Amazing video I just pulled my Nintendo Wii out the basement and I’m going to mod it tonight. Thank you for the tutorial and information.

I love fully modded retro consoles - feels like getting a warm hug from technology

Great video, after modding my Vita a year ago im finally ready to mod my wii... trying to decide how much memory i need

[@WindowsXP2600]

32 gigs

[@jdbott12]

I use a 32 gigs SD card to mod my wii and get all the apps, and a 1TB external hard drive usb 3.0 for all my wii+gamecube games (on usb loader gx)

[@mannylocz2363]

@user-292iejdh3i eventually I'll do that, right now i have an SD card with 128GB and I think I have about 15GBs free

I have 2 questions? 1: can you use a usb drive instead of a memory card? 2: do you have to be connected to the Internet? Thank you and have a great day!

[@Anonymous-dn7uf]

I used the first method and i found out the wii remote with the wii motion plus on the inside doesnt work when it comes to the press one page. I had to order basic sryle wii remotes as I didnt have the base model console, I have one of the blue Wiis )which iIater found out was also a limited edition console! ). Is there any fix for this for the future if i want to mod other wiis or do i always have to have a remote without the wii motion plus?

[@aceofspades11799]

did the first method and the homebrew app just stays on the bubble screen, what should i do

[@pntgaming21]

So. I got the letterbomb envelope to pop up but when i went to open it my wii has froze, did i do something wrong?

You use the wrong region for the download 4.3u is for uk 4.3E is for us

Do you need WiFi on the Wii? Because mine isn’t connecting

[@HamzaIsSooDamnCoolYaar]

Have u tried Ethernet cable?

[@FilmTrekk]

You can only use a 2.4 connection.

[@Ready4ManiaProductionsInc.]

Will either of these methods work if A. a usb drive is used instead, or B. The console cannot connect to the internet?

[@Travagast]

Can it be a huge SD card? Like a 1TB?

no just 2 or 4 gb, yeah the wii is pretty much junk ...

MY MICROSD IS 128GB STORAGE. obviosly i cant format to FAT32. is it ok if i leave it as EXFAT format? Edit: So turns out i was wrong and you can in fact format any sd card. Using the software in the description of the video was so smooth and easy. My antivirus did blocked the downloads and the running of the program so I did risked it by turning my antivirus off but it all seems clean so far.

a bit late but be careful formatting a modded wii! it's better to just delete what you dont need and remod

[@sarahmckernan9642]

Hi! Thanks for the video! From the looks of it, the first method for install (not the modmii) seems quicker..? Both end up with the same result? You probably answered that but my ADD brain may have missed it lol

[@jakobxr]

Dude this has to be the most clear and concise tutorial I’ve ever followed

[@xJoeyScoops]

I looked through your vids and saw you havent explained how to set up the usb loader. I wish you would have done it here.

[@hberrysc3517]

My homebrewed Wii all the sudden decided to stop working today. I pushed the power button and it turned green, but that was it. No display or audio came through, the disc drive didn’t even try to read the disc and never turned on, and the Wiimote can’t even connect. I have priiloader installed, but I can’t even load THAT even with the power button/reset button method. It was working perfectly last night. The only thing I installed yesterday was CTGP, which had been sitting on my SD card for quite a while. There was an hour worth of updates that had to install, but I’ve never had trouble with CTGP at all on my other Wii. I’ve tried switching different cords/TVs/Power Cords, nothing is helping. Any help would be appreciated. Hoping this isn’t a permanent brick and can be fixed somehow.

[@R-youdamantendo-R]

Is the older method recommended or the newer method?
