Tut&files: How to Softmod a wii- Burned Wii/GC games via disk chan+custom themes+homebrew

[jobobalo]

Here is a brand new comprehensive softmod/customization system for the wii. This requires no special hardware besides (maybe) a one time use of the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. It's based off SoftMii 2.1.1 by team Softmii, Twiizers et al.

Expect more tuts on MultiGame Creation, SMB media/homebrew streaming, and a downloadable pack of every theme out on internet.

Requirements:
North American/European Wii with internet connectivity
SD Card (of at least 512MB) formatted to FAT (most already are) with this software pack in ROOT

PHASE 1 - This part is the Twilight hack and HBC installation. (Thx 2 Team Twiizers.)

1) First of all you need to indentify your system menu version. This can be foud by going to Wii Settings and be we displayed across the top of the screen. 3.1-3-3 use the Twilight Hack -3.3.zip and extract it to the root of your SD card where it will create a folder called private, containing the Save Hack, 3.4 users need to extract the TwiligHack 3.4.zip instead. you should now have a the correct Save Hack on the SD-Card.

Please also RENAME the HACKSPAL or HACKSNTSC file depending on your region to HACKS.INI and place on the ROOT of SD.

2) If you have never played Zelda you need to play it once and create a save file, or you cant copy Twilight. If you want to keep your save file, you must back up your save to SD card and transfer it to the computer before attempting SoftMii installation. Twilight Hack overwrites the save stored on the SD card, so be careful.
3) Once u restart, remove your Zelda save and copy over Save Hack for your region from SD to the System. They Will Be Indentified On There Icon's. for info visit http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Twilight_Ha

PS- A brief word on the Link

To best use this link, when the spam demands an email address make something up and have it end in @mt2009.com. (Or use your real one, but you'll get just one spam email.) Click the download link above the 2nd "offer". I use sharecash because they offer no Up/Download restrictions like MU/RS.

cant see the link to download ?

[CrapH]

i posted this on my old forum last year, heres clearer instructions and links that dont require you to take up offers :

Notice in the instructions you need an ORIGINAL copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but you can rent it and use it for this because you only need it one time.

========================
Backup Launcher 0.3 beta
by WiiGator
========================

** NOTE - DO NOT DO ANY UPDATES ON YOUR WII - IF YOU UPDATE REGULARLY THIS WILL NOT WORK OR MAY BE DISABLED **

Waninkoko also released an IOS downgrader for those that updated with the official update - if you decide to use this then you are doing so at YOUR OWN RISK - the decision is yours, but best of luck with all

This is a brief How to on getting your nintendo Wii to play the DVDr backup games without a Mod Chip in the Wii. Big respect to WiiGator for creating this loader and well done to Waninkoko for getting the ball rolling.

Lets just hope people realize how much work he put into this and contribute to his cause when you can.

What you need :
***************
1. Nintendo Wii with wii controller and nunchuck.
2. Legends of Zelda Original Game
3. SD Memory Card (any size)
4. Shop Channel update (part of the rar)
5. Homebrew Installer (part of the rar)
6. IMGBurn or Nero


Brief:

Everything that you need is contained in this Zip - put the whole lot onto an SD card and we can move on from there.
Since this is a beta some games still wont work - check for compatibility on the thread.- http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.p...up_Launcher_v3

Stage 1 : Install homebrew Channel
**********************************
1. Start up the Wii with legends of Zelda and save a game.
2. Put the Homebrew installer onto an SD Card by unzipping it to the root
3. Quit the game and go to Wii Menu - Wii OPtions - Data Management - Save Data - Wii and delete the Zelda Saved File.
4. Click the SD card tab at the top and select the EUR file (for Europe) or US (for US) and when asked to copy to the wii system memory select Yes
5. Go back to the zelda game and start it - and select the saved game Twilight Hack.
6. Talk to the man by pressing A - and wait for an install screen
7. Click Accept (1 button) to all of the menus
8. Upon returning to the Wii menu , you will have Homebrew Installed (may need a hard reboot at this stage)

Stage one complete !

Info :
The homebrew channel includes a few games like Tetris, Doom , Quake and a few more and has a Homebrew browser for anyone who wants more homebrew applications.
I have also recently included the Wii MPLayer that lets you listen to streaming audio with your wii ... not classy looking but it works well. mplayerwii.conf is where you find the stations.


Stage 2 : Install the rest
**************************
1. Go to the Homebrew Channel and select safe update 3.3u - this will update the wii with the recent nintendo releases and save you headaches in the future (Thanks tona)
2. In the homebrew channel select cIOS Installer and install that - all files required are also in the zip so it should be quick (Thanks WiiGator)
3. Select number 6 - WAD manager and install the BackupLoaderChannel0.3.wad file (Thanks Tgames)
4. Burn your ISO to disc (no need to patch them with this version) and get ready to play games.
Stage 2 complete !


Stage 3 : (Optional) Backup a game from the wii
************************************************
1. Start up the wii and go to the homebrew channel
2. Go to to Homebrew channel once again and select Wii DVD Dumper (This is by Waninkoko v1.2)
3. Select Wifi Network Backup
4. Select the game type - usually Wii Single Layer
5. On your PC/Laptop , open Firefox (IE may give errors -10056) and type in the link the Wii gives you
6. Wait 2-4 hours and you have a ISO for yourself (dependant on your wifi speeds)


**********************************************
Updating from the old Installer
**********************************************

If you wish to update from the old installer all you need to do is :
1. Copy the 'apps/2. cIOS_Installer' and '00000001' (to root) to their respective folders on your memory card
2. Copy the BackupLoaderChannel0.3.wad in the wads folder into the SD card WAD folder
3. Start Homebrew and go to the cIOS Installer and run it
4. Go to the WAD Manager and install the BackupLoaderChannel0.3.wad (BackupLoaderChannel0.2.wad may need to be uninstalled)
5. Run the game.
6. I would also recommend installing the safe update 3.3u and not to do any official nintendo updates as it may stop further installs and updates.

All you need is BootMii

http://bootmii.org/

BootMii is a piece of software that can be installed as an IOS or inserted into the boot process. As an IOS, it provides a fast way to back up your Wii's internal NAND flash memory, and will eventually form the basis of a new generation of homebrew applications for the Wii. Inserted into the boot process, BootMii provides you with a "safety net" -- you can back up your entire Wii to SD in under three minutes! If you were to brick your Wii, BootMii would still run and let you restore your backup from SD, quickly and painlessly. BootMii also allows you to directly boot The Homebrew Channel or other homebrew from SD, bypassing the "warning screen" and the rest of the menu.
