Wii softmod for Dummies(without zelda)

[akyboo]

this soft mod uses the bannerbomb crack read the pdf file and follow the instructions and all should be fine. I have not tested this on version 4 but feedback would be welcome. Print out the pdf. file before you do anything read it twice and follow the instructions precisely step by step.
For those downloading the games use the Patcher to convert all the games burn at slow speed( i burn at 4x using nero) use verbatim - (not +)discs. This is for versions 3 wii's.Please do not use this thread for first post, the thread is to help those that need help and advice.

help thx

any 1 got step by step with files?

[alexh]

You haven't needed Zelda for a "long" time.

Bannerbomb is now the new tried and trusted technique.

Get the details on how to use it straight from the horses mouth:

Bannerbomb - WiiBrew (http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Bannerbomb)

[alexh]

feedback would be welcome.
The guide doesn't discuss the most important discover for the Wii so far : USB Loader..

Connecting a USB hard drive and playing all games from there. No more burning discs. No more swapping discs.

It turns the Wii into the most amazing hacked console since XBOX1

[partyzone]

works fine, can i just attach hd to wii now i have banner bomb installed? or need other software? thx

Re format your card and try again new cards should be formatted just to be sure as well

[KrakaJap]

Is there any way to revert back after this softmod?

[akyboo]

connect your hard drive to your wii use the iso dumper to load your games on the hard drive and no more scratched discs

[akyboo]

just go to data management and delete the channels

[funkyduck79]

What size SD card are you useing. Only a 2gb is recommended

[ceryus]

thanks a lot akyboo! im just preppin to buy a wii and i wanted to see if i could unlock my wii to play backups etc instead of actually using a modchip since i dont want to mess with the hardware side..thanks again!

[kr1664uk]

will this work on version 2.3 or shall i update the wii

[kr1664uk]

will this work with version 4.0.i was on 2.3 but someone updated it earlier .but i cant get past the first bit where it kicks in the boot. bit it looks for 2 files and then says i have to restart even tho it not found what it want s and then its not working.thanks

[hopper28]

I use USB loader GX great program also once you leave in the SD card it was download the covers from the net, and add them for you. BTW a great WBFS manager (WUYOU) allows you to drive to drive copy and also extract to WBF to you laptop for storing (small file sizes)

Hey guys,
When installing the batch file I get the following msg...

Installing IOS16, please wait...
>> Installing title... Error! (ret = -1035)
Please any button to restart.

After hitting any button, system reboots back into main menu screen.

Current Wii Firmware - 4.0E.

Any suggestions ?

[akyboo]

bare with me for another few days while i gather all the files for V4 soft mod and i will upload them then with a tut

[moregeld]

Alright!!
After some time spent on it - I have formatted my Wii. Restore back to a factory 4.0E session. Then, successfully I downgraded back to version 3.3E

After that was all done, mind you it was a pain! I then installed the HBC, ran some other installation files, and then installed this mod without a glitch - Just finished playing The House of the Dead. Bloody coool :)

Hey Moregeld,

I seem to be having the same problem. Yumraaj kindly provided with with a workaround (See permalink/post # 243 in "Wii USB HD Loader" topic), but when installing the Wad Manager I get the same error.

Can you maybe put some together like Yumraaj (ie. a copy of your SD card contents & steps to execute)?

That would be much appreciated! :tee:

[shutupdave]

to play from USB do the games just have to be an ISO?

Does this mean that I can hack my wii for free?

Hey,
If you PM Lercetia, he might be able to prepare one for you.
He did the same to me.
I have removed all the files of the memory stick - and placed them somewhere on the PC - Or I can PM you with the websites that I got the files from.

Quote, it was a risky job without bricking the Wii. But I was in luck that never happend.

Let me know,

[pjtaff]

OK, took the plunge and went for it....So easy and so brilliant. All worked first time. Now I can look at Usb Loader:congrats:

[CraigyRFC]

Orite mate cheers for this although I can't download it as it's not letting me, think it is just due to me being new so I will try later.

Edit: Letting me now, think I just needed to post first.

Also just one question...

Do you need to keep the SD card in the wii once you have installed everything etc.?

[badboy247]

I have a major problem. Everything installed fine onto my wii, but when trying to play an iso that i have burnt onto dvd+using imgburn it will just not load using the disc loader channel or the loader that i have downloaded on the homebrew channel. Just a blank black screen. really winding me up any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

[diehammer]

excellent tried it yesterday was just thinking about buying a drivekey so thats ?30 saved straight away.

update only takes 10 mins and is very simple :rangers:

[benellie]

Hi new to this forum as my dad told me about this soft modding though i need to try that so lets see how i get on

[ianmac]

Will this work on version 3.1E?

as I followed the instructions and when you need to run the Homebrew channel for the first time, it will not load and goes back to the main screen.

Am I missing something, do I need to use a twilight hack or anything else...

Thanx
Ian

[Seasider]

does this actually work?

Like a charm mate......this is just the biz and not too difficult to do either. Just make sure you follow the steps in the PDF file that is part of the download at the begining of this thread and you won't go far wrong

[synsa]

Got the homebrew channel working, amongst quite a few other mods but USB loader and cIOS not working on mine...v4.0e

[blythey99]

Im so glad that this post is on i have been thinking about adding the homebrew channel for a while, so i eventually got around to it tonight. now i just need to figure out how to get some games.


thanks

Thanx for replying Micky,
I have just managed to get it working, but not with these files, as they just installed ok, but when you run them the screen went black and took me back to the home screen..
I had to find an ealier version of Bannerbomb, just to install the Homebrew, then install "backup launcher 0.3 gamma" to run the backups.

Thanx m8 :-)

[eyeballs]

I have the twilight hack running on the little lads wii version 3.3 I think. can I uninstall this and install the bannerbomb?
He has a spindle full of games at the moment but some are getting scratched, this would be ideal if I could connect a hard drive.

[Greenstreet]

Will try this on version 4e hopefully wont get any probs

Yea, you could start with reading your welcome email when you joined. You need to make a post ( which you have just done ) and wait about 15 mins or so for the server to update, then you can download. Welcome to the forums and i hope you stick around :)

Hi Guys.
I'm a new member and just read this thread which right up my street. I have previously tried to soft mod my Wii but when I ran the install.bat file which "supposedly" copies the blocks onto the SD card and loads it up automatically when the card is inserted nothin happened?

Just to give you an update, I have tried the .rar attachement in this thread and it still does nothing? I'm using v 3.4e.
When I run the Install file and it asks new/old, I enter old. When it asks do i want to format, I put yes. and obviously the correct drive where my SD card is. It's a 1gb card. The install file looks like it does something but then stops quite quickly. I then go to my Wii and load up the SD card channel. It says I have 7000+ blocks open (so something is definately there!)...but nothing.
Thanks in anticipation guys.

Apparently, there's no point putting bootmii in an IOS - it has to be boot2 otherwise you can't restore any nand backup you make. preloader is your best bet

[glazza]

Thank you ManOfScience for your speedy reply its most aprecited.

When you say preloader is my best bet is it just a case of putting the prelodaer onto my sd card and installing it via HBC channel?

I was going to remove the hack and load Bannerbomb but was wondering as I already have the HB channel installed could I just install the usb loader to play games from the external hard drive, sounds logical to me but excuse me as I'm not an expert on this. Let me know what you think or if anyone has already done this.

what version wii have you

[jeffporfirio]

Thank you.
Have 2 wiis (dont ask why, please). One with 4.0, which I successfully softmodded one with 3.4U, which I will try this softmod on.

For those with 002 error, disable wiiconnect, and make sure you scrubb the DVDs before you burn them, Google "Error 002 Fix", and download files, its fairly simple to do.

[thumbandit]

I have followed the instructions but backups wont load ;( i can run homebrew from the homebrew loader like duck hunt and quake but backups just goto a blank screen :(

How can i remove the softmod completely and start again ?

How can i get the shop channel working without updating my system. it's currently on 3.3e with softmod

[The Beast]

I just followed the tut and it worked without any problems at all, V3.3e

Thanks to the OP for putting this together:top:

One question though, do I have to keep the sd card in the wii to access the womebrew browser or is there another way.

Thanks, The Beast.

[Bob12345]

Gonna try this now :)
Glad someone has put up an actual guide all i can seem to find is scams!

[Ayub]

Ive tried to run a backup burnt in different media, including verbatim. But got error 1101 on Neogamma R7 and error 972 on Neogamma R6.

Modding the Wii with LU39 was a pain, but done at last, If I run the game images from the Mount, the'll work fine, the issue is when trying to run a backup disc. PLease Help.

:argh:

Wii System Menu 449 (v28 USA) will not work pls help

[jodie114]

Just brought my first wii, version 3,4e, sn: leh259.
i am a complete novice, but have worked out how to do nds m3 cards etc... is the general version 3 pdf ok, and is this easy?
thanks
jodie

[nenene]

when i tried this and put a disk in the screen just turned green i am using 4e

[nenene]

tried this but tv screen goes green and the wii freeze

[ilovewiigames]

great job dude! u rocks!


this soft mod uses the bannerbomb crack read the pdf file and follow the instructions and all should be fine. I have not tested this on version 4 but feedback would be welcome. Print out the pdf. file before you do anything read it twice and follow the instructions precisely step by step.
For those downloading the games use the Patcher to convert all the games burn at slow speed( i burn at 4x using nero) use verbatim - (not +)discs. This is for versions 3 wii's.Please do not use this thread for first post, the thread is to help those that need help and advice.

[tonyajs]

[MajickMike]

I really hope this works, can't really find a definite answer on here as to if it works on a newly updated Wii or not...

[switch299]

im a noob so please be gentle had a wii before i was skint and had soft modded with softmii v2 , alots happened in this time !!!!!!

[wythielad]

big thanks to akyboo for this i just done my wii 3.4 and it works a treat

[alex18_smooth]

I am going to try this for the first time.. hope this works... fingers crossed.. will post if it works.. i really like the idea of using hard disk to play instead of burning.. will give it a go if successful in this...

[alex18_smooth]

I am not sure about others.. but being a dummy on mods.. i had a difficult time finding my wii version... as googling it gave me lots of confusing / complicated things...

Here is an extract from wiki answers.. might be useful to someone

From the wii menu, go to wii options (down left corner), then go to wii settings (the right option).

Now, on the upper right corner, you will see a number, this is the version of your wii.

[supper70]

Just curious...what is the "Iso Dumper" program that comes with the BannerBomb used for?

[pjtaff]

Just curious...what is the "Iso Dumper" program that comes with the BannerBomb used for?
the iso dumper alows you to copy a game from your wii and onto your computer for burning but your wii must be connected to the internet

[kurpter]

Hi, my wii came with the softmod already done on it,

When i have gone to play some 'new' game it wants me to do a system update.

Is there a set of files i can put on my SD card to stop this. my system is on 3.4E

[dogtoffee]

Using wiiscrubber you can remove updates, I took the nintendo update to 4.2 then re hacked it, most are working now

[oscarjohnboy]

Using wiiscrubber you can remove updates, I took the nintendo update to 4.2 then re hacked it, most are working now

[ryecell]

where can i get softmod files for 3.4 without zelza carnt get them from here for some reason thanks in advance

[kakamanna]

I have bought my Wii recently and the firmware version it's running is 3.4e. Does this bannerbomb work okay with firmware 3.4e, Don't know if E is a newer version of firmware (even though 4.2 is a market)

The other thing I liketo mention is that 2d SD card is the pre-request or higher disk space can work? Does SDHC are okay to use?

This site is awesome and use for any information anyone need

[GiggsysLeftFoot]

hi, does this work on 4.2E? If not how do i downgrade firmware?

[kill3rvill]

does this allow you to play normal games in the usual manner still i have heard some stories to say you cant play them via the normal channels

[badbrad]

hey guys, im going to load on to my wii, its 3.3e which im assuming it works on. will i need to put brickblocker on too???

im afraid of updates on games which could brick the wii or am i worrying over nothing?

cheers guys

[pikey367]

im a total noob at this, if i download this, will it work for any wii to allow me to play "backup" games?

[vidville]

Sorry if I missed something but does the softmod for dummies fully install on an unmodified wii without using the twilight hack? ie. after installing onto sd card & following the instructions will it be softmodded? don't I need to do anything else. The reason I ask is I was going to post an sd card with software to someone & talk them through the process on the phone.

[weiwei95105]

i have a wii 4.20u does it work on that?

[zxczxc]

hi sorry for stupid question does wii need to be coneccted to internet? thanks

[dexex]

can I use hcsd or only sd

You can use SDHC if the firmware is newer then 4.0.


And thanks for this info...

[aznthang]

new to this.. Got couple of questions:
1 -can i use any sd card?
2 -I have 4gb sd card, will this work format to FAT?
3 - tried to read from wii, but it is stating that it cannot read from card?

[aznthang]

sorry group. got another card and got the SD to work. But on part 2, where it state "
Press the "HOME" button on the Wii controller and choose BootMii", I do not see the BootMii option.... Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

[dablondi]

I did softmod for 4.0 a while back and all worked fine. At the time I did the mod, cIOS was at ver 7.0. I have BootMii installed as BOOT2 and although all the HB is working just perfect I can no longer use the latest versions of Nintendo, Shopping or latest Internet channels cos since I modded they all now require a system update before they can be used. Couple of questions:

1. With BootMii on BOOT2 can I go ahead and do the update to 4.2 via Nintendo then run the Wii via BootMii to reload HBC and my backup launcher (NEOGamma v15b)?

2. Assuming i can update to 4.2. NEOGamma is also telling me I need to update cIOS. Do I just get the latest version of cIOS and load via WAD manager?

[christoff.92]

Will this also work on the newer black wii?

[texnza]

at last a tutorial!!!
big up!!

[Curious123]

Gonna try this tonight. I can get Homebrew channel on and everything, just stuffed trying to play an iso of a downloaded game. Any help? i,ve tried with neogamma, screen just goes blank!

I have followed the tutorial etc but I just get a green screen when I try and play a the Super Mario Bros.iso backup game which I have copied to a dvd with Nero. What am I doing wrong?

[thered]

I have followed the tutorial etc but I just get a green screen when I try and play a the Super Mario Bros.iso backup game which I have copied to a dvd with Nero. What am I doing wrong?

i havent got it working yet i think you need to copy a patched dol file to the sd card which then makes the wii think its ok to play or i think it plays through a hdd if you load it on there with usb loader. i cant confirm at the minute cos the kids have took it home i tried the supposedly working iso file on here to a dvd but it didnt work for me when i tried on the wii


this is the patched dol file that supposed to make it work but its untested at the minute by me

http://lix.in/-6edc58

[psoares27]

is this going to work on the newest WII?s, like the ones bought on december 2009?

[lonewolf37uk]

Thanks for a great tutorial, can't wait til I try it

[kka]

will try this on my wii later tonight...or if there is technical supervision around..

[nrsoftware]

after that i give feed back.:manusign:

[ronnoco32]

is there any chance that this method could brick my wii?

[jmaxwell111]

thanks a lot akyboo! im just preppin to buy a wii and i wanted to see if i could unlock my wii to play backups etc instead of actually using a modchip since i dont want to mess with the hardware side..thanks again!
im going to give this a go done my 360 now for my wii

[zz9zzzalpha]

[tiltontrev]

I tried it a couple of days ago, got the card and the Wii done *successfully* but am still waiting for a game to download, the bloody torrents seem to take ages to come down. I can usually expect to download 4g in about three or four hours easy.

[BoyOne]

To bad the 4.2e doesn't work with this mod.. :( It won't install/kopy it to the wii

[ravisher]

for version 4.0E need to do something else???

i try softmod but wii i format SD FAT16 ... i copy files ..but wii cant see files in SD card...

[ralexey]

Hi... your SD must be formated in FAT 32. And you should use a 2GB SD memory card do not use a SDHC in order to instal HBC and Bootwii.

[Elbophoto]

Found this thread very helpful, the PDF also. You guys are stars :)

Thank you!

[404error]

Finally a guide I can follow :)

I'm hoping my console will have the older drive, and be able to read copies, but as it was bought October 09 I bet it doesn't and I'll have to buy a USB HDD :(

-Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[recorder28]

just bought myself a wii - hope this works for me - will let you know soon

[yakuza61]

Is there a maximum size of HD u can attach to the Wii or is it only limited to a usb stick & not an external HD connected by a usb cable ? ...... pardon my ignorance but I am still trying to get up to speed with all the things that can & can't b done with the Wii.

[canuck]

Thanks for the info... looks interesting... newbie with Wii and trying to unlock for Grandson...

Thanks for the guide, modded my 4.2 and it seemed perfect.
Today I tried a copy of Guitar Heroes Beatles and it just black-screens, I even burnt another copy to make sure it wasn't the disk.
I'm guessing as this is a newer game than the ones I tried previously I may need to change something?
I followed the guide to the end, so I also removed all the files form the SD card, so simple instructions please :)

Thank you
