for point 1.: impossible to put in backups launch backup dvds without a chip

for the hdd, a western digital is a good choice. in 2.5"
there are other compatible brands too of course but in any case avoid hdds with a recovery partition (emulates a cd at the start of the hdd, impossible to remove. makes the hdd undetectable by the wii)
:bravo:

hello it's me again ^^. Well I installed priiloader which apparently installed fine since when I do a reset when I start my wii the priiloader menu shows up, the problem isn't there, it's just that in the hacks.ini I had unchecked showing me the security warning again and it's still there and still asks me to press A so I'm wondering if it really worked, now I'm going to get started on installing wiiflow. I'm also wondering if the fact that I installed neogamma is actually useful for something or not?

Thanks for your answers and sorry to bother you again.

Hi!

for wiiflow I recommend this one:

Wiiflow 2.2beta_249 (r254)


neogamma will be useful to you if you launch your games from DVD (and even then wiiflow does it very well too)

Thanks that's good I downloaded it, all that's missing now is the compatible FAT external hard drive in 2.5". And regarding the hacks.ini how do I do it since it doesn't seem to have worked since the security page is still there when the wii starts even though I had checked it, how do I know if it worked for the rest?
Thanks again.

.... Oops indeed it wasn't ^^" thanks again I just need to buy myself a not too expensive external hard drive and that should be good I'm going to delete neogamma which won't be useful anymore since I'll have wiiflow on the EHD thanks again and I hope it's going to work ^^

Thanks for all the answers and the help provided, you do a great job.

Good evening, and yes it's still me, well I acquired an HDD, the problem is it had a launcher built in and wasn't in the right format, I managed to switch it to exFAT, I don't know if it works or not, it removed the launcher and everything that was lying around on the drive besides (I backed all that up just in case) well I want to install wiiflow just by putting the 3 files present in the wiiflow 2.2 beta pack on the HDD and by plugging it into my wii nothing happens and I don't know how to access my HDD via the wii, would I need a usb loader? the weird thing is that if I put these same files on my SD card and go into HBC I can use wiiflow apparently without any problem.

The HDD I bought is a toshiba stor.e alu 2, that's all I had available and above all there's nothing written on this thing --"

So thanks for your answers

well... yes you need a usb loader and wiiflow is surely the best :bravo: .
Then the launcher on your hdd can really cause a problem and in an unfixable way. :(
Your first partition must be in fat32 and never exFAT.
How does wiiflow react when you launch it?

Well the launcher no longer exists on my HDD, when I put it in exFAT it got deleted (but I saved it to desktop beforehand) so now when I plug it into my PC it doesn't bother me anymore with a program, it does like every other external storage "open with..." how do I partition it in FAT32, I didn't have a choice, there was only exFAT available in device management...

to make a partition on your HDD

you go to your desktop and to Computer or my computer (XP or 7) you right click and manage

then on the left look for disk management

your disks appear in the middle of your screen

look for your HDD

and right click on it delete the partition

afterwards you do new partition and next

primary partition and next

choose the size of your partition and next
this one is to put your covers and your .dol so 3000MB is enough

assign a letter and next

format in fat or fat32 but in fat and next

and start again for each partition from new partition

Good evening I used FAT32 format and I formatted 3GB of my HDD in FAT32, the HDD is recognized by the wii because without the SD card and with wiiflow on the formatted HDD I launch HBC and it finds wiiflow, the problem is I don't know how and in what way to put the rest of my HDD to put the ISOs for the games thanks in advance.

for the other part of your HDD you create a partition with windows, but you don't format it with

you use WBFS Manager to format it in WBFS and put your games in ISO on your HDD

Maybe I haven't said it enough but THANK YOU!!!!!! ^^

Hello again yes I'm back, well I have a little problem with monster hunter tri, everything goes well up to "new game" then black screen and endless beep --" a lot of posts say to switch to cios 223 which I did in the game's options but that works even less, I know I might be off topic but I'd appreciate some clarification thanks.

Actually what I'd like to know is if I install hermes rev 4 and do all the steps mentioned on several forums, will I still be able to read the other games as before or will I have to change the versions every time? thanks

Good evening, I'm new here and I bought my wii a little week ago and I would like to hack it. So for my console's version, it's a 4.1E I think (I found it in the console's settings at the top of the screen) and it turns out there are lots of tutorials on the internet and yours is very clear and it seems quite simple to me. But I'm not reassured if my console crashes because I don't know much about this kind of stuff ^^. Then reading the last pages of the topic, I saw you were talking about other things to install like wad manager or wiiflow and there again for me it's all Greek ^^. So if someone could help me please that would be great. IF you prefer to answer me by PM so as not to clutter this topic because of my ignorance... So, thanks for your help.
Have a good evening ;)

if your console is on 4.1E you can go for it with your eyes closed!!
tutorial done hundreds of times and no problem other than comprehension :bravo:

when you finish the tutorial your wii will be ready to read games from a USB device
that's the BONUS part of the tutorial


wad manager and a program read by the wii (homebrew) which serves to install channels on your wii (like the mii channel or weather)

wiiflow is a USB loader, it reads wii games (super mario and co) that you'll have put on your hard drive

so to sum up
you use wad manager to install wiiflow on your wii to access your wii games

Hi the tutorial works perfectly on my wii on 3.2. Burned games launch without any problem via the disc channel. No more need to go through darkcorp

Ok thanks, so if I understood correctly I have to follow the instructions on the first page and install wiiflow and wad manager. And I wanted to know, how can the console get bricked? It's not for example if it crashes and I cut the power right?

Good evening, it's me again ^^, I have a small issue that I don't really understand, I had managed to play monster hunter tri once after doing the necessary steps and now I can't manage it anymore, as soon as I launch the game in IOS 223 with the 002 error fix I end up with the black screen and the buzzing, so I redid the steps several times hoping to be able to play it again but in vain, if you have an explanation I'm all ears, I also have an almost similar problem on mario and sonic at the winter olympics, right after the vancouver logo I end up with a white screen, I can exit the game unlike monster hunter tri where I'm forced to reboot the wii. thanks in advance and thanks again for your work.

for monster hunter tri

we've already talked about it here:

jeux-wii/probleme-monster-hunter-tri-t5220-45.html

and here

questions-aide-wii/probleme-monster-hunter-3-t5231.html

basically for me

on wii 3.2 E with cios 222 (rev4) ios 38 merged with IOS37

with wiiflow 1.1
in the options:

- french language
- video mode auto patch
- ios 222
- vipatch yes
- block ios loading yes

for mario and sonic at the winter olympics

I don't remember anymore, I'll check when I get home :bravo:

Thanks for your answer but I already knew that, I redid it 2-3 times just in case, so I installed thanks to cios rev20b the ios 37 v5662 on ios 250 then via cios 222 installed v4 put the 222, "use ios 38 merged with 37"

Then I go into wiiflow into monster hunter tri's options and select 222, error 002, and everything you noted even though the first time it had worked I hadn't set all that, and there well still black screen with the same shrill noise as at the very beginning.

Thanks anyway.
