What is ModMii?

ModMii, formerly known as NUS Auto-Downloader, is able to download all the files needed to modify ANY Wii (4.3U/E/J/K and Below); it can generate custom guides based on your Wii's specifications, and save the files to your SD Card in their appropriate locations for easy offline softmodding.

Literally run the program once, let it download,
and you have all the files you need on your SD card to modify your Wii

What can ModMii do?

It can download all the files necessary to Modify, Upgrade & Downgrade your Wii System Menu

Download individual IOS/cIOS files, cIOS & cMIOS installers, Official Wii Channels, System Menus, Multi Mod Manager, YAWMM, Dop-Mii, both versions of Bannerbomb, Hackmii Installer etc.

Install patched IOSs without an wifi connection on your Wii

This includes an easy to follow Custom guide to setting up a USB-Loader (including how to format/partition your external hard drive)

Install SNEEK, build SNEEK NAND dumps, and Batch Extract Wii Games for use with SNEEK+DI or UNEEK+DI

Customize Bootmii, Wad Manager and MMM start-up settings using ModMii
Configurators to create a custom config files

This is also capable of downloading 000000**.app files for Sneek and MyMenuify

Provides solutions for the upside-down homebrew channel and the HackMii installer No Vulnerable IOS problems

Advanced Custom Downloads Feature will allow you to easily patch and change the slot/version of IOSs/cIOSs (only use this feature if you know what you are doing!!)

How to Use ModMii

Download and use the ModMii Installer

Run the "ModMii.exe" (make sure your firewall or proxy is not blocking the program from accessing the internet)

Choose an activity from the list on the Main Menu to begin (see screenshot below for options). Note, a custom guide will only be generated when "ModMii Wizard (W)", "HackMii Solutions (H)" or "USB-Loader Setup (U)" are selected.

How to mod your Wii

Run ModMii, from the Main Menu enter "W" to start the ModMii Wizard

When asked if your Wii is a virgin, you can answer yes "Y" even if your Wii is not a virgin in order to re-hack your Wii and update all your Wii's softmods. You should only answer no "N" if you know specifically what softmods need updating or if you only want to change your system menu version.

Answer the questions ModMii asks about your Wii, it's very simple, so I won't even go into the details, but here's a video tutorial made by Pepxl based on v4.0.1. Later versions work much in the same way, so its still a great tutorial even if you are using a newer version.

Wait until the program is done working, verify that all the files downloaded successfully, then (if you didn't change the drive letter to your SD card) locate the newly created folder called "COPY_TO_SD". Copy everything inside this folder to the root of your SD card (merge folders if it asks).

Now just follow the generated guide.

Changelog

CHANGELOG
=============
v5.1.1 Changelog
5.1.1 Changelog
Fixed bug where emulated NAND ModMii's Modifier would crash if the option was disabled neek2o.
Bugfix: Forgot to include changelog joke in the last update.

5.1.0 Changelog
Added a Change Region Wizard complete with custom guides to the Main Menu.
Any Region Changer v1.1b Mod06 Offline So what added to Download Page 2nd
Added neek \ neek2o rev selector, users can now choose from a list of available versions hosted on google code. ModMii's neek now installion v0.7a use of the installer when installing versions of Sneek neek greater than 185th Older versions of neek and neek2o will continue to use v0.6c Sneek of the installer for now.
The Wizard guides for ModMii already modifed Wii's now always asks users
if they want to install active IOSS IOSS and patched System Menu.
This means that users wanting to update only one thing (eg. Shopping Channel)
can build custom guides that ONLY update that one thing.
Added drag and drop support for ModMii download queues. Just drag the download queue onto ModMii.exe (or a shortcut ModMii) and ModMii will load it and save a copy to temp \ download queues \.
Added drag and drop support for ModMii's emulated NAND modifier. Just drag the
folder containing your emulated NAND onto ModMii.exe (or a shortcut ModMii)
ModMii and wants your load and prompt you to emulated NAND Select which
modifications to make.
Added drag and drop support for ModMii's File Cleanup feature. Just drag your SD card (or Copy_to_SD folder) onto ModMii.exe (or a shortcut ModMii) and ModMii wants to load it and wait for confirmation before proceeding with the file cleanup.
Added disc-based exploits as an option when running ModMii via command line.
Some other minor changes were made to ModMii's command line usage. See ModMii's
command line help menu for more info (call "ModMii.exe help" from a cmd window).
Added a workaround for a bug in the command line version of Theme Mii when it is running portably. If "TMCL.exe" is running portably (ie. not saved to C: \) it produces different output. If ModMii deterministic mines TMCL.exe is saved portably it copies it to C: \ ModMii \ temp \ before using it. Note that this was not a dangerous bug because what ModMii correctly reporting the themes generated as invalid.
Fixed a bug where emulated NAND modifier ModMii's sometimes got lost (ie. running
in the wrong location) and what unable to locate certain files required.
The bug occurred only when new WADs were NOT being installed to the emulated NAND.
Other minor changes.

I successfully followed the modmii instructions and everything on my wii is working perfectly. But it is not recognizing my external hard drive where I store my games. I formated it using the WBFS manager and successfully imported them to the hard drive via WBFS as well, but after plugging it in the right USB port on the back and selecting the USB loader from the wii menu, it already states "plugin USB device" at the top and even after selecting to continue, it eventually reverts back to the Wii Menu. Any Ideas? I've had it modded a long time ago and use the usb configurable loader and it always worked back then. Might the port be bad now?

ModMii v6.0.2 released

Updated syscheck to v2.1.0.b17 and removed the beta syscheck download as the latest version should work for everyone. Some minor changes were made to ModMii's sysCheck Updater feature to better analyze the latest syscheck logs.
Updated all DarkWii System Menu Themes (CSMs and System Menu WADs) to v2 (updated iplsettings to 4.3, thanks diddy81!). The only noticable change is that 4.3E Emulated NANDs with themes installed for their first boot will now also be able to accept the EULA to use the Shopping channel and WiiConnect24 (other system menu version's never experienced the problem with v1 themes).
Updated the HackMii Installer video included in ModMii's custom guides. Thanks DeadlyFoez!

I had the same issue, I resolved it by running madmii again (my external was empty, I recommend you move your games off before doing this...), choosing the option for usb-loader Setup (type U), when it asks formats I chose the one I wanted (1), then on the next screen I chose 1 as it recommended for Configurabe USB loader, then I chose USB on the next question, then this is the screen I believe some people are having issue and that I screwed up the first time. I had typed W: (the letter of my external hard drive), but it wants you to use W:\ (change to whatever letter your drive is) - you can confirm this my opening my computer/computer and dragging the drive itself into the blue window, it will show you the letter and allow you to press enter to confirm...

Hopefully that was your issue!

So I can't edit my post, but the first line should have been: "I had the same issue, I resolved it by running MODMII again" (not madmii) - lol, oops.

Please use the Edit function.

ModMii v6.0.4 released

Updated md5 hash and sysCheck Updater recognition for v1.0 of the HackMii Installer. A big thanks goes out to Team Twiizers for this unexpected update.
settings.exe was updated to v1.1 by obcd (v1.0 by cwstjdenobs). setting.txt's built for an Emulated NAND of one region but based on a different region's serial number will now also be able to establish a wifi connection.
Added an option to change the setting.txt to ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier. This will allow you to modify an Emulated NAND to be able to establish a wifi connection when running on a different real Wii.
Fixed bug that only occurred when running ModMii Skin on Windows XP and it would not wait for ModMii Classic to finish running before reporting the Download Log. Thanks to person66 for his revisions to ModMii's Launcher (aka shortcut-er).
Fixed bug where drag and drop support did not work when items were dragged into ModMii.bat and ModMiiSkin.bat. This bug did not apply when items were dragged onto ModMii.exe and ModMiiSkin.exe.
Other Minor Changes.

ModMii v5.0.6 released

Changelog

d2x v8-final is now bundled with ModMii instead of v7-final.

Updated ModMii Skin Launcher (by person66). It now includes a 10ms sleep in order to maintain 0 CPU usage even on older computers. This issue was not present for most users, but person66 personally experienced the old ModMiiSkin.exe process using 20%-40% of his CPU.

Updated ModMii's Syscheck Updater to consider homebrew channel installations of v1.0.0 (in addition to v1.1.0) as up to date when running off of IOS58. This change is to compensate for the latest version of syscheck which incorrectly labels HBC v1.1.0 and v1.0.0.

Now when updating ModMii using ModMii Skin the ModMiiSkin process is killed in order to permit updates to ModMiiSkin.exe itself (if applicable).

Fixed bug where ModMii Skin would not operate properly if the drive settings ended with a forward slash or back slash.

Fixed bug where the back button on the SD Card Drive selection page sometimes crashed ModMii Skin.

Other Minor Changes.

You should probably go with a guide that is more noob friendly and also provides a TON of brick protection.... Follow the Softmod ANY Wii guide. That will get you up and running.

ModMii v6.0.7 released

ModMii now uses TMDedit by person66 to patch TMDs for future d2x beta cIOSs. This will allow davebaol to add or remove modules in future cIOSs without requiring further changes made to ModMii in order to support it.
Updated Casper to v0.3, thanks giantpune!
Updated name of WiiFlow to WiiFlow-Mod
ModMii no longer needlessly downloads 00000001.app from IOS60 when using the latest sneek installer v0.7a. This version of the sneek installer is used when building neek2o rev70+ or neek rev186+.
Added check to Casper2Bootmii for the temp\DownloadQueues folder and creates it if it's missing. This will fix errors that some may have encountered if that folder was missing.
Fixed error when saving an advanced cIOS to a download queue when its slot was not changed.
Other minor changes.

What is more NOOB friendlier than ModMii, you get taken by the hand, and modmii even provides a live generated guide, which is ALLWAYS up to date.

Did you see the problems the user was having that I was responding to? He obviously wasn't getting it, so I sent him to a place where everything was spelled out in a different way. With someone that noobish, I didn't think it was the best idea to give him mymenuify, an app where if you don't know what you are doing you can brick your Wii. In case you didn't notice, that was the first thing the guy tried to mess with, albeit unsuccessfully....fortunately.... Maybe not everyone agrees, but I think part of my responsibility here is to sometimes save a user from himself if I see brick potential, or at least warn them if nothing else. Nothing against ModMii. If you are even somewhat computer literate it can be a great prog to use. Plenty of customization options to mess with. In the above case, I felt something else would be better for that user in particular.

-end rant lol

Etheboss - 04-09-2012, 05:55 PM
Lol, ok agreed.
Modmii has a lot of options you can fiddle with, and maybe sometimes you can better shove a piece of paper under someones nose, instead of letting him go trough a Q&A menu.

Only thing i wanted to say is in my experience with people that run into problems with modmii is that 99% have failed to read the instructions correctly, and i am now only talking about the modmii wizard to softmod the wii, if they had followed it, they would not have encountered any problems.. if i look at Lazaros Xlx last post, it seems he didn't read the auto generated guide that should have popped up on his screen, that guide would have told him EXACTLY what to do to get everything correctly installed..

BTW. the modmii guide would never tell you to use mymenuify if you use the softmod wizard, this looks like the result of a manual selection.
