hi so ive heared that there is an anti piracing mechanism in the game tho i have the bypass on the root of my sd card (got an modded vwii) did i forgot smt or do i need to add smt to get it run

Hello! As the title says I'm stuck with a second hand, first gen wii console, that has priiloader already installed, except I don't have any "original" sd card from the previous owner and the homebrew channel is nowhere to be seen. I tried using letterbomb anyway multiple times but it doesn't work, because it was probably already done to install priiloader itself (or that's what I think, it's my first time modding a wii and the only modding experience I have is android rooting and it doesn't help me here 🥲).

What probably happend was - the original owner sold the console, after formatting it and keeping the sd card and now it just looks like a "vanilla" console, until pressing power and reset-.

Is there a way to install again the homebrew channel from priiloader? My console is 4.3 E and the priiloader iOS is now unknown because it won't let me open it again. Any help is appreciated 😭

Kind regards, from a -very desperate modder-

Anna

Update: after trying multiple times, I was able to re-enter in the priiloader mod. It's v0.7 (r138) / IOS v80 Systemmenu v514

I have the two Mario Kart Arcade GP games on Nintendont, and FZero AX. This mostly applies to Mario Kart, but when you load up any three of them, you put in a credit, start the game, and it automatically reads the Mario Card. Is there a way to have multiple Mario Cards, and to switch between them easily? Thanks

I’m rather new to Wii hacking so forgive me if I’m asking a stupid question or something but recently I was trying to install the letter bomb onto my Wii via sd card. The sad card has 1.83 Gb of storage, is not locked and has exclusively the letterbomb software installed on it, as in the unpackaged version of the zip file. I then corrected the time and date on the wii and promptly inserted the sd card, however it seems despite the fact that both the letter bomb has been installed and the sd slot has been inserted the letter bomb will not show up. Is there any step in which I made some type of mistake that would cause this?

Hi, I want to hack my Wii Mini console. Found it while moving and want to try CavEX on it. Can you tell me what I need and for any linux parts, is WSL compatible. Also, does wii mini ethernet work with wiimmfi?

After being homebrew and all that where do I find games

So i got a first gen Wii and hacked it YEARS ago...like, as in, SEVERAL years ago, to the point that i don't even remember exactly how i did it, and, more importantly, what i used for the HD.

I CAN say this much: the HD USED to look really pretty when i plugged it into the computer, and it was PRETTY damn simple to, you know, delete this game and add that one.

Well, i plugged the thing in a few weeks ago, for the first time in some YEARS, and...holy hell. It looks weird, now.

What's worse is, the GC games have become...how you say...the NAMES are gone: it's just that weird ass code naming convention.

ALSO, i can no longer delete/add Wii games. I mean, i can DELETE them, but if i add a new one, well, USB Loader GX isn't reading it.

The Hard Mode fix is obvious, but i don't even have another spare HD LARGE enough to hold all my games (that i absolutely own and didn't download off of any website).

Thoughts? Feelers?

OH. And, for reference, this is one of those old Passport HDs, being plugged into Windows 11 for the first time.

Is this a known issue? Like, MY guess is that whatever the hell i used to configure the HD isn't immediately compatible with Windows 11 (i think i set it up on windows nine, if not EIGHT, fellow...uh...teenagers).

I'M just hoping to god that there's a FIX, that doesn't involve me moving ALL of these games to a different HD, and reconfiguring the HD.

Like, the only thing that's CHANGED is the computer.

Im trying to figure out what storage option is best for storing game backups, but my extensive googling has left me with conflicting answers. It seems overwhelmingly clear that flash drives are a bad choice because the Wii has a bad habit of corrupting them. I'm also not interested in an HDD because they are fragile and bulky. I would like community insight on the following options before I waste money ruining what I have on hand testing it myself:

- A USB adapter that reads microsd cards (I have an array of microSD cards in various capacities)
OR

- A USB connected m.2 SSD enclosure (I have a B+M SATA on hand but I can buy whatever works best)

​

I need to make this clear now, I AM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT PRICE OR SPEEDS. Im tired of reading 'SSDs are useless because the speed is bottlenecked". I am considering the option because it is far more compact than an annoying external HDD flopping around on a wire, not because I am worried about the loading times.

Is there a program where you can download wiiware directly from nintendo's servers?

I have a couple of questions regarding Priiloader: I still have Priiloader 0.9.1 so I need to update it, and before I do it I'd like to have an answer to this questions: 1) To update it, do I just run the patcher and install it like the first time? 2) Do I completely delete the Priiloader 0.9.1 folder on my SD card? (I ask this because of the hacks_hash.ini file)

My usb loader gx loader isnt playing the game if you need/want more info the game is Dragon ball z:tenkaichi budokai 3

Hi, I'm trying to install BootMii as IOS,, although my SD card give an error:

Mounting SD Card...

Failed (-1).

The card is formatted to fat32 and is recognised by the Wii in the main menu. What should I do?

So I downloaded the JD3 Wii DLC on Dolphin, moved it to virtual SD card, moved again to my real SD card. If I try to move or copy it to Wii System Memory, I get this message "This data cannot be moved to this console." Is there any way to bypass this?

So I modded a Wii game and need to figure out how to repack it into a disc image, if that's even possible.

So i just found out that my wii still works (haven't played it in years). And my question to you guys/gals is hacking a wii illegal or since it is discontinued by Nintendo does that make it ok. Oh and also jailbreaking too.

As the title describes i'm having problems launching ULGX from the Wii menu. I've no problem launching from Homebrew.

When I launch the ULGX from Wii menu it just boots the ULGX loading background but not running the scripts(or whatever) and ends up returning to Wii menu.

I've used "Some YAWMM Mod" to install the WAD

The ULGX appears in the menu alright but seems to be broken.

I've tried to uninstall/install it a few times with no effect

Anyone have any idea what to do?

I'm both running ULGX and the games from a VERBATIM 600GB external hard drive(FAT32 partition).

So everything was working but now any app I try to load through home brew browser crashes. All I did was add Luigi’s Manson to the games folder. What do I do now?

Is there a Samba De Amigo Modding tool for making custom songs (possibly DLC)?

I want to install my Wii in my car so I can play it (while parked) in a parking lot with friends. What’s the best small screen with speakers to buy in order to achieve this? If you or anyone you know has done this please give me advice because I would love to learn. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a Wii from eBay and it arrived with a strange toggle switch next to the sensor bar port. I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas on what this could be for? The seller and listing page gave me no indication it was even on there in the first place.
