You can store them on the same usb your wii files are on.
#JAILBREAK WII WITH USB 480P#
It's just a file you put on your sd card and load up through the homebrew channel like usbloadergx, but you can play gamecube games off the usb in 480p and widescreen, even if the original game didn't support it. There's also Nintendont which is well worth looking into. I went down that rabbit hole and it was incredibly hard to wade through the misinformation and crappy out of date guides and eventually get it working, to find that usbloadergx works just as well and so much easier. You might come across some people talking about neek.
#JAILBREAK WII WITH USB INSTALL#
To play wii games using usbloadergx you only need to do the first step which is to install the specified cios to slot 249. There's tonnes of bullshit about forwarders, channels, stubs, preloaders, postloaders and god knows what else but the long and short of it is you just need the homebrew channel to launch usbloadergx off your sd card, and the cios installed to support that.įor example even on wii.guide, which is mostly pretty good, it says in the cios guide to install cios in slots 249,250,and 251. For some reason the wii hacking scene is awash with poor quality info, compared to other scenes. Quite a lot of recent stuff on Reddit as well turned out to be rubbish, really poor quality advice. GbaTemp especially is a quagmire of misinformation, like a playground discussion. I found the whole process to be a mess with regards to documentation and guides, and found a lot of info to be massively overcomplicated. Like I said I went through this just a few weeks ago after getting a new wii, a late model as it happens. The steps I wrote up are the ones you need to look into in a bit more detail to play some wii games off usb. So you don't need to worry about having an early wii with boot2 support. The thing is, you don't need to do those crazy hacks any more, so bootmii as boot2 isnt really that big a deal unless you're determined to be a doofus. Its basically an early startup that makes your wii brick proof if you took a nand backup.
#JAILBREAK WII WITH USB UPDATE#
I am playing all my GC and Wii games from External HDD, before you hack it you should maybe update your console with the absolutely latest firmware (apparently there are multiple revisions of the last 4.3 firmware and the one you can download online is not the most up to date revision, you can see that if you insert the disc for the very last few games released on Wii like Rodea: The Sky Soldier) only use an SD Card to boot the loaders because running games from the SD Card slot is not good, put all your games inside the External Hardrive, overall it is a lot of work, but when you are finally set you can play all the games from the External Hardrives, plus you will get access to fan-translated games like Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Captain Rainbow, Earth Seeker, Night of the Sacrifice etc.īootmii as boot2 was a big deal in the early days when people were bricking their consoles left right and center doing any crappy ios hack they came across. Is there no way to just dump a bunch of Wii & GC ISOs on a FAT-formatted storage medium and just launch them? needed?Ģ.) I don't need a unit with a working DVD-drive? The jailbreak and playing Wii & GC games from USB/SD will work fine?ģ.) When I looked into playing games from USB/SD storage, it always seemed like I needed some weird Windows-only piece of software. At least it was for PS2, OGXB etc.Ĭan somebody in the know please clarify this for me? Thanksġ.) Every Wii RVL-001 is exploitable with just, correct? No special system firmware, game, hardware revision etc. Oh and I know, all of this is probably dead simple and could be explained in like three paragraphs of text. There they list and explain every single jailbreak method, but of course, the easiest and most widely compatible one, the only one that should probably even be on this page, is mentioned dead last If I could find these answers with a few minutes of googling, I wouldn't have asked here.Īnd 'tons of great tutorials'? The most legit looking page I could immediately find was this: I still have no idea what exactly happens if I have a post 2008 Wii and what it means that 'bootmii' runs 'with reduced functionality' if I install it as a 'IOS' replacement, and if that matters at all. Tons of outdated info, projects changing names/owners, guides directly contradicting each other, dead links everywhere. I don't know why, but anything related to 'softmodding' consoles is always the most incomprehensible, scatterbrained, jargon filled mess in existence. I spend a few hours reading up on it and haven't found answer to basic questions. I modded a few wii's at the beginning of this year and found that you can pretty much find everything you need to know if you spend a few minutes googling. I don't really get what you're saying to be honest.
