basically I made a blunder by installing starfall on the US wii, I just went back and carefully looked at your tutorial, it does talk about European version...

can I uninstall just by relaunching and setting it to "not installed"?
and is there the same thing for a US wii?

thanks wantose :)

No no need.

If I set European Wii it's for the Twilight Hack save because I used the European version.

Apparently we could also install the other starfall options.
Personally I'd like to install region free to avoid launching something else to be sure import games work and the wii background music which is too stressful for me

so why in your tutorial do you advise installing only the last 3 options?

thanks again for your help

and as the post says, it's been out a while and it's only now that we're talking about it and no news from the programmer

Because that's what's necessary for the brick protection.

But otherwise I don't know what the rest means, especially the 4th from the end.

For the 4th option that's to remove the wii menu music
I'd like to activate it in addition to region free

https://wiigen.fr/index.php?option=com_ ... 6&Itemid=1

So can we or can we not activate the other options
thanks a lot

hi, this tutorial really interests me,

But I don't really know if it's really useful lol, do you advise me to install it? if so I have a few questions

1- If I install it will my Wii not lose its warranty? It's still a big installation (it's still under warranty for 11 more months. lol
2- Do I need to uninstall all the cIOS I installed? and also my Backup channel? and reinstall them afterwards? will that work?
3- also with the cIOS and starfall it won't work, right? I don't really understand :s

Thanks for answering.

You don't lose your warranty since you can uninstall it without any problem. It's not a big installation (barely 2s to install)
2- Do I need to uninstall all the cIOS I installed? and also my Backup channel? and reinstall them afterwards? will that work?
No that has nothing to do with starfall ;) Leave them of course.
3- also with the cIOS and starfall it won't work, right? I don't really understand :s
They're two totally different things, and no worries at all, CIOS and Starfall together ;)

CIOS = A package that modifies part of a system IOS used by the wii.
StarFall = Modifies certain parts of the System Menu files ;)

If you prefer, the System Menu is Windows XP, and the IOS are the system DLLs (it's an image!! :D )
Starfall modifies certain functions of the Wii Menu to allow certain blocked things.
The CIOS modify the IOS used by games and channels. (= plugins for PC for example)

No need for a Gamecube controller to install, the Gamecube controller is only used to launch rescue Mode if your wii is bricked, but for now it's not necessary :D

Yet just before step 3 "III) What to do if my Wii is bricked?"

It says:

- Turn off your Wii.
- Plug in your Gamecube controller.
- Turn on your Wii while holding the "Y" button on the controller.
- A black screen appears showing "3.2E".
- The installation of your Wii's brick protection is complete.

Can we try pressing "Y" to launch the game, without loading the Twilight save?

Just to see if the recovery mod works?

Yes of course, it will work that's for sure, I tested it dozens of times to be sure ;)

And it won't damage your console, just turn it off and restart it and you're back at the wii menu...

When you turn off your console do you turn it off by pressing the button or menu/quit? :roll: :lol:

Hello, I just got the WII for Christmas and I'm going through all your info on the WII hack.
I'd like to know if Starfall can be used with a wireless GameCube controller?

Specifically, what are the risks of bricking if we install starfall?
Can I let the kids play with the wii without problems?

As long as they don't install anything on it (WAD, CIOS) it's fine.

Don't leave them the SD card, without an SD card they can't do anything, also warn them not to update the wii via internet.

Fortunately Starfall blocks updates via DVD, so no worries there ;)
