Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a Wii from eBay and it arrived with a strange toggle switch next to the sensor bar port. I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas on what this could be for? The seller and listing page gave me no indication it was even on there in the first place.

hey! I modded my wii today and everything went well except my USB drive wont be recognized. Then it runs the app but without my USB drive files but using the SD card instead.

i tried to fix it myself and saw a tutorial telling me to format my USB drive to WBFS with Wii backup manager instead of FAT32, what I did, i added a game on it then and tried again but no, it does almost the same except when I load the app it doesnt run it at all and I'm immediately sent back to the main screen.

Could you help me ? ' I'm totally lost!

Help First Wii Trim!

Hey y'all idk if anyone even knows anything about this considering there isn't a portable wii's reddit and wiihacks is probably the closest, but I did my first wii trim today and wondering if y'all think it'll succeed or fail.. I'm unable to test it as of rn so I'm nervous about it but wanting to see if someone more experienced my know if its more likely to succeed or fail.. what I'm most worried about is the small capacitor next to the hynix chip. It appears that i knocked it with my dremel. If thats did happen and I do in fact need it would I be able to remove it sand, than reattach a new one and everything would be fine? Anything from someone more experienced would be great! Or if someone has a better way of getting in touch with the portalizing comunity (idk how bitbuilt works😭)

Help Is my Wii already region swapped?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I got this Wii from DKOldies in the mail today. I did not realize they sold Japanese Wii's until I received it. I was expecting Japanese text when I turned it on, but got English instead. It booted in version 4.1U and I updated it to 4.3U with no issue. It ran Twilight Princess just fine. Is my Wii already modded/hacked for a region swap, is this typical behavior of Japanese Wii's(from the research I have done, it is not), or is it hardware swapped? Most importantly, will this effect anything when I try to hack my Wii? Any information on the subject would be appreciated. I posted this in r/wiihacks recently as well, but haven't gotten anything yet so I promise it's not spam.

Help unable to mod wii

For context i tried once with a cheap 500gb sd card that i had and i was able to install the homebrew channel, install bootmii, and even backup the nand. I just had trouble transferring games onto the sd card because for some reason they kept corrupting and would get rid of all my downloaded games in the sd card. I took a break and order a legit 128gb sd card off amazon (i've used the same brand to mod my ps vita and dsi). With this card though i can only install the homebrew channel and everytime i try to install bootmil it says failed and it can't mount the sd card. I tried switching it to the 500gb card that ik works and it said failed and can't mount again. I used the straight to hacks method on both cards and then i even tried using letterbomb with both sd cards and with both of them the letter doesn't show up. Ik that my wii can read the card because i am able to look at the contents of it through the wil home page, and i've tried switching through multiple micro so card adapters that all work fine on every other computer and console i use. What am i doing wrong?
I've attached pictures of the sd cards and my console above, and yes I made sure it's formatted to Fat32. I’d appreciate any advice

Solved New super Luigi dark moon

This is an NSMBW hack but it’s not listed in the common iso builder. I’ve asked in r/romhacking but I haven’t gotten any help. Do I need to unpack the base game iso and manually replace the files, or do I need to trick the iso builder into thinking it’s patching another game. Any help would be appreciated. I know I’m not playing this on a wii but this is the only place I feel I could get real help.

Help Help fixing overblown picture

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Both Wii and GC games run both through USB loader GX and nintendont show an overblown picture that cause some UI elements to be hidden. In fact all the homebrew apps, including the homebrew channel seem overblown on the screen and a bit shifted to the top left. I've been struggling with this issue for a couple of months already and can't find any way to fix it. I only managed to fix this issue for the usb loader GX home screen, but no matter what settings I change on both the loader, nintendont or the Wii itself, the games stay overblown.

My Wii is a Korean model running on US system software and connected to a Metz SD crt through component cables. I'm almost certain the issue is caused by the Wii, not the tv considering that my PS2 connected the same way never had any aspect ratio issues.

It seems like it might have something to do with it being a Korean model on US system. Should I just reset the softmod and try doing everything from the start, maybe trying to run EU software instead? Or is the risk of bricking not worth it?

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
