#### List
|

- **DO** make sure you've installed [BootMii](/bootmii) and [Priiloader](/priiloader) to make sure you don't brick your Wii.
|
||||
- **DO** make backups of your Wii NAND regularly with [BootMii](/bootmii).
|
||||
- **DO** install Wii Menu themes if you wish, but only use [our tutorial for it](/themes) carefully. Other tutorials aren't guaranteed to work properly.

|
||||
- **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** or 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 System Menu on a Wii mini other than [d2xl cIOS](/cios-mini). Doing so **will** brick your console if a Wifi card is not soldered to it.
|
||||
- **DO NOT** use any Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection replacement on your Wii except for [Wiimmfi](/wiimmfi). Unfortunately, other replacement servers are vulnerable to an exploit that can brick your Wii if you use them. [RiiConnect24](/riiconnect24) is safe to use as well.

|
||||
* 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.

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.
