space Read the guide at least 3 times.

Remove all GC controllers, GC memory cards, USB devices. Don't lose power- Very important Password = NOT-A-PIRATE Download the modpack for the region of your wii, or the region you wish your wii to be when your done. Be sure to download to right one. Be sure to download the region you want your wii to be. Here are the Apps I have installed and thought they were useful, if you want to install them then just do this Boot your wii to the system menu.

You will see the following channels installed. CFG-USBloader- This is a forwarder, it load the usbloader from your sd card or HD. Backup Dics Channel- This is an autobooting mod of Neogamma loader, it will autoboot discs. Press any button while loading to access the menu. It is a channel and does not use sd/hd Backup HBC- You will see a channel with black water, labeled backup HBC. When you load it, HBC 1.03 is loaded. This is installed as a backup means to run homebrew should you ever need it.

You should not use it, unless you need to. Don't uninstall this wad, title 'MAUI'. Keep it on your wii or save it onto your sd card. You can move it to the far far right of the channel menu or back it up to your pc. You never know, someday you may need it. If you like you can move channels by holding B, then pressing A and dragging them where you wish.

You can do this with the disc channel if you enabled the priiloader hack. If any of the downloads do not work, then download this for all the downloads in one! If your Wii was bought before 2010, then you can use DVD roms to play backups on your Wii But if you have a newer Wii, then you can play backups on USBs because the new Wiis CD reader is different and will not read normal DVD disks. I found that this is better for playing games via USB, than USB Loader: WiiFlow: Download it here: To install wii flow, just go to HBC and then go to WAD manager, and go to install wads, then install the WiiFlow WAD! You can lookup google for how to make a WiiFlow forwarder to make it appear right in your WIi menu, without having to go to HBC. Once you have WiiFlow installed, then you can download Wii backup games from different websites, and then burn them onto your USB sticks, and plug them in and enjoy! (The UK law, which states that you can have only 1 backup copy of every game you own.), you can also play homebrew games, and use homebrew apps.(1 I specially like is Resistor Calculator!) You can play N64, SNES and SEGA roms with downloading emulators and then buying those games for about 5$ each (Or even less) and its 100% legal!

Some websites like this ask you to pay for money to hack your wii and they will provide deatailed info, but you can do it for free! Use this program to convert your USB to a Wii USB type, and install the games on the USB! But remember, once you have converted the USB, it will show that your USB is unrecognizable by the PC, it is only recognizable with the program.you can always format it to be used as a normal USB again! Usually Wii games are 4.2 GB, and most 4GB USBs are 3.7GB, So how I overcame this problem is with using WIi Scrubber What the WiiScrubber does is it basically removes the ' JUNK' that manufacturers fill in to make the game reach the standard space of 4.2 GB. Some games like Wii sports are only 720MB! You can add the game you downloaded into the scrubber, and then scrub it and place the scrubbed ISO on you desktop, or somewhere else, then you can use the Wii USB program to add the scrubbed ISO!

I collectivelly got a lot of info about hacking the Wii from ' WiiHacks.com' I copied some of the instructions from that website because they were straight forward and easy to understand. The main reason why I made this instructable is because when I read the website and tried hacking my Wii 4.3, it was really hard because all the info was on different places and not arranged, and some info was missing, and there were no images, and the info was in very complicated english. So I thought I would make this ible to help others not to suffer the way I did while hacking my wii! Hope you liked it, Enjoy playing Backup games on your Hacked/Softmodded WIi! (Sorry that I don't have many images, because my camera cannot take good pictures of the TV, so there are only a few, but hope they help!).

It doesn't have to be 2 Gb or less, and it doesn't have to be a non-SDHC like everyone says. I've used SDHC 8Gb and so have others and they work fine.

Just make sure it's formatted as fat32 and copy the files (boot.elf, Private folder) to the root of the card and not the 'LetterBomb' folder. Also make sure your Wii is connected to the internet and do not use Wii to update when it asks you to after connecting to the internet. Once you put the SD in your Wii, it's a good idea to restart it and try checking your mailbox again. Try scrolling back several days then forward, past the current date, then back and forth again until you see the letterbomb envelope. I've had to do this also.

Don't give up.

↓ Actual guide below ↓​ Foreword This guide was made as an aid for those experienced in the Wii hacking scene. It does not tell you what each & every program does, just a straight up list of directions.

After Modding Read here for instructions on how to use The Homebrew Channel & play backup games. At this point your almost done. You should be downloading the latest homebrew applications & setting them up on your SD Card so they can be launched via the Homebrew Channel. Is a website that has information on the latest apps. For downloading applications, you should: 1 Download to get many popular apps & keep them up to date, but this is an online only application 2 For those without internet, check out this & get the latest emulators, media players, & utilities.

After downloading Wii homebrew applications, you should get a file with the extension.dol. A.png &.xml could be included too. They provide information about the application. This file is an application that can be executed through the Homebrew Channel. This boot.dol goes in a custom named folder in the folder on the root of your SD Card. For HBC to read your SD correctly, your card must be structured SD:apps/application name/boot.dol Here is an example of the folder on my SD Card In every folder, there is a boot.dol, icon.png, & meta.xml.

For playing your disc backups, you should either: 1 Download & set it up on your SD card. 2 Download & set it up on your SD card. 3 Download for playing games directly through the disc channel. If you have a very new Wii & it fails to run DVD backups, you may have a drive with the new D3-2 chipset. They are incapable of reading dvd's of any sort. It can still pla games via USB loaders with a hard drive or external USB DVD Drive.

Anyone else I'm too stoned to remember! Please leave any thoughts/questions/concerns/comments/kudos/insults!! Click to expand.Yea you could just make it like this: Run Trucha Bug Restorer Choose IOS15 and press A. (Important) Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.

Choose IOS36 menu. In there use these settings: Install IOS to slot ( 36) Hash check (trucha) YES ESIdentity YES Nand Permissions YES Then press A on install patched IOS36, let it do it's thing and exit when it's done. Open Trucha Bug Restorer Choose IOS 36 and press A Wait till it says Press 1 then press it Then Choose restore IOS15. Let it do it's thing, exit when done. Open CIOSrev14 installer Choose IOS 36 and then WAD install and press A. Open Wad Manager When it opens choose use IOS249 (it is probably already set to that) Press A to open from SD Install IOS60-64-v6174.wad and restart.

Retstart then install System Menu-NUS-v449.wad and exit. Edit: Also since some people may eventually pretty much ONLY read this guide and nothing else about hacking a Wii. In your section on CIOSCORP you may want to put a note like: Note: CIOSCORP installs over every official IOS on your system and as such, is one of the more dangerous applications to deal with if you do not know anything about it. If you want to remove CIOSCORP at any point after installing it, you need to install all of the official IOS's OVER the CIOSCORP IOS's. DO NOT UNINSTALL ANY CIOSCORP WAD'S.

So i should -move the wad manager steps after tbr -change patching IOS249 to IOS36 with tbr.change cios installer to use IOS36 instead. Yea you could just make it like this: Run Trucha Bug Restorer Choose IOS15 and press A. (Important) Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.

Choose IOS36 menu. In there use these settings: Install IOS to slot ( 36) Hash check (trucha) YES ESIdentity YES Nand Permissions YES Then press A on install patched IOS36, let it do it's thing and exit when it's done. Open Trucha Bug Restorer Choose IOS 36 and press A Wait till it says Press 1 then press it Then Choose restore IOS15. Let it do it's thing, exit when done. Open CIOSrev14 installer Choose IOS 36 and then WAD install and press A. Open Wad Manager When it opens choose use IOS249 (it is probably already set to that) Press A to open from SD Install IOS60-64-v6174.wad and restart.

Retstart then install System Menu-NUS-v449.wad and exit. Edit: Also since some people may eventually pretty much ONLY read this guide and nothing else about hacking a Wii.

Ios60 V6174 Wad Slot 70 80 90

If you want to remove CIOSCORP at any point after installing it, you need to install all of the official IOS's OVER the CIOSCORP IOS's. DO NOT UNINSTALL ANY CIOSCORP WAD'S. I revised it sir.

QUOTE(odja @ Aug 4 2009, 07:47 PM). Click to expand.Actually you could include using dop-IOS to install the most recent IOS60 with the sig hash check. I think you can even just replace the wad installation of that IOS before the system menu with using dop-IOS instead. Just at least do it before installing preloader if you don't want to replace that step.

I'm not sure how it works offline though.I think you may need to have the IOS60 on your sd card not packed to a wad or something. Not positive on that though. By using dop-IOS to install it with the sig hash check, you will also be able to play installed vc/wiiware wads from the sd card menu. Without patching that in as it stands, the sd card menu can only be used for official legit channels.
