Step 4: Getting Your Wii Remote to Work As a Game Controller Now that our Wii Remote is connected to our PC, lets use another program to map out the Wii Remote inputs as keyboard inputs so that it will work PC games.

Click to viewUpdate: You can now hack your Wii even more easily, and you don't need to buy anything to do it. Here's how. Despite the fact that it ships with a DVD drive, for whatever godforsaken reason, the Nintendo Wii doesn't support DVD playback—until last week, that is, when a homebrew hacker released a tool that enables DVD playback on your Wii. The best part? You don't have to crack open your Wii or disturb your hardware in any way to install it. Let's take a detailed look at how to softmod your Wii with the Twilight hack to run homebrew apps. Then I'll show you how to install the Wii port of the open source media player, mplayer, to turn your Wii into a DVD (or should I say WiiVD?) player.

All you need is the Homebrew Channel to add your Wii to the hundreds-long list of devices in your house that can play DVDs. Previous DVD hacks required a modded console, but now you can grab a.

What You'll Need

Since we're going to be doing a softmod of your Wii (i.e., we're not modifying any hardware), you don't really need much to accomplish this hack.

Nintendo Wii
An FAT16-Formatted SD Memory Card (more on this below)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess ($50)
The Wii Brew SD Installer (Windows)
A Windows PC with an SD card reader

NOTE: I'm doing this all on a Windows PC, but you can manually install the Twilight Hack if you don't have access to a Windows PC.

The secret sauce lies in the Twilight Princess game. Essentially, we're going to load a fake game into Twilight Princess that exploits a buffer overflow and allows you install homebrew software on your Wii.

Sound complicated? Figuring it out may have been, but the excellent Wii hackers have made exploiting the Twilight hack a cinch.

Hacking Your Wii for Homebrew

To get started, plug your SD card into your computer. It needs to be formatted as a FAT16 filesystem, so find the SD card in My Computer and format it by right-clicking, selecting Format, and setting FAT as your file system. (If you have trouble formatting your SD card this way, try out the SD Card Formatter.)

Now it's time to prepare the SD card with the Twilight Hack. If you haven't already, download the Wii Brew SD Installer. When you've got it, make sure your SD card is plugged in and run the installer. The installer is fairly self-explanatory, but I'll walk you through it.

Choose Your Install Location

This should match the location of the SD card you just formatted above.

Select the Homebrew Features and Twilight Hack

Now you need to select the packages you want to install on your SD card (and, eventually, your Wii). I'd suggest selecting the Homebrew Channel (in fact, you need to if you want this to work), the Homebrew Browser, and DVDX (you'll need this last one for DVD playback). Make sure to select the Twilight Hack that matches your region. Hit Next and the Wii SD Installer will copy all the necessary files to your SD card.

Take Note of Your Twilight Princess Disc

If you're in the U.S., your copy of Twilight Princess is one of three different versions. One of the versions of the disc requires that you use a different save slot when we load the game later on, so just take note of the text on the inner circle of the bottom of the Twilight Princess game disc. (I needed TwilightHack2, for example.)

Perform the Twilight Hack on Your Wii

By this point, your SD card is officially prepared for your Wii. Unplug it from your computer and move over to your Wii. Plug it in and power up your Wii. At this point, you'll need to erase your current Twilight Princess saved game, copy the Twilight hack to your Wii, and execute it in Twilight Princess. (If you haven't played the game and created a save slot, you should do that before proceeding.) The video below from the WiiBrew folks details exactly how to do this.

NOTE: If the installation froze after you loaded the saved game and talked to the man, chances are you need to use the other saved game.

You'll need to accept a disclaimer and go through a few other screens to finish the installation (just use the 1 button on your Wiimote to accept). When it completes, head back to the Wii menu. The glorious new Wii Homebrew Channel awaits.

Turn Your Wii into a DVD Player

Now that you've got the Homebrew Channel installed, setting up DVD support is a breeze. Fire up your the Homebrew Channel from the main Wii menu and you should see the DVDx installer and Homebrew Browser. Click on the DVDx installer and run through the prompt. Hit A to select Normal install unless you've installed a modchip in your Wii. (If you're following this guide, chances are you don't have a modchip.) You've finished the first step.

Now you need to shut off your Wii and plug the SD card back into your computer, because it's time to install mplayer, the app that will play back DVDs on your Wii. You can download it from the HackMii web site at the bottom of this post. (Mplayer appears to be available in the Homebrew Browser, but it's not the version that supports DVD playback, so make sure you download it manually.)

After you've downloaded it, copy the entire mplayer folder to the apps folder on your SD card. Now just take the SD card back to your Wii, plug it in, and run the Homebrew Channel again. This time you should see mplayer next to your other installed apps, like below.

To play back a DVD, just fire up mplayer, insert a DVD, and select the Play DVD option in the mplayer menu. You'll notice two Play DVD menu items, the second of which reads Play DVD (libdvdnav). The libdvdnav attempts to use the built-in DVD menu, while the other just plays the first title. Unfortunately libdvdnav doesn't really work correctly with the Wiimote yet, but it looks to be on its way.

It takes a few seconds for mplayer to start playing the DVD, but once it does it plays without a hitch (or at least it has in all my experience). Thanks to YouTube, here's what it looks like:

The Wiimote/Gamecube controller playback shortcuts work as follows:

A - Pause
B - OSD
1/X - Toggle on screen menu
RIGHT - Seek 10s forward
LEFT - Seek 10s backward
UP - Seek 60s forward
DOWN - Seek 60s backward
+/R - Seek to the next chapter
-/L - Seek to the previous chapter
HOME/Z - Quit

What Else?

Once you've got your Wii opened up to homebrew apps, you've unlocked all kinds of potential, including emulators for old-school gaming consoles, different media players, and other utilities. If you've already got the Homebrew channel running on your Wii, let's hear what homebrew apps you've been using and loving in the comments. If the very idea of hacking your Wii sends shivers down your spine but you'd still like to squeeze out more functionality, check out how to use your Wii as a media center.

FAQ

General
Will this void my warranty?

Yes. Softmodding your Wii is against the TOS (Terms of Service) and will instantly void your warranty. Anyone saying that it does not void your warranty is a liar!

Having/Hosting homebrew is completely Legal, don't worry about that. Piracy however is very illegal!

Do I need anything special for the guide?

An SD card (and an SD card reader for your PC), and of course a Wii :P

Can I get banned from going online if I have Homebrew?

You may get banned if you use Cheat Codes (using Ocarina) while playing online. Otherwise, no.

Does Nintendo know that I have Homebrew if I go online?

Nope. Unless you are using cheat codes during online gameplay, which you should not.

We don't provide a download for the guide. You could always save the web page (right click -> save as...) if you really want to.

You can use the 'Print Page' link on the very bottom to get a slightly more print friendly version of any page.

Does this guide work on LU64+ Wiis?

Does this guide work on system menu X.Y ?

Currently, anything up to 4.3 is supported for all regions.

Yes, Black Wiis are the same as White ones, but they can never read backup discs (use USB loader instead).
Note that newer White wiis can't read backups from disc either.

It will work for any color Wii.

I already softmodded my Wii, can I still use the guide?

Yes, following the Guide again will overwrite any previous hacks.

I have a ModChip installed will that affect anything this mod does?

Your ModChip is there solely for playing dvd backups through the disc channel. Normally, it does not interfere with any softmods.
Be sure you update it regularly though, as it may cause problems when playing backups (for example error #001).

I can't access my shop channel... it boots me back to the main menu?

Make sure your IOSs are up to date (not including stubs) and install the latest shopping channel.

Point to a channel and Hold A+B. To move the disc channel, you need to enable a hack in either Priiloader or StartPatch.

Can I redistribute parts of this guide at other places?

Anything on this site is Licensed under Creative Commons. You are free to redistribute the guide and make changes in it. In return, we ask you to put a simple link back to the site :)

What are bricks?

When you brick your Wii, this means that the system menu can't be used for some parts or completely. Your Wii will essentially be as useful as a brick.

What is the chance of bricking my Wii when using this guide?

If you follow all steps carefully, the chance is pretty much 0.

There are many kinds of bricks. The most common bricks are banner bricks (full bricks) and semi-bricks.

How do I fix bricks?

Depending on the kind of brick, a different method has to be used.

The unbricking method is different for each brick. Go to the section about unbricking.

Hackmii Installer (HBC & BootMii)
What is Homebrew Channel (HBC)?

The HBC is a channel that can launch homebrew. This channel is installed so you don't have to run bannerbomb (or another exploit) each time.

I already have the Homebrew Channel installed, where do I start?

Depends entirely on what you want to do. If you want to use applications like backup loaders, you will need to install a cIOS. Otherwise, most applications will run through the Homebrew Channel as is.

If your Wii is connected to the internet, the Homebrew Channel will automatically check for updates. Otherwise, you can install the latest version through the Hackmii installer. You can run the Hackmii installer like any other app through the HBC itself.

Re-install it with the Hackmii Installer (use the same steps as the initial softmodding process)

My apps don't show up in the Homebrew Channel?

Apps need to be in a specific location on the SD card for them to show up in the Homebrew Channel. See the Homebrew Channel page for more info.

BootMii is (mainly) a brick preventative program that can be installed onyour Wii. Depending on the way you install it, it can give you the best(boot2) or the worst (IOS) brick protection.

This is due to Nintendo patching the exploit used by BootMii to install itself as boot2. More info can be found on the BootMii page.

Wii remotes are not supported by BootMii. You can navigate with a GC controller or the buttons on the Wii.

It boots up to the BootMii Menu instead of the Main Menu, how to solve this?

Rename the BootMii folder or save it elsewhere. You can also use the app BootmiiSwitch, or edit the BootMii.ini file to autoboot the system menu (same as for SNEEK).

What is a cIOS?

A cIOS (custom IOS) is a custom piece of software that lets the Wii run unofficial content. It is used by a variety of applications, like backup loaders and WAD managers.

If you want to use backup loaders or install unofficial channels, then yes. Otherwise, probably not. If you do need one, install the D2X cIOS.

Every cIOS is based on an official IOS made by Nintendo. To this IOS, several patches are applied and the modified IOS is then installed on the Wii.

There is no 'best' base IOS. Every IOS has its own advantages and disadvantages. This guide uses IOS56 and IOS57 as base IOSs in the cIOS Installation guide due to their high compatibility with backup games.

What are IOS249 and IOS250?

The Wii has several slots (256 to be exact) possible slots where (c)IOSs can be installed. Most of them are empty by default. Slots 249 and 250 are usually used for installing cIOSs because they do not contain anything useful on an unmodified system.

But Guide X uses other IOS bases and installs them in other slots...

We are not Guide X. If that guide uses other IOS bases and installs them in different slots, then it will probably have a reason for it.

As said above, we only give a recommendation. You are free to experiment with other base IOSs and slots. Any slot above 200 (other than 254 which is BootMii IOS) should be fine.

How do I check if my cIOSs installed correctly?

If the cIOS installer didn't give any errors and your backup loaders work (load games), then your cIOS should be installed correctly.
You can also use an application called sysCheck to check all IOSs and cIOSs that are installed on the Wii. Some USB loaders may have a similar check built-in as well.

Backup Loaders

A backup launcher is a program that can load backups of a game. This means you don't need to use the original disc to load the game.

What is a USB loader?

The newer generation of Backup Loaders. They are able to load games from a USB device, so that you don't even need to use discs anymore.

Is there a Backup Loader for GameCube games as well?

Help! My Wii doesn't recognize my USB drive!

Make sure to try both USB ports on the Wii. Certain cIOS versions do not recognize both ports.
You should also make sure the cIOS is installed correctly (you can use eg. Syscheck to view all your IOSs).
If it still doesn't work, try asking for help on a support forum, like GBAtemp.net

My game is giving me a black screen when I start it through a loader.

This can have many causes, so it is very hard to debug. Firstly make sure your cIOS version is up to date.

If you have multiple cIOSs installed, you can try changing the settings in your loader to make the game load with a different cIOS.

If you hear sound, but get no image, you can try changing the video mode that the game uses in the settings.

Ok, so I installed the cMIOS/DIOS-MIOS/Devolution, but where is the GameCube Backup launcher?

Use a Wii backup launcher that also supports GameCube games. All the most popular USB loaders support GameCube backups.

How do I create backups of my games?

If you use an USB loader, insert the disc in the Wii and rip the game with your loader. The procedure for doing this depends on the loader.
If you don't want to use a USB loader, you can use this guide.

Garbage data is some random data that can be found on any game disc. It is present to make every game the same size (the size of a DVD, around 4.7GB)

Is DARKCORP OK for LU64+ ?

DARKCORP can be installed on LU64+ Wiis. You most likely won't need to install it, though.

Wii Backup File System. An file system that was invented for USB Loaders. When USB loaders were first released, this file system was used to store games. Nowdays, this system has been replaced by WBFS files, which are placed on a regular FAT32 or NTFS drive.

What is a WBFS Manager?

A computer program that can put ISO files from your PC on a WBFS drive. Some of them can also convert games to .wbfs format to place them on a FAT32 or NTFS drive.

System menu Hacks
Help! I bricked my Wii after installing a theme!

Let's hope you read the warnings and have Preloader (Priiloader) or BootMii as boot2. Use one of these to launch the HBC and install another, working theme.

Yes, but they can conflict on some Wiis so I wouldn't advise it.

Priiloader doesn't see my hacks.ini file. I know its supposed to be on the root of the SD Card. Help?

You are using a SDHC SD Card. You have to use a non-sdhc sd card for this part.

I have Priiloader installed on my 4.2u Wii, I want to updateIOS70 using DOP-Mii. Do i need to change priiloader's settings oranything before doing this?

No, but you'll have to reinstall priiloader afterwards to get rid of the 'Corrupt System files' message.

SNEEK (SD NAND/ES Emulation Kit) allows you to Emulate your NAND (Wii internal memory), so you don't need to use the real one.

Why don't my WiiMotes Sync?

A Wiimote can only be Synced to one console at a time. SNEEK acts as a totally different console, thus you will need to resync the Wiimotes using the Red buttons when changing NANDs.
