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.

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.

Mm, let me correct that for ya.. (please quote me correctly )

What i said exactly is that of the ppl that have problems, 99% fail to read the instructions correctly..but the ppl that actually have problems with modmii is less than 5%..and many ppl use it, multiple times.

I will shut up now.

Been following this one, and as an "expert noobie" I can tell you without rerservation or exception. even the most stubborn noobie couldn't possibly tank a ModMii install.
I was practically famous for getting stuck on things that seem simple to you, the pros who always help even the most "challenging" noobie problems about 9 mos ago. The reveal is I did have some unique problems as I was working with a HDD that I paid a "pro" (sarcasm intended) to give me HBC and a few channels. He had stuff password locked, a poorly mapped out SD card and never taught me how to use it. Couple that with I'm the rock god of overthinking everything, I'm unable to just follow directions, I have to understand how it works. I finally quit analyzing and tried ModMii and I can say from the noobie perspective, a trained Chimpanzee could mod a Wii with ModMii, heck, if the banana you feed the Chimp had arms, it could mod a Wii. ModMii is hands-down the most idiot-proof way to mod a Wii, I can't even fathom how anyone, even the classic overthinkers or stubborn follks who won't follow simple directions could fail if they tried to on purpose. You don't have to understand IOS's, how to organize an SD card, what a forwarder is, how to avoid bricking, nothing. I made every mistake possible trying to learn at every turn and ModMii allowed me to Mod a Wii without the existence of a brain stem. If they can't get through ModMii, they are beyond hope. Thanks for inventing a program for those of us who refuse to just follow directions >LOL

Ok, let me chime in to add some perspective here. This is about hacking Wiis kids. Hacking. At the end of their day, everyone has their own preference for how to hack. If you frequent this site with any regularity, you'll know that most of the staff here are most comfortable supporting Mauifrogs guide instead of ModMii. As a result, much of the conversation tends to get steered towards this guide. But at the end of the day: We don't need Wii holy wars. Lets end this debate and keep this as a thread for supporting people who use this tool.

Hi everyone, I know my name says "xflak40" but this is the real "XFlak". I've asked a mod to change my nick to XFlak to avoid confusion in the future.

I just wanted to let you all know that I've just subscribed to this thread, so I'll be notified of any new posts here via email and respond to any questions personally asap.

Hello everyone! I have the black family edition Wii that came bundled with New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the Galaxy CD that was gifted to me and my little sister for Christmas. I want to softmod it with Letterbomb, but I don't know if it is safe. I want to make sure everything is correct before I begin. Will it work %100 if I follow the steps correctly? I really don't want to rush because if it fails and I get a brick, my dad will kill me.
