Click on the SD Card tab in the upper right corner of the screen. The same is true if you have a folder on the card called “private.”įrom the main Wii menu, click on the little round circle in the lower left-hand corner that says “Wii.” Click on Data Management, then click on Channels.
Note: If you have previously used the SD card to install or attempt to install homebrew you might have a file on your SD card called boot.dol. Then you download the Hackmii Installer and unzip it, copying installer elf to the card’s root director and renaming it to boot.elf. In brief, you download and unzip Bannerbomb onto an SD card. To prevent Nintendo from automatically updating your system, turn off WiiConnect24 (go into Options, then Wii Settings and you’ll find WiiConnect24 on page 2).
It is also possible that installing homebrew could void your warranty.įuture Wii updates to the Wii may kill your Homebrew Channel (or even, as was the case with System Update 4.2, brick your Wii), so you might want to not update your system after installing it. This blog does not take any responsibility for any problems arising out of installing homebrew. There is no guarantee that using homebrew software will not harm your Wii. The main purposes of Wii Updates are to prevent hacking so I believe you’re not interested.
Turn off WiiConnect24 and never update your Wii anymore. Look on the upper right corner for your version. open the ‘Wii Options’ Menu (‘Wii’ round button on the lower left corner)ĭ. WADManagerios16 (only for 3.4e firmware)ī.SD card (2Gb or less) formatted with FAT16 or FAT32.NOTE: Never uninstall one IOS with two digits!!! To know: Wii System Menu currently runs on IOS30, Homebrew runs on IOS35, and you need to install a Custom IOS36 into IOS249 (Won’t effect your wii)
In this way it can be considered “safe” to install custom IOS modules, or to patch any IOS module so long as it is not used by the system menu, as if it becomes corrupt it can be deleted and replaced without damaging the system as a whole. IOS versions are not aware of each other, and are not used or invoked at all unless software specifically requests to run using them. There is no “true” version of the operating system, instead there are many of what could be called “slots” for different versions of IOS to sit in. IOS is a somewhat unique system in that many games use (and come with) their own version of the IOS, though many games uses the same IOS versions. It provides the services that are used by Wii code to access most of the system devices. IOS – is the operating system that runs on the Starlet coprocessor inside the Hollywood package.
