They're probably forwarder channels, meaning you need to have the emulators set up on your SD card as normal (i.e. you need an "apps" folder on the root of your SD card, and within that folder, you need another folder for each app).by SifJar - Homebrew Applications
Quotesyc20099Try this way and it will solve your problem. If you think the boot2 doesn't work on your wii but if you really like to use bootmii, try to install bootmii as an IOS or, use preloader. That's work like bootmii but it's much more better and if your wii is brick, you can fix by using preloader and also, you don't have to worry about NAND backup.

Savegame Manager requires a cIOS as far as I know, but that is against the rules for discussion here, so you're on your own if you try to get one installed.

You can install HBC just fine. No Wii has ever been bricked from installing HBC, or having HBC installed during an update. (At worst, the update removes HBC. If you wait a few days/weeks before updating, you can usually update HBC first and have it stay through the update, and there hasn't been an update in a long time)by SifJar - Getting Started
QuotemahdiWill NAND flashers work? Unlike save mii, they go in the USB port of the wii.No they don't. They get soldered directly to the NAND chip inside the Wii. (There may be some solderless ones which clip on, but they still need to be attached to the NAND chip inside the Wii, meaning the Wii must be disassembled).by SifJar - FixMii
QuotemahdiI only use iOS for something like iOS 249, iOS 253, or stuff like that. I use backups to backup my wii NAND to protect it from bricks. I do not support piracy. That is unfair to business men that sell video games or stuff like that. Off topic: do 4.3u wiis have GameCube ports and slots?If not, do they have any lid to open? Again, iOS is not the same as IOS.

No made any reference to iOS, the OS that runs on iPhones and iPads. If you meant "IOS" (which is not the same thing), there is nothing wrong with IOS, the problems are with modifying IOS, which is an unnecessary procedure recommended by pirates for their warez.

You cannot install BootMii/boot2 on new Wiis. The changelog entry is referring to a bug which stopped "newer" Wiis (that were still old enough to install it) from installing it.by SifJar - Getting Started
I assume you mean can only be installed as IOS, it is BootMii so "installed as BootMii" makes no sense. And in that case, you cannot install BootMii/boot2, which does indeed mean you can't get the improved brick protection it offers. But there's a great alternative called "common sense" i.e. not running random rubbish on your Wii without knowing exactly what it is supposed to do, anby SifJar - Getting Started
Easiest way for you to know is for you to run the HackMii Installer and see what it says. It will tell you if you can or not and won't let you install it if your Wii is too new. Anything else will be a guess.by SifJar - Getting Started
To build your own, you'd probably need a decent knowledge of electronics (you'd need to be able to read the schematics, understand them, find the components, put them together correctly ). As for NEEK, it's main purpose is using the SD card or a USB device as the Wii's "NAND" (it stands for "NAND and ES Emulation Kit"), but it does also have features involving debug logginby SifJar - Offtopic
There are various hardware NAND flashers available. One that was popular was the Infectus, but I don't think it's officially available for sale any more. You might still be able to find one, otherwise there are other options. I think the Progskeet can be used, for example. It costs €40-45 (about $50-60 I think). It may be harder to find information regarding the use of the Progskeet witby SifJar - FixMii
Quotemetroid_maniacIf you do not have the nand keys, I do not think you can flash anything to the nand chip to fix it.It depends if the Wii is old enough to allow BootMii/boot2 installation. If it is, this can be done using a hardware NAND flasher, then it can be used to extract the keys, which can then be used to create a clean NAND to flash. If it's too new for that, nothing can be done.by SifJar - FixMii
Download the HackMii Installer, run it from your existing HBC installation (put it on either an SD card or a USB drive; the folder structure should be like this: /apps/hackmii_installer/boot.elf ), choose to update HBC. Once it has finished updating, simply update your Wii normally (i.e. from the Wii Settings menu in the System Menu) and HBC will survive the update and you will have both HBC andby SifJar - Getting Started
Well, like I said, preloader is old and outdated, no one should be using it anymore. There is a newer version by a different developer which is called "priiloader", but it has a very bad reputation and has caused a lot of bricked (i.e. broken) Wiis. I would personally advise against installing it, but it does exist and should install on a fully up-to-date Wii.by SifJar - Getting Started
Nothing. preloader is old and outdated, it won't install on an updated Wii. You probably don't really need it anyway - was there a specific purpose behind you installing it? What were you hoping to achieve?by SifJar - Getting Started
No, it is not bricked. Bricked means completely non-functional i.e. like a brick (of the sort used to build houses etc.). And this belongs in the "FixMii" section, not the "Feedback & Support" section. F&S is for talking about WiiBrew (i.e. these forums and the wiki), not for talking about actual Wii stuff.

I don't think a disc drive failure would prevent the Wii from booting. Can you turn on the Wii with a Wii remote, or do you have to use the power button on the console? If you can't do it with a remote, it could be the bluetooth module is gone. From what I've seen, this would prevent the Wii booting properly (although I thought BootMii still worked in this case).by SifJar - FixMii
I think Dolphin can do that, but I also believe that Dolphin isn't ideal for development purposes, as there are things which can crash Dolphin which work fine on a real Wii, and there are various other inaccuracies between how Dolphin works and how an actual Wii works.by SifJar - Offtopic
It is quite possible that Android does not include the necessary binaries. Android is not a full Linux installation, and as such does not include every tool that a regular Linux installation will include. My advice would be just do it on a regular Linux distro (run it in a virtual machine if you don't want to install as second OS on your computer just for this).by SifJar - Wii Linux
For what it's worth, I think many devs get by without a USB Gecko. You can always rely on stack dumps for some help with debugging, and of course you can also add extra outputs (printf statements or outputting to a file) for debugging purposes. Not quite as convenient as a USB Gecko, perhaps, but you should be able to debug a lot of errors with a combination of those if you can't get yoby SifJar - Offtopic

If it is indeed an IOS problem, installing a clean copy of the latest version of IOS36 should fix the problem I think (I'm nearly certain SSBB uses IOS36 anyway). A regular online update should do the trick, or failing that you could try something like dop-Mii.by SifJar - Homebrew General
