Wii Softmod Tutorial for noobs like me

[JMCK]

Ok no where near am afraid. I extracted a file which shows the hack file on my wii (one for USA, one Jpn and one EUR)

it was Wii Softmod

on my sd card is

folders:
00000001
apps
private
WAD
boot.dol

Have i got the wrong file. Most of the instructions followed goes to plan till it fails on ELF loader.

Everyone else seems to have breezed through.

Arghhhhhhh

[JMCK]

Cheers will try it m8. Sorry re double post. do not know what happend

[dell_xps]

Did you select the EURO hack ?

[garya]

hi to all you digibox mechs. new to this site hope to have plenty of info out you lot

[drawflex]

The dowload pack I linked in the tutorial post includes 2 twilight hack / homebrew channel files one for 3.4 and one for 3.3 and earlier

I'm guessing you're skipping this part mate ?

**If you've got 3.4 firmware navigate to SDCARD/private/wii/title/rzdp/, delete data.bin and rename twilight 3.4.bin to data.bin.. otherwise let's crack on..**
If you're on 3.4 and you skip the above step the twilight hack will fail.

EDIT : After work I will upload a new softmod pack , containing only the euro version of the twilight hack to save confusion..... DONE

I had to stop last night. Sorry to be rude. Anyway I did delect Euro hack. All seems to work correct as per Drawflex initial tutorial. The boot.dol is in the root of the SD but when I crash Zelda it just will not proceed to install homebrew. I did rename the twilght3.4 to data.bin as instructed, and I have also downloaded your instructions mate and zipped files but have not implemented the them in terms of transferring them to SD and running them as am not sure which order to run files (I have seen your recommended structure in these new files though). I am feeling extemely numb now and am sure an eye or two will roll (mine def would). Why will drawflex's easy guide not work for me. Is the boot.dol in the wrong place? please see earlier where i listed the contents of SD card.

Whereabouts are you m8 ? maybe someone on the forum can do it for you if you cannot manage to get it done.

Format your sdcard and start again mate.. structure should be spot on, extract the zip to the root of your SDCARD don't worry about trying to re-stucture it, if you're on 3.4 make sure you follow the pointers.

Cheers for your continued assistance drawflex and dellxps. Will format card and start from beginning as per tutorial. I will not be giving up yet

[JMCK]

Cheers Drawflex. Must have been my unformatted SD card, as previously I just deleated files off it to utilise. When I formatted and re downloaded your files today all went exactly as per tutorial. Now any tips for best usage of the tool. How do I get hold of games to load on backup launcher. Thought a menu option would have been created? Can I watch DVD s on it now.

[bugaloo41]

JM if you installed dvdx installer you can watch dvds.

plenty games for dloads via newsgroups or torrents.

mod chip

Hi is it ok to soft mod even if the wii is chipped t.i.a

[JMCK]

Hello drawflex did your zipped file of 'goodies' include dvdx installer m8. Going to search newsgroups to download some games and will let you know when it is all achieved. Nintendo DS is best with those R4 cards. But suppose no pain no gain and all that????

[dell_xps]

Yes m8 you can softmod it to.

No mate... pack only includes the files required for softmod.
