The Beginner's Guide to Wii Homebrewing/Softmodding (2020 Tutorial)

[@MichaelMJD]

*READ FOR CORRECTIONS* str2hax’s DNS settings have changed. Use 18.188.135.9 for both the Primary and Secondary DNS. RiiConnect24's DNS settings have changed. Use 167.86.108.126 for the Primary DNS and 1.1.1.1 for the Secondary DNS. The Priiloader archive had been updated and the file structure will look a bit different. The archive now contains a "priiloader" folder, which is meant to go inside of the "apps" folder on your SD card.

should you create an apps folder now or what can i do?

[@wefollowthetown74]

Cheers for this! A tip for anyone new to this - the new Windows update has made it so that SD/USB drives are automatically converted to exFAT files. Homebrew doesn't take exFAT, so use an older computer when downloading files.

This is false. Windows does not turn drives into exfat files.

I think it's noteworthy that if you have a GameCube controller connected, then you can use the D-Pad and A button to navigate the BootMii menu instead of the power and reset buttons on the Wii itself.

The only wiimote I knew the location of was so badly corroded that I couldn’t navigate the menu with it haha so I’m so glad you mentioned that. It’s possible to navigate many menus with the GameCube controller in fact.

About time somebody made an updated tutorial for how to do this. There already are some out there but many are outdated and/or assume you already know how to do some things so aren't beginner-friendly. I already have my Wii modded but I'll show this to friends if they ask me how to do it.

Hey could you help me out: I did everything he did but my Homebrew only shows the screen with the bubbles and not the different menus.

[@hananezumi]

@@C0LOGN3KOBRA Whenever I had that happen it was usually because my Wii was not reading the SD card correctly. But there could be lots of reasons so I can't be sure why it is that way for you. If you have another SD card on hand it couldn't hurt to copy the files to it and see if it works. Make sure it's formatted to FAT32, also, SD cards that are higher capacity than 32gb can cause problem sometimes. You could also try using a USB flash drive instead of SD card or vice versa.

Thanks for taking the effort to explain everything properly. I picked up a working Wii for no cost last week and I am going to try this over the next few days. I’ve got some experience with emulators and roms so know that side of things I just need this to walk through the home brewing. If I go for it I’ll update my results here afterwards for future reference. Can’t wait to play zelda

[@raserapps8230]

update - I followed this and got things working, although I had to use the updated DNS in the top pinned comments - I tried the first set and it worked fine, I have homebrew and the packages installed, and did the brick security backup. I now also have a secret hack menu like what a phone with developer options would open up. If my console gets bricked for any reason and it wont turn on properly or whatever I can hold power and reset to open a cool mod menu and run everything including my back up files from there so if the worst happened I could restore everything. the only thing I've experienced when in homebrew and the other installed apps within, every so often the console will freeze and I have to restart it - it's happened about 3 times in a good few hours of messing around and for all I know it could be my old console playing up or a setting I need to look at. Also the one package - the USB loader needs an update when it gets installed, when I see that program in the Homebrew browser it has a ? symbol next to it and when clicked it prompts me to update. It crashed when I tried so I will maybe reinstall that package tomorrow and re-do it. I managed to already get some cool games from the homebrew browser, some old classics like duck hunt and the old WIndows XP space pinball so I'm really happy. And I can install a multitude of stuff from the same browser app which is like a marketplace for cool utilities and software. This has been a really cool and interesting project and made even more enjoyable by a clear and intuitive guide throughout every step so Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this and update the changes too. I might do a later update if I smooth out the little wrinkles I am experiencing, but it worked and everything that was shown was available and accessible. Thanks :)

[@mae2759]

Some advice for anyone that gets an error writing bootmii to their SD card at 8:18: I formatted my SD card with FAT32 in windows using quick format, but I didn't set the allocation correctly. I had a 32GB SD card (Micro SD HDHC with adapter) and it needs to be formatted with 16 Kilobytes allocation size. I also unchecked quick format so it did a full format of the disk (this will take upwards of 30-45 min to do). Worked correctly after that. Had the same problem with my USB drive 128 GB. Trying the same thing with 32 KB allocation. Nintendo has a webpage about how the Wii adheres to strict SD Card format rules. They have a link to the official SD Card standards website and it has its own formatting tool (which I ended up not needing to use). This is probably worth trying out. Here's a chart for SD Card size and what size the allocation should be: < 64 MB: 512 bytes. 64 MB-128 MB: 1 KB. 128 MB-256 MB: 2 KB. 256 MB-8 GB: 4 KB. 8 GB-16 GB: 8 KB. 16 GB-32 GB: 16 KB. 32 GB-2 TB: 32 KB.

While I really enjoyed the walkthrough in question, I believe that there may be some how may have trouble having their wbfs files from loading into usbloader gx. For one, if anyone is reading this comment and had similar troubles having the program find their game files on the usb drive, maybe this can help. For one, make sure that your wbfs files are in a folder called...wbfs (I know anti climatic). Secondly, make sure that you use a program called Wii backup manager (the program has better instructions than I can write up, but it's easy enough to follow). In a sense, this program will make sure that your wbfs files are named properly. Trust me, naming literally hinges on if usbloader gx will even look at your games much more play them. That's what troubled me in the past with this project, and these were the answers I was looking for. In any case I hope anyone else that finds this is able to also be helped as well. Happy wii hacking, and have fun out there :)

@BORUSSIA ! The reason for that is, when you download a game (i know, yarr) from a site in wbfs format, it was most likely formattef in wbfs manager, after downloading it, try formatting it to wbfs again but through Wii backup manager, it's what got my games to work.

What does it mean when Nintendo sends me 5 messages from pastimes in 1 day? I modded my older wii and they targeted it but my newer wii did not receive any messages from Nintendo. Could it just be my older wii had less protection than my newer one?

Got a wii for christmas a year or two ago, planning on homebrewing it eventually Once that’s done, im moving onto my New 2DS (yes, THAT console), since I’d rather play on those two consoles than the switch

when i try to dowload things within usb loader gx i get the error Failed to initialize the USB storage device.. how do I fix this?

[@beneduccishirine6709]

By downloading " 7zip downloader" Which allow you to extract 7zip files and then copy the folder you want

[@WaabaBoi]

I've done everything right the one problem I'm having is when i go into the homebrew channel i se no apps pop up just bubbles going up? Please help I'm trying to play my Japanese GameCube disc games on my Wii!!!

[@fl0wxopt1cs92]

that's because you haven't installed any apps yet. if you want apps, download the hombrew browser

Great tutorial, I have a question Can I watch Netflix on Wii?

[@superwooper5210]

Sorry I'm late, but no. The Wii stopped supporting Netflix in 2019.

[@SCL4L]

@@superwooper5210 i already have it installed onto my wii, there's no way to get it working?

[@superwooper5210]

@@SCL4L Sadly nope, since it's based on being online and Netflix stopped letting the Wii app use it.

Hey Michael, just wanted to inform you that the cIOS Installer doesnt work anymore, its the 5th time i mod my wii, and this video helped me many times, thanks man, keep up the good work!

[@GhostIy_Games]

for those of you like me with the homebrew channel already installed skip it and go straight to install bootmii continue the same way also if you have gxloader dont replace the apps folder open it in the archive and put that in the apps folder

[@SternXD]

The cIOS stuff always makes me nervous

[@RilGames.]

one wrong move and idk what happens but probably nothing good

[@BroerenGames]

any recommend sd cards and usb sticks?

[@tadpolegaming4510]

Anything that isn't from a Chinese discount shop. Or AliExpress.
