Wii Softmod leaked..

FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC!!

Worked first time!!

Really easy - whole process took less than ten minutes...

Now, which games are recommended? Just about to start playing De-Blob, or whatever it's called...

Cheers for the useful links chaps!

ETA: Gah... Spoke too soon, of course. Loaded, splash screens, intro movie, tried to create a profile, crash. Ah well, early days yet...

De Blob is like that, although it works on one of the loaders cos I've played it through the first and second levels. I've found it best to have all the loaders installed as not all games work on a single loader. Check GBAtemp for where to get them from. The backup compatibility list link is on this thread somewhere too.

Btw, I was wrong when I said you only need a memory card for the install. The Homebrew channel runs off the memory card, not sure about the backup loader ones.
 
Welcome to the scene dogmatique.
Just remember not to upgrade your Wii's firmware without checking on GBATemp first.

I have just downloaded De Blob and its playing flawlessly so far (up to level 4) on Wiigator 0.3 Gamma

Lego Batman is fun
Mario Kart is a must
Boom Blox is sooo adictive
Wii Family Ski
Wii Music is a great laugh when friends/family and alcohol is involved
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Pitfall is a great remake of the old Atari classic
Guinness Book of Records is mad...!!!

Anyone got a NZB for Shaun Whites Snowboarding?

As an aside, HackMii looks like a great development

Didn't know you could do that, but makes perfect sense, thanks.

There were about six loaders in the download pack from the excellent links posted earlier - I had no idea which one to choose, will now try a few.

Thanks Addy, your links n hints have been invaluable so far - I installed safeupgrade (sp) 3 that was included in the download pack mentioned above, will keep eyes peeled.

Just tried loading Cod5 - also failed after loading. Will try the other loaders and keep playing.

To be honest, the Wii was the Mrs idea - turns out she was a Mario Cart demon in her early teens - I thought I'd beat her at everything, but she can walk the talk and has utterly crushed me in every game so far...

Never knew she had it in her.

Curses.

She wants more games though, so here I am! :D
 
One thing to note with the Wii, is the type of DVD-R's you use.
I only ever use Aone (TYG02 dye) or Ritek (G05 dye) both of which have never given me a failure.
Also I never burn them above 4x.
This may be the cause of your disk errors.
 
Ta, I use NZBsRus too.

As for disks, I've been using Verbatim DVD-R's, as I read somewhere they were good, burning them at 4 x using Nero.

Maybe I'll try a different program at 2 x...

ETA: Tried Lego Batman with ImgBurn at 3 x, worked a treat! Now reburning the others...
 
I have softmodded a dozen or so Wii's now and this one puzzled me the other day.

Anyone who has an old Wii, you need to have installed firmware 3.1E - 3.3E to do the Twilight Hack.
Easiest way is to play Mario Kart as this will update the frimware to 3.1E
 
de Blob still won't play... Also, tried installing several loaders, but only wiiGator shows up as a channel, and backup channel has vanished...?
 
The channel I use is v0.3_GammaLauncher_Channel
If you can't get the WAD i'll mail it you, just drop me a pm.
 
Got it - I didn't update the cIOS Installer when I first installed GammaLauncher, all the backup games work now!

Cheers Addy ;)
 
After a 4 year ban on consoles in our house I have been given a wii for xmas and permission to play on it from my gf yay! :D

I was just wondering if this mod still worked? If it does I'll put my news server to work for a while
 
It's still working fine.

1st, check what firmware your Wii is running (Wii system menu)
If its 3.1E - 3.3E you can install the homebrew channel with the Zelda hack, then the Wiigator Ios249 backup channel hack.
If its running the 3.4E firmware, you will have to load an older firmware to the Wii.
If its running firmware earlier than 3.1E, you need to run a Mario Kart disc in the Wii to update the firmware to 3.1E
 
I now have a copy of Zelda, along with my own Wii which my brother won't be periodically coming in and stealing, so will get on the case of modding very shortly. I only really have use of a Mac at home, I presume that this won't cause any issues in the installation process?
 
FYI, a newer version of 0.3 gamma was released before the new year that fixes an 002 error with need for speed underground I think.

Link below is for the DjTaz download which includes the hack, homebrew channel, WADS and other stuff, as well as a howto guide on how to install/upgrade.

http://www.iol.ie/~taz/wii/002fixGammaLoader.zip

Howto for those that want to read up before installing/upgrading: http://www.iol.ie/~taz/wii/WiiHowToGamma.html

Can confirm have upgraded to this version and everything is working still working fine.
 
Yeah, I updated the cIOS36 and installed the new Launcher WAD the day it was released.
I never posted it here as there doesn't seem to be much interest of softmod on this forum.

I can confirm that N4S Undercover works fine with that update.
 
Cheers for the update. I got hold of the Legend of Zelda game at the weekend and I'll give the softmod a proper go sometime this week.
 
Have just installed the Twilight Hack and then the Homebrew Channel on my Wii. Now I can select the HBC but nothing happens.

There is a message that it is loading, and then it changes to a picture of bubbles.
There are two icons in the bottom right hand corner, one of which is flashing.
The icon stops flashing, then nothing.

What am I doing wrong, and what do I need to do?

Sounds like you need some apps in the 'apps' folder in the root of your SD card.

Sound simple enough :D

I asumed I'd have Doom etc there, so thought I'd done something wrong.

I noticed DVDx (and other stuff) doesn't work on menu 3.4 . Is it safe and worthwhile to downgrade?

You can downgrade using the files on GBAtemp. It has been easy and safe for most people and I haven't heard of anyone having problems but like all of this stuff keep in mind that you're taking a risk.
 
Played it for a couple of hours yesterday - quite good fun with a sense of humour. Obviously heavily influenced by Tarantino's Grindcore movies.

Not particularly challenging, there's no movement, just following camera pans, shooting and reloading, shooting and reloading.
