str2hax servers are currently unavailable. Please use [another exploit](get-started).

{: .notice--danger}

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.
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
* A Wii with an Internet connection
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
