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! Format the sd-card!!! (not optional)Delete everything! Download Modpack FilesRequires a standard SD card, 1-2g scandisk is best.
SDHC cards will not workHave 350 free blocks of nand spaceRead the guide at least 3 times.Remove all GC controllers, GC memory cards, USB devices.Don't lose power- Very importantPassword = NOT-A-PIRATEDownload the modpack for the region of your wii, or the region you wish your wii to be when your done. Here are the Apps I have installed and thought they were useful, if you want to install them then just do thisBoot 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! 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. Hi There!I need help. I bought a second hand wii. It came with a few originals and a few copies. But for some reason it showed everything in Japanese!
I read up a bit about it and found I was a proud owner of a NTSC-J Wii. However, ever since I got it I couldn't get into the system menu. It came up with an error screen. There is no HBC on it but it ran DVD-R's so it must be modded. I cannot get my MAC address and I am not connected to the internet. Anyway, in trying to fix the menu, I got hold of Epic Mickey which ran an update. Well, it didnt fix the menu but now none of my discs work.
It comes up with a message in Japanese and a big question mark!Can someone please help! All I want to do is to change the menu to english and play games from an external HDD!
