title: "Nintendont"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
{: .notice--info}
### Requirements
* A modded Wii
* An SD card or USB device
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
### Installation
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
### Quick Start Guide
#### Key Features
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
#### User Interface
![Nintendont UI](/images/usb-loaders/nintendont-ui.png)
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
#### Properly Launching Games
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
#### BIOS Setup
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

title: "Riivolution"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
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}
### Requirements
* 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.
1. 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.
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
1. 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.
1. 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.

title: "USB Loaders"
---

This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
{: .notice--warning}
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
{: .notice--warning}
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download).

+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
#### Installation
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
#### Quick Start Guide
##### General
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
##### User Interface

### USB Loader GX
#### Requirements
+ A modded Wii
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
#### Installation
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
#### Quick Start Guide
##### General

To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
##### User Interface
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.
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, 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.

+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
+ Wii - Open the HOME Menu.
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.

+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
#### USB Loader GX
1. Select the game that isn't working.
1. Click Settings.
1. Select `Game Load`.
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.

title: "Nintendont"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
{: .notice--info}
### Requirements
* A modded Wii
* An SD card or USB device
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
### Installation
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
### Quick Start Guide
#### Key Features
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
#### User Interface
![Nintendont UI](/images/usb-loaders/nintendont-ui.png)
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
#### Properly Launching Games
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
#### BIOS Setup
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

title: "Riivolution"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
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}
### Requirements
* 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.
1. 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.
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
1. 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.
1. 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.

When buying SD cards, it is generally recommended that you stick to well-known brands the more expensive and larger capacity that you get. While you can buy a generic 2GB SD card and most likely be safe, the same cannot be said for something like a 512GB SD card. General current pricing for SD cards is around 10-20 USD for 256GB and below, whereas 512GB is around 40 USD. When buying off of Amazon, make sure that your card is either `Sold by/Shipped by Amazon` or `Sold by [brand], Shipped by Amazon`. Be wary when buying storage on eBay.
Recommended brands:
+ Samsung (EVO Select, EVO Plus, PRO Plus)
+ SanDisk (Extreme, Ultra, etc)
+ Lexar (E-Series, Professional)
+ Silicon Power ("3D NAND" cards, higher capacity usually better value)
+ PNY (Elite, Elite-X, etc)
+ Installing IOS for a Wii console on vWii.
+ Installing Wii menu themes not formatted correctly for vWii and/or your region.

### Requirements
* 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.

#### Section I - Downloading
1. Extract GameCube Backup Manager, and launch the program.
1. Insert your USB drive into your Wii mini and load the d2xl cIOS Installer from the Homebrew Channel.
#### 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.
![](/images/desktop-apps/GCBM/folderbutton.png)
1. Navigate to the location of the folder that contains 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 folder, select it.
![](/images/desktop-apps/GCBM/selectfolder.png)
1. 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.
![](/images/desktop-apps/GCBM/selectdrive.png)

![](/images/desktop-apps/GCBM/installgame.png)
Selecting `Install Game (Scrub)` will remove unnecessary data from the game, reducing the game's file size. For some games this can be a major reduction, for example with Animal Crossing - going from 1.3GB to around 26MB.

**Homebrew** refers to software that was not authorized by the original creator of a piece of hardware - in this case, Nintendo. In order to gain the ability to run homebrew on the Wii, the console must first be modified to run unsigned code.
Here are some common examples of what homebrew can do for your Wii:
Get started by [choosing your exploit](get-started)!
+ [Backup](bootmii) and [restore](bootmiirecover) your Wii's NAND (system memory)
+ Enhance the [brick protection](priiloader) of your Wii

title: "Nintendont"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
{: .notice--info}
### Requirements
* A modded Wii
* An SD card or USB device
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
### Installation
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
### Quick Start Guide
#### Key Features
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
#### User Interface
![](/images/usb-loaders/nintendont-ui.png)
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
#### Properly Launching Games
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
```
💾SD/USB:
┗ 📂games
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
```
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
```
💾SD/USB:
┗ 📂games
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
```
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
```
💾SD/USB:
┗ 📂games
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
```
#### BIOS Setup
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

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.

* 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.
1. 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.
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
1. 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.
1. 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.

While the MYM is made by the theme creator which can then be shared around, the CSM is the result from building a MYM into a system menu. In other words, MYM mainly just holds assets - the actual system menu itself that needs to be installed comes seperate.

title: "USB Loaders"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
{: .notice--warning}
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
{: .notice--warning}
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
{: .notice--info}

```
### WiiFlow Lite
#### Requirements
+ A modded Wii
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
#### Installation
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
#### Quick Start Guide
##### General
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
##### User Interface
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
+ Star - View games you favorited.
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
+ Game Type - Toggles between different types of apps/games. The logo changes depending on what game type you have selected.
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
+ House - Opens the menu below. The menu can also be launched by pressing the home button.
![](/images/usb-loaders/wiiflow-menu.png)
+ Help Guide - Shows all the controls you can use in WiiFlow.
+ Reload Cache - Press this to allow WiiFlow to rescan for games on the USB device or SD card.
+ File Explorer - Allows you to explore the directory listing on your USB device or SD card and select an individual game or executable.
+ Select Plugins - Allows you to select plugins.
+ Credits - Shows the people who worked on WiiFlow.
+ Shutdown - Allows you to go into full shutdown or standby mode.
+ Exit To - Lets you exit to Wii Menu, Homebrew Channel, neek2o, Priiloader, or Bootmii.
+ Settings - Opens the global WiiFlow settings menu.
### USB Loader GX
#### Requirements
+ A modded Wii
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
#### Installation
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
#### Quick Start Guide
##### General
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
+ 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 the amount of games you have.
+ 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 the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
##### User Interface
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.
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, 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 - Sorts 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 that is in the disc drive.
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
+ Wii - Open the HOME Menu.
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
### Troubleshooting
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
#### USB Loader GX
1. Select the game that isn't working.
1. Click Settings.
1. Select `Game Load`.
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
#### WiiFlow Lite
1. Select the game that isn't working.
1. Click the gear icon.
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

title: Managing Wii Backups
---
If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join <a href="https://discord.gg/rc24">the RiiConnect24 Discord server</a> (recommended) or <a href="mailto:support@riiconnect24.net">e-mail us at support\@riiconnect24.net</a>.
This guide provides instructions on how to manage your Wii backups, from joining .PART files that are output through CleanRip, to shrinking game files that can be copied onto a FAT32 device. Two programs that can be used to manage your Wii backups are Wii Backup Manager (for Windows) and Wii Backup Fusion (for Linux and MacOS) and are covered below.
For storing multiple games, we recommend an external hard drive for your Wii. Most of those found on the market should work fine.
{: .notice--info}
A flash drive is not recommended, as they are small and may vary in behavior even between the same product. <br>
As an alternative, you may simply use an SD card, however the Wii's SD card slot will be slow.
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT, 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}
### Joining PART files on a FAT32 device
If your disc was dumped to a FAT32 device, you should have gotten at least two files that end with `.partX.iso`, due to filesystem limitations. They need to be joined (on a supported filesystem like NTFS) so the file can be read correctly.
{: .notice--info}
#### Windows
1. Copy the files that share the same name and end with `.partX.iso` into an empty folder on your computer.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/dumpedpartfiles.png)
2. In this folder, click the address bar in Windows Explorer and type in `cmd`, this will open a command prompt window there.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/opencmd.png)
3. Type `copy /b *.part?.iso game.iso` and press enter. Wait for the command to finish, your terminal output should be similar to the below.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/joinpartfiles.png)
4. If the copy process executed correctly, the checksum from the game dump info file (located where you dumped your disc at) should match the resulting joined file.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/filemd5.png)
#### macOS/Linux
1. Copy the files that share the same name and end with `.partX.iso` into an empty folder on your computer.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/dumpedpartfileslinux.png)
2. Open a terminal in the directory where your files are at, or `cd [PATH]` to it.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/openterminallinux.png)
3. Use the following command as is: ``cat `ls *.part?.iso | sort` > game.iso``. Then, wait for the merging process to finish. Like in Windows, the resulting checksum should match the dump.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/mergesuccesslinux.png)
### Using Wii Backup Manager
#### str2hax Method
- A PC running Windows
- A USB drive or SD card
- A dumped ISO from a Wii game disc
- [Wii Backup Manager](https://static.wiidatabase.de/Wii-Backup-Manager.zip)
#### Section I - Installation
1. Extract Wii Backup Manager, and launch the program.
2. Insert your USB drive or SD card into your computer.
#### Section II - Copying Games
1. Go to the `Drive 1` tab, then select the drive that will hold your backed up Wii games.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/select_drive.png)
2. Go to the `Files` tab, then select `Add`.
- Select `Files` to add multiple games to the program, or select `Folder` to add a whole folder of games.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/select_games.png)
3. Go to `Select`, then click `Games not on drive 1`.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/select_games2.png)
4. Select `Transfer`, then select `Drive 1` to transfer the games over. The progress will be displayed on the right side of the window.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/transfer_todrive.png)
### Using Wii Backup Fusion
#### str2hax Method
- A PC running MacOS or Linux
- A USB drive or SD card
- A dumped ISO from a Wii game disc
- [Wii Backup Fusion](https://github.com/larsenv/Wii-Backup-Fusion)
- [Wiimm's ISO Tools](https://wit.wiimm.de/download.html)
#### Section I - Installation
1. Download Wiimm's ISO tools for your OS and extract the .tar.gz into a folder that you can access with the terminal. The extracted folder should have these files inside:
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/witinstallfolder.png)
2. Open a terminal in the folder that you just extracted, and run `sudo ./install.sh`.
3. Download Wii Backup Fusion for your OS and install. If on Linux, you will need to make the appimage executable by running `chmod +x [FILE]`.
#### Section II - Copying Games
1. Open Wii Backup Fusion and press `Load`.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/loadwbf.png)
2. Select the directory where your game ISO is at.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/opendirectorywbf.png)
3. Right click on the game that you want to transfer to a drive, and press `Transfer to image`. Use the following settings:
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/settingswbf.png)
4. If there is not already a `wbfs` directory on your game drive, make one.
5. Make another directory inside of the `wbfs` folder for the game backup. Take note of the Game ID in Wii Backup Fusion as you will need this for the game folder.
6. Make a game folder for your game, formatted as `game name [GAMEID]`. For the game dumped as an example in this guide, it would be named `New Super Mario Bros. Wii [SMNE01]`.
![](/images/desktop-apps/WBM/wbfsname.png)
7. Copy the game.wbfs file that was made in Step 3 to this new folder. The drive should be ready to use on a Wii.
[Continue to cIOS](cios)<br>
cIOS is needed for your Wii to use a USB Loader. Once this is done, you can use [USB Loader GX or WiiFlow](wii-loaders) to play games from your USB drive or SD card.

title: Restoring The Wii NAND to Stock
---
If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join <a href="https://discord.gg/rc24">the RiiConnect24 Discord server</a> (recommended) or <a href="mailto:support@riiconnect24.net">e-mail us at support\@riiconnect24.net</a>.
This guide details how to create a stock NAND for your Wii system using a program called Ohneschwanzenegger. Unlike the `Format Wii System Memory` option in the Wii settings, this will completely wipe any changes to the NAND by downloading a stock Wii System Menu from NUS servers. If followed correctly, the Wii should have no homebrew left on the system, stock IOSes, and boot up to a factory setup screen when the NAND is flashed.
Please note that this program **needs** an existing (even bricked!) NAND backup to function, as it needs to have a copy of the first 8 blocks of NAND, a bad blocks list, and AES/HMAC keys.
{% capture here-be-dragons %}
The instructions detailed in this guide WILL ERASE YOUR WII SYSTEM MEMORY and should only be considered as a LAST RESORT or if you are trying to do any of the following:
- Restore the Wii to a state comparable to when it left the factory.
- Fix a brick where you do not have a functional NAND backup or access to the Homebrew Channel but can still make one using BootMii.
- You are unable to revert certain changes to the Wii System Memory such as all cIOS with DARKCORP.
{% endcapture %}
<div class="notice--danger">{{ here-be-dragons | markdownify }}</div>
If you are trying to [update your Wii to 4.3U](update) with homebrew or update outdated homebrew/IOS, you most likely do not need to follow this guide. Instead, you can use a tool like the SysCheck Updater Wizard built into [ModMii](modmii#syscheck-updater-wizard). If you are confused about this process, consider joining the Nintendo Homebrew discord server for support.
{: .notice--warning}
### str2hax Method
- An SD card with at least 512MB of free space
- A [NAND backup](bootmii) from the specific system you are trying to flash
- A Windows computer with an Internet connection
- [Ohneschwanzenegger](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modmii/modmii.github.io/master/temp/ohneschwanzenegger.zip)
- [Nand BIN Checker](/assets/files/nandBinCheck.zip)
### Instructions
#### Section I - Preparation
1. Start Ohneschwanzenegger. You may get a Windows SmartScreen prompt, this is a false positive and you can run the program anyway by pressing `More info` and `Run anyway`.
2. Press the `Local Cache` button, create a new folder for the NUS cache to be output in, and then press OK. An example folder is given below.
![](/images/factory-reset/nuscache.png)
3. Press `Nand Dump` on the toolbar, and then press `New nand`. This should open a pop-up window where you can adjust parameters for a new NAND dump. Press the large `Existing Nand...` button and find your existing NAND dump from your Wii.
![](/images/factory-reset/newnand.png)
4. This will fill in information such as the keys, Boot 1/2, and your bad blocks automatically. ONLY change the Destination box to `./blankNand.bin`, which will output the NAND to the program folder with the name `blankNand.bin`. Then, press OK.
![](/images/factory-reset/renamenand.png)
#### Section II - Creating a Blank NAND
1. Now that the NAND is loaded into the program, select `Content` on the toolbar and then press Format. This will initialize your BLANK NAND, not your backup NAND.
![](/images/factory-reset/formatnand.png)
2. Select the top left text box in the program and type in the Wii System Menu version that you need the NAND to have. Note that this should optimally be the version that your NAND was previously using. This NAND was using `4.3U`. Other valid examples are `3.2U`, `4.3E`, or `3.4J`.
![](/images/factory-reset/sysmenu.png)
3. Once you have confirmed you have entered the version of the menu that you want, press enter or `Get It!`. This will begin downloading the menu from NUS servers, with the progress displayed in the program.
![](/images/factory-reset/menudownload.png)
4. Once the menu has finished downloading, a pop-up will display showing the settings appended to the NAND. It will be autofilled depending on what was in your NAND, although the serial number may be incorrect. You can edit this if you would like, otherwise keep everything blank and press OK.
![](/images/factory-reset/settings.png)
5. Next, press `Content` on the taskbar and press `Write meta entries`. Then, go back to the menu and press `Flush`. You may then close the window.
![](/images/factory-reset/finalsteps.png)
#### Section III - Verifying the NAND
1. If NAND Bin Checker is not already in the same directory as Ohneschwanzenegger, copy it there now. Then, open a terminal in that directory. Run the following command: `.\nandBinCheck.exe .\blankNand.bin`. If you named the NAND something else, adjust the command accordingly. The program will then check the validity of the NAND.
![](/images/factory-reset/nandcheck.png)
2. If all is well, the result should look similar to the below. If there are ANY errors that stand out, DO NOT use this NAND and try again as it may damage or permanantly brick your Wii. If you continue to get these errors on further attempts, go to the Nintendo Homebrew discord server for support.
![](/images/factory-reset/nandcheckresult.png)
3. Move the `blankNand.bin` to your Wii SD card and rename it to `nand.bin` so that it can be flashed by BootMii. Remember not to overwrite your existing NAND!
![](/images/factory-reset/nandname.png)
[Continue to BootMii Recovery](bootmiirecover)
Now that you have a blank NAND, you can restore it on your Wii using BootMii.

title: "Nintendont"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
{: .notice--info}
### Requirements
* A modded Wii
* An SD card or USB device
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
### Installation
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
### Quick Start Guide
#### Key Features
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
#### User Interface
![Nintendont UI](/images/usb-loaders/nintendont-ui.png)
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
#### Properly Launching Games
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
#### BIOS Setup
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
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}
### Requirements
* 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.
1. 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.
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
1. 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.
1. 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.

title: "USB Loaders"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
{: .notice--warning}
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
{: .notice--warning}
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
{: .notice--info}
### Differences between WiiFlow Lite and USB Loader GX
+ WiiFlow Lite has a more advanced user interface in terms of animation and effects, and supports themes.
+ SD cards are fully supported for loading Wii games on WiiFlow Lite.
+ WiiFlow Lite has a plugin system.
+ While the original WiiFlow was last updated in 2014, the WiiFlow Lite fork is still recieving regular updates.
![WiiFlow UI](/images/usb-loaders//wiiflow-ui.png)
+ USB Loader GX is primarily modeled after the Wii Menu, and supports themes.
+ While SD cards were previously unsupported for loading Wii games on USB Loader GX, recent updates have introduced support into the loader. Compatability may be hit or miss.
+ USB Loader GX has no plugin system.
+ USB Loader GX still recieves regular updates.

### WiiFlow Lite
#### Requirements
+ A modded Wii
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
#### Installation
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
#### Quick Start Guide
##### General
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
##### User Interface
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
+ Star - View games you favorited.
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
+ Game Type - Toggles between different types of apps/games. The logo changes depending on what game type you have selected.
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
+ House - Opens the menu below. The menu can also be launched by pressing the home button.
![WiiFlow Menu](/images/usb-loaders/wiiflow-menu.png)
+ Help Guide - Shows all the controls you can use in WiiFlow.
+ Reload Cache - Press this to allow WiiFlow to rescan for games on the USB device or SD card.
+ File Explorer - Allows you to explore the directory listing on your USB device or SD card and select an individual game or executable.
+ Select Plugins - Allows you to select plugins.
+ Credits - Shows the people who worked on WiiFlow.
+ Shutdown - Allows you to go into full shutdown or standby mode.
+ Exit To - Lets you exit to Wii Menu, Homebrew Channel, neek2o, Priiloader, or Bootmii.
+ Settings - Opens the global WiiFlow settings menu.
### USB Loader GX
#### Requirements
+ A modded Wii
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
#### Installation
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
#### Quick Start Guide
##### General
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
+ 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 the amount of games you have.
+ 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 the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
##### User Interface
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.

title: "GameCube Backup Manager"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
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.
### Requirements
* 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.
1. 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.
1. 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.
1. 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.
1. 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.

title: "Nintendont"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
{: .notice--info}
### Requirements
* A modded Wii
* An SD card or USB device
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
### Installation
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
### Quick Start Guide
#### Key Features
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
#### User Interface
![Nintendont UI](/images/usb-loaders/nintendont-ui.png)
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
#### Properly Launching Games
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
#### BIOS Setup
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

title: "Riivolution"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
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}
### Requirements
* 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.
1. 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.
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
1. 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.
1. 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.

title: "USB Loaders"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
{: .notice--warning}
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
{: .notice--warning}
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
{: .notice--info}
### Differences between WiiFlow Lite and USB Loader GX
+ WiiFlow Lite has a more advanced user interface in terms of animation and effects, and supports themes.
+ SD cards are fully supported for loading Wii games on WiiFlow Lite.
+ WiiFlow Lite has a plugin system.
+ While the original WiiFlow was last updated in 2014, the WiiFlow Lite fork is still recieving regular updates.
![WiiFlow UI](/images/usb-loaders//wiiflow-ui.png)
+ USB Loader GX is primarily modeled after the Wii Menu, and supports themes.
+ While SD cards were previously unsupported for loading Wii games on USB Loader GX, recent updates have introduced support into the loader. Compatability may be hit or miss.
+ USB Loader GX has no plugin system.
+ USB Loader GX still recieves regular updates.
![USB Loader GX UI](/images/usb-loaders/usbloadergx-ui.png)
### Game Directory Structure
```
💾 SD Card or USB Drives

### WiiFlow Lite
#### Requirements
+ A modded Wii
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
#### Installation
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
#### Quick Start Guide
##### General
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
##### User Interface
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
+ Star - View games you favorited.
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
+ Game Type - Toggles between different types of apps/games. The logo changes depending on what game type you have selected.

BootMii allows for backing up and restoring your Wii's NAND storage. This page will guide you in backing up your Wii's NAND to an SD Card, which you can then use however you like.
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. This page will guide you in backing up your Wii's NAND to an SD Card, which you can then use however you like.
Family edition Wiis (Wiis without GameCube ports) CANNOT restore NAND backups. This is because of the lack of GameCube ports which are required on non-boot2 Wiis to enter the restoration confirmation code. Regardless, it is still recommended to make one on these consoles.
{: .notice--danger}
You need an **SD card** to use BootMii at all, but especially to create a NAND backup. If you do not have an SD card on hand right now, you can skip this page, but it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to return to this page later to back up your NAND.
Du brauchst eine **SD-Karte** um eine NAND-Sicherung mittels BootMii zu erstellen. If you do not have one, you can skip this page, although it is highly recommended to make a NAND backup if you can.

Diese Anleitung gibt Anweisungen, wie man ein Backup deines NAND mit BootMii wiederherstellen kann. Bitte beachte, dass dies in der Regel die <strong>letzte</strong> Methode ist, um einen Brick zu reparieren, falls du einen hast und wenn es dein Problem nicht behebt, musst du eventuell nach Unterstützung suchen. If you are still able to enter BootMii, make an attempt to enter the Homebrew Channel instead so that you may attempt to [identify and repair the brick](bricks) using other methods.
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.

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. In Dolphin, go to `File -> Open User Folder`, and find `Wii/title/00000001/00000002/data/cdb.vff`, copy it to your SD card, and use [WiiXplorer](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiixplorer) to restore it in the corresponding location.
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.

#### Cause
A semibrick occurs when a different region Wii Menu or a different region custom theme is installed.

A mail brick occurs when a Wii has too much mail to handle, or when malformed mail is in the Wii Message Board, causing a crash upon booting through normal means. Because the Wii Message Board is always drawn below Wii channels, this causes the Wii Menu to fail before fully loading.

### How risky is hacking my console?
Not very risky to be honest, depending on your console. The Wii requires much less barrier to entry than other consoles, with some exploits requiring nothing more than a Wii and an internet connection. As long as you follow the general advice laid out [here](bricks#brick-prevention), install [BootMii](bootmii) and [Priiloader](priiloader), and use common sense, you should be completely fine!

## Storage Device FAQ
For the [BlueBomb](bluebomb), [str2hax](str2hax), or [FlashHax](flashhax) exploits, you do not need an SD card to hack your Wii; it is highly recommended to grab one anyway for homebrew and other tasks.
Wenn du den BlueBomb-, str2hax- oder FlashHax-Exploit verwendest, benötigst du keine SD-Karte.
{: .notice--info}
FAT32 is the recommended file system for SD cards, see [this guide](https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/Formatting_an_SD_card) on formatting instructions.<br> For USB devices, FAT32 is also recommended, although users should be aware of FAT32 limitations which only allow volumes up to 2TB in size. WBFS was a previously used file system for Wii game backups - today, it is outdated and should not be used.

Mit dem Homebrew-Kanal kannst du Homebrew-Anwendungen ausführen. BootMii ist eine Software durch die der NAND-Speicher deiner Wii gesichert und wiederhergestellt werden kann, und die zusätzlichen Brick-Schutz bietet, wenn sie als boot2 installiert wird.
BootMii can be installed in two ways: directly to a part of the Wii bootloader called boot2, and via an IOS. BootMii under boot2 is preferred as it provides extended brick protection, but Wiis with a vulnerable boot2 are considerably rarer, having been manufactured before 2009. In most cases, installing BootMii as IOS should be fine, as long as you also install [Priiloader](priiloader).

### What is homebrew?
### What is "homebrew"?
**Homebrew** refers to software that was not authorized by the original creator of a piece of hardware - in this case, Nintendo. In order to gain the ability to run homebrew on the Wii, the console must first be modified to run unsigned code.
[**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!
Here are some common examples of what homebrew can do for your Wii:
Here's a list of things you can do using homebrew.
+ [Backup](bootmii) and [restore](bootmiirecover) your Wii's NAND (system memory)
+ Enhance the [brick protection](priiloader) of your Wii
+ Download new homebrew apps with the [Open Shop Channel](osc)
+ [Patch game disc contents](riivolution) to load game modifications
+ Install [themes](themes) on the Wii Menu and in commonly used homebrew apps
+ Back up your [discs](dump-games) and [other installed titles](dump-wads)
+ Install a [USB loader](wii-loaders) to launch Wii (and other console) backups from an external storage device
+ Back up and restore your [Wii](wii-saves) and [GameCube](gcsaves) save files
+ Restore online functionality to both [WiiConnect24](wiiconnect24) and [Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection](wiimmfi)
+ [Backup](bootmii) and [restore](bootmiirecover) copies of your Wii system memory (NAND) using [BootMii](hbc).
+ Protect your Wii from bricks then add hacks to your Wii Menu using [Priiloader](priiloader).
+ Download new homebrew apps with the [Open Shop Channel](hbb).
+ Patch game disc contents (allowing you to load game modifications) using [Riivolution](riivolution).
+ Install themes to your Wii Menu using [MyMenuify](themes).
+ Back up your discs with [CleanRip](/dump-games) and installed games and titles with [Yet Another BlueDump MOD](dump-wads).
+ Back up and restore your Wii save files with [SaveGame Manager GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/savegame_manager_gx).
+ Back up and restore your GameCube save files using [GCMM](gcsaves).
+ Restore discontinued online services using [RiiConnect24](riiconnect24), [Wiimmfi](wiimmfi) and [WiiLink](wiilink).

+ Running homebrew on your Nintendo Wii can be done for free by exploiting bugs in Wii's software. Anyone trying to convince you otherwise is likely attempting to [scam you](https://hbc.hackmii.com/scam).

title: "Nintendont"
---
{% include toc title="Inhalt" %}
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
{: .notice--info}
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
{: .notice--info}
### Anforderungen
* A modded Wii
* An SD card or USB device
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
### Installation
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
### Quick Start Guide
#### Key Features
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
#### User Interface
![](/images/usb-loaders/nintendont-ui.png)
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
#### Properly Launching Games
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
```
💾SD/USB:
┗ 📂games
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
```
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
```
💾SD/USB:
┗ 📂games
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
```
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
```
💾SD/USB:
┗ 📂games
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
```
#### BIOS Setup
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start
