title: "BlueBomb"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
It is **strongly** advised against using **any** video guide for hacking your Wii mini console, as there is an extremely large chance of **bricking** it.
{: .notice--warning}
If you need help with anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the Wii mini Hacking Discord server](https://discord.gg/6ryxnkS) (recommended)
{: .notice--info}
![BlueBomb](/images/bluebomb.png)
BlueBomb is an exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini's Bluetooth libraries. Although it is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, BlueBomb can run on the original Wii as well. This exploit also enables recovery from certain bricks, such as a banner brick.
For the original Wii, we do not recommend using BlueBomb if you intend to install the Homebrew Channel and BootMii, as there are more convenient exploits available.
{: .notice--info}
#### Section I - What you need
- A Linux machine
- A Virtual Machine may work, but it is not recommended due to its complexity in getting Bluetooth passthrough working. If possible, please use a LiveUSB as described below.
- If you have a Raspberry Pi, you can use that instead as it most likely has Linux installed already.
- Windows Subsystem for Linux or a Chromebook running Linux mode will *not work* as they don't have direct access to the Bluetooth adapter or USB ports.
- If you do not have Linux, [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop) is the most user-friendly option and can be ran on computers running Windows or Mac.
- 32-bit devices will require [Ubuntu 16.04](http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/).
- For 64-bit devices it is recommended to use the LTS edition due to its stability, but the latest release works as well.
- You can [flash a Linux Live environment to a USB flash drive](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview) instead of installing it to your computer.
- A Bluetooth adapter.
- An internal Bluetooth adapter will work.
- If you do not have one, make sure to get one compatible with Linux.
- A USB flash drive formatted as FAT32.
- This cannot be the same flash drive used for your Linux Machine.
#### Section II - Performing the exploit
1. Download the HackMii installer from [the BootMii website](https://bootmii.org/download/).
- (If attempting to fix a brick, you should also copy the homebrew app you wish to use to /apps/)
1. Extract it and place the `boot.elf` file in your flash drive.
- (Even for a Wii mini, bootmini.elf will **not** work, its purpose is entirely different and unrelated. Use boot.elf in all cases). 1. Connect the flash drive to the console. For a Wii mini, the USB port is on the back. For a normal Wii, use the bottom port. (or the right port if it's upright). 1. Turn on your console and navigate to the settings menu. On the top right corner you will see a 4-character code like the one in the picture below. This code is your Wii Menu version, take a note of this as you will need it later. Afterwards, turn your console off. ![SystemMenuVersion](/images/Wii/SystemMenuVersion.png)
1. Start your Linux distro, and ensure you are connected to the internet.
1. Open the Terminal
1. Run the following commands:
```bash
wget https://wii.guide/assets/files/bluebomb-helper.sh
chmod +x bluebomb-helper.sh
./bluebomb-helper.sh
```
1. The helper will then download the required files, and ask for information about your console.
- If you have selected a Wii mini you will be asked to provide your region. This can be determined by the last letter of the Wii Menu version (`U` for **USA** and `E` for **PAL** models).
- If you have selected a Wii you will be asked to provide your Wii Menu Version (What you determined in step 4)
1. Turn on your console and **do not** connect any Wii Remotes.
1. Press the Sync button repeatedly until the terminal shows `got connection handle`. This could take numerous attempts, so don't give up.
Make sure that the console is close to the computer running the exploit, ideally it should be less than 3 feet.
{: .notice--info}
The console should now boot to the HackMii installer. You can now shut down your Linux computer if you are not planning to use it later.

title: "BootMii Backup"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
![BootMii Logo](/images/bootmii.png)
You need an **SD card** to create a NAND backup using BootMii. If you do not have one, you can skip this page, although it is highly recommended to make a NAND backup if you can.
{: .notice--warning}
BootMii as boot2 is recommended, but only available to install on early Wii consoles. Otherwise, it can only be installed as an IOS.
{: .notice--info}
One of BootMii's most important features is the ability to backup and restore your Wii's NAND storage. We will be going over how to perform a NAND backup. You can then restore from that backup for any reason. It's a good idea to make a NAND backup regularly or before doing something risky to your console (and if you know what you're doing, you won't have to do anything risky).
#### Requirements
- An SD card with at least 512MB of free space
#### Instructions
If you have BootMii installed as boot2 you will need to launch BootMii by restarting the console. Skip steps 1 and 2 if this is the case.
{: .notice--info}
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel.
1. Press the HOME Button, then select "Launch BootMii". ![BootMii_Main](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Main.png)
If the `Launch BootMii` button does not appear, please [re-launch the HackMii Installer](hackmii) and install BootMii.
{: .notice--info}
Navigating BootMii is not possible using a Wii Remote. You must use the POWER and RESET buttons on your console, or a GameCube controller plugged into port 1. To navigate between options, press POWER on your Wii (or left/right on the +Control Pad on a GameCube controller). To select an option, press RESET on your Wii or A on your GameCube controller.
{: .notice--info}
If the screen stays black and the blue disc drive light is blinking, you are missing the BootMii files on your SD card. Download [this zip file](https://static.hackmii.com/bootmii_sd_files.zip) and extract it to the root of your SD card, then try again.
{: .notice--warning}
1. Select the Options button (the icon with the gears). ![BootMii_Gears_Icon](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Gears_Icon.png)
1. Select the BackupMii button. ![BootMii_Green_Arrow](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Green_Arrow.png)
- A NAND backup will start. You can watch the progress on the screen.
- "Bad Blocks" are normal. Don't worry when you see some on a NAND backup.
- After this step, it will verify the backup. Ideally, all the blocks should be green after the verification process.
1. When the backup is complete, exit the NAND backup screen by pressing any button. ![BootMii_NAND_Backup](/images/BootMii/BootMii_NAND_Backup.png)
1. To exit BootMii, press the Back button (the one with the arrow) and then you can press either the Wii Menu button or the Homebrew Channel button to exit where you want to. ![BootMii_Return_Arrow](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Return_Arrow.png)
<div id="restore-notice" class="notice" markdown="1">
To restore from a NAND backup on your SD card, you can follow the instructions for [RestoreMii](bootmiirecover).
Please be reminded that <strong>restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort,</strong> and that there often better ways to fix your brick.
Try your best to [identify your brick condition](bricks) and reverse the action that caused it in the first place.
</div>
To make sure you dont lose the files, it's recommended to copy `nand.bin` and `keys.bin` from the root of your SD card to your computer.
{: .notice--info}
[Continue to Priiloader Installation](priiloader)<br> Priiloader adds a level of brick protection, and is highly recommended, especially if you were only able to install BootMii as IOS.

title: "BootMii Recovery (RestoreMii)"
---
#### What you need
- An earlier NAND Backup made by [BootMii](https://wii.guide/bootmii)
- A GameCube Controller*
#### Important notes
<strong> Restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort.</strong>
If you are even able to enter BootMii, enter the Homebrew Channel instead, and try your best to [identify what caused the brick](bricks) and reverse it.
* If you have not done anything to cause a brick (or you're starting up your Wii after a long time), then it is probably a [Wi-Fi Brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick).
<strong>Family edition Wiis (Wiis without GameCube ports) CANNOT restore NAND backups.</strong>
Family edition Wiis released very well after [boot1 was patched](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Family_Edition#Changes_carried_over_from_previous_revisions), which means you will not have BootMii as boot2.
If you do not have BootMii as boot2, RestoreMii will prompt you for the Konami code via a GameCube Controller.
Family edition Wiis do not have ports for GameCube controllers.
<strong>Restoring an unverified NAND backup may lead to a WORSE BRICK.</strong>
The same also goes for faulty SD cards.
<strong>Want to restore individual data from your NAND backup?</strong>
There is likely a much safer and faster way to bring it back to your Wii, likely involving the use of Dolphin Emulator.
For example, if you want to restore your Wii Message Board data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, find `Wii/title/00000001/00000002/data/cdb.vff`, copy it to your SD card as `cdbackup.vff`, and use [cdbackup](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cdbackup) to restore it.
If you want to restore a game's save data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, use `Tools > Export All Wii Saves` to export all your saves to your SD card, and use Data Management to move it to your Wii.
#### Instructions
If you have BootMii installed as boot2, you will need to launch BootMii by restarting the console. Skip steps 1 and 2 if this is the case.
{: .notice}
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel.
2. Press the HOME Button, then select "Launch BootMii".
You must use the POWER (right) and RESET (select) buttons on your console, or a GameCube controller plugged into port 1. To navigate with a GameCube controller, click left/right on the +Control Pad on a GameCube controller. To select, press A.
{: .notice--info}
3. Select the Options button (the icon with the gears). ![BootMii_Gears_Icon](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Gears_Icon.png)
4. Select the RestoreMii button. ![BootMii_Red_Arrow](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Red_Arrow.png)
5. On your GameCube controller, input the Konami code: ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, START
6. After the recovery ended, you should see a text say `I HAZ SUCCESS!`, otherwise `I HAZ FAIL`. Hit any button on your Wii console or GCN controller.

title: "Bricks"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
A "Brick" usually means your Wii has reached a state where, it's only use is that of a literal [brick](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick). <br> Bricks can occur for a variety of reasons, usually caused by improper system modifications via homebrew.
Here, we will discuss the different types of bricks, as well as some potential solutions.
## Banner brick
#### Cause
Banner bricks occur when a corrupted WAD file is installed on the system menu.
#### Solutions
If you have [Priiloader](priiloader) installed, enter it by holding RESET while turning your Wii on. Select Homebrew Channel, then use your WAD manager to uninstall the faulty WAD.
If you do not have Priiloader, Maintenance mode may be worth a try. Hold down `+` and `-` on the Health and Safety screen. (do not press `A`!)
If you are fortunate enough to get to the Wii menu, enter the Homebrew Channel and uninstall the faulty WAD.
## Theme brick
#### Cause
A theme brick occurs when a wrongly formatted theme is installed.
#### Solutions
To resolve this issue, open HBC through Priiloader and access MyMenuifyMOD to install a default theme.
## Semibrick
#### Cause
A semibrick occurs when a different region System Menu or a different region custom theme is installed. This causes the Wii to fail to find the Wii settings page files. ![Semibrick](/images/bricks/semibrick.png)
#### Solutions
If this was caused by a theme you installed, use MyMenuifyMod to re-download the original theme file.
If this was caused by a System menu WAD you installed, use [NUS Downloader](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUSD) to re-obtain your original system menu.
Be cautious when downloading the System menu WAD. Make sure to pick the same version with the corrected region.
{: .notice--danger}
If you are actually in the process of a region change, use [ARC-ME](https://github.com/modmii/Any-Region-Changer-ModMii-Edition/releases) to automatically fix all your region settings to match your System menu.
## System Menu brick
#### Cause
This brick is a more fatal version of a [Semibrick](#semibrick). If your SYSCONF gets corrupt or damaged, the Wii will regenerate it and start the setup phase.
However, the setup pages are in a similar location to the Wii settings pages. If you have an incorrect region System menu or theme, the Wii cannot find them. ![System menu brick](/images/bricks/sysmenu-brick.png)
#### Solutions
If you still have [Priiloader](priiloader), use it to enter the Homebrew Channel and re-install the original theme file/original System menu.
In case you do not have Priiloader, you can try [BlueBomb](bluebomb).
## Mail brick
#### Cause
A mail brick happens when your Wii has a lot of mail. This will make the Wii crash.
#### Solutions
To fix a mail brick, enter Maintenance mode by holding `+` and `-` on the Health and Safety screen. (do not press `A`!) <br> Enter the Homebrew Channel, and use [cdbackup](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cdbackup) to delete your message board data.
## Wi-Fi brick
#### Cause
This brick arises when your Wii's Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) module is damaged or not inserted properly. In such cases, the Wii gets stuck on a black screen while awaiting a response from IOS.
You can try and differentiate by checking if your Wii remote still powers on your Wii.
This will also happen on the Wii mini if you install a normal Wii IOS, because the Wii Mini does not have a Wi-Fi module.
#### Solutions
To resolve this problem, you can try reseat or replace the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module.
If you are on a Wii Mini, you must install a Wi-Fi module.
## Error 003 Brick
#### Cause
This brick happens when a non-Korean System Menu on 4.2 or 4.3 detects that the Korean key is present.
This is usually an immediate follow-up to a Wii System Update on an unsuspecting region-changed Korean Wii. ![Error 003](/images/bricks/error-003.png)
#### Solutions
Since this brick most often occurs after the System menu updates, Priiloader will not be present.
Korean Wiis also released with System menu 3.3, around the time that Nintendo [fixed the Trucha bug in boot1](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/3.3#Changes), so BootMii as Boot2 cannot be installed to any Korean Wii.
The only way to fix this brick is a way to launch homebrew by launching a game through the Recovery menu.
## IOS brick
#### Cause
This brick happens when the System menu's IOS is a [stub](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Stub_IOS). This is usually the consequence of attempting to downgrade your Wii menu.
#### Solutions
You must have BootMii as boot2 to fix this brick. Priiloader will not load.
{: .notice}
You can either restore a NAND backup, or do this:
1. Use [NUS Downloader](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUSD) to pack a WAD of your original System menu.
1. Use BootMii to enter the Homebrew Channel, and use a WAD manager to install the System menu WAD.
## Low-level brick
#### Cause
This brick occurs when boot1/boot2 is corrupt.
#### Solutions
You can only recover by using a NAND programmer.

Here's a list of things you should and should not do once you've modded your Wii, to make sure you don't brick it.
#### List
- **DO** make sure you've installed [BootMii](bootmii) and [Priiloader](priiloader) to make sure you don't brick your Wii.
- **DO** make a backup of your Wii NAND regularly with [BootMii](bootmii), especially before doing something risky.
- **DO** install Wii Menu themes if you wish, but only use our tutorial for it carefully. ([Wii](themes) / [vWii](themes-vwii)). Other tutorials might be misleading and can cause you to brick your Wii.
- **DO NOT** install WADs of random IOS, older versions of the Wii Menu, etc. unless you know what you're doing, especially not on vWii or a Wii Mini.
- **DO NOT** use old versions of Wii homebrew. If you follow Wii modding tutorials from the Internet, be cautious about using old tutorials (likely pre-2012), especially if they have to do with things such as IOS.
- **DO NOT** modify, rename, or delete random files on your Wii NAND unless you know what you are doing.
- **DO NOT** use the homebrew app "KoreanKii" on a non-Korean Wii.
- **DO NOT** Install any IOS or Wii Menu on a Wii mini other than [d2xl cIOS](cios-mini). Doing so will brick your console if a Wi-Fi card is not soldered to it.
- **DO NOT** use any Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection replacement on your Wii except for [Wiimmfi](wiimmfi) unless you have an RCE patch code. Unfortunately, other replacement servers are vulnerable to an exploit that can brick your Wii if you use them. An RCE patch code will patch the exploit. [RiiConnect24](riiconnect24) and [WiiLink](wiilink) are safe to use as well.
- **DO NOT** restore NANDs from other Wiis to your console via BootMii.
- **DO NOT** use the homebrew app "Pimp my Wii". The tool is dangerous and does things that can make your Wii unstable. The features of Pimp my Wii are available on other safer apps.
If you follow these guidelines, you won't have to worry about bricking your Wii. Wii modding is safe, and bricks usually occur due to something done by the user that is on this list.
Continue to installing cIOS<br> cIOS are used to play games with a USB Loader. It's also useful for many other homebrew apps.
{: .notice--info}
If using a regular Wii, follow [this guide](cios) to install cIOS.

If using a Wii mini, follow [this guide](cios-mini) to install cIOS

<button class="tablinks btn btn--large btn--info" onclick="openTab(event, 'dump-smb')">To a PC over the network</button>
<div id="cleanrip" class="blanktabcontent" markdown="1">
### CleanRip
#### What you need
- An SD card or USB drive with at least 4.7 GB of free space (8.5 GB if dumping a dual layer disc).
- [CleanRip](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cleanrip)
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Downloading/Installing
1. Extract CleanRip and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card into your Wii, and launch CleanRip from the Homebrew Channel.
##### Section II - Ripping

![RiiConnect24 Wii Logo Yellow](/images/Wii_Yellow_Gray.jpg)
### How risky is hacking my console?
Bricks (a state where either some parts of your Wii software are not working, or your Wii is not working at all) are extremely rare unless you ignore/circumvent all safety checks, or do something risky or naive like installing an older version of the Wii Menu. Make sure you install [BootMii](bootmii) and [Priiloader](priiloader) to protect yourself from bricks!
### Where should I go for support?
You can join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net) for assistance.
### What are the SD card requirements and/or recommendations?
You will need an SD card with at least 128MB to run an exploit.
- If you are using the BlueBomb, str2hax, or FlashHax exploits, you do not need an SD card.
To store homebrew applications, we recommend an SD card with at least 2 GB.
### I got error code XXXXXX, how to fix it?
In order to check what the reason for the error is, please visit the [Wiimmfi error page](https://wiimmfi.de/error).
### What are the limitations in vWii modding?
The following is a list of things that can potentially **BRICK** your vWii (don't do these things!):
* Installing IOS for a Wii console on vWii.
* Installing Wii menu themes not formatted correctly for vWii and/or your region.
* Installing BootMii.
* Failure during the install of crucial system/IOS titles (e.g. power outage).
* Modifying the vWii NAND without knowing what you are doing.
### How can I remove parental controls?
The [mkey generator](https://mkey.salthax.org) can generate the code required to remove parental controls.

{: .notice--info}
FlashHax is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered by using the Internet Channel. Unlike other exploits, this doesn't require an SD card.
#### What you need
- A Wii with an Internet connection
- The Internet Channel
#### Instructions
1. Open up the Internet Channel on your Wii.
2. Go to flashhax.com in the browser and bookmark the page.
3. Open the site from the bookmark. It'll then proceed to download and load the HackMii Installer. It may take some time as it is downloading the installer over the Internet.
If the HackMii Installer doesn't load and it instead freezes (you can't move your cursor), please restart your Wii and repeat step 3 until it works. It might take multiple tries, be persistent!
If you still can't get it to load, try deleting your cookies or save data for the Internet Channel.

GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
#### What you need
- An SD card or USB drive
- [GameCube Backup Manager](https://github.com/AxionDrak/GameCube-Backup-Manager/releases)
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.
{: .notice--info}
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Downloading
1. Extract GameCube Backup Manager, and launch the program.
2. Insert your USB drive into your computer.
##### Section II - Copying Games Over
1. Open the application and locate the folder button in the bottom right corner. Click on it to open the file explorer window.
2. Navigate to the location of the game file you want to transfer. This could be on your computer's hard drive or an external storage device. Once you find the file, select it by clicking on it.
3. Click on the `Files (Destination)` tab, then select the `Inactive` option from the dropdown menu. This will allow you to choose the drive where you want to transfer the game. Select the appropriate drive letter from the list.
4. Next, go back to the `Files (Source)` tab, select the game you want to transfer, and then click either `Install Game (1:1)` or `Install Game (Scrub)`.
Selecting `Install Game (Scrub)` will remove unnecessary data from the game, reducing the game's file size.

#### Required Reading
You can now use the Homebrew Channel to launch homebrew apps. Open Shop Channel is a one-stop shop for downloading homebrew, which you will learn how to install further in this guide.
Here's a tip - when installing homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:
![Proper SD Card Folder Structure](images/Wii/FolderStructure.png)
`AppName1` and `AppName2` are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple `apps` folders inside the `apps` folder itself.
[Continue to making a NAND Backup using BootMii](bootmii)<br> Making a NAND backup with BootMii at this point is highly recommended.
{: .notice--info}
If you couldn't install BootMii, continue to [installing Priiloader](priiloader).

## What is "homebrew"?
[**Homebrew**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_(video_games)) refers to software not authorized by Nintendo. This can include games, utilities, emulators and much more!
Running homebrew on your Nintendo Wii can be done for free by exploiting bugs in Wii's software. The modifications installed by following this guide will give you easy and persistent access to Wii homebrew.
## What can I do with homebrew?
Here's a list of things you can do using homebrew. While this list is by no means totally comprehensive, you should have a good idea of what is possible, and the guide will help you easily get started.
- Patch game disc contents (allowing you to load game modifications) using [Riivolution](riivolution).
- Install themes to your Wii Menu using [MyMenuify](themes).
- Install a USB Loader like [WiiFlow](wiiflow) or [USB Loader GX](usbloadergx) to launch all your favorite titles from a USB storage device and more.
- Back up your discs with [CleanRip](/dump-games) and installed games and titles with [YABDM](dump-wads)
- Back up and restore your Wii save files with [SaveGame Manager GX](https://wiidatabase.de/downloads/wii-tools/savegame-manager-gx-beta/)
- Back up and restore your gamecube save files using [GCMM](gcsaves)
- Download new homebrew apps with the [Homebrew Browser](hbb)
- Restore discontinued online services, such as [Nintendo WFC services](wiimmfi) & WiiConnect24 services by using [Riiconnect24](riiconnect24) or [WiiLink](wiilink).
- [Backup](bootmii) and [restore](bootmiirecover) copies of your Wii system memory (NAND) using [BootMii](hbc).
- Protect your Wii from bricks using [Priiloader](priiloader) and [BootMii](bootmii).
- Turn your Wii into a media player with [WiiMC](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiimc-ss).
## Ready?
Get started by [choosing your exploit](get-started)!

![LetterBomb](/images/letterbomb.png)
LetterBomb is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board.
#### What you need
- An SD card formatted to FAT32/MS-DOS
- A Wii on System Menu version 4.3
#### Instructions
1. On your Wii, go to `Wii Settings` -> `Internet` -> `Console Information` and make note of your MAC address.
1. Visit [please.hackmii.com](https://please.hackmii.com/), input your Wii MAC and region, ensure `Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!` is checked, and cut either wire.
![HackMii Screen](/images/Wii/LetterBomb-PC.png)
1. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP to the root of your SD card.
1. Take out your SD card and insert it in your Wii.
- The SD card must be inserted in the SD card slot located in the front of the Wii. Using a USB adapter plugged into the Wii's USB port will not work.
1. On your Wii, return to the Wii Menu and then open the Wii Message Board.
1. Load the red letter with a bomb icon.
- Ensure the date on your Wii is correct, otherwise you might be unable to find the letter.
- In various scenarios, you may need to look at the previous or next day to find it.
- If you don't see the red letter, check if any errors appear in the SD card sections in `Data Management`. If any do, there may be an issue with the SD card format or the Wiis SD card reader.
- If your Wii freezes after clicking on the letter, you probably chose the wrong region when downloading the exploit. Redo Step 2 and select the correct region.

#### What you need
* A Wii
* A USB drive or SD Card
* A Windows PC (a Virtual Machine will work)
* [Modmii](https://modmii.github.io/)
This is a quick start guide on how to use Modmii on your Windows PC.
## ModMii Wizard
You can use the ModMii wizard to softmod any Wii. <br> Even if the Wii has been softmodded in the past, you can have ModMii overwrite existing softmods by telling ModMii that this is the first time you're modding your Wii (even though it's not).
You can also use this wizard to set up a USB loader at the same time, instead of having to use the USB Loader setup wizard later on.
## SysCheck Updater Wizard
[SysCheck](syscheck) is a homebrew application that analyzes the modifications on a Wii. <br> You can give a SysCheck report to ModMii to help identify & update outdated mods.
You can have ModMii analyze a SysCheck by dragging the `syscheck.csv` file onto ModMii.exe. Or, you can launch the SysCheck Updater Wizard (`SU`) from ModMii's main menu and manually browse for the file.
## HackMii Solutions Wizard
The HackMii Solutions wizard can help fix symptoms like these:
- HackMii Installer not prompting "Press (1) to continue"
- HackMii Installer says "no vulnerable IOS found!"
- Homebrew Channel is displaying upside-down
It will install clean IOSs to allow for the HackMii Installer to operate properly.
## Abstinence Wizard
This wizard requires an SD card.

This wizard allows you to enjoy many of the benefits of a softmodded Wii without installing any permanent modifications to your Wii. It will allow you to launch an exploit to boot an from emulated NAND from external storage, instead of your Wii's internal NAND.
On a related note, you can also make a NAND backup without modifying your Wii at all. Find ModMii's "Support" folder and launch `Casper2BootMii.bat`. <br> It will save some files to a folder named `COPY_TO_SD`, copy the files inside it to your SD card and [launch an exploit](get-started).
When following one of the exploit guides above, please avoid replacing the `boot.elf` file.

{: .notice--info}
This is a quick start guide on how to use Nintendont, a popular loader for the Wii that's used to play GameCube games from a USB drive, SD card, or directly from your disc drive.
#### What you need
- A Wii
- An SD card or USB drive
- [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
We recommend you copy games over with [GameCube Backup Manager](https://github.com/AxionDrak/GameCube-Backup-Manager/releases) if you use Windows.
To play games, we recommend using an external hard drive for your Wii. Flash drives are not recommended, and may vary in behavior even between the same product.
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT or NTFS.
{: .notice--info}
#### Instructions
##### Downloading
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
##### Getting Started
There is no "guide" to use Nintendont. This is intended to help you learn how to use it, by giving you a quick start. You should be able to figure out all the great features of Nintendont by using it.
{: .notice--info}
###### Key Features
- You can use a GameCube controller to play your games.
- You can use a Wiimote to play your games, but you will need to use a Classic Controller Pro or a Wii U Pro Controller to use all of the game's features.
- You can use a Wii U GameCube Controller adapter if your Wii does not have GameCube ports.
- You can use a USB keyboard to enter text in games that require it.
- You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
- You can use USB Loader GX or WiiFlow to play GameCube games there.

Priiloader adds a level of brick protection to your Wii. It loads before the Wii Menu does (hence the name). The tool can also enable hacks for your Wii Menu, and be used to quickly launch the Homebrew Channel, BootMii, or whatever homebrew you want!
### Installing Priiloader
![Priiloader icon](/images/Priiloader/icon.png)
{% capture notice-vwii-priiloader %}
Priiloader 0.10.0 introduces vWii support! <br> There are some important things to take note of:
- To fix the timestamp issues (FORE000006, wrong News Channel update time), you will need to [generate a timestamp fix hack](https://garyodernichts.github.io/priiloader-patch-gen/). More info on the page.
- Installing a theme after installing Priiloader **will brick your vWii.**
And some things to enhance your vWii experience:
- [Priiloader Wii U Forwarder](https://github.com/DacoTaco/priiloader/releases/download/0.10.0/PriiloaderWiiUForwarder.zip) to load Priiloader straight from the Wii U Menu. **This only works on Aroma.**
- [evWii Aroma Plugin](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/evwii/releases) to enhance some extra features for vWii. The features are listed [here](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/evwii#features).
{% endcapture %}
<div class="notice--success" markdown="1">
{{ notice-vwii-priiloader }}
</div>
#### What you need
- An SD card or USB drive
- [Priiloader installer](https://oscwii.org/library/app/priiloader)
- [LoadPriiloader](https://oscwii.org/library/app/loadpriiloader)
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Downloading/Installing
1. Download the Priiloader installer and LoadPriiloader apps.
1. Extract both apps to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
##### Section II - Installing Priiloader
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel on your Wii.
1. Launch the Priiloader installer.

1. Press A to return to the Homebrew Channel.
##### Section III - Entering Priiloader
Priiloader will appear automatically after you install it. Simply exit the Homebrew Channel, and you should see the Priiloader menu: ![Priiloader Menu](/images/Priiloader/menu.png)
To enter it later on, simply run the "Load Priiloader" homebrew app. There are also other ways to enter Priiloader:
- Holding RESET on a Wii while turning it on.
- Holding the ESC key on a USB keyboard while turning on the console.
### Configuring Priiloader
#### System Menu Hacks
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel, and launch the Load Priiloader app.

{: .notice--danger}
### What you need
* A computer with either Windows 10 or newer or any Unix-based system
* [Dolphin](https://dolphin-emu.org/download/)
* [RiiConnect24 Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/RiiConnect24-Patcher/releases)
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Installing Dolphin
If you have Dolphin already installed, skip to Section II
{: .notice--info}
1. Download the latest Dolphin beta version, but **not a stable version as these are very outdated!**
2. Extract the .7z file using a program like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
3. Start Dolphin.
4. In Dolphin, go to `Tools` -> `Perform Online System Update` -> Choose your region. ![Perform Online System Update](/images/Dolphin_RC24/1.jpg)
If you have a homebrewed Wii console, you can use a [BootMii NAND dump](bootmii) instead of installing the system files with the System Update option. See [this page](https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=NAND_Usage_Guide) for more information.
{: .notice--info}
##### Section II - Installing RiiConnect24
If you use a Windows version before Windows 10, you unfortunately cannot use WiiConnect24 inside Dolphin. You can use [this program](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/.VFF-File-Downloader-for-Dolphin) to run it instead.
{: .notice--danger}
1. Click the link above to go to the GitHub page where the patcher is.
2. Download `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat` if you are on Windows, and `RiiConnect24Patcher.sh` if you are on a Unix system
3. On Windows run `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat`. On Unix systems, open Terminal and type `bash`, then drag `RiiConnect24Patcher.sh` into the terminal then press enter. It should look like this: `bash RiiConnect24Patcher.sh`.
4. Press 1 to choose "`Start`" and confirm your selection by pressing `ENTER`. (NOTE: These screenshots are from the Windows version of the patcher.)
5. For this guide, choose "`Install RiiConnect24 on your Dolphin Emulator`" ![Install RiiConnect24](/images/RC24_Patcher/3.JPG)
6. Choose "`Express (Recommended)`". It will give you everything you need. ![Express Settings](/images/RC24_Patcher/4.JPG)
7. Select your region. ![Select your region](/images/RC24_Patcher/5.JPG)
8. While you're at it, RiiConnect24 Patcher can additionally download some other optional channels that do not use RiiConnect24. `[X]` represents the options that selected. Just press 5 and `ENTER` if you're not interested. ![Additional optional channels](/images/RC24_Patcher/6.JPG)
9. Press `1` then `ENTER` to start patching.
10. Be patient... ![It's patching!](/images/RC24_Patcher/9.JPG)
11. After it's done, we would appreciate if you take a minute to send anonymous feedback to us. If you don't want to, close the patcher. All the files should already be on your SD Card. ![It's done!](/images/RC24_Patcher/10.JPG) ![Files copied](/images/RC24_Patcher/11.PNG)
12. In Dolphin, go to `Tools` and then `Install WAD`. Install all the WAD files one by one.
13. Unzip [AnyGlobe Changer v1.0](https://github.com/fishguy6564/AnyGlobe-Changer/releases/download/1.0/AnyGlobe.Changer.zip) and run the boot.dol file. Select your region and save. This will allow the Everybody Votes Channel to work.
Unfortunately, Wii Mail doesn't work in Dolphin yet.
{: .notice--info}
You will have to launch the Everybody Votes Channel 4 times at most in order for it to start working.
{: .notice--warning}

##### Section IV - Connecting
{% capture notice-1 %}
The old DNS server `164.132.44.106` has been deprecated as of `June 1st, 2023` and is no longer available to use. [Read more here](riiconnect24-dns-update).
{% endcapture %}
<div class="notice--warning">{{ notice-1 | markdownify }}</div>
You will now set your DNS to our servers. This is optional but it's recommended, because it enhances the use of RiiConnect24 and Wiimmfi by making some other features available.
1. Go to `Wii Options`.
2. Go to `Wii Settings`.
3. Go to `Page 2`, then click on `Internet`.
4. Go to `Connection Settings`.
5. Select your current connection.
6. Go to `Change Settings`.
7. Go to `Auto-Obtain DNS` (Not IP Address), then select `No`, then `Advanced Settings`.
8. Type in `167.86.108.126` as the primary DNS.
9. Type in `1.1.1.1` as the secondary DNS.
10. Select `Confirm`, then select `Save`.
11. Select `OK` to perform a connection test.
12. If the connection test was successful, select `No` to skip the Wii System Update.
13. Go to `WiiConnect24`, then `WiiConnect24` again, and make sure it is enabled.
14. Back on the WiiConnect24 menu, go to `Standby Connection` and make sure it is enabled.
15. At `Slot Illumination`, we recommend you set the disc light to `Dim` or `Bright`, but this is optional.
16. Finally, go to the `Internet` section, then `User Agreements` or `Agreement/Contact`, then `Yes`. Please read through this.
It's common to get error FORE000006 on the Forecast Channel after installing RiiConnect24. If you get it, make sure your Wii's to the correct date and time, then wait no more than an hour and it may start working. [If you still get error FORE000006 or if you get NEWS000006, you will need to delete your SYSCONF with RC24-Clear-Tool](deleting-vffs).
{: .notice--warning}
If you get error 107245, then you have not installed the patched IOS. Make sure you install IOS31 and IOS80 with Wii Mod Lite, along with any other patched WADs.
{: .notice--warning}
If you get error 220602 when loading the User Agreements, it means your Wii is still configured to use the old DNS server, which has been shut down on `June 1, 2023`. [Read more here.](riiconnect24-dns-update)
{: .notice--warning}
If you get error 107304 or you see Nintendo's User Agreement without RiiConnect24's logo, that means your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network is blocking the use of a DNS. You can set `Auto-Obtain DNS` to `On` to solve this. RiiConnect24 will still work without it. Or, you can use our [DNS-Server](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/DNS-Server/releases/latest) program.
{: .notice--warning}
[If you're getting any other errors with the Forecast Channel or the News Channel, such as an error code starting with FORE or NEWS or a discontinued message, you can try to delete your VFFs with RC24-Clear-Tool](deleting-vffs).
{: .notice--warning}
If you're getting errors such as `WiiConnect24 and Wii Shop Channel currently not being offered in your country`, go to Wii Settings -> Last Page -> Country and change it to United Kingdom. You will get this error when using a country that we don't support. Contact us at [support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net) if you need more help.

title: RiiTag on Wii U
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
RiiTag is a customizable and dynamic gamertag. By sharing your gamertag (a dynamic image), you can show what you've been playing to your friends! You launch a plugin on your Wii U console via Aroma, and the tag updates on-the-fly.
#### What you need
- A device capable of interacting with SD cards
- Softmodded Wii U console with Aroma custom firmware
- If you have not softmodded your Wii U yet, [please do so](https://wiiu.hacks.guide). You cannot proceed without.
- A Discord account
- The latest release of the [UTag plugin](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/UTag/releases)
Previously, UTag allowed using other custom firmware (often abbreviated as CFW), but the only supported custom firmware, and the only one you should be using, is Aroma.
{: .notice--warning}
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Website instructions
1. Go to the [RiiTag website](https://tag.rc24.xyz/).
2. Click `Log In` and log in with your Discord account.
3. A dialog will pop up asking you if you want to authorize `RiiConnect24 Login` with Discord. Click `Authorize`.
4. Click `Edit Your Tag` and customize it to how you like. You can add a background, overlay, flag, nickname, Wii Number, and manually enter in games to show on your tag (not needed if you're using a USB Loader).
5. Click `Show Key` and make note of the key shown. This will be used later on in this guide.
6. Click `Submit` to save your changes.
Do not share your RiiTag key with anyone! If you do, people can abuse your tag.
{: .notice--warning}
##### Section II - Setting things up on the SD card
1. Extract the UTag file to `/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins` on your SD card. If it doesn't exist, create it.
2. In `/wiiu/` on your SD card, create a file called `utag.txt` and paste your RiiTag key from the previous step into it.
##### Section III - Running the plugin
You don't need to manually run the plugin - just run Aroma and it will automatically be loaded. We recommend setting up Aroma for coldbooting so the plugin gets loaded automatically when you boot the console.
{: .notice--info}
You have now set up RiiTag on your Wii U! Now go play some games, and watch them show up on your RiiTag!

title: "Riivolution"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
{: .notice--warning}
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
{: .notice--info}
![Riivolution](/images/riivolution.png)
#### What you need
* A Wii
* A USB drive or SD Card
* The files for your desired mod
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
* A working disk drive
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
#### Preparing the files
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
2. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
3. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
4. Insert the disk into the Wii.
* Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
5. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
{: .notice--info}
#### File Structure
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.

{: .notice--info}
Do you want to get RSS feed updates on your Wii Message Board? This tutorial will tell you how to set RSSMii up.
![RSSMii](/images/rssmii.png)
#### What you need
* An SD card
* [RSSMii](https://oscwii.org/library/app/rssmii)
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Downloading/Installing
1. Extract RSSMii and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card.
2. We need to create a `feeds.xml` on the root of the SD card so the app will know what feeds to subscribe you to.
If you're using the Windows Operating System, you can use the [RSS Feeds Creator](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/rssmii/releases/download/v1.4.1/RSSFeedsCreator.bat) program created by KcrPL. It will automatically create a `feeds.xml` file and will copy it to your SD card!
{: .notice--info}
<b>If you don't have a Windows computer, use this template and use your favorite text editor to make the `feeds.xml`.</b>
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss>
<feed name="Example-Feed"><![CDATA[http://example.com/rss-feed]]></feed>
<feed name="One more Example-Feed!"><![CDATA[http://example.com/another_rss-feed]]></feed>
</rss>
```
Replace the "name" portion with the title you want to put for the feed. Make sure it's not very long, since there's not that much space. Then, replace the link portion with the link to the RSS feed. You can put as many feeds as you want. Don't delete the "CDATA" part.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss>
<feed name="RiiConnect24 Medium"><![CDATA[https://medium.com/feed/riiconnect24]]></feed>
<feed name="RiiConnect24 Twitter"><![CDATA[https://nitter.net/riiconnect24/rss]]></feed>
</rss>
```
Save the feed you made to the root of your SD Card.
3. Launch RSSMii from the Homebrew Channel.
4. Press A to confirm you want to subscribe to the feeds. Ignore the error about ES_GetTitleID, everything is fine.
5. Once everything is done, press HOME to go back to the Homebrew Channel. You should soon get RSS feed updates on your Wii, enjoy!
Not getting any feed updates? Try an RSS feed that updates more frequently, like a feed with news for example. If the RSS feed doesn't update often, then you won't get many updates.
{: .notice--warning}
We recommend you use just a few feeds, because if you subscribe to a lot of feeds you can get a ton of mail on your Wii.
{: .notice--info}
If you're not receiving updates after a few days, you might need to subscribe to the RSS feeds again. Launch RSSMii from the Homebrew Channel again and it'll create brand new subscriptions.

If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
Note that if your ISP or networking environment prevents using custom DNS servers, str2hax will not work and you should [choose another exploit to use](get-started).
{: .notice--warning}
str2hax is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered by loading the Wii's End User License Agreement. It requires nothing but an Internet connection that lets you change the DNS on your Wii.
#### What you need
* A Wii with an Internet connection
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Connecting
This exploit requires you to set your DNS in order to connect to a server that contains the exploit.
1. Go to `Wii Options`. ![Wii Options](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_1.png)
1. Go to `Wii Settings`. ![Wii Settings](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_2.png)
1. Go to `Page 2`, then click on `Internet`. ![Internet](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_3.png)
1. Go to `Connection Settings`. ![Connection Settings](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_4.png)
1. Select your current connection. ![Current Connection](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_5.png)
1. Go to `Change Settings`. ![Change Settings](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_6.png)
1. Go to `Auto-Obtain DNS` (Not IP Address), then select `No`, then `Advanced Settings`. ![Auto-Obtain DNS](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_7.png)
1. Type in `18.188.135.9` as the Primary DNS. ![str2hax DNS](/images/str2hax/dns.png)
If there are 3 fields instead of 2 (like above), go back and make sure you are on the `Auto-Obtain DNS` page.
{: .notice--warning}
1. Select `Confirm`, then select `Save`. ![Save DNS](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_10.png)
1. Select `OK` to perform a connection test. ![Connection Test](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_11.png) ![Connection Test Successful](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_12.png)
- If the connection test was successful, select `No` to skip the Wii System Update.
- If it fails with error code `521xx`, please verify that you have entered the DNS correctly.
- If it is still unsuccessful, please [use another exploit](get-started).
##### Section II - Triggering the Exploit
1. Go to the `Internet` section, then `User Agreements` or `Agreement/Contact`, then `Yes`.
1. Click on `Next`. You should be greeted with the following screen: ![str2hax EULA page](/images/str2hax/EULA.png)
1. Give the exploit 1-2 minutes to download (and don't press `I ACCEPT`/`I DO NOT ACCEPT`).
1. Once the exploit downloads, you will see a few text screens, then a mess of colors, then finally, the HackMii Installer. ![HackMii Installer scam screen](/images/hackmii/scam.png)
[Continue to Homebrew Channel and BootMii Installation](hbc)
{: .notice--info}
##### Common issues
If you get the normal User Agreements, your ISP blocks the use of custom DNS. Please [use another exploit](get-started).
{: .notice--warning}
If the HackMii Installer doesn't load after more than 2 minutes, or you receive an error like `Hanging.` or `ERROR! if_config (ret = ...)`, please restart your Wii and try again.
{: .notice--warning}
If you have installed a mod like CTGP Revolution or Project+, str2hax may load that instead. If it does, restart your Wii and try again without your SD card inserted.

title: "Installing Wii Menu Themes on vWii"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Are you tired of the boring, plain white theme on your Wii Menu, and want a cool theme instead? This tutorial will help you get a new theme for your Wii Menu!
Installing a theme after installing Priiloader WILL BRICK YOUR VWII.
{: .notice--danger}
We are **NOT** responsible if you brick, or damage your console in any way whatsoever. If you follow this guide exactly, you shouldn't have any problems.
{: .notice--danger}
Do **NOT** install the themes made in this guide on an actual Wii. They are only compatible with the vWii System Menu and will brick an actual Wii.
{: .notice--danger}
There are some themes that aren't compatible with the vWii System Menu, they may result in anything from graphical glitches to a full theme brick. We recommend only using themes from [rc24.xyz/goodies/themes](https://rc24.xyz/goodies/themes/) since these are compatible with modern versions of the System Menu.
{: .notice--warning}
If you somehow happen to brick your vWii, [follow this guide](https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-vwii-unbrick-guide-by-garyodernichts.528329). ([Archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20200213194233/https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-vwii-unbrick-guide-by-garyodernichts.528329/))
{: .notice--info}
#### What You Need
* A Wii U with the Homebrew Channel installed.
* An SD card or USB drive
* A computer with Windows on it (or using Mono or Wine on Mac/Linux)
* [MyMenuifyMod](https://oscwii.org/library/app/MyMenuifyMod)
* [ThemeMii Mod](/assets/files/New_ThemeMii_MOD.zip)
* [NUS Downloader (vWii)](/assets/files/NUSDownloader-vwii.zip)
#### Theme Links
Below are some links to themes.
* [RiiConnect24 Themes Page](https://rc24.xyz/goodies/themes/)
* [GBAtemp Download](https://gbatemp.net/download/categories/other-files.166/)
* [Google Drive Repository](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1K1WQe36bGibsF4ZlAxZKU6ngNpjUnh5i)
* [Wii Themer](http://www.wiithemer.org/)
* [Wii Theme Team Creations v2](https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-theme-team-creations-v2.336596/)
Only themes from the RiiConnect24 Themes page have been tested on vWii. Themes from other sources may not be entirely compatible with vWii, use these at your own risk.
{: .notice--warning}
MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WARNINGS ABOVE BEFORE CONTINUING!
{: .notice--danger}
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Finding a Theme
* When choosing a theme, it is important to make sure that your theme is compatible with the vWii System Menu.
* Older themes for 3.X or 2.X are **NOT** compatible with vWii and may cause a brick if used.
* Most of the themes on RiiConnect24's theme page have been tested on vWii and they are known to work.
##### Section II - Downloading .app files
This assumes your vWii is on the latest Wii Menu version.
{: .notice--warning}
There are a couple of ways to get the .app files for your vWii System Menu, in this guide we'll be using the vWii version of NUS Downloader.
1. Extract the .zip file for NUS Downloader vWii and open the application
2. Click on `Database...`
3. Go to `System` > `System Menu` and select the version corresponding to your region as shown in the table below.
| Region | vWii Menu version |
| ------ | ----------------- |
| Japan | v608 |
| USA | v609 |
| Europe | v610 |
After selecting the correct version to download, check the box for `Create Decrypted Contents (*.app)`. Then, press the `Start NUS Download` Button on the top of the window.
![The database menu in NUS Downloader.](/images/Themes-vWii/NUSD-vWii_preview-database.png)
![The main menu of NUS downloader without the database menu open.](/images/Themes-vWii/NUSD-vWii_sysmenu-versions.png)
After the download has finished, search for the .app file corresponding to your region in the folder where NUS Downloader is.
| Region | .app file for your region |
| ------ | ------------------------- |
| Japan | 0000001c.app |
| USA | 0000001f.app |
| Europe | 00000022.app |
If you can't find the .app file, it's possible you have downloaded the wrong version of the Wii Menu and you'll need to try again.
After you find the .app file, copy it to the main directory of the folder containing ThemeMii. Then, copy a version of it to the theme folder in your SD card.
##### Section III - Building the Theme
1. Launch ThemeMii Mod.
2. Do not click `Download Base App`, ThemeMii does not have base .app files for vWii. If you download a base app, you must delete it in order to use the vWii .app file.
3. In ThemeMii select `File` -> `Open` and navigate to the .mym theme you downloaded earlier.
4. Click on `Create CSM` and select the .app file that you copied to the ThemeMii folder.
5. Now navigate to the `theme` folder on your SD card and save your theme with the .csm extension.
![ThemeMii Menu](/images/Themes-vWii/ThemeMii-Mod-Preview_vWii.png)
##### Section IV - Installing the Theme
1. Eject your SD card from your PC and put it into your Wii U.
2. Start the Homebrew Channel and launch MyMenuifyMod.
3. Select the .csm file you just created.
4. When it prompts you to install the theme say `Yes`, and wait for it to finish.
5. When it finishes installing, MyMenuifyMod will prompt you to either `Continue` or `Exit`, choose `Exit`.
If you did everything correctly, you should now have your custom theme installed on your Wii Menu.
##### Reverting to Original Theme
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel.
2. Launch MyMenuify and navigate to your theme folder.
3. Select the .app file you copied to the SD card at the end of section 2 as if you were installing a theme.
4. Select Install and wait until it finishes.
5. When it's done, you can exit MyMenuify.

{: .notice--info}
Are you tired of the boring, plain white theme on your Wii Menu, and want a cool theme instead? This tutorial will help you get a new theme for your Wii Menu!
To protect against bricks, [make sure you install Priiloader](priiloader). Also, install [BootMii](bootmii) (as Boot2 if you have an early Wii, otherwise IOS). Installing brick protection along with following the guide correctly should keep you safe from bricks. DO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL YOU HAVE INSTALLED PRIILOADER AND BOOTMII!
{: .notice--danger}
Only install themes on your Wii that have been formatted specifically for it, and its current region. Installing themes from the wrong region or version on your Wii will cause a brick. This tutorial will tell you how to create a .csm file that is safe to install.
{: .notice--danger}
This guide is intended for regular Wiis only. For installing themes on vWii (Wii U), follow [this page](themes-vwii).
{: .notice--warning}
For safety purposes, please do not use any other version of MyMenuify than the one linked here, as MyMenuify Mod is the safest way to install a theme.
{: .notice--warning}
Do not use any other version of ThemeMii than the one linked here, as ThemeMii Mod allows you to make a theme for Wii Menu version 4.3, other versions may not.
{: .notice--warning}
We recommend you [install cIOS](cios) before continuing.
{: .notice--info}
#### What you need
* A Wii
* An SD card or USB drive
* A computer with Windows on it (or using Mono or Wine on Mac/Linux)
* [MyMenuify Mod](https://oscwii.org/library/app/MyMenuifyMod)
* [ThemeMii Mod](/assets/files/New_ThemeMii_MOD.zip)
#### Theme Links

* [Wii Themer](http://www.wiithemer.org/)
* [Wii Theme Team Creations v2](https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-theme-team-creations-v2.336596/)
MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WARNINGS ABOVE BEFORE CONTINUING!
{: .notice--danger}
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Finding a Theme
* Find a theme you want to install. Some themes have YouTube videos to show what the theme looks like, but unfortunately some of the videos are no longer available.
* Once you found one you like, click the download link corresponding to your Wii Menu version. **It's very important to pick the correct version to avoid bricks.**
* You probably will pick the download link that says 4.X, that means the theme will work on version 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the Wii Menu.
* Some themes have different links for different regions, so pick the one corresponding to your Wii's region.
* There are other resources for Wii Menu themes, but they might be in csm form (ready to install on the Wii). If the csm doesn't match the version and region of your Wii Menu, try to convert it to mym with ThemeMii Mod, and then convert it back to csm with the instructions here using the version and region of your Wii Menu.
* Once you downloaded the theme you want and double-checked you got the right one, extract the .zip file for ThemeMii Mod and open the application.
##### Section II - Building the Theme
1. A dialog box will pop up telling you to only install themes if you have brick protection. If you installed Priiloader and/or BootMii (see the warning at the start of this guide), press OK.
2. Go to `Tools` > `Download Base App` > Version of your Wii Menu > Region of your Wii Menu
3. A dialog box will pop up asking you to enter in a value to create a key. Enter in what it says, it will create a key that will be used to decrypt the Wii Menu contents from Nintendo's servers.
4. A file selection box will ask you where to save the .app file (that is the Wii Menu content file it downloaded). Save it to the directory where ThemeMii is in.
5. Go to `Options` > `Standard System Menu` > Version of your Wii Menu > Region of your Wii Menu
6. Go to `File` > `Open`, then browse for where your .mym file is.
7. Press `Create csm`, then browse for a directory you want to save the theme in. Give it a moment to build the theme.
8. A dialog box will pop up asking you if you want to save the .mym. Press `No`.
##### Section III - Installing the Theme
1. Extract MyMenuifyMod.zip to your SD card or USB drive.
2. Put the .csm file you saved in a folder called `modthemes` on your SD card or USB drive.
3. Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii.
4. Launch MyMenuify Mod from the Homebrew Channel.
5. After an introduction message, it will ask you what IOS you want to use in the app. If you have [installed cIOS](cios), use `IOS249`, or else use `IOS58`. If the former gives an `Exception DSI occurred!` error, press Reset on the Wii console, launch it again, then try `IOS250`. It might take a couple attempts to reload the IOS.
6. Highlight the theme you want to install, then press A. Give it a moment to install the theme, then press any button to go to the Wii Menu. Hopefully, the theme installed correctly.
If you get an error saying "The system files are corrupted" or a black screen, don't panic as long as you installed Priiloader. Turn off your Wii, then hold down the RESET button down and turn on your Wii. You should be able to boot into the Priiloader menu, where you have some options to fix your Wii Menu. One of the options is to launch the Homebrew Channel, where you can launch MyMenuify Mod and press a button to download and install the original Wii Menu theme.

If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
This is a quick start guide on how to use USB Loader GX, a popular USB loader for the Wii that's used to play games from a USB drive.
Despite its name, USB Loader GX is also capable of loading games from an SD Card.
{: .notice--info}
![USB Loader GX](/images/usbloadergx.png)
#### What you need
* A Wii
* A USB drive or SD Card
* [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
Make sure you have installed [cIOS](/cios) before following this!
{: .notice--info}
We recommend you copy games over with [Wii Backup Manager](/wiibackupmanager) if you use Windows, [Witgui](https://desairem.com/wordpress/category/witgui-download/) if you use macOS, or [Wii Backup Fusion](https://github.com/larsenv/Wii-Backup-Fusion) for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
{: .notice--info}
If you want to play games that are in NKit format, use [this program](https://gbatemp.net/download/nkit.36157/) to convert them to ISO first.
{: .notice--info}
If you are not copying games using Wii Backup Manager, Witgui, or Wii Backup Fusion, make a folder on the root of the USB drive or SD card named "wbfs" and put the games in there.
{: .notice--info}
To play games, we recommend using an external hard drive for your Wii. Flash drives are not recommended, and may vary in behavior even between the same product.
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT or extFS. <br> You may format it as NTFS, but it won't work with a majority of apps (eg. The Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)
{: .notice--info}
#### Instructions
##### Downloading
1. Extract USB Loader GX and put it in the `apps` folder on your USB drive or SD card.
2. Insert your USB drive, and SD card if you're using one, into your Wii and launch USB Loader GX from the Homebrew Channel.
##### Getting Started
There is no "guide" to use the USB Loader GX app. This is intended to help you learn how to use it, by giving you a quick start. You should be able to figure out all the great features of USB Loader GX by using it.
{: .notice--info}
* If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 seconds countdown, it's likely that it can't find the USB drive. Try to exit out of the app, and then relaunch it after you put the USB drive in the other port of the Wii.
* You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending on how many games you have.
* There are WADs that can open up USB Loader GX if you load it from the Wii Menu. This is called a forwarder WAD. An official forwarder WAD can be found [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad), and a version for the vWii (Wii U) can be found [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT_vWii%20%28Fix%29.wad).
* GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in config/GXGlobal.cfg on your USB drive. Then you can use the "Custom Banner" download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
##### User Interface
There are multiple buttons in the USB Loader GX interface.
###### Main Menu
These are the functions the buttons found on the top of the main menu do, from left to right:
* Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
* Search - Lets you search for games by name.
* Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
* Platform - Choose to sort games by platform.
* Category - Sorts games by category.
* List - Shows games in a list view.
* Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
* Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
* Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
* Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
* Disc - Loads a game via disc.
Pressing any game will allow you to play the game by pressing "Start".
There are also other buttons:
* (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it.
* Gears - Settings for USB Loader GX.
* SD card - Remount the SD card.
* Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
* Wii - Open up the HOME Menu, which can also be accessed by pressing the HOME Button on the Wii Remote.
* Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

Do NOT make a shortcut for the games "Mario Party 9" or "A Boy and His Blob". It will brick your Wii.
{: .notice--warning}
#### What you need

![Wiimmfi Logo](/images/WiiWiimmfiLogo.jpg)
[Wiimmfi](https://wiimmfi.de) is a replacement service for the now-defunct Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It has been developed by Wiimm and Leseratte.
If you get the error 23904 while connecting to Wiimmfi, then you are using an outdated patch.<br> Follow the steps below for the method you're using to connect to Wiimmfi again.<br> See [this page](https://wiimmfi.de/update) for more details.<br>
{: .notice--warning}
## Different patchers
There are lots of different methods to connect to Wiimmfi. Choose the one that fits your needs best.
### Automatic patching from the Disc Channel using Priiloader
#### What you need
- A Wii with Priiloader 0.9 or later installed
If you have an older version of Priiloader or don't have it installed, follow [this guide](priiloader) to update/install it.
{: .notice--info}
#### Instructions
1. Hold the RESET button while turning on your Wii.
- If you are using a Wii mini, plug in a USB keyboard and hold Escape on it while turning it on.
![Turn on](/images/Priiloader/on.jpg) ![Hold RESET](/images/Priiloader/reset.jpg)
2. You should see the Priiloader menu. ![Menu](/images/Priiloader/mainmenu.jpg)
3. Go to `System Menu Hacks`.
If you are using a USB drive to install Priiloader, make sure you do not have an SD card inserted at the same time. This will cause Priiloader to be unable to find the hacks_hash.ini file.
{: .notice--info}
4. Make sure the `Wiimmfi patch v4` hack is enabled. ![System Menu Hacks](/images/Priiloader/hacks.jpg)
1. Scroll down to `save settings` and press A, then press B to go back to the main menu of Priiloader.
1. Scroll to `System Menu` and press A to launch it.
1. Launch your game through the Disc channel. It should be patched with Wiimmfi.
If you see the hack `Wiimmfi patch v2` or `Wiimmfi patch v3` instead, then you do not have the latest version of the hacks_hash.ini file, and you need to [re-install Priiloader](priiloader). Then, repeat the previous steps.
{: .notice--warning}
### Homebrew (Disc) Application
MrBean35000vr (creator of CTGP-R, a Mario Kart Wii content pack) created a Wiimmfi Disc Patcher that allows you to insert a disc and patch the game on-the-fly for Wiimmfi use, though this must be run every time you start the disc.
#### What you need
- An SD card or USB drive
- [Auto Wiimmfi Patcher](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiimmfipatcher)
#### Instructions
1. Extract Auto Wiimmfi Patcher to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
2. Insert your SD Card into your Wii, and launch Auto Wiimmfi Patcher from the Homebrew Channel.
3. Insert your game disc (you can insert it before or after launch, it doesn't matter).
4. Wait for patch to complete, and it'll begin!
### No-Homebrew (Disc)
#### str2hax Method
Thanks to Fullmetal5's str2hax exploit, which Leseratte was able to adapt for the Wiimmfi patcher, you can run the Wiimmfi patch without having any homebrew on your Wii.
##### What you need
- A Wii with an Internet connection
##### Instructions
1. Insert your game disc.
2. Go into your internet connection settings and set the DNS server of your console to 95.217.77.151.
3. Go to the WC24 contract information (third button after clicking on "Internet" in the settings).
4. Confirm that you do want to use WC24 and the shop channel
5. The Wiimmfi patcher page should show up. If it doesn't, and you still see the default license agreement, your router might not be compatible with this method.
6. Wait for about 1 minute and 30 seconds for the patcher to load
7. The game should now start with the Wiimmfi patch included
#### DNS Method
There's an easy method to patch games to use Wiimmfi that can be used whether or not you have homebrew on your Wii. It works on some older games, such as Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but not every game.
##### Instructions
1. Go to `Wii Options`.
2. Go to `Wii Settings`.
3. Go to `Page 2`, then click on `Internet`.
4. Go to `Connection Settings`.
5. Select your current connection.
6. Go to `Change Settings`.
7. Go to `Auto-Obtain DNS` (Not IP Address), then select `No`, then `Advanced Settings`.
8. Type in `95.217.77.181` as the primary DNS.
9. Type in `1.1.1.1` as the secondary DNS.
10. Select `Confirm`, then select `Save`.
11. Select `OK` to perform a connection test.
12. If the connection test was successful, select `No` to skip the Wii System Update.
If you get error 20100 or 20110, that means the game is too new for this method.
{: .notice--warning}
If you get error 23400, that means your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network is blocking the use of a custom DNS. <br> Wiimmfi has a DNS sever you can run on your PC to solve this. [Read more here.](https://wiimmfi.de/patcher/dnspatch#customdns)
{: .notice--warning}
### Automatic patching using a USB Loader
If you are already using USB Loader GX, try updating it to the most recent version. Then, there should be a "private server" setting (both in the global loader options and in the game options) which you can set to "Wiimmfi" to make the USB Loader automatically patch every game you start to work with Wiimmfi.
### ISO Patching
You may not want to run a patcher each time you want to play on Wiimmfi, and maybe you already use a USB Loader. As such, ISO Patchers were created, some for specific games.
#### What you need
- Your copy of your game (WBFS, ISO, cISO, and other forms that a Wii can use are supported).
- [RiiConnect24 Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/RiiConnect24-Patcher/releases/) (Windows and Unix)
**or**
- [Wiimmfi Patcher (cross-platform)](https://download.wiimmfi.de/patcher/wiimmfi-patcher-latest.zip)
- A USB Loader, [cIOS](cios), and a USB to store the game on (you should already have these if you're using a USB Loader)
#### Instructions
1. Extract the patcher of your choice to a folder, and place your copy of the game in it.
2. Run the patch script for your OS: usually it will end in `.bat` for Windows and `.sh` for Mac/Linux. If you're using the RiiConnect24 Patcher, select your device (Wii, vWii, or Dolphin) and choose the patcher for your game.
3. Once it's finished, get the version out of the `wiimmfi-images` folder (it may be in the folder outside of the patcher - ../wiimmfi-images) and copy it back to your USB.
### WiiWare Patching
You can patch WiiWare games in order to play them on Wiimmfi.
#### What you need
- An SD card
- Your copy of your game (in WAD format)
- [RiiConnect24 Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/RiiConnect24-Patcher/releases/) (Windows and Unix)
**or**
- [WiiWare Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/WiiWare-Patcher/releases) (cross platform)
- [Wii Mod Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/WiiModLite)
[If you want to see how to use the WiiWare Patcher, click here!](wiiwarepatcher)
{: .notice--info}
Steps:
1. Extract the .zip of the latest version of WiiWare Patcher, and put your WAD in it.
2. Run the patch script for your OS: usually it will end in `.bat` for Windows and `.sh` for Mac/Linux. If you're using the RiiConnect24 Patcher, select your device (Wii, vWii, or Dolphin) and choose the WiiWare patcher.
3. If it completed successfully, install the WAD that was made in `wiiware-wads` with Wii Mod Lite.
## Other stuff
### Mario Kart Wii Competitions
Wiimmfi allows you to participate in Mario Kart Wii competitions again.
#### What you need
- An SD card or USB drive
- Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher
- [Wii](https://oscwii.org/library/app/competition-tool-wii)
- [Wii U (vWii)](https://competitions.wiimmfi.de/competition-tool-wiiu.zip)
#### Instructions (for Wii)
1. Extract Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD Card.
2. Insert your SD card or USB drive into the Wii.
3. Launch the original Mario Kart Wii game (not Wiimmfi patched).
4. Navigate to Settings -> Network Settings (or Nintendo WFC Connection) -> Message Service. If you turned the message service feature on, turn it off and turn it on again.
5. Launch Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher.
6. The patcher will look for save files for Mario Kart Wii on your storage device in various places, and upload them. This is done in case a missing competition is found in your save file. It will also, of course, patch your Wii for competitions.
If you're using the Wii U, you will have to run the competitions patcher whenever you want to check for a competition, because WiiConnect24 is not enabled on the Wii U.
{: .notice--info}
### DS Games
Wiimmfi doesn't only support Wii games, it supports lots of DS games too. Thanks to an exploit called nds-constraint, you can play DS games online without patching your games.
#### What you need
- A Wi-Fi network with WEP or no security
Getting a Wi-Fi network with WEP or no security is the hardest part, because DS games don't support newer Wi-Fi security types. However, many routers support creating a guest Wi-Fi connection, or you can make a hotspot on your phone or your computer. There are plenty of resources on the Internet that have information on this, so use your favorite search engine to find them.
{: .notice--info}
Some games are DSi enhanced which means you can play games online without having only WEP or no security on your router if you have a DSi or 3DS. Pokémon Black and Pokémon White are DSi enhanced. In order to make use of it, follow the instructions below via the DSi or 3DS Wi-Fi settings. Those are separate from the DS Wi-Fi settings.
{: .notice--info}
#### Instructions
1. Go in the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi settings. This can be accessed inside the game you want to play online with.
2. Set up a connection.
3. Type in `167.86.108.126` as the primary DNS.
4. Type in `1.1.1.1` as the secondary DNS.
5. Save your connection settings and perform a connection test. If it's successful, then you're ready to play.
If you get error 20110, that means your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network is blocking the use of a DNS. You can use our [DNS-Server](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/DNS-Server/releases/latest) program to bypass this.
{: .notice--warning}
You cannot use Sudomemo, which revives Flipnote Studio on the DSi, if you're using this DNS. If you want to use Sudomemo instead of playing games on Wiimmfi, you will have to set your primary DNS to `104.248.0.110` on Wi-Fi settings on your DSi or 3DS, not the DS Wi-Fi settings. Or you can use their [DNS-Server](https://github.com/Sudomemo/sudomemoDNS) program.
{: .notice--warning}
### Mario Kart Wii Mods
#### CTGP-R
MrBean35000vr and Chadderz have a custom track distribution called CTGP-R that allows you to use a set of custom tracks and has automatic Wiimmfi patching. Go to the [ChadSoft website](http://chadsoft.co.uk) for the download and instructions.
#### MKW Hack Pack
PhillyG has put together a collection of custom tracks and hacks called MKW Hack Pack, and allows connections to Wiimmfi. To learn how to set it up, go to the [wiki page](http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/MKW_Hack_Pack).
#### Wiimms Mario Kart Fun
Wiimm and Leseratte make a custom track distribution called "Wiimms MKW Fun", which gets updated about three times a year. It is based on the LE-CODE framework by Leseratte, has Wiimmfi support, and lots of other features. You can find out more about it on its [wiki page](http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Wiimms_Mario_Kart_Fun).

![Wilbrand](/images/wilbrand/icon.png)
Wilbrand, like LetterBomb, is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board.
Unlike LetterBomb, Wilbrand supports Wii menu versions down to 3.0.
{: .notice--info}
There are two methods listed on this page used to create the proper Wilbrand exploit. Wilbrand Web is recommended for its ease of use.
{: .notice--info}
### Wilbrand Web (Recommended)
#### What you need
- An SD card formatted to FAT32/MS-DOS
- A Wii on at least version 3.0
SD cards larger than 2GB will not work on Wii menu versions before 4.0.
{: .notice--warning}

title: "BlueBomb"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
It is **strongly** advised against using **any** video guide for hacking your Wii mini console, as there is an extremely large chance of **bricking** it.
{: .notice--warning}
If you need help with anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the Wii mini Hacking Discord server](https://discord.gg/6ryxnkS) (recommended)
{: .notice--info}
![BlueBomb](/images/bluebomb.png)
BlueBomb is an exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini's Bluetooth libraries. Although it is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, BlueBomb can run on the original Wii as well. This exploit also enables recovery from certain bricks, such as a banner brick.
For the original Wii, we do not recommend using BlueBomb if you intend to install the Homebrew Channel and BootMii, as there are more convenient exploits available.
{: .notice--info}
#### Section I - What you need
- A Linux machine
- A Virtual Machine may work, but it is not recommended due to its complexity in getting Bluetooth passthrough working. If possible, please use a LiveUSB as described below.
- If you have a Raspberry Pi, you can use that instead as it most likely has Linux installed already.
- Windows Subsystem for Linux or a Chromebook running Linux mode will *not work* as they don't have direct access to the Bluetooth adapter or USB ports.
- If you do not have Linux, [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop) is the most user-friendly option and can be ran on computers running Windows or Mac.
- 32-bit devices will require [Ubuntu 16.04](http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/).
- For 64-bit devices it is recommended to use the LTS edition due to its stability, but the latest release works as well.
- You can [flash a Linux Live environment to a USB flash drive](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview) instead of installing it to your computer.
- A Bluetooth adapter.
- An internal Bluetooth adapter will work.
- If you do not have one, make sure to get one compatible with Linux.
- A USB flash drive formatted as FAT32.
- This cannot be the same flash drive used for your Linux Machine.
#### Section II - Performing the exploit
1. Download the HackMii installer from [the BootMii website](https://bootmii.org/download/).
- (If attempting to fix a brick, you should also copy the homebrew app you wish to use to /apps/)
1. Extract it and place the `boot.elf` file in your flash drive.
- (Even for a Wii mini, bootmini.elf will **not** work, its purpose is entirely different and unrelated. Use boot.elf in all cases). 1. Connect the flash drive to the console. For a Wii mini, the USB port is on the back. For a normal Wii, use the bottom port. (or the right port if it's upright). 1. Turn on your console and navigate to the settings menu. On the top right corner you will see a 4-character code like the one in the picture below. This code is your Wii Menu version, take a note of this as you will need it later. Afterwards, turn your console off. ![SystemMenuVersion](/images/Wii/SystemMenuVersion.png)
1. Start your Linux distro, and ensure you are connected to the internet.
1. Open the Terminal
1. Run the following commands:
```bash
wget https://wii.guide/assets/files/bluebomb-helper.sh
chmod +x bluebomb-helper.sh
./bluebomb-helper.sh
```
1. The helper will then download the required files, and ask for information about your console.
- If you have selected a Wii mini you will be asked to provide your region. This can be determined by the last letter of the Wii Menu version (`U` for **USA** and `E` for **PAL** models).
- If you have selected a Wii you will be asked to provide your Wii Menu Version (What you determined in step 4)
1. Turn on your console and **do not** connect any Wii Remotes.
1. Press the Sync button repeatedly until the terminal shows `got connection handle`. This could take numerous attempts, so don't give up.
Make sure that the console is close to the computer running the exploit, ideally it should be less than 3 feet.
{: .notice--info}
The console should now boot to the HackMii installer. You can now shut down your Linux computer if you are not planning to use it later.

title: "BootMii Backup"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
![BootMii Logo](/images/bootmii.png)
You need an **SD card** to create a NAND backup using BootMii. If you do not have one, you can skip this page, although it is highly recommended to make a NAND backup if you can.
{: .notice--warning}
BootMii as boot2 is recommended, but only available to install on early Wii consoles. Otherwise, it can only be installed as an IOS.
{: .notice--info}
One of BootMii's most important features is the ability to backup and restore your Wii's NAND storage. We will be going over how to perform a NAND backup. You can then restore from that backup for any reason. It's a good idea to make a NAND backup regularly or before doing something risky to your console (and if you know what you're doing, you won't have to do anything risky).
#### Requirements
- An SD card with at least 512MB of free space
#### Instructions
If you have BootMii installed as boot2 you will need to launch BootMii by restarting the console. Skip steps 1 and 2 if this is the case.
{: .notice--info}
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel.
1. Press the HOME Button, then select "Launch BootMii". ![BootMii_Main](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Main.png)
If the `Launch BootMii` button does not appear, please [re-launch the HackMii Installer](hackmii) and install BootMii.
{: .notice--info}
Navigating BootMii is not possible using a Wii Remote. You must use the POWER and RESET buttons on your console, or a GameCube controller plugged into port 1. To navigate between options, press POWER on your Wii (or left/right on the +Control Pad on a GameCube controller). To select an option, press RESET on your Wii or A on your GameCube controller.
{: .notice--info}
If the screen stays black and the blue disc drive light is blinking, you are missing the BootMii files on your SD card. Download [this zip file](https://static.hackmii.com/bootmii_sd_files.zip) and extract it to the root of your SD card, then try again.
{: .notice--warning}
1. Select the Options button (the icon with the gears). ![BootMii_Gears_Icon](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Gears_Icon.png)
1. Select the BackupMii button. ![BootMii_Green_Arrow](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Green_Arrow.png)
- A NAND backup will start. You can watch the progress on the screen.
- "Bad Blocks" are normal. Don't worry when you see some on a NAND backup.
- After this step, it will verify the backup. Ideally, all the blocks should be green after the verification process.
1. When the backup is complete, exit the NAND backup screen by pressing any button. ![BootMii_NAND_Backup](/images/BootMii/BootMii_NAND_Backup.png)
1. To exit BootMii, press the Back button (the one with the arrow) and then you can press either the Wii Menu button or the Homebrew Channel button to exit where you want to. ![BootMii_Return_Arrow](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Return_Arrow.png)
<div id="restore-notice" class="notice" markdown="1">
To restore from a NAND backup on your SD card, you can follow the instructions for [RestoreMii](bootmiirecover).
Please be reminded that <strong>restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort,</strong> and that there often better ways to fix your brick.
Try your best to [identify your brick condition](bricks) and reverse the action that caused it in the first place.
</div>
To make sure you dont lose the files, it's recommended to copy `nand.bin` and `keys.bin` from the root of your SD card to your computer.
{: .notice--info}
[Continue to Priiloader Installation](priiloader)<br> Priiloader adds a level of brick protection, and is highly recommended, especially if you were only able to install BootMii as IOS.

title: "BootMii Recovery (RestoreMii)"
---
#### What you need
- An earlier NAND Backup made by [BootMii](https://wii.guide/bootmii)
- A GameCube Controller*
#### Important notes
<strong> Restoring a NAND backup is usually a last resort.</strong>
If you are even able to enter BootMii, enter the Homebrew Channel instead, and try your best to [identify what caused the brick](bricks) and reverse it.
* If you have not done anything to cause a brick (or you're starting up your Wii after a long time), then it is probably a [Wi-Fi Brick](bricks#wi-fi-brick).
<strong>Family edition Wiis (Wiis without GameCube ports) CANNOT restore NAND backups.</strong>
Family edition Wiis released very well after [boot1 was patched](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Family_Edition#Changes_carried_over_from_previous_revisions), which means you will not have BootMii as boot2.
If you do not have BootMii as boot2, RestoreMii will prompt you for the Konami code via a GameCube Controller.
Family edition Wiis do not have ports for GameCube controllers.
<strong>Restoring an unverified NAND backup may lead to a WORSE BRICK.</strong>
The same also goes for faulty SD cards.
<strong>Want to restore individual data from your NAND backup?</strong>
There is likely a much safer and faster way to bring it back to your Wii, likely involving the use of Dolphin Emulator.
For example, if you want to restore your Wii Message Board data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, find `Wii/title/00000001/00000002/data/cdb.vff`, copy it to your SD card as `cdbackup.vff`, and use [cdbackup](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cdbackup) to restore it.
If you want to restore a game's save data, use Dolphin to import your NAND backup, use `Tools > Export All Wii Saves` to export all your saves to your SD card, and use Data Management to move it to your Wii.
#### Instructions
If you have BootMii installed as boot2, you will need to launch BootMii by restarting the console. Skip steps 1 and 2 if this is the case.
{: .notice}
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel.
2. Press the HOME Button, then select "Launch BootMii".
You must use the POWER (right) and RESET (select) buttons on your console, or a GameCube controller plugged into port 1. To navigate with a GameCube controller, click left/right on the +Control Pad on a GameCube controller. To select, press A.
{: .notice--info}
3. Select the Options button (the icon with the gears). ![BootMii_Gears_Icon](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Gears_Icon.png)
4. Select the RestoreMii button. ![BootMii_Red_Arrow](/images/BootMii/BootMii_Red_Arrow.png)
5. On your GameCube controller, input the Konami code: ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, START
6. After the recovery ended, you should see a text say `I HAZ SUCCESS!`, otherwise `I HAZ FAIL`. Hit any button on your Wii console or GCN controller.

title: "Bricks"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
A "Brick" usually means your Wii has reached a state where, it's only use is that of a literal [brick](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick). <br> Bricks can occur for a variety of reasons, usually caused by improper system modifications via homebrew.
Here, we will discuss the different types of bricks, as well as some potential solutions.
## Banner brick
#### Cause
Banner bricks occur when a corrupted WAD file is installed on the system menu.
#### Solutions
If you have [Priiloader](priiloader) installed, enter it by holding RESET while turning your Wii on. Select Homebrew Channel, then use your WAD manager to uninstall the faulty WAD.
If you do not have Priiloader, Maintenance mode may be worth a try. Hold down `+` and `-` on the Health and Safety screen. (do not press `A`!)
If you are fortunate enough to get to the Wii menu, enter the Homebrew Channel and uninstall the faulty WAD.
## Theme brick
#### Cause
A theme brick occurs when a wrongly formatted theme is installed.
#### Solutions
To resolve this issue, open HBC through Priiloader and access MyMenuifyMOD to install a default theme.
## Semibrick
#### Cause
A semibrick occurs when a different region System Menu or a different region custom theme is installed. This causes the Wii to fail to find the Wii settings page files. ![Semibrick](/images/bricks/semibrick.png)
#### Solutions
If this was caused by a theme you installed, use MyMenuifyMod to re-download the original theme file.
If this was caused by a System menu WAD you installed, use [NUS Downloader](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUSD) to re-obtain your original system menu.
Be cautious when downloading the System menu WAD. Make sure to pick the same version with the corrected region.
{: .notice--danger}
If you are actually in the process of a region change, use [ARC-ME](https://github.com/modmii/Any-Region-Changer-ModMii-Edition/releases) to automatically fix all your region settings to match your System menu.
## System Menu brick
#### Cause
This brick is a more fatal version of a [Semibrick](#semibrick). If your SYSCONF gets corrupt or damaged, the Wii will regenerate it and start the setup phase.
However, the setup pages are in a similar location to the Wii settings pages. If you have an incorrect region System menu or theme, the Wii cannot find them. ![System menu brick](/images/bricks/sysmenu-brick.png)
#### Solutions
If you still have [Priiloader](priiloader), use it to enter the Homebrew Channel and re-install the original theme file/original System menu.
In case you do not have Priiloader, you can try [BlueBomb](bluebomb).
## Mail brick
#### Cause
A mail brick happens when your Wii has a lot of mail. This will make the Wii crash.
#### Solutions
To fix a mail brick, enter Maintenance mode by holding `+` and `-` on the Health and Safety screen. (do not press `A`!) <br> Enter the Homebrew Channel, and use [cdbackup](https://oscwii.org/library/app/cdbackup) to delete your message board data.
## Wi-Fi brick
#### Cause
This brick arises when your Wii's Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) module is damaged or not inserted properly. In such cases, the Wii gets stuck on a black screen while awaiting a response from IOS.
You can try and differentiate by checking if your Wii remote still powers on your Wii.
This will also happen on the Wii mini if you install a normal Wii IOS, because the Wii Mini does not have a Wi-Fi module.
#### Solutions
To resolve this problem, you can try reseat or replace the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module.
If you are on a Wii Mini, you must install a Wi-Fi module.
## Error 003 Brick
#### Cause
This brick happens when a non-Korean System Menu on 4.2 or 4.3 detects that the Korean key is present.
This is usually an immediate follow-up to a Wii System Update on an unsuspecting region-changed Korean Wii. ![Error 003](/images/bricks/error-003.png)
#### Solutions
Since this brick most often occurs after the System menu updates, Priiloader will not be present.
Korean Wiis also released with System menu 3.3, around the time that Nintendo [fixed the Trucha bug in boot1](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/3.3#Changes), so BootMii as Boot2 cannot be installed to any Korean Wii.
The only way to fix this brick is a way to launch homebrew by launching a game through the Recovery menu.
## IOS brick
#### Cause
This brick happens when the System menu's IOS is a [stub](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Stub_IOS). This is usually the consequence of attempting to downgrade your Wii menu.
#### Solutions
You must have BootMii as boot2 to fix this brick. Priiloader will not load.
{: .notice}
You can either restore a NAND backup, or do this:
1. Use [NUS Downloader](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/NUSD) to pack a WAD of your original System menu.
1. Use BootMii to enter the Homebrew Channel, and use a WAD manager to install the System menu WAD.
## Low-level brick
#### Cause
This brick occurs when boot1/boot2 is corrupt.
#### Solutions
You can only recover by using a NAND programmer.

Here's a list of things you should and should not do once you've modded your Wii, to make sure you don't brick it.
#### List
- **DO** make sure you've installed [BootMii](bootmii) and [Priiloader](priiloader) to make sure you don't brick your Wii.
- **DO** make a backup of your Wii NAND regularly with [BootMii](bootmii), especially before doing something risky.
- **DO** install Wii Menu themes if you wish, but only use our tutorial for it carefully. ([Wii](themes) / [vWii](themes-vwii)). Other tutorials might be misleading and can cause you to brick your Wii.
- **DO NOT** install WADs of random IOS, older versions of the Wii Menu, etc. unless you know what you're doing, especially not on vWii or a Wii Mini.
- **DO NOT** use old versions of Wii homebrew. If you follow Wii modding tutorials from the Internet, be cautious about using old tutorials (likely pre-2012), especially if they have to do with things such as IOS.
- **DO NOT** modify, rename, or delete random files on your Wii NAND unless you know what you are doing.
- **DO NOT** use the homebrew app "KoreanKii" on a non-Korean Wii.
- **DO NOT** Install any IOS or Wii Menu on a Wii mini other than [d2xl cIOS](cios-mini). Doing so will brick your console if a Wi-Fi card is not soldered to it.
- **DO NOT** use any Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection replacement on your Wii except for [Wiimmfi](wiimmfi) unless you have an RCE patch code. Unfortunately, other replacement servers are vulnerable to an exploit that can brick your Wii if you use them. An RCE patch code will patch the exploit. [RiiConnect24](riiconnect24) and [WiiLink](wiilink) are safe to use as well.
- **DO NOT** restore NANDs from other Wiis to your console via BootMii.
- **DO NOT** use the homebrew app "Pimp my Wii". The tool is dangerous and does things that can make your Wii unstable. The features of Pimp my Wii are available on other safer apps.
If you follow these guidelines, you won't have to worry about bricking your Wii. Wii modding is safe, and bricks usually occur due to something done by the user that is on this list.
Continue to installing cIOS<br> cIOS are used to play games with a USB Loader. It's also useful for many other homebrew apps.

If using a regular Wii, follow [this guide](cios) to install cIOS.

![RiiConnect24 Wii Logo Yellow](/images/Wii_Yellow_Gray.jpg)
### How risky is hacking my console?
Bricks (a state where either some parts of your Wii software are not working, or your Wii is not working at all) are extremely rare unless you ignore/circumvent all safety checks, or do something risky or naive like installing an older version of the Wii Menu. Make sure you install [BootMii](bootmii) and [Priiloader](priiloader) to protect yourself from bricks!
### Where should I go for support?
You can join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net) for assistance.
### What are the SD card requirements and/or recommendations?
You will need an SD card with at least 128MB to run an exploit.
- If you are using the BlueBomb, str2hax, or FlashHax exploits, you do not need an SD card.
To store homebrew applications, we recommend an SD card with at least 2 GB.
### I got error code XXXXXX, how to fix it?
In order to check what the reason for the error is, please visit the [Wiimmfi error page](https://wiimmfi.de/error).
### What are the limitations in vWii modding?
The following is a list of things that can potentially **BRICK** your vWii (don't do these things!):
* Installing IOS for a Wii console on vWii.
* Installing Wii menu themes not formatted correctly for vWii and/or your region.
* Installing BootMii.
* Failure during the install of crucial system/IOS titles (e.g. power outage).
* Modifying the vWii NAND without knowing what you are doing.
### How can I remove parental controls?
The [mkey generator](https://mkey.salthax.org) can generate the code required to remove parental controls.

FlashHax is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered by using the Internet Channel. Unlike other exploits, this doesn't require an SD card.
#### What you need
- A Wii with an Internet connection
- The Internet Channel
#### Instructions
1. Open up the Internet Channel on your Wii.
2. Go to flashhax.com in the browser and bookmark the page.
3. Open the site from the bookmark. It'll then proceed to download and load the HackMii Installer. It may take some time as it is downloading the installer over the Internet.
If the HackMii Installer doesn't load and it instead freezes (you can't move your cursor), please restart your Wii and repeat step 3 until it works. It might take multiple tries, be persistent!
If you still can't get it to load, try deleting your cookies or save data for the Internet Channel.

GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
#### What you need
- An SD card or USB drive
- [GameCube Backup Manager](https://github.com/AxionDrak/GameCube-Backup-Manager/releases)
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.
{: .notice--info}
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Downloading
1. Extract GameCube Backup Manager, and launch the program.
2. Insert your USB drive into your computer.
##### Section II - Copying Games Over
1. Open the application and locate the folder button in the bottom right corner. Click on it to open the file explorer window.
2. Navigate to the location of the game file you want to transfer. This could be on your computer's hard drive or an external storage device. Once you find the file, select it by clicking on it.
3. Click on the `Files (Destination)` tab, then select the `Inactive` option from the dropdown menu. This will allow you to choose the drive where you want to transfer the game. Select the appropriate drive letter from the list.
4. Next, go back to the `Files (Source)` tab, select the game you want to transfer, and then click either `Install Game (1:1)` or `Install Game (Scrub)`.
Selecting `Install Game (Scrub)` will remove unnecessary data from the game, reducing the game's file size.

You can now use the Homebrew Channel to launch homebrew apps. Open Shop Channel is a one-stop shop for downloading homebrew, which you will learn how to install further in this guide.
Here's a tip - when installing homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:
![Proper SD Card Folder Structure](images/Wii/FolderStructure.png)
`AppName1` and `AppName2` are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple `apps` folders inside the `apps` folder itself.
[Continue to making a NAND Backup using BootMii](bootmii)<br> Making a NAND backup with BootMii at this point is highly recommended.
{: .notice--info}
If you couldn't install BootMii, continue to [installing Priiloader](priiloader).

## What is "homebrew"?
[**Homebrew**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_(video_games)) refers to software not authorized by Nintendo. This can include games, utilities, emulators and much more!
Running homebrew on your Nintendo Wii can be done for free by exploiting bugs in Wii's software. The modifications installed by following this guide will give you easy and persistent access to Wii homebrew.
## What can I do with homebrew?
Here's a list of things you can do using homebrew. While this list is by no means totally comprehensive, you should have a good idea of what is possible, and the guide will help you easily get started.
- Patch game disc contents (allowing you to load game modifications) using [Riivolution](riivolution).
- Install themes to your Wii Menu using [MyMenuify](themes).
- Install a USB Loader like [WiiFlow](wiiflow) or [USB Loader GX](usbloadergx) to launch all your favorite titles from a USB storage device and more.
- Back up your discs with [CleanRip](/dump-games) and installed games and titles with [YABDM](dump-wads)
- Back up and restore your Wii save files with [SaveGame Manager GX](https://wiidatabase.de/downloads/wii-tools/savegame-manager-gx-beta/)
- Back up and restore your gamecube save files using [GCMM](gcsaves)
- Download new homebrew apps with the [Homebrew Browser](hbb)
- Restore discontinued online services, such as [Nintendo WFC services](wiimmfi) & WiiConnect24 services by using [Riiconnect24](riiconnect24) or [WiiLink](wiilink).
- [Backup](bootmii) and [restore](bootmiirecover) copies of your Wii system memory (NAND) using [BootMii](hbc).
- Protect your Wii from bricks using [Priiloader](priiloader) and [BootMii](bootmii).
- Turn your Wii into a media player with [WiiMC](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiimc-ss).
## Ready?
Get started by [choosing your exploit](get-started)!

![LetterBomb](/images/letterbomb.png)
LetterBomb is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board.
#### What you need
- An SD card formatted to FAT32/MS-DOS
- A Wii on System Menu version 4.3
#### Instructions
1. On your Wii, go to `Wii Settings` -> `Internet` -> `Console Information` and make note of your MAC address.
1. Visit [please.hackmii.com](https://please.hackmii.com/), input your Wii MAC and region, ensure `Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!` is checked, and cut either wire.
![HackMii Screen](/images/Wii/LetterBomb-PC.png)
1. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP to the root of your SD card.
1. Take out your SD card and insert it in your Wii.
- The SD card must be inserted in the SD card slot located in the front of the Wii. Using a USB adapter plugged into the Wii's USB port will not work.
1. On your Wii, return to the Wii Menu and then open the Wii Message Board.
1. Load the red letter with a bomb icon.
- Ensure the date on your Wii is correct, otherwise you might be unable to find the letter.
- In various scenarios, you may need to look at the previous or next day to find it.
- If you don't see the red letter, check if any errors appear in the SD card sections in `Data Management`. If any do, there may be an issue with the SD card format or the Wiis SD card reader.
- If your Wii freezes after clicking on the letter, you probably chose the wrong region when downloading the exploit. Redo Step 2 and select the correct region.

{: .notice--info}
This Program does NOT come with a warranty, so you are responsible for any potential damage done to your Wii.
{: .notice--warning}
This program is NOT intended to be used for the vWii or the Wii mini. Some tools may or may not work for these platforms.
{: .notice--warning}
![Modmii](/images/Modmii/modmii.png)
Modmii is a PC program for windows created by XFlak that has various helpful tools for modding, including some tutorials that may not be currently available here on the [wii.guide](site-navigation) website. <br> You can choose to launch in Modmii skin, which has a more user friendly approach, or launch in Modmii Classic, which interacts like a PC terminal or command prompt.
Some advanced options may not be accessible in Modmii Skin. A list of the various activities for Modmii Classic can be found at the bottom of the page.
{: .notice--info}
#### What you need
* A Wii
* A USB drive or SD Card
* A Windows PC (a Virtual Machine will work)
* [Modmii](https://modmii.github.io/)
This is a quick start guide on how to use Modmii on your Windows PC.
## ModMii Wizard
You can use the ModMii wizard to softmod any Wii. <br> Even if the Wii has been softmodded in the past, you can have ModMii overwrite existing softmods by telling ModMii that this is the first time you're modding your Wii (even though it's not).
You can also use this wizard to set up a USB loader at the same time, instead of having to use the USB Loader setup wizard later on.
## SysCheck Updater Wizard
[SysCheck](syscheck) is a homebrew application that analyzes the modifications on a Wii. <br> You can give a SysCheck report to ModMii to help identify & update outdated mods.
You can have ModMii analyze a SysCheck by dragging the `syscheck.csv` file onto ModMii.exe. Or, you can launch the SysCheck Updater Wizard (`SU`) from ModMii's main menu and manually browse for the file.
## HackMii Solutions Wizard
The HackMii Solutions wizard can help fix symptoms like these:
- HackMii Installer not prompting "Press (1) to continue"
- HackMii Installer says "no vulnerable IOS found!"
- Homebrew Channel is displaying upside-down
It will install clean IOSs to allow for the HackMii Installer to operate properly.
## Abstinence Wizard
This wizard requires an SD card.
{: .notice--warning}
This wizard allows you to enjoy many of the benefits of a softmodded Wii without installing any permanent modifications to your Wii. It will allow you to launch an exploit to boot an from emulated NAND from external storage, instead of your Wii's internal NAND.
On a related note, you can also make a NAND backup without modifying your Wii at all. Find ModMii's "Support" folder and launch `Casper2BootMii.bat`. <br> It will save some files to a folder named `COPY_TO_SD`, copy the files inside it to your SD card and [launch an exploit](get-started).
When following one of the exploit guides above, please avoid replacing the `boot.elf` file.

{: .notice--info}
###### Key Features
- You can use a GameCube controller to play your games.
- You can use a Wiimote to play your games, but you will need to use a Classic Controller Pro or a Wii U Pro Controller to use all of the game's features.
- You can use a Wii U GameCube Controller adapter if your Wii does not have GameCube ports.
- You can use a USB keyboard to enter text in games that require it.

Priiloader adds a level of brick protection to your Wii. It loads before the Wii Menu does (hence the name). The tool can also enable hacks for your Wii Menu, and be used to quickly launch the Homebrew Channel, BootMii, or whatever homebrew you want!
### Installing Priiloader
![Priiloader icon](/images/Priiloader/icon.png)
{% capture notice-vwii-priiloader %}
Priiloader 0.10.0 introduces vWii support! <br> There are some important things to take note of:
- To fix the timestamp issues (FORE000006, wrong News Channel update time), you will need to [generate a timestamp fix hack](https://garyodernichts.github.io/priiloader-patch-gen/). More info on the page.
- Installing a theme after installing Priiloader **will brick your vWii.**
And some things to enhance your vWii experience:
- [Priiloader Wii U Forwarder](https://github.com/DacoTaco/priiloader/releases/download/0.10.0/PriiloaderWiiUForwarder.zip) to load Priiloader straight from the Wii U Menu. **This only works on Aroma.**
- [evWii Aroma Plugin](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/evwii/releases) to enhance some extra features for vWii. The features are listed [here](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/evwii#features).
{% endcapture %}
<div class="notice--success" markdown="1">
{{ notice-vwii-priiloader }}
</div>
#### What you need
- An SD card or USB drive
- [Priiloader installer](https://oscwii.org/library/app/priiloader)
- [LoadPriiloader](https://oscwii.org/library/app/loadpriiloader)
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Downloading/Installing
1. Download the Priiloader installer and LoadPriiloader apps.

##### Section IV - Connecting
{% capture notice-1 %}
The old DNS server `164.132.44.106` has been deprecated as of `June 1st, 2023` and is no longer available to use. [Read more here](riiconnect24-dns-update).
{% endcapture %}
<div class="notice--warning">{{ notice-1 | markdownify }}</div>
You will now set your DNS to our servers. This is optional but it's recommended, because it enhances the use of RiiConnect24 and Wiimmfi by making some other features available.
1. Go to `Wii Options`.
2. Go to `Wii Settings`.
3. Go to `Page 2`, then click on `Internet`.
4. Go to `Connection Settings`.
5. Select your current connection.
6. Go to `Change Settings`.
7. Go to `Auto-Obtain DNS` (Not IP Address), then select `No`, then `Advanced Settings`.
8. Type in `167.86.108.126` as the primary DNS.
9. Type in `1.1.1.1` as the secondary DNS.
10. Select `Confirm`, then select `Save`.
11. Select `OK` to perform a connection test.
12. If the connection test was successful, select `No` to skip the Wii System Update.
13. Go to `WiiConnect24`, then `WiiConnect24` again, and make sure it is enabled.
14. Back on the WiiConnect24 menu, go to `Standby Connection` and make sure it is enabled.
15. At `Slot Illumination`, we recommend you set the disc light to `Dim` or `Bright`, but this is optional.
16. Finally, go to the `Internet` section, then `User Agreements` or `Agreement/Contact`, then `Yes`. Please read through this.
It's common to get error FORE000006 on the Forecast Channel after installing RiiConnect24. If you get it, make sure your Wii's to the correct date and time, then wait no more than an hour and it may start working. [If you still get error FORE000006 or if you get NEWS000006, you will need to delete your SYSCONF with RC24-Clear-Tool](deleting-vffs).
{: .notice--warning}
If you get error 107245, then you have not installed the patched IOS. Make sure you install IOS31 and IOS80 with Wii Mod Lite, along with any other patched WADs.
{: .notice--warning}
If you get error 220602 when loading the User Agreements, it means your Wii is still configured to use the old DNS server, which has been shut down on `June 1, 2023`. [Read more here.](riiconnect24-dns-update)
{: .notice--warning}
If you get error 107304 or you see Nintendo's User Agreement without RiiConnect24's logo, that means your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network is blocking the use of a DNS. You can set `Auto-Obtain DNS` to `On` to solve this. RiiConnect24 will still work without it. Or, you can use our [DNS-Server](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/DNS-Server/releases/latest) program.
{: .notice--warning}
[If you're getting any other errors with the Forecast Channel or the News Channel, such as an error code starting with FORE or NEWS or a discontinued message, you can try to delete your VFFs with RC24-Clear-Tool](deleting-vffs).
{: .notice--warning}
If you're getting errors such as `WiiConnect24 and Wii Shop Channel currently not being offered in your country`, go to Wii Settings -> Last Page -> Country and change it to United Kingdom. You will get this error when using a country that we don't support. Contact us at [support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net) if you need more help.
{: .notice--warning}
[Continue to WiiLink](wiilink)<br> WiiLink lets you use the Japanese-exclusive channels known as Wii no Ma and Digicam Print Channel. This is optional to install.
{: .notice--info}
[Continue to Wiimmfi](wiimmfi)<br> Wiimmfi lets you play games online after the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. This is optional to install.

title: RiiTag on Wii U
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
RiiTag is a customizable and dynamic gamertag. By sharing your gamertag (a dynamic image), you can show what you've been playing to your friends! You launch a plugin on your Wii U console via Aroma, and the tag updates on-the-fly.
#### What you need
- A device capable of interacting with SD cards
- Softmodded Wii U console with Aroma custom firmware
- If you have not softmodded your Wii U yet, [please do so](https://wiiu.hacks.guide). You cannot proceed without.
- A Discord account
- The latest release of the [UTag plugin](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/UTag/releases)
Previously, UTag allowed using other custom firmware (often abbreviated as CFW), but the only supported custom firmware, and the only one you should be using, is Aroma.
{: .notice--warning}
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Website instructions
1. Go to the [RiiTag website](https://tag.rc24.xyz/).
2. Click `Log In` and log in with your Discord account.
3. A dialog will pop up asking you if you want to authorize `RiiConnect24 Login` with Discord. Click `Authorize`.
4. Click `Edit Your Tag` and customize it to how you like. You can add a background, overlay, flag, nickname, Wii Number, and manually enter in games to show on your tag (not needed if you're using a USB Loader).
5. Click `Show Key` and make note of the key shown. This will be used later on in this guide.
6. Click `Submit` to save your changes.
Do not share your RiiTag key with anyone! If you do, people can abuse your tag.
{: .notice--warning}
##### Section II - Setting things up on the SD card
1. Extract the UTag file to `/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins` on your SD card. If it doesn't exist, create it.
2. In `/wiiu/` on your SD card, create a file called `utag.txt` and paste your RiiTag key from the previous step into it.
##### Section III - Running the plugin
You don't need to manually run the plugin - just run Aroma and it will automatically be loaded. We recommend setting up Aroma for coldbooting so the plugin gets loaded automatically when you boot the console.
{: .notice--info}
You have now set up RiiTag on your Wii U! Now go play some games, and watch them show up on your RiiTag!

We do not offer support for Configurable USB Loader, as it's outdated compared to USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite.
{: .notice--info}
You can use the `CfgLoaderConfigurator.exe` program (Windows only) instead of editing the `config.txt` file mentioned below if you want to.
{: .notice--info}
1. Take the SD Card or USB device where your Configurable USB Loader data is into your computer.
2. Open `/usb-loader/config.txt` with a text editor.
3. Replace (or add the line) starting with `gamercard_url` with `gamercard_url = http://tag.rc24.xyz/wii?game={ID6}&key={KEY}`.
4. Replace (or add the line) starting with `gamercard_key` with `gamercard_key = <key>`, replacing `<key>` with the key you wrote down in Section 1.
5. Save the modified `config.txt` file.
6. You have now set up RiiTag. You can try loading any game now to see if it works correctly.
#### RiiTag Channel
We have a RiiTag Channel you can install on your Wii. When it is launched, it will open up the Internet Channel and show your RiiTag, making it easy to look at it when using your Wii. You must have the Internet Channel installed to use this.
{: .notice--info}
1. [Go to the RiiTag site.](https://tag.rc24.xyz/)
2. Click `Log In` and log in with your Discord account.
3. A dialog will pop up asking you if you want to authorize `RiiConnect24 Login` with Discord. Click `Authorize`.

If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
{: .notice--warning}
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
{: .notice--info}
![Riivolution](/images/riivolution.png)
#### What you need
* A Wii
* A USB drive or SD Card
* The files for your desired mod
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
* A working disk drive
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
#### Preparing the files
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
2. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
3. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
4. Insert the disk into the Wii.
* Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
5. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
{: .notice--info}
#### File Structure
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
{: .notice--info}
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

{: .notice--info}
Do you want to get RSS feed updates on your Wii Message Board? This tutorial will tell you how to set RSSMii up.
![RSSMii](/images/rssmii.png)
#### What you need
* An SD card
* [RSSMii](https://oscwii.org/library/app/rssmii)
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Downloading/Installing
1. Extract RSSMii and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card.
2. We need to create a `feeds.xml` on the root of the SD card so the app will know what feeds to subscribe you to.
If you're using the Windows Operating System, you can use the [RSS Feeds Creator](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/rssmii/releases/download/v1.4.1/RSSFeedsCreator.bat) program created by KcrPL. It will automatically create a `feeds.xml` file and will copy it to your SD card!
{: .notice--info}
<b>If you don't have a Windows computer, use this template and use your favorite text editor to make the `feeds.xml`.</b>
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss>
<feed name="Example-Feed"><![CDATA[http://example.com/rss-feed]]></feed>
<feed name="One more Example-Feed!"><![CDATA[http://example.com/another_rss-feed]]></feed>
</rss>
```
Replace the "name" portion with the title you want to put for the feed. Make sure it's not very long, since there's not that much space. Then, replace the link portion with the link to the RSS feed. You can put as many feeds as you want. Don't delete the "CDATA" part.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss>
<feed name="RiiConnect24 Medium"><![CDATA[https://medium.com/feed/riiconnect24]]></feed>
<feed name="RiiConnect24 Twitter"><![CDATA[https://nitter.net/riiconnect24/rss]]></feed>
</rss>
```
Save the feed you made to the root of your SD Card.
3. Launch RSSMii from the Homebrew Channel.
4. Press A to confirm you want to subscribe to the feeds. Ignore the error about ES_GetTitleID, everything is fine.
5. Once everything is done, press HOME to go back to the Homebrew Channel. You should soon get RSS feed updates on your Wii, enjoy!
Not getting any feed updates? Try an RSS feed that updates more frequently, like a feed with news for example. If the RSS feed doesn't update often, then you won't get many updates.
{: .notice--warning}
We recommend you use just a few feeds, because if you subscribe to a lot of feeds you can get a ton of mail on your Wii.
{: .notice--info}
If you're not receiving updates after a few days, you might need to subscribe to the RSS feeds again. Launch RSSMii from the Homebrew Channel again and it'll create brand new subscriptions.

If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net).
{: .notice--info}
Note that if your ISP or networking environment prevents using custom DNS servers, str2hax will not work and you should [choose another exploit to use](get-started).
{: .notice--warning}
str2hax is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered by loading the Wii's End User License Agreement. It requires nothing but an Internet connection that lets you change the DNS on your Wii.
#### What you need
* A Wii with an Internet connection
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Connecting
This exploit requires you to set your DNS in order to connect to a server that contains the exploit.
1. Go to `Wii Options`. ![Wii Options](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_1.png)
1. Go to `Wii Settings`. ![Wii Settings](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_2.png)
1. Go to `Page 2`, then click on `Internet`. ![Internet](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_3.png)
1. Go to `Connection Settings`. ![Connection Settings](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_4.png)

1. Type in `18.188.135.9` as the Primary DNS. ![str2hax DNS](/images/str2hax/dns.png)
If there are 3 fields instead of 2 (like above), go back and make sure you are on the `Auto-Obtain DNS` page.
{: .notice--warning}
1. Select `Confirm`, then select `Save`. ![Save DNS](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_10.png)
1. Select `OK` to perform a connection test. ![Connection Test](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_11.png) ![Connection Test Successful](/images/RiiConnect24/Internet_12.png)
- If the connection test was successful, select `No` to skip the Wii System Update.
- If it fails with error code `521xx`, please verify that you have entered the DNS correctly.
- If it is still unsuccessful, please [use another exploit](get-started).
##### Section II - Triggering the Exploit
1. Go to the `Internet` section, then `User Agreements` or `Agreement/Contact`, then `Yes`.
1. Click on `Next`. You should be greeted with the following screen: ![str2hax EULA page](/images/str2hax/EULA.png)
1. Give the exploit 1-2 minutes to download (and don't press `I ACCEPT`/`I DO NOT ACCEPT`).
1. Once the exploit downloads, you will see a few text screens, then a mess of colors, then finally, the HackMii Installer. ![HackMii Installer scam screen](/images/hackmii/scam.png)
[Continue to Homebrew Channel and BootMii Installation](hbc)
{: .notice--info}
##### Common issues
If you get the normal User Agreements, your ISP blocks the use of custom DNS. Please [use another exploit](get-started).
{: .notice--warning}
If the HackMii Installer doesn't load after more than 2 minutes, or you receive an error like `Hanging.` or `ERROR! if_config (ret = ...)`, please restart your Wii and try again.
{: .notice--warning}
If you have installed a mod like CTGP Revolution or Project+, str2hax may load that instead. If it does, restart your Wii and try again without your SD card inserted.

title: "Installing Wii Menu Themes on vWii"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Are you tired of the boring, plain white theme on your Wii Menu, and want a cool theme instead? This tutorial will help you get a new theme for your Wii Menu!
Installing a theme after installing Priiloader WILL BRICK YOUR VWII.
{: .notice--danger}
We are **NOT** responsible if you brick, or damage your console in any way whatsoever. If you follow this guide exactly, you shouldn't have any problems.
{: .notice--danger}
Do **NOT** install the themes made in this guide on an actual Wii. They are only compatible with the vWii System Menu and will brick an actual Wii.
{: .notice--danger}
There are some themes that aren't compatible with the vWii System Menu, they may result in anything from graphical glitches to a full theme brick. We recommend only using themes from [rc24.xyz/goodies/themes](https://rc24.xyz/goodies/themes/) since these are compatible with modern versions of the System Menu.
{: .notice--warning}
If you somehow happen to brick your vWii, [follow this guide](https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-vwii-unbrick-guide-by-garyodernichts.528329). ([Archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20200213194233/https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-vwii-unbrick-guide-by-garyodernichts.528329/))
{: .notice--info}
#### What You Need
* A Wii U with the Homebrew Channel installed.
* An SD card or USB drive
* A computer with Windows on it (or using Mono or Wine on Mac/Linux)
* [MyMenuifyMod](https://oscwii.org/library/app/MyMenuifyMod)
* [ThemeMii Mod](/assets/files/New_ThemeMii_MOD.zip)
* [NUS Downloader (vWii)](/assets/files/NUSDownloader-vwii.zip)
#### Theme Links
Below are some links to themes.
* [RiiConnect24 Themes Page](https://rc24.xyz/goodies/themes/)
* [GBAtemp Download](https://gbatemp.net/download/categories/other-files.166/)
* [Google Drive Repository](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1K1WQe36bGibsF4ZlAxZKU6ngNpjUnh5i)
* [Wii Themer](http://www.wiithemer.org/)
* [Wii Theme Team Creations v2](https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-theme-team-creations-v2.336596/)
Only themes from the RiiConnect24 Themes page have been tested on vWii. Themes from other sources may not be entirely compatible with vWii, use these at your own risk.
{: .notice--warning}
MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WARNINGS ABOVE BEFORE CONTINUING!
{: .notice--danger}
#### Instructions
##### Section I - Finding a Theme
* When choosing a theme, it is important to make sure that your theme is compatible with the vWii System Menu.
* Older themes for 3.X or 2.X are **NOT** compatible with vWii and may cause a brick if used.
* Most of the themes on RiiConnect24's theme page have been tested on vWii and they are known to work.
##### Section II - Downloading .app files
This assumes your vWii is on the latest Wii Menu version.
{: .notice--warning}
There are a couple of ways to get the .app files for your vWii System Menu, in this guide we'll be using the vWii version of NUS Downloader.
1. Extract the .zip file for NUS Downloader vWii and open the application
2. Click on `Database...`
3. Go to `System` > `System Menu` and select the version corresponding to your region as shown in the table below.
| Region | vWii Menu version |
| ------ | ----------------- |
| Japan | v608 |
| USA | v609 |
| Europe | v610 |
After selecting the correct version to download, check the box for `Create Decrypted Contents (*.app)`. Then, press the `Start NUS Download` Button on the top of the window.
![The database menu in NUS Downloader.](/images/Themes-vWii/NUSD-vWii_preview-database.png)
![The main menu of NUS downloader without the database menu open.](/images/Themes-vWii/NUSD-vWii_sysmenu-versions.png)
After the download has finished, search for the .app file corresponding to your region in the folder where NUS Downloader is.
| Region | .app file for your region |
| ------ | ------------------------- |
| Japan | 0000001c.app |
| USA | 0000001f.app |
| Europe | 00000022.app |
If you can't find the .app file, it's possible you have downloaded the wrong version of the Wii Menu and you'll need to try again.
After you find the .app file, copy it to the main directory of the folder containing ThemeMii. Then, copy a version of it to the theme folder in your SD card.
##### Section III - Building the Theme
1. Launch ThemeMii Mod.
2. Do not click `Download Base App`, ThemeMii does not have base .app files for vWii. If you download a base app, you must delete it in order to use the vWii .app file.
3. In ThemeMii select `File` -> `Open` and navigate to the .mym theme you downloaded earlier.
4. Click on `Create CSM` and select the .app file that you copied to the ThemeMii folder.
5. Now navigate to the `theme` folder on your SD card and save your theme with the .csm extension.
![ThemeMii Menu](/images/Themes-vWii/ThemeMii-Mod-Preview_vWii.png)
##### Section IV - Installing the Theme
1. Eject your SD card from your PC and put it into your Wii U.
2. Start the Homebrew Channel and launch MyMenuifyMod.
3. Select the .csm file you just created.
4. When it prompts you to install the theme say `Yes`, and wait for it to finish.
5. When it finishes installing, MyMenuifyMod will prompt you to either `Continue` or `Exit`, choose `Exit`.
If you did everything correctly, you should now have your custom theme installed on your Wii Menu.
##### Reverting to Original Theme
1. Launch the Homebrew Channel.
2. Launch MyMenuify and navigate to your theme folder.
3. Select the .app file you copied to the SD card at the end of section 2 as if you were installing a theme.
4. Select Install and wait until it finishes.
5. When it's done, you can exit MyMenuify.

#### Instructions
##### Section I - Finding a Theme
* Find a theme you want to install. Some themes have YouTube videos to show what the theme looks like, but unfortunately some of the videos are no longer available.
* Once you found one you like, click the download link corresponding to your Wii Menu version. **It's very important to pick the correct version to avoid bricks.**
* You probably will pick the download link that says 4.X, that means the theme will work on version 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the Wii Menu.
* Some themes have different links for different regions, so pick the one corresponding to your Wii's region.
* There are other resources for Wii Menu themes, but they might be in csm form (ready to install on the Wii). If the csm doesn't match the version and region of your Wii Menu, try to convert it to mym with ThemeMii Mod, and then convert it back to csm with the instructions here using the version and region of your Wii Menu.
* Once you downloaded the theme you want and double-checked you got the right one, extract the .zip file for ThemeMii Mod and open the application.
##### Section II - Building the Theme
1. A dialog box will pop up telling you to only install themes if you have brick protection. If you installed Priiloader and/or BootMii (see the warning at the start of this guide), press OK.
2. Go to `Tools` > `Download Base App` > Version of your Wii Menu > Region of your Wii Menu
3. A dialog box will pop up asking you to enter in a value to create a key. Enter in what it says, it will create a key that will be used to decrypt the Wii Menu contents from Nintendo's servers.
4. A file selection box will ask you where to save the .app file (that is the Wii Menu content file it downloaded). Save it to the directory where ThemeMii is in.
5. Go to `Options` > `Standard System Menu` > Version of your Wii Menu > Region of your Wii Menu
6. Go to `File` > `Open`, then browse for where your .mym file is.
7. Press `Create csm`, then browse for a directory you want to save the theme in. Give it a moment to build the theme.
8. A dialog box will pop up asking you if you want to save the .mym. Press `No`.
##### Section III - Installing the Theme
1. Extract MyMenuifyMod.zip to your SD card or USB drive.
2. Put the .csm file you saved in a folder called `modthemes` on your SD card or USB drive.
3. Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii.
4. Launch MyMenuify Mod from the Homebrew Channel.
5. After an introduction message, it will ask you what IOS you want to use in the app. If you have [installed cIOS](cios), use `IOS249`, or else use `IOS58`. If the former gives an `Exception DSI occurred!` error, press Reset on the Wii console, launch it again, then try `IOS250`. It might take a couple attempts to reload the IOS.
6. Highlight the theme you want to install, then press A. Give it a moment to install the theme, then press any button to go to the Wii Menu. Hopefully, the theme installed correctly.
If you get an error saying "The system files are corrupted" or a black screen, don't panic as long as you installed Priiloader. Turn off your Wii, then hold down the RESET button down and turn on your Wii. You should be able to boot into the Priiloader menu, where you have some options to fix your Wii Menu. One of the options is to launch the Homebrew Channel, where you can launch MyMenuify Mod and press a button to download and install the original Wii Menu theme.
