Pimp My Wii 3.01

Automatically translated from French.

2026 update: this topic dates from 2012 and the tools have changed since. The up-to-date method is in our tutorial ModMii in 2026: hack, update and repair your Wii (and forget Pimp My Wii and DOP-Mii).

Pimp My Wii by @Attila from Wii info is a homebrew that allows you to hack your Wii.
It will detect missing or outdated IOS and offer to install them.
As with any hacking tool, it is recommended to document yourself a bit before making any modifications to your console.
[tabs:3.01]- Addition of the use of IOS/Titles from Nand in addition to wad on sd/usb and from Nintendo's server.
So on Wii U, it is no longer mandatory to have the wad files.
However, you must have exactly the requested version and the nand file must be unmodified.
- Update of specific patches for Wii U by damysteryman (patch for errors 1017 and 1029). Thanks to him!
- Correction of IOS selection request and non-scan of IOS in the "Run test" menu.
- Correction of cMIOS installation.
- Correction of the source IOS list for cIOS d2x on Wii.
- Change of the d2x IOS v10/v10-alt signature to indicate beta52 or beta53-alt.
- On Wii U, when selecting an IOS, 249 is no longer chosen by default since cIOS d2x does not patch error -1017 on Wii U. IOS 36 (modified) will therefore be preferable.
[tabs:3.00] - Version compatible with Wii U in Wii mode and Wii.
- Addition of (initial) support for Wii U Wii mode. In this mode for now you can do a test, install or uninstall a wad, export information or install a cIOS (d2x v10) only.
- Update of cIOS d2x to v10 and v10 alt. The alt version is marked as v10.1.
- Modification of all tests, ios and channels to correspond to Wii U.
- Addition of an anti-brick Wii and Wii U, to prevent installing an IOS intended for one on the other. This protection is in place in the "wad" menu as well as during IOS installation in the other menus.
- On Wii U: IOS download is not possible. You must put the wad files on your SD card or USB key. You can create WAD files thanks to FSToolboxx and Showmiiwads-mod by Orwel. The created files must be named in the form IOSXY-64-v1337.wad.
- Addition of protection in "wad" mode which prevents installation of a stub on the slot used by the system menu, or the uninstallation of this ios.
- Correction of wad uninstallation without cIOS.
[tabs:2.32]- Correction of a possible crash when starting a test.
- Addition in the export of the number of the loaded IOS as well as whether AHBPROT is active or not.
- Addition of iOS 62 installation.
- Update of the Wii shop.
[tabs:2.31]- Compiled with libogc 1.8.11 and libfat 1.0.11.
- Update of d2x cIOS v9 beta to beta 49. It is available only in "Install cIOS" mode. Will not be installed in "Hack the Wii" or "Test and fix problems" modes.
Be careful, it's not marked anywhere that it's a beta, but it is. Upon release of the "final" version, you will need to force the installation of the new version since pimp makes no difference between a beta and final version.
- Pimp will detect as outdated Usb Loader GX that is not in version 3.0 (compared to 2.2 in previous versions).
- Addition of detection of Dios Mios/Dios Mios Lite in the export and during installation.
[tabs:2.30]- Removal of certain information (related to game saves) in TXT export, to reduce its size (CSV export remains complete).
- Correction of a bug that could change the number of Wiimotes in the middle of using Pimp.
- Compiled with devkitPPC 25-1 and libogc 1.8.10 (this enables support for new RVL-CNT-01-TR Wiimotes).
- Use of threads to try to overcome the blocking that some may have during IOS scans.
- Update of cIOS d2X to v8.
- Addition of cIOS d2x v9 (beta 47), available only in "Install cIOS" mode. Will not be installed in "Hack the Wii" or "Test and fix problems" modes.
Be careful, it's not marked anywhere that it's a beta, but it is. Upon release of the "final" version, you will need to force the installation of the new version since pimp makes no difference between a beta and final version.
- Addition of a small delay during an IOS Reload.
[tabs:2.29]- Update of d2x cIOS to v7. In "Install cIOS" mode, you can now install versions 6 and 7.
In "Test" mode, if you have v6, your cIOS will be considered outdated.
- Addition of the patch for support of Korean Wii in cIOS d2x.
- The txt and csv export now indicates the homebrews you have on your sd (folder /apps), as well as their versions (using meta.xml).
- The export also shows if you have priiloader/preloader installed.
- Correction in the export that could not display the keys.
[tabs:2.28]- Addition of a check that warns you if certain homebrews are not up to date. Pimp checks the versions of the following homebrews (folder names must match, and are not case sensitive):
-> Neogamma, in version R9 beta 50 minimum. Folder name: neogamma
-> Usb Loader gx, in version 2.2 minimum. Folder name: usbloader_gx
-> Uloader, in version 5.1 minimum. Folder name: uloader
-> Wiiflow, in version 2.2 (or r302) minimum. Folder name: wiiflow
-> Configurable usb loader, in version 70 minimum. Folder name: usbloader or usbloader_cfg
Pimp does not update these homebrews on its own. No verification will be made on the installed channels, only on the files present on the SD card in /apps/.

No chance :twisted:

I even hesitate afterwards (if a hack ever comes out) to crack it... The fact that it's so connected to the net, with Miiverse, etc... I like the thing! I got Mario for Christmas and honestly it's great! My son and I have a blast with it...

And knowing that my wii is already hacked, I find it pointless for now to hack the vWii...
