Letterbomb... that gives me good old memories, a few years ago, for a Wii I gave to one of my friends, I used the Wiiconnect 24 DNS method instead, but the result overall was the same, a great console ready to play a lot of games from it's actual console and GCN... and also a lot of retro stuff like Sega Genesis, NES, Neo Geo just to name some (while I have the consoles I mentioned... sans the Neo Geo, is convenient to have ready a way to play the games without making a hassle of hooking up the consoles in a hurry).
@@Goober13231. online method is a little harder if you have a modern modem as the Wii can only do the standard at the time (2.4ghz most modern routers do 5ghz and can reconsider the wii because of security settings) and can be fiddly 2. If you have an old Wii can can’t find the letterbomb make sure your *clock battery* hasn’t died or you will not be able to find it
I have 2 questions? 1: can you use a usb drive instead of a memory card? 2: do you have to be connected to the Internet? Thank you and have a great day!
Hi! Thanks for the video! From the looks of it, the first method for install (not the modmii) seems quicker..? Both end up with the same result? You probably answered that but my ADD brain may have missed it lol
Wii backupmanager does not work on my mac and i cannot find a good alternate. I put all my wbsf games in a folder and they "show up" in usb gx but i never see any games
Your link for the SD card format might be messed up, it didn't work for me (maybe it's the site). But is it only included for mac OS since windows/linux can already format cards?
couple ideas for troubleshooting this : ensure that your date is set correctly on your wii double check that you have the "copy to SD" folder saved to the root of your SD, not stacked in anywhere else double check that your info is correct in the modmii wizard or wherever you got your folder from, including accurate version and region otherwise just try resetting your wii and see if it works, ESPECIALLY after removing and reinserting the SD into the console hopefully one of these helped!
6:08 when I click on the envelope nothing happens. It just takes me back to the Wii menue :( Someone help pleaseeee 6:08 Edit: found the problem. The SD adapter had the lock switch on all I had to do was turn the switch off
i used 4.3E and have the same problem, could it be that i dont have the right update? i havent touched the wii in using since early 2014 @@jamalgreen7232
instead of using letterbox to install homebrew there's a video on youtube to install homebrew without sd and if you do that way then you can then put stuff on sd to be played on wii off sd card via homebrew
I bought a used wii with homebrew and usb app on it already but no SD card will I run into problems if I start over following these instructions od this video
yes you can, but it's typically considered less reliable. if you use the ModMii wizard, you can choose to make a "save to USB" folder instead to copy over to a USB stick instead. just note that not all mods/hacks you may want will be compatible with this method. do research on what mods you want, and double check that they're able to be downloaded correctly with the USB methods
I've had a raspberry pi for 5 or so years that I don't use. Then, all of a sudden, I want and buy a ton of retro games and systems 😢. I've even had a modded xbox 100 years ago. I could of just got a wii and modded it but now I own a wii sega gamecube GB pocket and about 200 games wtf was I thinking. It is fun playing pokemon yellow on an actual gameboy tho.
I used the first method and i found out the wii remote with the wii motion plus on the inside doesnt work when it comes to the press one page. I had to order basic sryle wii remotes as I didnt have the base model console, I have one of the blue Wiis )which iIater found out was also a limited edition console! ).

get SanDisk Ultra 128GB Class 10 - microSDXC Memory Card - SDSQUA4 and with that sd card you can play wii and gamecube games off it but there's very few wii games that won't work with sd card but usb or harddrive but many will and if you do get it make sure you use GUIFORMAT to format it to fat32 before you play wii and gamecube games off from it or only gamecube games will work
Surely you should install bootmii and/or priidownloader before doing anything else so you can restore if you mess something up? This is too quick and missing detail yet you refer to people possibly being new to the wii? 🤷🤦
My homebrewed Wii all the sudden decided to stop working today. I pushed the power button and it turned green, but that was it. No display or audio came through, the disc drive didn’t even try to read the disc and never turned on, and the Wiimote can’t even connect. I have priiloader installed, but I can’t even load THAT even with the power button/reset button method. It was working perfectly last night. The only thing I installed yesterday was CTGP, which had been sitting on my SD card for quite a while. There was an hour worth of updates that had to install, but I’ve never had trouble with CTGP at all on my other Wii. I’ve tried switching different cords/TVs/Power Cords, nothing is helping. Any help would be appreciated. Hoping this isn’t a permanent brick and can be fixed somehow.
Oh this is just the homebrew channel, yeah that's nothing. It doesn't do anything by itself mind you, the actual thing that takes effort is after this.
MY MICROSD IS 128GB STORAGE. obviosly i cant format to FAT32. is it ok if i leave it as EXFAT format? Edit: So turns out i was wrong and you can in fact format any sd card. Using the software in the description of the video was so smooth and easy. My antivirus did blocked the downloads and the running of the program so I did risked it by turning my antivirus off but it all seems clean so far.

Can you do it with a usb drive instead of a sd card?
Except for nand dumping
why has he not followed up ?

you need to put the right version of your wii in the letter bomb website

Hi so when I got to the red envelope my Wii froze. Do you know where I might have gone wrong?
I just got one def gonna do this

Good thing you bought a Mac then.
I did all the steps put the private and .elf file and put the SD card into the Wii but I get no envelop
Same here I think bro trolled us with this option 😂😂
When i homebrew it how do i inject games?
Does method 1 still work
yes
Yes i litterally did it last night as my wii wouldnt connect to my wifi
Can i do this with a usb drive instead of sd
Me glad that I have two Wii’s
Your link for the SD card format might be messed up, it didn't work for me (maybe it's the site). But is it only included for mac OS since windows/linux can already format cards?
What comes next after completing these steps?
So if I mod it with "ModMii", I can install any Wii game and play it thru SD card? Is it just like the 3DS?
Holy shit now I have a reason to dust that thing off !!!
Dangerous Download Blocked? Any suggestions?
The envelope for the second method wont pop up
me too. did you find fix?
couple ideas for troubleshooting this :
ensure that your date is set correctly on your wii
double check that you have the "copy to SD" folder saved to the root of your SD, not stacked in anywhere else

otherwise just try resetting your wii and see if it works, ESPECIALLY after removing and reinserting the SD into the console
