do i need any of theses things and what are there purpose i would be interested to know about any similar additional software for the wii and what is its used for

also is it possible to back up the wii just in case it all goes tits up

thanks

With a softmodded wii, the problem is that when a new update comes out in the future, and you install it over a softmodded menu system , you may get problems. Some game disks contain updates and obviously wi-connect24 will try and update if it detects your running old firmware.

One way round this is to turn off wi-connect24 for starters and use a program called 'wii-brick-blocker' on your game isos, which removes the updates from the game disks.

Another way round is to use programs like starfall (getting old now) and priiloader which patch certain things on the wii and stop the wii from accepting updates. (no need to patch each game with wii-brick-blocker)

Regarding backing up... , how did you softmod you wii ? if you installed bootmii to boot2 you can backup your wii's NAND flash to an SD card to keep if something goes tits... or if not i recommend using priiloader , as it gives you a recovery screen if things go wrong to load/uninstall stuff.

Let me know how you softmodded and i'll post a link on what you need to do to keep safe.

i used the one off here wii soft mod for dummies (i think i got it from here anyways )

anyway this is the destructions i followed

This is for those who have not soft-modded their Wii's or for those that updated through Nintendo from a previous firmware.

This has not been tried on Korean Wii's, use at own risk.

There are some new Wii DVD drives that will not read copied DVD's at all, you can't tell by a serial number either, you can however install and use a USB HDD instead of burning games.

PART 1:
-------

Insert SD card into Card Reader on your PC.

Backup your SD Card if you want to keep the data on it.

Format your SD card in FAT format.

Extract all files in Part1.rar straight to your SD Card.

Insert the SD Card into the Wii.

Click on Wii Settings in the bottom left.

Select Data Management.

Select Channels and click SD up the top.

You should be presented with a "Load boot.dol/.elf" message, click OK.

In the HackMii installer go ahead and install Bootmii (To both IOS and Boot2 if possible).

Install the Homebrew Channel.

Then install DVDx.

Exit the HackMii installer.

PART 2:
-------

Insert SD card into Card Reader on your PC.

Extract all files in Part2.rar straight to your SD Card overwriting all files that already exist.

Insert the SD Card into the Wii.

Start the Homebrew Channel

Press the "HOME" button on the Wii controller and choose BootMii.

After a few seconds you will be loaded into the CIOSrev14 Installer.

When prompted which IOS to use, scroll to the left and select "Do not reload IOS"

Choose WAD install and press A.

Once finished restart the Wii and open the Homebrew Channel.

Open the Wad Manager from the Homebrew Channel (Not by pressing HOME and Bootmii)

Choose IOS IOS249 when it asks what IOS to use (It will should already be selected)

Choose SD Card and install "NeoR7.wad"

Exit out of Wad Manager.

You should now be done and have NEO gamma on your Wii's main channels page. (This loads copied games)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

FINAL STEP Wii system 4.0 and 4.1 only, (if you are on version 3.x you are done and don't need this step.)

Open Homebrew Channel

Open DOP-IOS

Choose to download IOS60

Once it completes you are done

You can now delete everything on your SD Card and copy back your old files.

thinking again and reading back through the instructions i did both boot 2 and ios

when you turn-on your wii, if you get a grey bootmii screen with 4 icons , you've installed to boot2 (might only flash up for a few secs)

Do you get that screen ?
