IF you want an enclosure for your old IDE drives: http://www.amazon.com/3-5-IDE-HDD-Enclosure-Black/dp/B0018NEQFI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277829520&sr=8-4 I have one of these, it works fine on the Wii and everything else. Even if you go with the flash drive on your Wii, this will still be useful for your regular computers.

Can't hurt as long as you backup whatever's on the thing first. One of mine worked, but I've since switched to a SATA drive running in a cheap enclosure.

So the Indiana Pwnes hack still works on 4.3, but the latest version of the Hackmii installer (0.6) won't install homebrew. Is there another version i'm missing? Or is there an alternative?

I have a Japanese Wii with the homebrew channel. I just got the Netflix Wii disc in the mail, but I get a black screen when I try to run it. How do I get Netflix working on a hacked Wii?

Homebrew doesn't affect Netflix. Perhaps the disc is NTSC only? What if you try running it from a loader?

How do I get Netflix working on a hacked Wii? You're probably lacking or having an old version of some IOS it needs. If you're not already on 4.2, you could try using NUS Auto Downloader which everyone in this thread are recommending, it helps you update all IOSes in addition to the System Menu. I haven't had the chance to try the thing myself, but it seems to support all regions.

Anyone have any idea why I can't get game images showing in Triiforce? At first I was using the auto-sd load from Marc's Pack (R 2.2), wouldn't show any images and alot of the game titles were showing up like WSAE, just an example. Changed to v10b, now the titles are all showing their respective names however even after downloading via the TF menu itself and restarting, still no dice. Have also tried downloading an image pack and placing it in /triiforce on the SD root, no luck yet again :\ Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I downloaded a few save files to put on my Wii. A couple of them have the copy protection and I figured I would use the save game manager to transfer them; however, when I try to view them in the app, they don't show up. Am I doing something wrong?? They are .bin files btw. Edit: Fixed it! Priiloader is awesome! (No save copy protection) ROOMBA floorvac fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Jul 7, 2010 |

So, I got myself Sakura Wars and it's apparently the biggest pain in the arse to install. So bad, in fact, that, when installed, it took out two installed games on my hdd, nothing big or irreplaceable but still. It apparently installs to about 60% and then calls it installed, no "Banner" music when clicked or nothing. I mean it's not that big an issue; I can load it though Gekko but whatever nonsense they've put on it is stopping my DVD drive from reading it so even that way isn't working.

Did they ever get loading the main dol in metroid prime trilogy to work in any of the USB loaders - I know I can just go to MP1-3 via their dol files (usbloader gx prompts me at least) but then I guess its not associated with that little profile I start in the trilogy menu that consolidates all your info about completion % and poo poo. edit: I'm using whatever the last stable release of usb loader gx is and cios 249 if that matters. rev19 with whatever the default ios was (I never got around to installing the hermes one other than 202)

No as of yet there is no way to set up Metroid Prime to load normally you still have to use the separate boot dols. But if you want to associate the saves with a profile make a profile by loading the game normal then use the alt dol and it should be associated.

I had a close call tonight with Wii Update. One of my friends wanted to play the New Super Mario Bros Wii disc that was in my system, so he clicked on the icon for the disc, which was flashing "SYSTEM UPDATE" in giant letters. Before I could stop it, he was updating my system. Luckily, I had the foresight to install Priiloader, which disabled the update and allowed him to play the game without removing the Homebrew Channel. The moral of the story is that Priiloader is a drat good thing.

I'm pretty sure I just don't see "system update?" questions in the first place with whatever setting I have. But it's totally possible I'm just confused because I fake-update my Wii when necessary.

You'll need a hacks.ini with the list of hacks and their relevant offsets to use it. Hacks like these also allows you to do things like disable the menu music, or my favorite, skip the health screen on startup.

Priiloader also allows you to boot directly to HBC or whatever DOL you feel like on boot, and can alter where you go when pressing the Home button inside of games, it's pretty neat.

It didn't remove the Homebrew channel, but it does close some of the security. I had to re-exploit the system to get everything working again. Now I just launch Mario Galaxy 2 from the "backup" channel since that has a DVD launch option which also launches regular Wii games.

I know that the home screen is packed in with the rest of the game bundle, but what I assume it does, is altering what the Wii executes when the call to go to the System Menu is used. Experimented a little bit with it a while ago, and even the Homebrew Channel's "go back to System Menu" option was executing the DOL file I had installed. Now I've set it up to go to the Priiloader menu, as it launches in less than a second and provides quick access to everything.

I have not used my Wii in a very long time and I have fallen out of the know when it comes to homebrew. I checked and it seems the homebrew channel is beta 8 so that tells you how long its been. Im trying to catch up right now and there is a lot to catch up on. Can you still not use the shop channel? Its pretty cool that they have been able to do so much. The Wii is technically my roommates and he is afraid of it getting bricked so I am looking to reassure him. If I update to the newest Homebrew channel what do I have to or should I update the Wii at any point? Thanks for all the info in the thread. Sorry for the questions.

Thanks for all the info in the thread. You can remain on 4.2 and install the latest shop channel. Just install the latest HBC, backup your NAND using BootMii (boot2), and you're good to go. Any fuckups can be fixed by a BootMii restore.
