Thanks for this post! I was very relieved. I bought the Wii not long ago and found out that there was no mod for the firmware 4.2. Until I found this post. Thanks again.

Well, i format the thumb drive(not hdd) to WBFS and transfer games by using WBFSmanager.

uLoader can see the game fine
uLoader can load the game fine.
But game always crash after intro.

EDIT: I install USB Loader GX just to test my game and it load the game fine but every after 30-40 mins of play, game crash. Had to reset the Wii

Ok, how do i put my 4.2E Wii back to virgin state?

[vosszaa]

I have IOS249-v14.wad and cIOS250-v14.wad installed in my Wii 4.2E
But I want to use cIOS249-v16.wad and cIOS250-v16.wad instead.

1. For installing cIOS250-v16.wad, do i need to uninstall cIOS250-v14.wad first?

2. For installing cIOS249-v16.wad, I'm not sure whether I can keep IOS249-v14.wad and install cIOS249-v16.wad straight away as i presume they r different WAD because there is no cIOS infront.

Can anybody clear this up for me please.
Thank you

What are cIOS and IOS - GBAtemp.net

IOS = Internal Operating System

cIOS = Custom Internal Operating System

Thanks

Hi Ranger, ok when you install bannerbomb step 1, you get the press 1 for homebrew channel etc, sais if you have paid for this etc you have been robbed or something like that, after installing the 3 dvdx, bootmii,homebrew channel go back to the main Wii menu, click on the homebrew channel, on the Wii remote press home, brings up few options, go into bootmii, this then brings up 4 boxes, use the on/off and reset on the Wii box to navigate left/right and select the option for backing up your nand, make sure you have at least 600mb space I think it is on your sd card, it takes about 10 to 15 mins to do, it backs it up then verifies it.
You can also use a gamecube controller if you have one to navigate the menu in bootmii, but most people dont have a gamecube controller so use the on/off select buttons on your Wii.
And yes you will be able to play all your DVD backup's, instead of using the Wii channel top left, you will click on the Uloader screen now, and load your game, this option also allows you to use a hard drive with iso's on it instead of burning all your games to disc, you can copy the games you have to hard drive and load them that way as well now.
Hope that makes sense, just up from night shift and not with it at all,

Hi Dell_xps, I have successfully installed the homebrew etc but when as you say above I go to the homebrew channel and press the home button there is no bootmii option on this menu.

Cheers

Ranger

On mobile just now, install bootmii when you install homebrew channel DVDX, install bannerbomb again and select bootmiithis time.

Ok had another play about with the Wii tonight, to keep things neat and tidy and have just the one loader on the main menu I'd stick with the USB Loader, using the cIOS rev 15. Played back all the games I tried " cough cough" all originals, all I did was select ios 249,pal 50 or 60, English language, doh!
I have a NTSC of Wii fit+, tried the above settings just got the black screen, same settings but NTSC this time and it played no problem.
Played new Mario game, all games that require 002 fix, and NTSC titles.
Enjoy peeps.

Hi again, I've sorted out the nad back up now thanks, but cannot get any games to play, I am not sure how to change the above settings, where do I look for these settings.

Thanks again

Ranger
