Hi all,
I’m new in the Wii modding. I’m reading a lot in the forums and great
tutorials from this site and the puzzel start to get together but I still have questions. At the end it became a long message but I give a try
I bought a used and already softmoded Wii. It was softmode with the
instruction from an other site but the installer file on the SD card says HackMii v0.6. I can play backuped dvd games and all seems to work ok. I noticed that some of the newer games give me 002 error’s.
At the end of this mail you can find the version detail. (I'm a noob so got all I found.)
What I did so far:
I installed the bootmii/boot2 and did a NAND backup, (my Wii is an older serial nr version lucky me

)
I tried to run USB Loader GX. Think I installed it right. But ones starting the loader from the home Brew I get a : no USB device xx sec error
I could be that my hard disk is not compatible but first I wanna be sure I'm up to date with the software..
My questions.
1. Because I didn’t do the softmode myself I'm not sure if I'm up to date.
2.cIOS versions… How can I check what Cios versions are installed? can I just update de niet rev versions??
3. Because of the update block option I’m interested in the Preloader
mod. Reading the Hackmii instructions this looks a bit more complicated.
I’m not sure If my soft moded Wii got all the correct cios etc…how to
check if I got a correct IOS60 like the “IOS60-patched.wad” ( this cIOS
version proces still confuses me abit.)
Re-reading the guide and checking the forum, It looks like my Wii should
be on FW4.1 for the Preloader ? I’m at 4.0e. I rather do not update
(yet) because I’m not sure it’s ok to use this tutorial with the
softmode it got now. Should I pass for the Preloader?
4 . I would like to run the games from my USB Hardisk and I hope to get
by the 002 error for some games. ( USB loader GX seems to fix this )
I installed the USB Loader GX on de sd card and formatted a Harddisk as instructed but cannot find the Disk. (on USB device message) I know this could be a disk portability issue, but my question, can it be that I miss a Cios version?
So what do you think about my Wii status when you look at the info below..
