I just want to be able to play Project M on my mini but am not sure if that will ever be possible. Most devices do get hacked but this might be to obscure of a device for hackers to bother with. Click to expand.Maybe OP isn't fortunate enough to own every technological wonder in the world that's available for the average consumer to purchase. I know I sure as hell am not that fortunate despite having what I do. And Nintendo isn't shoving anything down anyone's throats. Nintendo isn't forcing anyone to buy it. They can't stop secondhand sales and imports.

Wii remote held sideways is a great controller for NES and all of the Gameboy variations. Classic controller is practically perfect for SNES. Classic Pro or GameCube controller (with the N64 Z-button mapped to the GameCube L button) is good for N64, and GameCube controllers are perfect for GameCube games. You can play every Nintendo console from NES to Wii on a Wii, as well as Sega consoles, Atari, and standalone games like Super Tux.

Here are the relevant sub-menus: • Saving & Loading: You can change the default folders for ROMs, saved games, and cheat files here. • Menu: Here you can tweak how the FCE Ultra GX menu looks and functions (turn the background music off, change the orientation of the Wiimote from vertical to horizontal, etc.). • Network: FCE Ultra GX supports loading ROMs from network shares. If you wanted access to a very large ROM collection without having to store them all permanently on the Wii SD card, this might be worth configuring. • Game Genie: This allows you to use the Game Genie ROM (available at the ROM sites listed above) to load old-school Game Genie codes into the game.

Nintendo just needs to kill the Wii off, and just have Wii U on the market. That way, people want a Nintendo console, they just go with Wii U. You don’t get it, It was the smartest decsion Nintendo could have made. They finally are playing offensively.

(Unless you go and download pirated games,even though you don't have the original games.) (So don't do that!) This softmod/hack works for any wii! Old Wii's, New Wii's, VIrgin Wii's, Korean Wii's, Japanese WIi's, Softmodded Wii's, Hardmodded Wii's etc. Password = NOT-A-PIRATE (This is the password for any downloaded files) Softmoding can brick your wii, this is very highly unlikely. Accept this fact or stop now.

Troubleshooting Skills and Common Sense Wii Firmware – The Wii has many different firmware versions available that may be installed into the Wii Console. It is important that the Wii Firmware is below a certain “menu” version to have full compatibility with the Wii Homebrew.

Piracy is simply theft. Don't talk about stealing something, whether you've done it, or are going to do it. If you have obtained what you're talking about in a way the law would consider stealing, you're violating the piracy rule.

How to Install the Wii Homebrew Channel Find the free tools you need to get the job done. Share Pin Email Print Homebrew channel launch screen. Homebrew Channel/screenshot Gaming. Nintendo Xbox PlayStation PC Mobile Minecraft Classic Games by Charles Herold. Updated July 09, 2018 Ready to install homebrew your Wii. The Wii has both a slot for an SD card in the front of the unit almost resembling a memory card slot. The SD card slot was intended for saving small things like on system pictures and uploading pictures from your camera.

A great option to try that will allow users to find media playback homebrew (including DVD playback) is the Homebrew Browser available. Troubleshooting – Depending on the Wii system version, the hardware installed, the firmware installed, etc., it may not be possible to run homebrew software capable of playing DVDs on the Wii. There may be simple fixes available to help get the DVD functionality unlocked on the Wii that require extra steps. Be sure to read all of the available documentation and research the available options that make it possible for Homebrew DVD playback to work on the Wii Console.

Im certainly hoping this will be hacked at some point. There is a USB port on the back though I am not sure if it is for just powering peripherals or if it is capable of any type of data transfer.

• Go to Wii Settings. • Go to page 2 of the settings, then click on Internet.

Obviously retailers are stupid by doing this but still hopefully this teaches Nintendo something. This year should be about the Wii U for the most part. The 3DS is printing money weekly so Nintendo shouldn’t worry about it too much. I mean even now I see more 3DS ads then Wii U ads. Hopefully this also teaches Nintendo not to ride one name to long.

Now you need to find a special message indicated by a red envelope containing a cartoon bomb (see screenshot). • This will most likely be in yesterday's mail, so click the blue arrow to the left to go to the previous day. According to the instructions, it could also turn up in today or two days ago. • Once you find the envelope, click on it.

Mod chips also allow for: Launching copied or backed up game discs – Several pre-modded chips are specially designed to allow copied game media to run. Both Wii and GameCube discs can be copied to various types of DVD media. Installing and running Wii virtual console games and channels – By using specialized processes, installing Wii virtual console games and downloadable content and channels is possible without actually purchasing them from the Shop Channel. The process may be complicated for the novice user and the availability of software to install on the Wii will vary online. Using unlicensed homebrew applications and games – Homebrew is software that programmers unofficially code, which often release the software for free online. Some mod chips allow users to install and use homebrew software on the Wii. Homebrew software is constantly being updated and available through a wide variety of sources.

I have a Gamecube and all the Nintendo and Sega systems so virtual console was useless to me anyways as I had a large library of games pre 2006. Wi-Fi was always a joke on the Wii and I have yet to play an online game that runs well on it. I picked up the mini because I have no need for 2 machines that play Gamecube games and the system is a good deal, especially considering that new Remotes and Nunchuks still go for 60$. I just want to be able to play Project M on my mini but am not sure if that will ever be possible.

Click to expand.Gonna test this out on a couple Wiis I've got the keys for (haven't got the parts I need to put this on a wii mini quite yet.) This could be the gateway into Wii mini homebrew, of course, if it works. Also, gonna use those dumps to test if a brute-force NAND cracking program I'm gonna write works. If so, we could totally brute-force our way into Wii mini NANDs (albeit, probably one a month or however long it takes to find the right 128 bit key, since there are [ 128! - 1 3.4x10^38] possibilities.).

Also, can you post a picture of the SD traces you were talking about? And please tell me the DD has the same ribbon cable as the Wii's so we can just use a WiiKey. Correct me if I'm wrong but if we find a way to ignore the boot checks on a Wii, like your trying to do anyways, then transplanting the name should work? You could essentially solder in a PCB with the resistors for GameCube controllers into it for GC support. A board like that shouldn't be to hard to fab.

• One copy of emulation. • One copy of emulation. • At least one game ROM for each emulator you’re installing. First, this project requires a soft-modded Wii unit that can run homebrew software. While we have shown you, new editions of the Wii operating system software require different techniques for soft-modding. Therefore, we strongly suggest you read over to ensure you are performing the correct mod technique for your particular Wii. Make sure to while you’re at it.

Kind of a long process that PROBABLY wouldn't work, but you never know. Also, can you post a picture of the SD traces you were talking about? And please tell me the DD has the same ribbon cable as the Wii's so we can just use a WiiKey.

Just thinking out loud, but it would take some of the work out of miniaturization.

I would hope that in light of the situation Wii U Daily could in fact place a ban on these individuals. According to the wealth of evidence towards their harassment and to the extent in which they are willing to go in order to carry out that harassment. Honestly I won’t be satisfied with anything less than that because although I thoroughly enjoy posting here. It’s not worth the cost of my privacy, personal information or the hijacking of my PC as outlined in the screenshots provided. Which may in turn lead to identity theft/ credit card theft/ email theft etc. Therefore if no action is to be taken. I will have only the option to browse elsewhere entirely for Nintendo related news.

Haven't been here in a while, school and all I have, however been wondering about something. Can we get some people who have softmodded their wiis, but still have the original serial number to post original serial and NAND key? I would've done this myself with the few wiis I've got here, but the shells are all mixed up so I don't know which serial goes to which wii.

I enjoy being able to swap in games without having to turn the machine on. Also, the system's design and red remote/nunchuk look very sleek. The Mini itself looks like a famicom, the design reminds me of classic Nintendo in general.

I'm starting this thread to get the Wii Mini hacked. All ideas, known methods, and discussion should go here.

That seems like a rather large negative. I actually think component cables might work. I have somehow lost mine and had to order replacements - but comparing the ports on the back of the Wii Mini with the original Wii, the only thing missing is the second USB port.

• A computer with Internet Access. • An SD Card reader for your computer. Things you should know: If you don’t know what homebrew is,. The Wii was not designed by Nintendo to support homebrew.

If so still a good deal Also if you have the US version which I didn’t you should have LTE support as well •. Zorpix, Any chance of an assist with a rather insistent group of serial trouble makers?

Leave it that way. • The page has a recaptcha security system. After filling in the words, you have a choice between clicking Cut the red wire or Cut the blue wire. As far as we can tell it doesn't make any difference which one you click.

You should also. It is a good idea to read the before proceeding. The first thing you will need is an SD card and an SD card reader connected to your PC. It is a good idea to format your SD card before you begin; I had a number of problems with homebrew applications that were fixed after I reformatted my card. I formatted it in FAT16 (also just called FAT) on the advice of who says the Wii reads and writes faster using FAT16 than FAT32. If you have previously used the SD card to install or attempt to install homebrew you might have a file on your SD card called boot.dol.

Optionally you can also put some applications on your SD Card at this point, or you can wait until you make sure everything installs okay before you bother with that. In this guide, I will choose the latter option.

After the extraction is finished, go ahead and check out the /snes9xgx/ folder on the root of the SD card. Here you’ll find the same folder structure as you did in the NES emulator: one folder for cheats, ROMs, and saves. Select your test ROMs and place them into the /roms/ directory now. Launching and Learning the Emulator: Now that you have your emulator installed and ROM files dumped to the SD card, it’s time to eject the SD card so we can try everything out.

Admittedly they make a very stable OS. But I fail to see the continued innovation that the price tag commands. All the while people are asking me why did you stick with Nokia? They’re dead man! LOL And I’m happily enjoying Windows Phone 8 (I’m only critical of their latest console) and a 44MP camera which pops. Plus the Lumia 1020 is a sexy device Also using the HTC One X+ daily as well. And I’d even prefer that over the Iphone any day.

How To Mod A Wii Mini

Go into Wii Options --> Data Management --> Save Data --> Wii. Find your Zelda save, click on it, click 'Erase', and click Yes. Open the SD card and select the 'Twilight Hack' save that corresponds to your game region. Note: Some people are having problems with the Wii not 'seeing' the save file on the SD card. If you are experiencing this, try setting the archive bit for the data.bin file - in Windows this can be either be done from the file's properties dialog (right click on it in Windows Explorer and check the box) or from the command line using 'attrib +a '. More info at #wiihelp on Efnet. Click copy and then yes.

If you rename the keys.bin file to the serial of the Wii it came from, you could either email me those renamed keys.bin files, or upload them to. I was hoping Nintendo would be lazy and just use either the serial itself, or some permutation of the serial as the NAND key (eliminating the need to crack it). If we get the NAND key, we're in the console.

There aren't any distracting blue imbedded LEDs. No cluttered menu full of bloat ware that was never supported and could never be removed. This machine is built for playing Wii games and that is it. There are a couple of cons: There is less noise suppression for the disc drive than the original model Wii so you'll hear the laser moving about spooling data. Not a big deal if you're used to playing a Dreamcast or early model Playstation 2 - but enough that it's noticeable compared to say a WiiU or PS3. There is no SD card slot so players who like to upload homebrew or store their 'back ups' on an external drive will be out of luck. That's not a con for me but I know many Racketfolk prefer that option.

• Once the main menu is up, click on the envelope in the circle on the lower right of the screen. • This takes you to your Wii Message Board. Now you need to find a special message indicated by a red envelope containing a cartoon bomb (see screenshot). • This will most likely be in yesterday's mail, so click the blue arrow to the left to go to the previous day. According to the instructions, it could also turn up in today or two days ago. • Once you find the envelope, click on it.

I now have a flat panel HD TV and SD signals don't look so good and if I recall it would be stuck at the 4:3 ratio rather than 16:9. I appreciate the review by the way. I see now who this system would be perfect for. At the $99 price point it ain't bad at all. I got the WiiU largely for the same reason. My only gripe is that many Wii games when played on the WiiU (especially 3rd party titles) make that WiiU laser move back and forth like a busboy in during lunch rush.

If you see information that is incorrect, please say so. Without further ado, here is what we (I) do know: Method -> PASS/FAIL/POSSIBLE -> REASON LetterBomb-> FAIL -> No internet and no SD Twilight Hack-> FAIL-> Sysmenu 3.0 required and no SD Lego Hacks-> FAIL -> No SD WiiKey -> POSSIBLE -> Nobody has tried this yet Wii NAND swap -> FAIL -> NAND is married to system, no swapping allowed Solder in SD slot -> POSSIBLE -> Nobody has tried this yet. I have 2 wii minis, but I shipped one off to cheese. The Wii mini has potential. It uses the same hardware chips as far as I can tell, so it still has the same data lines. Im 90% sure one cluster of test pads run to the SD card lines. It also uses the same video chip, so component video could be a possibility.
