thanks, yes you're right I had to edit 64 times to make it!
because at the start it was dugland's help topic!
then the reply became a tutorial, then I decided to make it a real tutorial!

there.
but I have plenty of ideas for what's next.
there, I'm happy to help people looking for a simple tutorial.

Great tutorial, I tried it on my black 4.1 e wii everything works, games launch via wiiflow, the only snag is that the channels I install like the wiiflow one or neo gamma r7 don't work well, I get a black screen whereas if I launch them from the homebrew channel everything works why?

Install the channels in .wad with wad manager.
you must create a wad folder (where you'll put the .wad here) at the root.
your memory card must be formatted in fat32.
you launch wadmanager:
" + " to install
" - " to uninstall.

take a forwarder (which launches using the boot.dol contained on your SD.).

you need to take the wiiflow pack in full version!

apps/wiiflow/icon+meta.xlm+boot.dol
wad/Wiiflow StarNight Channel Forwarder-WSNF.wad
wiiflow/themes/cabonik+default
wiiflow/titles.ini+language.ini

you can replace the boot.dol with the more recent openwiiflow one.
no worries.

Ok, thanks, I'll go introduce myself.
With an external usb drive I hope it'll work.

I hope it'll work because I have a black wii and I checked the dvd code it's not a good one.

And my external usb hard drive doesn't get power directly I have to plug it into the mains, will that be a problem?
Thanks for the reply.

And how can I play divx and mp3 on my wii, if dvd isn't compatible?

Normally Wii, :mrgreen:
all black wiis (and all new wiis) as far as I know have this new drive.
The problem with an external hard drive (3.5 I assume)
is that you have to disconnect and reconnect it every time..
it's more of a hassle than anything else...
whereas with a 2.5 (laptop hard drive), self-powered on usb port
it turns off directly with the wii and starts back up at the same time, so completely invisible operation.
(if the hard drive is compatible)

yes, you can play divx and mp3 on the wii from an SD card or a USB stick.
with this new drive it seems impossible to launch it from the dvd drive.
I'll post links later.

hello I have 2 noob questions I'm getting ready to hack a black wii and I'd like to know if

1: is it possible to play GC games with wiiflow or others

2: whether installing banner bomb carries a risk of bricking because at that point if I understood correctly
no protection is in place

so I hope these questions are in the right place and thanks in advance

What's the brand and model of your hdd? There's a specific way to partition and format it. If you don't know ask ;)

No GC on HDD.

and you don't install bannerbomb, you use it to launch homebrews.

I haven't partitioned it.
I formatted it with WBFS manager and I copy my iso games into it.

clearly your HDD is compatible with usloader (I recommend Wiiflow 1.1) :74:

However if you want to play divx you need to partition your HDD. you need to make 2 main partitions: the first one in ntfs for divx and another one at the end to reformat in WBFS. But if you've already put games on your HDD, you'll have to start all over again. But either way 1To for wii games is already a lot, with 500Go you should be able to install more or less 200 games. ^^

then you'll need hermes' cIOS 222/223 and specifically cIOS202 for divx and DVD video that you can play with MPlayer CE. Keep in mind that burned DVDs reduce the drive's lifespan. Personally I don't use it at all anymore since I got wiiflow and my HDD with 2 partitions.

Thanks a lot for your answers, that's very nice of you.
Since it takes a very long time to put the isos on the hard drive about 20min per game, I'm going to leave it like that.

Could I play divx via the wii's drive, since it's one of those tamper-proof drives?

So that shouldn't cause a problem with my hard drive, then. With the program you recommend.

Tell me, could you tell me how long it takes to flash the wii if you follow the tutorial.

I'll try monday, I hope it all goes well, if I have more questions, I can ask you, thanks to you for your answers.

It's really a shame to use a 1To HDD only for wii games especially since the wii's memory for saves is very limited. The time you'll spend transferring everything back isn't worth it but hey it's up to you.

Otherwise yes you can play divx on DVD but I'll say it again reading burned DVDs with the Wii will shorten its lifespan in an unpredictable way.

For games I recommend Wiiflow 1.1 and as a media player MPlayer CE whatever the medium.

And I can't tell you how long a hack takes, it depends on the errors you make or not, on your internet connection, and plenty of other parameters I'm not thinking of :P But count it in hours.

at your service for any other questions ;)
