Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 [Guide]

Do not UPDATE your Wii.
Update = SoftMod Gone

YOU CAN GET THIS GAME RUNNING BY USING A cIOS WITH A BASE ios of 57

Note - If you have used Mauifrog's guide to modify your lovely Wii then you should have already installed the correct configuration to run the game.

Select in your USB Loader - cIOS 250 (57)
Or - Hermes cIOS 224 (57)

If you are not Soft Modded and would like to be then use Mauifrog's "Mod Any Wii Guide" Look --> Here.

If you are unsure if you have the correct cIOS then run a syscheck using this guide and check. (Thanks to Shift_Lock)

So this is what you are looking for in your syscheck

Thanks for the info and the help. Much appreciated. I looked and I have no update file in the system memory. I will try re-installing the game.

Weird question, but is it true that MW3 can ruin Wii DVD Drives and if so, I got my Red Mario Wii on Dec of 2010 and I was wondering if that's considered good enough for my Wii to last a long while with MW3's constant streaming from the disc?

The Wii doesn't have enough RAM to load an entire map into the RAM. So the game is constantly loading from the disc instead. This is also why some larger maps get shrunk on the Wii. Your Wii should be able to handle playing the game, though. It wouldn't hurt to consider hacking it and using a USB loader to play games from a USB hard drive. This will certainly extend the life of your drive.

EVERY disc wears on the laser.. USB loading is faster and saves the laser from any damage.

I'm softmodded already, but I don't have a hard drive at the moment to put MW3 into yet

I would definitely recommend it ASAP! Get a cheaper 320 GB or 250GB. You don't need much hard drive space to store 100 games. I have a 500GB and only like 50 games. It makes things easier. No more going through a drawer full of games. Open the loader, load the game, and enjoy.

I just transferred my .iso to my HDD but when I launch the game using USB loader GX, it goes back to the main screen (the one with disc channel, homebrew channel, etc.). I switched the cios from 249 to 250, but still just returns to the main menu after I click on the blue spinning DVD image on the USB loader GX. One thing I'm not sure is how to change the base to 57. Anything else I might have missed? By the way, this is the first game that I'm trying to load, so anything is possible.
PS - I'm using a 1GB memory stick

Well, first off this game is a lot bigger than 1GB. You will need a USB drive more than 4 times that size. You definitely did not rip it correctly... ... ..

Didn't make sense to me either. The .iso file is 4.38 GB but I followed the FAT 32 guide & for some reason, it fit on the memory stick.

Your rip file should be exactly 4.37 GB. Why not just put the retail disc in the optical drive and install using USBLoader GX?

I wanted to practice creating an .iso file on my computer, but I can try doing that. Back to my original question...how do I change the base to 57? I already switched the cios from 249 to 250.

Go here to get the d2x cIOS pack. It gives a great step-by-step! Your cIOS will be updated and installed with the proper base.

How do I find out what base it is currently set to?

Run the latest version of syscheck (guide in my sig). It will show you what bases you have installed to each slot. Example: 249[56] - 249 has a base of 56.

Since I just softmodded my wii yesterday using the "softmod any wii" guide, is it safe to assume that cios 250 already has a base of 57? Also, do I need the d2x cios installation, or is it already installed?

If you just followed the ANY Wii guide yesterday then yes your cIOS are already up to date and you have a base 57 in 250. I think it is safe to say that your issues go back to trying to use a 1GB drive for a 4GB file. It doesn't matter if it says it is there or not, it is just plain NOT going to work.

Hi wiihacks,

I updated shopping channel and installed MF3 update. Now my wii is not turning off - the light goes yellow/amber on the wii when I turn it off from the remote of push the button on wii itself. It used to go red. Now I have to unplug it for the light to go red.
What's wrong?

Read your Wii manual. It's supposed to do that. If you turn on Wii Connect 24, the light stays orange to let you know that messages are still receivable while the console is off.

This is correct - and to turn your wii off without unplugging it, just hold down the power button for a few seconds (not the remote button).

Alternatively, you can turn WiiConnect24 off so that there is no orange light. This can be done by going through the wii's settings.

Thanks guys. I find wii manual is really poorly written. Always easier to ask someone who knows the answer :-)
