How did you comment this before the video was uploaded, 16 hours ago lol.

[@BALtimore2001]

I have a feeling that the Wii Mini will become a rare and valuable console in the years to come.

[@jeremylugodas]

finally, a step by step guide for the wii mini. i know what i’m doing after lunch

[@blainelocklair]

Awesome! So glad it will be helpful. If there's one place that can get frustrating in the process, it's the Bluetooth connection between the PC/Lunux and the Wii Mini. Be ready to attempt a handful of times to get it going. Don't get frustrated and bail, just keep trying it. It'll work after a few tries. :)

[@jeremylugodas]

@@blainelocklair thanks for the advice. i’ll be sure to try it numerous times

[@nicholaslong8706]

How, in my 30 years of life, did I never hear about the Wii Mini?!

[@Woodwerker]

You were not paying attention?

[@C4rkus]

Yeah I only found out about not too long ago, they can be a bit expensive to get

[@MikeAruba69]

I don't blame you. It came out around the time the Wii U was released. Nintendo didn't try promoting it that much either! The Wii Mini was a cheaper and inferior version of the Wii. It had no internet access, WiFi, online multiplayer, and couldn't play GameCube discs as well.

[@jessragan6714]

You were lucky. It's a stripped down version of an already stripped down game system.

[@blainelocklair]

I hadn't either, and it's my first! Just so happened that my local retro game store got this one in recently. I never looked for one before because it needed a complex hardmod to get it going.

[@RubyWitchcraft]

I don't even own a Wii Mini, I watched the whole thing anyways, amazing video as always Blaine!

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! So glad you did. :)

[@TheAtariCreep]

So rad. Always liked the look of these but never had a need for another Wii.

[@blainelocklair]

They're interesting systems. On the one hand, I dig the push button door load system for the discs. On the other, no GameCube, no internet, no SD card, no component. Ouch!

[@prudiczify]

The command "sudo apt update" is command for package list software sources refresh only. This command doesn't upgrade your Ubuntu system in any way.

[@blainelocklair]

Noted, and good info. Maybe others will find it easier to get Bluetooth working on their PC than I did.

[@boredstudent]

I love how the Nintendo Wii Mini was released a year after the Nintendo Wii U was released.

[@blainelocklair]

Ah, the poor Wii U. Slow sales and a short lifespan. Shows just how well the Wii was received over such a long period of time.

[@Corne325]

Haha lol I never heard about the wii mini in my entire life😂 enjoyed the video!

[@blainelocklair]

This one is my first! I'd never even seen one until my local retro game store got one in stock recently. Worked out well that a softwood came around that same time.

[@rmpc1375]

your videos are the best in this plateforme .... keep it up thank you

[@jigzyonline]

Ahh the Wii mini

[@Fosymer]

Just fyi "sudo apt update" does NOT update the system. it tells ubuntu to look for updates, not apply them. you must also run "sudo apt upgrade " without quotes to update from terminal

[@blainelocklair]

Good info. Thank you for sharing!

[@DerDolce]

Thanks for the Video!!

[@blainelocklair]

You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed it. ;)

[@boi._.7018]

After i shut down my computer i can't open Linux

[@xaxions]

Samee

[@whoamieyo]

wish u made a kindle version

[@blainelocklair]

Well, the Wii Hacks Guide site is a strong resource for following along step by step. Definitely recommend.

[@chaosqrow634]

We need a Blaine Locklair Discord

[@blainelocklair]

Thanks! Always looking for ways to help the mod scene. I do have a website at www.blainelocklair.com that has some written guides based around mods for popular consoles.

[@3ZIO87]

Man i love your Channel so much ❣️😍 you are brother a HIDDEN GEM 💎 in KZbin ... Keep it up

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! I sure will. :)

[@ishicoatlnaemarestrangelou9435]

This is precious

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! :)

[@Oozer_]

For some reason I have a Wii mini, I dont know why? I dont know how? But here I am watching how to mod it

[@CELESTIALMONGAMER4745]

Nice videos, really helps out. I just want to know, how do you update games/ add dlc on modded nintendo 2ds. As well as how to go multiplayer on the modded 2ds with the nintendo restrictions occurring.

[@Woodwerker]

Pretty cool!

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! :)

[@flightofapaullo72]

Awesome!

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! :)

[@DasALAL]

When I launch Ubuntu everything works but for some reason when it shows waiting to accept and nothing works the Bluetooth in the settings is also turned off

[@justajeffyes]

Yes

[@blainelocklair]

Thanks! :)

[@Gjadgamer]

When backing my vwii it told me to press + on wii remote or A on gamecube controller

[@kellyjr0918]

Its so weird that this thing cant connect to the internet

[@blainelocklair]

I know, right? This is actually my first Wii Mini ever. No internet access, no SD card slot, and no component video out. When the Big N made this thing, they took the concept of cost cutting to a new level.

[@JohnJones-cz2nl]

is the steps for this any different for the original wii my wii has the mail brick

[@sedative87]

Thank you for this i tried it many times but my screen keeps on saying "trying to init USB device" "trying to mount USB device" and "couldn't mount USB device". I followed all the steps yet on final step its nothing

[@blainelocklair]

Hmm. Have you tried a different USB drive? If there's one thing about the Wii, it's "fickle" about the USB drives it will accept. Hard to believe these days, but the Wii platform will soon be two decades old. How the time flies.

[@jord-el4996]

Nice

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! :)

[@eonsvenfaustino9721]

it freeze when you go to usb loader gx..i do this 3 years ago...i think its bec of cios

[@verydifferent9592]

Does Linux take over your computer from Microsoft

[@Stereofreak2000]

Do I need to follow this guide if I have a wii family edition? The one without the gamecube ports? I can’t get modmii to show the letterbomb

[@Josh-Urameshi]

no the family edition is the exact same as the normal Wii, you just can’t play/ use GameCube games or controllers

[@arien5410]

Big fan . I had a issue in ps3 I download a game in my fat32 usb but when opening multimam the game does not show on the xmb menu in games section . but it does show up in the hdd if copied from my usb through multiman file manager what to do please tell

[@sergioflores-crespo5926]

can u install usbloadergx forwarder? or any other wads?

[@HappyAvocado964]

Ma questo comando è difficile

[@pemigama]

Meeeen i gave my old mini to a friend because i knew it wasnt possible to hack it (Like 2 months ago)

[@blainelocklair]

Giving a gift to a friend > Hacking a console. :)

[@Oozer_]

Can I install riivolution on Wii mini?

[@JayGaines5150]

Does this work using Linux Mint?

[@grantschilb8019]

What he used for the bluetooth portion was basic sh scripts. Those should theoretically work on any Linux. Plus, Linux Mint uses Ubuntu, so everything he did in terminal (including the 'sudo apt update' should be the same process in your case). Hope that helps!

[@blainelocklair]

Yeah, it should be fine. That code from the guide is pretty much applicable across multiple distros of Linux. Go for it!

[@rosariocascone]

Sorry but i have a question, the wii mini has a 512 mb internal memory, is there any way to save gamedata on the same usb i use for usbloader? Something like a virtual memory card

[@blainelocklair]

I think apps like USB Loader GX do this as long as you launch the games from within the app.

[@rosariocascone]

Thank you very much for the answer!

[@skep2139]

can i use this on a virtual machine

[@blainelocklair]

Not sure. I haven't tried it that way. I only have a limited working knowledge of Linux running on a VM. My best "guess" is that you can, so long as you can get your Bluetooth adapter recognized by the Linux bistro running in the VM.

[@ruebenhernandez8016]

How would you go from Linux back to Windows?

[@sythical3513]

do you still need help?

[@ruebenhernandez8016]

@@sythical3513Nah, I figured it out already.

[@CatOnVenus183]

you take out your Linux drive and restart the computer

[@zVexuss]

To run Ubuntu, can I use a virtual machine?

[@Leon-wz5qh]

The Guide says that using a virtual machine also works as long as the machine is or replicates a linux machine, anything will work

[@daviddominguez1157]

Can any controller be connected to the Wii mini? ps4, pc, etc?

[@sythical3513]

no its a nintendo console

[@daviddominguez1157]

@@sythical3513 yes, but hacked.

[@CatOnVenus183]

@@daviddominguez1157 No, I don't think this works. They have different Bluetooth standards and different input methods..You'd either need an adapter or perhaps some software level mod may exist.

[@Julia-me3og]

can you please make an tutorial for jailbreak nintendo ds on mobile

[@blainelocklair]

Well, if you're indeed referring to the "DS" handheld, it doesn't actually get a jailbreak. There are flashcarts that will let you launch your game backups right from that single cart instead. They work very well and are super cheap to buy.

[@Julia-me3og]
