Hello!
I?m a total newbie, haven?t even got my Wii yet.
What I wonder is if you can still play originals as easy as before moding?

yes, same way to play original games as before modding.

Thank you, thats all i needed to know. Then the kids will still manage on their own.
Unfortunately my Wii won?t show up until about 2 weeks from now.

Is there any screendumps of the moded Wii to check out anywhere? Like menus or something.

Hi. Im new here and just looking for a bit of advise. Im modding my sons Wii and so bricking it could be pricey It seems you need to keep your Wii connected to the internet for this. Is there anything on the wii to do with internet connection which i need to turn off in order to prevent bricking? Automatic updates etc? What is it exactly that causes your wii to brick?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Im having problem with this install on my Wii. I installed it just fine on my parents, so decided to home and do mine. I get up to loading anytitle deleter to remove the certain sections and the Wii freezes and the wiimote disconnects. I have to physically remove the power cable at the back to restart it. My console is currently on 4.2e. Cheers

Hi m8 you only have to have wifi turned on if your installing cIOS 15 from network installation, cIOS 14 is incorporated into the download files now, so no net access is needed for cIOS 14 ok.

It won't even let me select an IOS, as soon as it hits the first screen it freezes

Formatt the memory stick, put the files back on, make sure the lock on the sd card is not on, try again.

Cheers, have done a few different things so went back to the beginning and did your process again using the memory card formatted to FAT not FAT32 and it worked.

[dell_xps]

No probs m8, glad you got it working.
