The link for d2xios installer link will now be the updated V11 beta 1. It will have different instructions for what base and slots to use. As far as I can tell; the new version 11 has 4 base/slot steps, where as the V10 beta 52 had 3 steps in this video. I was initially quite confused when I couldn't find the option for Beta 52. I hope this helps someone who runs into the same thing. Thanks.
@@Sibor-sk6tj So, in the video the gentleman does it 3 times. But in the written instruction on the website, the new updated version does it 4 times. So first time do 38 and then 248. Then the second time do 56 and 249. And follow down the line of numbers I posted. If you're still confused try the written instructions on the website where you downloaded it.
Just wanted to say thank you. This and some of your other jailbreak/modding vids have helped me to get so much more life out of my older consoles. I'm having a blast with all this. Thanks :) 👍
I find it educational. More methods will make it easier in the future if I mod another one. The Wii was only the second console I ever modded. I have the most experience with this one.
I just did this to my Wii. Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Just FYI, they're up to version 11 Beta. I did everything else exactly the same and it worked great. 😁
I’ve modded several Wii’s but I always enjoy watching new methods of doing it so that way for future reference it might be faster and easier to do and that goes for any console or handheld for me
Yup. It's always good to learn new techniques. It's so much easier now. Many thanks to those who did the initial hacks. As I recall, the Wii was hacked with a pair of tweezers.
I agree that the method in the video is faster and probably more efficient, but I honestly prefer the Letterbomb method. It's also the only method I've ever used since I've only done it once before
I plan on doing this when my Wii arrives. I used your tutorial for modding my PS2 and 3ds and they turned out great! Thanks for these videos. I enjoy both of your channels.
FYI, you can use any size SD card. The reason Nintendo stated 32gb was the limit is because Windows or Mac OS won’t convert anything higher than 32gb to fat32 without separate software (Nintendo figured it was too much trouble to explain to “non tech” users) . I myself use a 512gb SDXC card (and a 1-2tb hard drive) when modding a Wii. From time to time I’ll also create a virtual nand on the SD card depending on the amount of Wii shop games and channels the customer wants me to install. Between Wii disc game saves, DLC, Wii shop games and channels, the measly 512mb of internal storage (in which all that data needs to be installed to in order for the Wii to run) will run out quickly.
Note: if you dont have gc ports, you cant restore nand backups with bootmii as it requires u to input the konami code with a gc controller, and if u cant u cant do it. u dont have to enter it if ur wii has bootmii boot2 though, which all non gc compatible wiis cant install.
the wii family edition came out in 2012, with no gamecube controller ports boot1 was patched in near 2008, so no family edition wiis will be able to have bootmii as boot2
It took me a while because I wanted to make sure I didn't break my Wii but this was an AWESOME tutorial! The only thing I found was that the install codes for Beta v10 were incorrect as it seems there's been an update on the Wii guide site. I don't even remember what step that was but I just changed the info 4+ times with what the website referenced with the same directions and it worked! Thanks!!
Do you have a lot tech writing experience and experience with ebd users? This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen ever and I've been in the IT field for over a decade! I especially love the fact that you well way to assure us that there will be points where the screen look like it was frozen but everything would be okay and we just need to wait.
Just acquired my first ever Wii and after checking out a few videos decided to use this one to jailbreak a console for the first time ever... and it worked! Amazing content man thank you so much!
Thanks Blaine, just watched the first video and got everything installed on my Wii. Great video by the way. Going to watch the game cube set up now. can you send me the thinks for installing the NES AND SNES roms as well, thanks man
I love your guilds that make things simple and easy to understand. I recently picked up a m93p mini pc, that i would like to install batocera on it. I checked your video lists and did not see one. I think that would be a great video to make. How to install batocera and also how to intall roms. I find it not so easy to figure this all out. Just and idea!! thanks for all the great videos
tip: if these files are downloaded to win rar you don’t have to extract it or anything j there should be the apps folder already in there just drag it into it.
thanks for the tutorial, it helped a lot. Psa for people trying to get a wired connection for the wii the hori switch usb Ethernet adapter will work on the wii
I’m still new to modding my consoles and you really helped me through a lot of projects. But I was wondering if you could make a video for adding cheats on the nes and snes emulators for the gamecube. Thanks I’m advance!
Your English is fine and we understand you. I'm sure Blaine appreciates the praise. I'm glad it's all working out for you. Thanks for supporting this channel.
When he says apps should merge it needs to all be on the sd card when opened. And it needs to be apps because its a default directory. So take the folder out and put it in apps
Another great video, thank you!! Quick question both for this and the gamecube mods. Once you're in a GC game how do you exit the game back to the respective game load screens without forceing a reset of the systems? I've read that there are button combinations to exit on the Wii but can't find anything for the process on GC, thank you so much! Love your content even if I already have some of the knowledge !
More complicated than I was thinking it would be. I jailbroke my Wii years ago, but it has been collecting dust for 5 years at least now. I got a Series X, so I don't think my Wii, or WiiU will be getting any love from me right now.
Blaine you have been my lord and saviour for everything in regards to modding and I need your help, I've modded my Wii u and I can't get Wii games to load in anyway, I tried usb loader and wiiflow, tried using tecomoon and nothing works
So just curious, if you don’t have the SD card at the moment but you wanted to go back and install BootMii later, could you do that? And if so, how? Repeating the process up to that point?
Yes you can I just did it. Just go through and re enter the dns settings and then go to user agreements again like before. Don't install homebrew again it's already there
I am preparing myself for jailbreaking my Wii and I understood all the CFS's aside from one... What does *d2x cIOS* does? What is its purpose for this softmodding? I'd be happy to know. (P.S: Why that last sentence "There's one more thing you need to consider and if you skip out on this, it'll be a real shame" sounded like a transition to next part? Was there some last part that was cut out?)
My Xfinity router is too new to connect to my wii so I have to use my phone mobile hot spot and the wii connects but the auto obtain dns advanced settings shows IP address, subnet mask, and default router instead of Primary DNS and Secondary DNS. Any way to help?
It's worth realizing that the Wii doesn't have a compliant wireless implementation. Even when new, it wouldn't work quite right. If the advice you were given doesn't work, I was able to use a no name USB to ethernet adapter to do the job.
How do you mod it without Internet? My internet is too modern for my wii to detect it Way back when I've modded it without doing any of this DNS stuff and i can't remember how
I had an eero router that my Wii wasn’t seeing in automatic search, I manually added the connection in the manual option, on security I choose the WPS2 option and entered the SSID and password manually, hope this helps!
Blaine, thanks for your step by step guide. I've followed your steps and am stuck in the page where you say to press 1 on wii-remote. There is no activity after I press 1. What's the reason? My wii version is 3.2U
Guy if you are facing problem of not getting the unicorn like me, you can solve it by connecting the wii to mobile hotspot and changing the location according to wii settings As i live in Pakistan so i changed my location via VPN. That's how you can solve it ❤
EDIT : I did a system update, and was able to proceed. "Press 1" at the 4'37" mark nerver show up, controler is not responding, tried twice, same result. I'm forced to unplug.
The wii was pulled out of childhood cupboard, it hasn't been used in around 10 years, so i'm probably not set up proprely on "the last official firmware". I'm doing an update, and trying again.
8:44 "Remove the SD card from your computer and put it into the card reader on your PC." I assume you meant "Remove the SD card from your Wii and put into the card reader on your PC"?
