### ModMii Overview
|
||||
|
||||
There are two different ways to use ModMii. There is ModMii Classic, which uses a command line interface, but has all of the features available to the program. ModMii Skin has a graphical user interface, on the other hand, but has less options available to the user. If you're looking to simply mod your Wii for the first time, ModMii Skin should suffice. Otherwise, we reccomend using ModMii Classic where possible. <br>
|
||||
The chart below will help you determine what can be done in either interface.

When using ModMii, it is important to note that it will generate a custom guide for you depending on the options that you select. For this reason, this guide will not be focused on how to mod your Wii, as ModMii handles that function. Instead, it will be a quick start guide show you how to effectively use it with the most common options.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing ModMii
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 using ModMii on your Windows PC.
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### ModMii Wizard
|
||||
1. Go to the [ModMii website](https://modmii.github.io) and scroll down to the Download section. Here, select the `Installer` option. Your browser may flag the installer as malware, but it is a **false positive**.
|
||||
|
||||
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 if it isn't).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
2. Open the `ModMiiInstaller.exe` file and go through the setup process.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Using the ModMii Wizard
|
||||
|
||||
The ModMii Wizard is tool that can softmod your Wii from start to finish, downloading all necessary files and then generating a guide that you can use to implement the softmod. This tool can also be used to overwrite existing softmods on a previously softmodded Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open ModMii Skin or ModMii Classic and select the ModMii Wizard option at the top of the list.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Answer `Yes` to the first question, unless you have a very specific idea of what you would like to do or update to your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select your current System Menu version, followed by the System Menu Region, following the instructions in the program. If you are still confused, check the bottom option on each screen for an instructional video.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the exploit you would like to use to mod your Wii. The exploits below are outlined throughout this website, but in most cases we would reccommend using Wilbrand if you have an SD card on hand.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. If you selected the Wilbrand option in the previous step, enter your Wii's MAC address. If you don't know how to check your Wii's MAC address, enter `Help` in the text box for an instructional video.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select your desired System Menu version from the list.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select whether or not you would like to install any of the listed channels - this is an optional step.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select whether or not you would like to install a custom Wii theme, with the choice of three theme effects. Each effect deals with how much the outline when hovering over a Wii Channel spins.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select whether or not you would like to set up a USB Loader for use with your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. If you selected `Yes` in the USB Loader menu, select which USB Loader you would like to use. If you choose an individual one, we reccomend either USB Loader GX or WiiFlow as both are covered on this website, or you may optionally download each option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. If you selected `Yes` in the USB Loader menu, select where you would like to save your USB Loader files at.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify where you would like to save files for your SD Card and/or USB Drive.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Confirm your settings are correct, and then press `Finish`. Once you press the button, ModMii will begin to process and download files in the background, and will automatically generate and open a guide for you. From here, you should follow the guide generated by ModMii.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.
|
||||
The SysCheck Updater Wizard is a tool that utilizes the homebrew app [SysCheck](syscheck) to analyze any modifications on your Wii, especially IOS and cIOS. It accepts a `syscheck.csv` file generated by the app, and then provides any nessecary updates as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
You can have ModMii analyze a SysCheck by dragging the `syscheck.csv` file onto ModMii.exe.
|
||||
Alternatively, you can launch the SysCheck Updater Wizard (`SU`) from ModMii's main menu and manually browse for the file.
|
||||
1. Open ModMii Classic and enter in `SU` to open the SysCheck Updater Wizard.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Follow the instructions in the window if you don't already have a SysCheck log, and then drag and drop the `syscheck.csv` file from Windows Explorer into the window. This will paste the location of the file, from which you can press Enter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. The program will analyze your SysCheck file, and will provide options for you depending on what it sees. In this example instance, the mods on the Wii were up-to-date, but there were several unnecessary IOSes that could be stubbed. If you want to make these changes to your Wii, simply enter in `Y` and press Enter. From here, you should follow the guide generated by ModMii.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### HackMii Solutions Wizard
|
||||
|
||||
The HackMii Solutions wizard can help fix symptoms like these:
|
||||
The HackMii Solutions Wizard is a tool that fixes problems that may arise from things like Darkcorp/CIOSSPAGHETTI by installing clean IOSes. Examples of problems that may arise because of this are listed below:
|
||||
|
||||
+ HackMii Installer not prompting "Press (1) to continue"
|
||||
+ HackMii Installer says "no vulnerable IOS found!"
|
||||
+ Homebrew Channel is displaying upside-down
|
||||
+ HackMii Installer saying "no vulnerable IOS found!"
|
||||
+ Homebrew Channel displaying upside-down
|
||||
|
||||
It will install clean IOSs to allow for the HackMii Installer to operate properly.
|
||||
1. Open ModMii Skin or ModMii Classic and select the HackMii Solutions option.
|
||||
|
||||
### Abstinence Wizard
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This wizard requires an SD card.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
1. Select your current System Menu version, followed by the System Menu Region, following the instructions in the program. If you are still confused, check the bottom option on each screen for an instructional video.
|
||||
|
||||
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, rather than use your Wii's internal NAND.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can also make a NAND backup without modifying your Wii at all by navigating to ModMii's "Support" folder and launching `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 like [Wilbrand](wilbrand).
|
||||
1. Select the exploit you would like to use to mod your Wii. The exploits below are outlined throughout this website, but in most cases we would reccommend using Wilbrand if you have an SD card on hand.
|
||||
|
||||
When following one of the exploit guides above, avoid replacing the `boot.elf` file.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. If you selected the Wilbrand option in the previous step, enter your Wii's MAC address. If you don't know how to check your Wii's MAC address, enter `Help` in the text box for an instructional video.
