So, I just got everything done and it was seamless. Thanks a million Scott!! I haven’t even used a pc in a while and this was so simple. Follow the steps and you’re set. For those who want to set up your games. Scott told us to make the “wbfs” file on the sd card/flash drive, i however got my games straight wbfs with the ID number and all. Your games should be (wbfs)~New Super Mario Bros [UE2014] (game folder)~UE2014.wbfs (actual game) The next thing is I had a bit of an issue with formatting my micro sd w/ sd adapter to FAT32. All problems of my own doing. Ensure the micro sd card is properly secured in the adapter, ensure the lock on the side of the adapter is slid up and not down, ensure that when you are going to format the sd card it is not open in files, if it is open or opens automatically once inserted close the window then format. That was it. Just did everything in the video in under 30mins.

[@krumbled_cookii7283]

I ended up running into a few issues, but so far I've gotten things figured out here's what I found just in case this helps someone: if you're getting an error screen such as "exception occurred [lots of numbers]', you're likely using a wii controller like I was. turns out, you can only use the default wii remote when working these things. another error I got was when trying to install bootmii, it said "ERROR (-1)", something about my sd card came up. there's a few ways you can try, such as: making sure your sd slider is in the unlock position formatting your sd into fat32, or if neither of the above work, follow a guide for the letterbomb exploit, its another way of opening the hackmii menu as far as I know. bootmii was able to work just fine after I did that :D

[@Aloxite1]

This tutorial is really helpful and was overall very easy to follow. Thank you A couple things that I would like add with the hiccups I faced during the process though: 1) Yes, SDXC cards (SD Cards over 32GB) do work as long as you format them to FAT32 with 32kb or 16kb cluster size (32kb is ideal). You also have to format the partition as Primary, NOT Logical. If you format the partition as Logical BootMii will refuse to load and the disk will blink blue and you have to force shut the Wii down. 2) Since I used a MicroSD to SD card adapter, sometimes the Wii will refuse to read the MicroSD. This was due to me removing the MicroSD and inserting it into a MicroSD to USB adapter and reconnecting it. I think the connections were not working sometimes when reinserting it so if your sd card slot in your PC does not work for some reason, use a full SD card to USB adapter and avoid removing the MicroSD from the SD Card adapter.

[@Pink_kirb]

So say if I buy a SDXC 1T card would it work?

[@Aloxite1]

@@Pink_kirb Theoretically yes if you format it correctly. However since 1TB cards are quite expensive right now, 64-256GB would be the sweet spot, unless you have a bunch of unused spare cards lying around. You can fit most of your game collection into 64 or 128GB already with a bunch of clearance, 256 maybe if you want to get all Wii + Gamecube games?

[@jeroenvandriel1495]

I have the same problem

[@jynx1891]

You have to create a folder for every data in the wbfs folder (you have to name all those folders like the game !) at the end of the games name you need to put the ID with [this] symbols ((square brackets )) inside of the folder with the name of the game you have to put the wbfs file data ex: open up the wbfs folder on your usb stick, you see "Mario Party 8 [RM8P01]" and in this folder you find the file "RM8P01.wbfs" the number is found this way game file and game id google search just rename your files like this and it should work with everygame below 4 GBs all games which are bigger need a manager to send to the usb device

[@saladasSTi]

​@jynx1891 so i just ".wbfs" on every game file? At the end?

Figured it out. You have to use "wii backup manager" it'll create a folder with the game by itself

[@funkyscott47]

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate hearing that! Happy modding :)

I was so stuck. This was incredible and set me straight. Rarely could i find tutorials that actually show moving the files on the SD. You got a like and a sub brother

[@alexosow]

I was referred to you by someone on an online forum that said you had a really good video. I agree this was an excellent tutorial, thanks!!

[@funkyscott47]

that is great to hear, thank you so much :)

[@acupajoe]

So I came across an issue while going through priiloader. When I try to run Bootmii, it says "Bootmii (ios 254) not found" and then it kicks me out. Do you know why that might be happening? I downloaded everything straight from your tutorial, and that's the main issue I"ve been having. Thanks!

At 16:28, USB Loader GX fails to find my SD card. Made sure it was formatted to 32k, FAT32, and even rebuilt the MBR, but USB Loader GX just doesn't want to find my SD card or switch to SD card mode.

[@Logan_The_Engineer]

This tutorial is amazing, thanks a ton for putting this out there.🔥🔥

[@funkyscott47]

you are very welcome :)

[@MatthewSherriff85]

Worked great, thanks. I did this once before when the only way was the twilight princess hack, but there seems to be so many more options and this was definitely one of the simplest methods. Also do you know about the quake port that was available for the Wii homebrew back in the day and if it is still available?

[@Doodle285]

I did all the right things in the video and it shows all the apps on the regular home menu in usb loader gx. I have the external hard drive plugged into the farthest usb port on the right and it only shows my sd card stuff. What should I do?

[@TonyMarroni-o8x]

I learned English from the street. It's not my native language and I understood almost everything. It works for me. Thank you very much for the great instructions.

[@nataweezz]

Hi, everyone! Just wanted to say, ALWAYS START WITH AN ORIGINAL WIIMOTE. NO aftermarket or motion plus remotes/adapters. For me, at least with an aftermarket + motion plus built-in, it was freezing at 'Continue' after installing bootMii as boot2. After a couple of tries turning the Wii off and trying again, it stopped connecting to the internet so I just went ahead and factory reset (freshly unboxed Wii anyways lol). I finally realized it was probably similar to the inability to use motion plus controllers in WAD managing apps, etc, and pulled out my OG wiimote. Thank you for every single video on your channel, Scott! I've 'brewed my 3ds and now my new Wii and updated my old Letterbomb Wii with your dope tutorials!

[@wawiator]

I'm using an aftermarket NYKO remote, and everything worked just fine, maybe it was something specific with the controller you happened to be using?

[@nataweezz]

@wawiator Sweeeeet! Yeah it was probably the fact that it's motion plus (aftermarket motion plus at that lol)

[@T_plays_gamez]

@@nataweezz I use Wii motion plus? Can I still home-brew my Wii?💀

[@adamsgames2538]

Thank you man you explained everything so perfectly
