- Wii Options > Wii Settings
- Verify version is 4.3

- Is the Wii connected to the internet
- If not, go to Connection Settings

- A few pages over is Auto-Obtain DNS
- Select No and Advanced Settings
- Enter Primary DNS: 97.74.103.14
- Enter Secondary DNS: 173.201.71.14
- Confirm and Save Settings
- Press Ok to perform Connection Test
- This does take a while, be patient because the Wii is slow
- Go back a couple of pages to Internet Settings
- Go to User Agreements
- Would you like to use the Wii Shop Channel and WiiConnect24?
- Select Yes
- You must review the User Agreements before using the Wii network services.
- Select Next
- Connecting to Internet... Please wait a moment.
- Another screen will appear with message to "Please wait, this will take 1-2 minutes."
- Do NOT press I Accept at this point, or it will go to the previous screen.
- These next two screens will show up, one with console text, which is the exploit, and the next look like static. This is ok
- The next screen is a message not to be scammed by buying a copy of HackMii. Wait for the option to press '1' to continue.
- The HackMii menu will now appear, press 'A' to continue.
- On the HackMii installer screen, use the D-pad on the Wii to arrow up to Install The HomeBrew Channel.
- At this point the Wii can be powered off.
- Install Wii Homebrew Browser https://oscwii.org/
- I have read that a 2gb non-hd sd card was needed, but found that up to a 32gb card works just fine.
- Remove the sd card and download and extract the zip file on the main page.
- Move the folder on the root of the sd card (i.e.
apps/homebrew_browser/). - More applications can now be accessed from the Homebrew Browser.
- Adding roms (i.e. Nintendo 64 games)
- From the Homebrew Browser, add the not64 emulator, as the Wii64 would not save games for me. This is an updated version of the Wii64 emulator.
- At the root of the sd card, if it is not already there, create a not64/roms folder and place the roms in here.
- Play Wii games from a USB drive
- First need to install cIOS (custom OS)
- Will be installing:
- cIOS 249 base 56 v10 beta52, some guides say cIOS 249 base 56 beta52-alt, YMMV.
- cIOS 250 base 57 v10 beta52
- Will be installing:
- From the Homebrew Browser, go to the Utilities tab and install USBLoader and the d2x cIOS installer.
- Wait for the app to load.
- You will see the main screen, press A
- Change the following:
- cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52-alt
- base to 56
- slot to 249
- revision to 65535
- Press A to load these values
- Change the following:
- The app will go back to the main screen, just go right back into the app.
- Change the following:
- cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52
- base to 57
- slot to 250
- revision to 65535
- Press A to load these values
- Change the following:
- You are now ready to format the external USB drive
- This can be either FAT32 or ext4
- Plug in the USB drive afterwards and load the USBloader
- It only works in one USB slot, so if this is not recognized the first time, move the plug to the other slot.
- Now you can save games from Wii disks, or load roms from the same drive
- Roms are placed at the root of the USB drive with the format of
/roms/
- First need to install cIOS (custom OS)
- That's all.
