UPDATE!! The DNS Settings have changed. Primary DNS is Now "3.143.163.250" and you can leave the secondary as is.

edit: The one from the video may work for now, but soon, it will be fully switched to the new one)

Just got done HomeBrewing a vWii and an old Wii - could not have done it with out your high-quality and super-detailed and helpful videos. Keep it up!

[river-sama]

This was literally seamless. After attempting to mod my 3ds to no avail, I dug up my dusty Wii and was worried this would give just as many problems. Not a single hitch! Thanks, man!

[marilynperry-zkot]

I'm lovin this video, I have no idea what I'm doing but it sure is fun to learn. I've had this WII since 2007, my kids used it for awhile then moved on. My grandkids wanted to play but the drive didn't work, found a tutorial on how to change it. Now I'm excited to find out what else it can do. My son says video games are good for my lazy brain, and I think he may be right.Again thank you for taking the time to do this.

So, I just got everything done and it was seamless. Thanks a million Scott!! I haven’t even used a pc in a while and this was so simple. Follow the steps and you’re set.

For those who want to set up your games. Scott told us to make the “wbfs” file on the sd card/flash drive, i however got my games straight wbfs with the ID number and all. Your games should be (wbfs)~New Super Mario Bros [UE2014] (game folder)~UE2014.wbfs (actual game)
The next thing is I had a bit of an issue with formatting my micro sd w/ sd adapter to FAT32. All problems of my own doing. Ensure the micro sd card is properly secured in the adapter, ensure the lock on the side of the adapter is slid up and not down, ensure that when you are going to format the sd card it is not open in files, if it is open or opens automatically once inserted close the window then format. That was it. Just did everything in the video in under 30mins.

Let me just say, I wish I had your videos when I first got into Wii modding more than ten years ago. This would've made our life so much easier! Such clear and concise step-by-step explanation... Just amazing work. Thank you!

I hope you have a beautiful wife 10 amazing childeren a job you love 4 cars and lots of money

I ended up running into a few issues, but so far I've gotten things figured out
here's what I found just in case this helps someone:
if you're getting an error screen such as "exception occurred [lots of numbers]', you're likely using a wii controller like I was. turns out, you can only use the default wii remote when working these things.
another error I got was when trying to install bootmii, it said "ERROR (-1)", something about my sd card came up. there's a few ways you can try, such as:
making sure your sd slider is in the unlock position
formatting your sd into fat32, or if neither of the above work,
follow a guide for the letterbomb exploit, its another way of opening the hackmii menu as far as I know. bootmii was able to work just fine after I did that :D

[oingusboingus]

this tutorial was really helpful! You cover everything and make sure no one's confused. I do got one problem but I can figure that out on my own (I have no idea how to scroll on the homebrew browser).

[aimvee]

Followed this work for word!! Absolutely flawless! Thank you so much.
I went into it thinking it was going to be a lot more complicated than what it was.
You explained everything very clear and for somebody like myself that was needed and appreciated.
I can't imagine the time it took to put this video together.
You rock! Thanks Again

[funkyscott]

I have remade part of the video to match the new CIOS installer Settings and reuploaded, just in case anyone was curious :P

[danyboy]

Hey Scott! Im not that tech savy and boy, did it take me a while, BUT after almost 6hrs with all other research included and your genuine guidance, even I (which means A LOT) got it to work :D

I am eternally grateful to you.
You have provided my friends and I with limitless fun :)

[kodiakbeauchamp]

I've been following your Wii playlist this last few days and I've successfully got my Wii to be the ultimate system. Your videos explain everything so thoroughly. <3

[shawnknox]

Dude thanks so much for all the Wii Homebrew information. Definitely the best tutorials out there. My Wii is no longer collecting dust because of you! All the best!

[aidn_]

One of the best tutorials I have ever watched. Thank you got this lovely experience

[cavalierwlf]

Hands down the best tutorial for this. You explained everything in detail and it was super easy to follow, Thank You. Now I'm off to learn more. :D

[Kittygrl]

for anyone who can't connect to the internet: this may be because the wii doesn't support modern internet standards the fix is only available for android phones since ios doesn't let you change hotspot specifications
go to settings -> mobile hotspot -> band 2.4 GHz -> security: open
then you connect on your wii from there and it should work

[EvanRespess]

10:13 I don't know if this has already been commented, but if you have a Gamecube controller, you can navigate BootMii using the D-pad.

[joeltb]

Wow, this is amazing. Thanks for sharing this how-to. This is the most complete one out there that I have seen. I am going to try this today when my Wii arrives in the mail...

[Aloxite]

This tutorial is really helpful and was overall very easy to follow. Thank you

A couple things that I would like add with the hiccups I faced during the process though:
1) Yes, SDXC cards (SD Cards over 32GB) do work as long as you format them to FAT32 with 32kb or 16kb cluster size (32kb is ideal). You also have to format the partition as Primary, NOT Logical. If you format the partition as Logical BootMii will refuse to load and the disk will blink blue and you have to force shut the Wii down.
2) Since I used a MicroSD to SD card adapter, sometimes the Wii will refuse to read the MicroSD. This was due to me removing the MicroSD and inserting it into a MicroSD to USB adapter and reconnecting it. I think the connections were not working sometimes when reinserting it so if your sd card slot in your PC does not work for some reason, use a full SD card to USB adapter and avoid removing the MicroSD from the SD Card adapter.
