Game controllers for NES/SNES/Sega Genisis Emulators (no replies)

HellzBellz — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 19:08:19 +0200

Hi all,

I have modded my wii and installed a few emulators. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on which controllers to use.

I have used the wii stick perfectly with NES games but is there any consensus on which to use with SNES and Genisis emulators?

I would prefer not to spend too much and would prefer them to be wireless.

I have an xbox 360 controller but I imagine this wont be compatible.

Thanks

Hackmii Installer Stuck At Scam Warning Screen! Need help! (no replies)

lammap98 — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 11:28:13 +0200

I'm quite new to Wii mods and all those stuff. Just the day before, I was notified of an update on the HBC (to v1.1.0), and as soon as the download finished, my Wii restarted to HackMii screen and got stuck ever since, no "press 1 to continue" showed up at that point. I tried to boot to BootMii, but it showed nothing at all. All I saw was my Wii's disk slot flashing blue. Here's what happened:

AnyRegion Changer help! (2 replies)

Bakkus — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 19:29:30 +0100

So I got an NTSC Wii because of reasons like 60 hz VC games and Project M. And an NTSC Wii doesn't support SCART RGB cable picture meaning you're stuck with composite (or composhit as it's often more accurately called). So with help from AnyRegion Changer I changed the video output to PAL. And while this enables solid RGB picture. It comes at a brutal cost. Which is that every single Virtual Console game goes 50hz and other Wii games stutter and can't keep a still image.

So I need help. Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?

Custom Music hack/program for Wii Music? (1 reply)

AlphaHedge — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 23:59:06 +0100

I've been using the Homebrew Channel for a while now, and I love the codes it has. I was just wondering, is there any sort of program, hack, or cheat in general that will let me put my own tunes into the game? Like putting notes on sheet music, a piano roll, or any sort of note implementing. (For example: I'd put most of the notes to Megalovania on there, and then another song will pop up in the menu saying "Megalovania", or something)

ACCF File Cannot Install (no replies)

jidoeagle — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 03:04:26 +0100

Please help, people!

I extracted my Animal Crossing City Folk file using SaveGame Manager GX, put it on an SD card and edited it with AC Toolkit. I then deleted the original file on my Wii. I tried to install the file I had edited, but neither Gecko or save-installer would work. The file seems to only be 4 memory blocks instead of 36. Did I make a tragic error? I still have the original file I extracted and it does not work either.?

homebrew channel is black (no replies)

mrmpdale — Sat, 14 Nov 2015 18:57:58 +0100

My homebrew channel was working fine. It is now black. I also can't go into my snes emulator, nor my nes emulator. I get the same black screen. My CFX loader still works fine, as well as my sega emulator, and my n64 emulator. I am unsure what I did. I think I messed something up while trying to get cfx to work. Now CFX does work but I think I messed something up with my tweaking.

I am new to all of this and only reason I got this far was following step by step guides. I have 4.3 and a black wii. I used the letter bomb to get homebrew channel installed.

I have already tried deleting homebrew and reinstalling but still does work. I figure I messed something up on the internal settings of the wii because why else would it effect my other emulators too.

However, all that internal stuff is hard for me to understand without step by step instructions.

Wiimote motion unreactive. (2 replies)

Sas13 — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:46:37 +0100

So I recently installed Homebrew and it worked fine, but after a couple weeks I realized that on the Wii homepage I couldn't move the cursor via the remote (or use it anywhere else for that matter). I am able to move it around using my classic controller so that's fine but for games where the Wii remote is necessary, I am unable to play them at normal functionality. I should mention that it is only the motion that doesnt work, all buttons work on the remote.

Things I have already tried:
- Resyncing the remote
- Using a different remote
- Using two remotes simultaneously
- Recalibrating the remote (didn't see the white dots)
- Using new batteries

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hello to everyone who is reading this.

I have been trying to install homebrew on my wii and I got pretty far with it, but when I try to start up the homebrew browser to look for apps it keeps saying:

and it keeps going like that without stopping...

Can anyone help me with this problem? That will really help me.

HBB/CodeMii Respository on PC (2 replies)

Vidus — Thu, 08 Oct 2015 16:25:23 +0200

Is there any way or site that you can view all the homebrew application from the Homebrew Browser (HBB) or CodeMii.com? The HBB is great but sadly the long program lists make navigating cumbersome.

I'm putting this question here since this is more "where can I easily see every homebrew application easily?" rather than "how do I work HBB?" Please move this to HB Applications if nessisary. Thanks.

I haven't installed bootmii, have I made a mistake? (4 replies)

n4tty — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 16:14:41 +0200

So I installed the HBC last using letterbomb and I skipped the bootmii. I was playing around with emulators and stuff last night and a couple of times it crashed and left me a little worried in case I brick the machine

My questions are, do I need bootmii?
Can I install bootmii WITHOUT having to reinstalling HBC?
How the hell do you back up stuff with it?

Sorry if I sound stupid, I've looked around the web but I'm still confused?

Priiloader / Bootmii in terms of Risk (no replies)

whgang99 — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 07:00:25 +0200

Hello. I am a Korean Wii user and I want to unlock my Wii's region due to not many games are released in Korea.
I have got homebrew channel installed long time ago (by my father. so I don't know much about hacking wii) and now I want to install Priiloader for region free gameplay (I searched the internet and it sounded like Priiloader can unlock regional restrictions), but I'm worried of bricking my Wii while attempting to install Priiloader.('Priiloader bricked my Wii' is in the Google suggestion...)

My father forgot all about Wii, and I have to het information about what state my Wii is in right now by the internet.

Question 1. If the bootmii doesn't show up as I power the console and I can launch it from homebrew channel, it means it is installed as an IOS, right?

Question 2. If my Wii is newer model and doesn't have a boot2 exploit, can I still backup and restore my wii with bootmii IOS when it is bricked while installing Priiloader?

Question 3. Can it be considered dangerous to install Priiloader on my Wii after backup and preparing for restore?

Question 4. Can I play other region Wii&GC discs and install other region channels on my Wii with Priiloader? (If there is safer way than Priiloader to install channels, please tell me.)

Sorry for my bad English... I'm Korean

*I edited my question because I was misunderstanding about what bootmii is.

How do I setup my GC controller on my Wii U homebrew emulating? (5 replies)

marcodt — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 02:47:00 +0200

So I just purchased a wii u the other day and put homebrew on it. I was playing gba roms with the wii remote and thought I would be able to use a gamecube controller with the adapter to play n64, gba, ds roms etc. When I load into the emulators, the wii u gamecube controller adapter is not being detected or something and I can't use the controller. Is this possible at all?

Problems with Homebrew Channel and Wii itself (3 replies)

kamild1996 — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 11:44:23 +0200

Hello,
I'm having some weird problems with Homebrew Channel (further on referred as simply HC).
1. When I start HC with my SD card and USB drive plugged in, it doesn't show any applications on the list. They reappear as soon as I disconnect my USB drive, then I can plug it in again and everything works. All the HC apps are located on my SD card. The problem doesn't appear when starting HC without connecting the drive but replugging it each and every time has gotten quite annoying after some time.
2. Occasionally (like 10% chance) when launching something (a game from optical drive, any channel, an app from HC or even HC itself), the console will simply freeze on a black screen. I'm certainly sure that half a year ago I had no such problems and I'm having a bad feeling that my console might "die" some day.

Wii menu version 4.1 or 4.3? (no replies)

MW99 — Mon, 11 May 2015 00:53:03 +0200

I installed the HB channel a few years ago on my Wii, as well as BootMii and Priiloader. If I remember correctly, it was on 4.3 but I downgraded it to 4.1 in order to be able to play certain WADS. I haven't messed with it in over a year and just decided to set it back up today.

Is there any reason at all to upgrade to 4.3? Are there any other updates I need to do?
Thanks!

Trouble with Channel Installer (no replies)

IronicUsername — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:59:58 +0100

I've been attempting to use the Channel Installer to put WiiMC on my Menu screen but have been getting an error message. The installer initializes, the tells me that it is unable to obtain NAND access and cannot continue. Originally, I had moved the NAND file to my PC for backup purposes. After this message I moved it back to the root of my SD card, but I'm still recieving the error message. Is there something simple I'm missing, like an incorrect location for the NAND file? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you!

labib — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 23:49:02 +0100

Since nintendo shutdown most of the wii online services like the mii contest channel, nintendo wfc online for games, etc. I was wondering if homebrew developers would make custom servers for the mii contest channel and/or make a new channel like mii social wii where we get to meet other miis from our area, from around the world, etc. There are already custom wfc servers like wiimmfi so what about a new channel?

My wii is NOT bricked, but i want to know if there is a possible way to restore its original screen. Does anyone know?

Question about "virginizing" Wii (4 replies)

Vlaqorvik — Sat, 14 Feb 2015 04:37:49 +0100

Hi everybody, thanks so much in advance for your time,

This might be a bit of a long-winded question, but I just want to explain in as much detail as I possibly can about what I did and to see if I went about the best way of doing it.

A few years ago I had softmodded my 4.3U Wii so I could inject a few VC games through WAD Manager. I did this because I had just bought a new Wii, as my old one had passed on and I lost quite a few virtual console games that I had accumulated on it over the years. If I recall correctly, I had originally just installed the HBC and BootMii via Letterbomb (since I believe it was the only way to do it on System Menu 4.3U), and then installed the WAD Manager and a few VC WADs on to my system.

Fast forward to a few days ago. I recently decided I wanted to make my Wii as "factory new" as possible - I don't plan on selling it or sending it to Nintendo or anything, I just did this to lift a weight off my own conscience. I had originally thought this would be a fairly simple task, but I ended up spending the next day or so painstakingly relearning what I knew about Wii Homebrew and finding the best method I could to "virginize" my system.

Sooo... I started out by deleting all unofficial channels (except the HBC itself). All of them were just virtual console games I had injected with the WAD Manager. In hindsight, I probably should have used AnyTitle Deleter to do this job to completely remove any traces, but I'm hoping I solved that problem later (I'll explain below). After that came actually trying to get rid of as much Homebrew as possible.

I started out by uninstalling BootMii through launching the Hackmii Installer with Letterbomb. After that came deleting all the unoffical IOSes and whatnot, which I was not exactly sure of how to go about. I had read that updating your Wii to system menu 4.3 deleted all unofficial IOSes, so I figured this was my best bet without using a NAND formatter. Problem was, I was already on version 4.3, so there was no way I could update. To work around this, I installed DOPMii and followed a YouTube guide to downgrade my system to 4.1. After this was complete, I decided it was safe to bid farewell to the Homebrew Channel, and deleted it and it's contents via the data management on the Wii Menu. Finally, I (hopefully) removed all unofficial mods by updating the 4.1 system menu I had downgraded to with ModMii by installing the official Nintendo update and upgrading to 4.3.

After all that, I was pretty sure I had done all I could. I did run across one problem, as to celebrate completing this endeavor I decided to legitmately buy a game from the Wii Shop Channel that I had previously injected into the system with WAD Manager. Of course, when I tried to download the game, I got Error Code: 204036. I did a quick search on it and found it had to do with me previously installing the game I was now trying to buy and download with the WAD manager. Apparently deleting it through the Wii data management had still left traces of the "unofficial" game I had injected via the WAD Manager. I found out that formatting fixed the issue, so I did that, and I was able to download the game (after getting error code 204038, but that only indicated a connection problem apparently, which was relieving).

Anyway, here I am now, after going through the long journey to hopefully make my Wii as clean/virgin-like as possible. So all in all, I just wanted to maybe ask a few experts (since I am honestly a newbie at Wii modding, which is why I'm glad I'm done with it) if these methods I went through would have successfully cleaned my Wii. Would downgrading from 4.3 to 4.1 back to 4.3 again to have Nintendo's official patch delete any remnants of mods have worked? Did formatting the system remove ALL traces of past unoffical channels and/or WADs? I'd so immensely appreciate any insight to put my mind at ease.

I'm so very sorry for the long question, and if this is a stupid thing to ask, but I really just wanted the peace of mind. Again, any help/insight I get will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance!

Wii from circa 2009-early 2010 homebrew questions (no replies)

Ragefapper — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 01:29:48 +0100

So i successfully installed homebrew and other various programs on my wii and then forgot about it when i had a bad break up with my ex fiance. I am now moved into a new place and u packed some of my stuff and remembered my homebrewed wii. I want to be able to utilize this wii and homebrew without having to do a system update, but i want to be able to do everything homebrew is capable of. Are the old versions of homebrew capable of the same things the new versions are? I dont want to brick my system by updating anything. Any suggestions?
