I dont understand anything, I am confused

I explain, for years I have had a Wii that was hacked (I didn't do it) and it is many years old. It only has the usb loader gx and some games get stuck so I thought that maybe I could add more things or update what it already has because they will be old versions, but I have looked and there is no tutorial that explains everything clearly (I also It is difficult to understand more because my first language is not English) so I don't understand.

Homebrew and usb loader are the same? How do I update it? What is generally the best way to do all this? If anyone knows how to explain or have a video that can summarize everything, I would appreciate it since I have no idea about piracy.

Lastly, I have the games on a strange pen on the Wii and I put the games in it with a program called wbfs or something like that, but a friend told me that that is not very good and that I could put a hard drive that works better and it would have more space. Tell me about this too.

Thanks for reading me and sorry if this is something usually asked, but everything is difficult and new for me

Skylanders Characters

Do you have to physically collect all the characters to play them, or is there a way around that?

I made it this far lol.

So I have had my Wii jailbroken for a while but I have no idea what to do now. I’ve had the home brew installed for over a year and haven’t found the motivation to dig through YouTube if anyone has good suggestions to help I’ll greatly appreciate it!

How to bypass Metafortress piracy protection on Kirby: Return to Dreamland

I would like to play Kirby: Return to Dreamland (which for the sake of brevity I shall refer to as K:RtD from here on out) using USBLoaderGX, however it has piracy protection. I have tried:

  • Disabling all patches
  • Putting this gameconfig.txt in the root of my SD card
  • and using cheats while said gameconfig.txt was in the root of my SD card

None of those have worked. Can someone tell me either where I can find a romhack of K:RtD with piracy protection removed, or how to bypass the piracy protection?

Thanks in advance!

what size ssd/hdd and what cables are needed?

hi! I plan on modding my uncles wii, which he seems excited about and i am too since this is my first time modding anything other than my old 2ds, and im looking into it and ssd/hdds seem to be the best option for storage and whatnot . but my only problem is what size to get, what brand(s) and what cable would be needed?

He says hes mainly interested in playing mario games, but i told him that i was like that with pokemon and the 3ds but i ended up playing much more of other stuff when i got alot of games . he thinks thats a good idea from what i can tell, so i plan on hooking him up with more than just mario .

i heard from another reddit comment that if you were to collect all gc games it would be 500gb ballpark, and 2tb ballpark for wii games. so im thinking either 1 or 2tb with partitions for him to get. but then again im not sure what all wii games are even worth looking into for him. which is what im gonna search sometime after posting this . im not experienced in wii modding at all and im only familiar with the use of sd cards for the 3ds family, so yeah

ty!

Is Wii Backup Manager safe?

I downloaded Wii Backup Manager from https://wiibackupmanager.co.uk/. I have heard that Wii Backup Manager can be a virus if downloaded from the wrong place. Is this the official site?

Does anybody know how to fix the infamous issue of USB Loader GX games starting and then booting you back to the Homebrew Channel?

I tried researching and switching USB ports, nothing is working for me. If anybody could help me out here I will appreciate it!

Beer City Games

Hey, I saw a post from around 3 months ago asking about buying a modded wii from this site. I was wondering if anyone knows about them? I purchased from them a few days ago and I have heard nothing. I have reached out on every platform you can imagine and it has been radio silence. I'd really like to just have an update about the order/product itself, but if it isn't meant to be I'll just proceed with trying to get my money back.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. If it doesn't work out, be on the look out for another post asking how to mod my own Wii 😂

I need help making a wbf1 file for Smash Bros Brawl

I modded my WIi Mini and have USB loader GX running but can't get Smash bros to split properly. I'm using Ubuntu and a FAT32 flash drive and when I split the file into two using the terminal it gives me a wbfs and then just a random file and not a wbf1 like I need for smash. Can anyone help me please?

REinstall bootmii on a region changed Korean Wii 4.1U

I bought a second hand Wii , I'm new to Wii homebrew ,

the Wii I bought is already modded , the software version is 4.1U but it's a Korean Wii , it was already modded and had bootmii but when I run it , the screen goes black and the disc drive starts to blink blue , how do I re install bootmii ?

Do I have to run koreankii then update the Wii and remod it again ? As far as I've seen there's a risk of bricking it , it's my first Wii and I don't want to brick it

Is there a way to directly download Wii games straight to the console?

Sounds a little simple, we can download homebrew straight to it with libreshop, so theres got to be a way to like do the same with wiiware and the such.

Please help me understand where to begin

I wanted to buy a wii and mod it (was going to watch tutorials and learn along the way) but the one I got was (un)fortunately already modded, the software version is 4.1U. There are few apps like homebrew channel, neogamma, softchip loader, wadmanager, usbloadergx already installed. My wii would not connect to my WiFi so I used the phones hotspot to connect to it. I updated the homebrew channel but the usbloadergx closes itself when I start it. The homebrew channel has bootmii (I don’t know what it is or what it does), which when I start, the TV goes black and the disc drive starts to blink blue. How do I proceed from here? What do I do? I got a bootleg Wolverine game with it that it plays. Please recommend me where to start. I wanted to get the online functionality back to the channels and get GameCube games displayed in their folders like in the yt videos like I made the ultimate wii

ModMii flagged as trojan

Tried installing ModMii to my PC, my browser flagged the download as expected. I downloaded anyway. Then I got a trojan virus warning from Windows Security, is that also normal? 99% sure I downloaded from the right site and all, through the official wii hacks guide and then the modmii site.

The warning quickly disappeared and it now says the threat is put in quarantine. The threat level is "severe". Just a false positive?
