ModMii will only build the Wilbrand exploit for 4.3 system menu's; however, Wilbrand is supported on all system menu's from 3.0 to 4.3. The reason ModMii does not offer Wilbrand exploits for system menu's 3.0 - 4.2 is because bannerbomb, another discless exploit, can be used instead and it does not require knowing your Wii's MAC Address. Don't say anything like 'search for it in google'. Just help me if you can.
I've bought this wii which is still on system menu 1.0. I belive that what you call a wii when you go to the settings and no version number could be located on the upper left. I think it's still a virgin wii since the owner said they barely used it since they only got 2 or 3 games for it and never got the interest on it, i want to backup the nand since someone might find some use for it and i feel i sould also back it up since this is the first time i saw this. So before updating through nintendo i have to backup everyting first. But i got stump installing HBC or Bootmii since there's no channels on the data management and i cannot copy save's to and from the SD. It is worth the trouble? If you can't copy any saves from the SD card, the only way to do it is with the Homebrew Channel installer disc, which requires you to have a mod chip.
However, you can't copy any game saves to the wii unless you have already played the game that they are from. If this is the problem, you could play Twilight Princess, make a save file, delete it, and use the to run the, this should work and allow you to install Bootmii and the Homebrew Channel. This is not much harder than installing homebrew on an updated system, so you may as well try it.
If you make a NAND backup on 1.0, would you please send it to me so that I can convert it and install it on my wii? Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09:05PM by jbc007.

Updates, which were downloaded via the system's Internet connection (, discontinued), allowed to add additional features and software. When a new update became available Nintendo sent a message to connected systems notifying them of the available update. Several game discs, both and games, have included system software updates so that players who are not connected to the Internet can still update their system.
Additionally this can force an upgrade by requiring the player to perform the update, without which the new game cannot be played. Some online games (such as and ) have come with specific extra updates, such as being able to receive posts from game-specific addresses, so, regardless of the version of the installed software, it will install an update. Contents.
Technology IOS The Wii's firmware is in the form of IOSes (thought by the developers to stand for 'Input Output Systems' or 'Internal Operating Systems' which run on a separate processor to other Wii software (nicknamed Starlet by the Wii homebrew community, as it is physically located inside the graphics chip, the, so it is a small part of Hollywood. The patent for the indicates a similar device which is simply named 'Input/Output Processor' ).
These control input and output between the code running on the main processor (the ' processor) and the Wii's hardware features that did not exist on the, which can only be accessed via the ARM. When releases a new IOS version, except for unusual circumstances (for example security updates to block homebrew), the new IOS does not replace any IOS already installed. Instead, it gets installed in addition to any current IOS versions. All native Wii software (including games distributed on, the System Menu itself, games, and Wii Channels), with the exception of certain homebrew applications, have the IOS version hardcoded into the software. When the software is run, the IOS that is hardcoded gets loaded by the Wii, which then loads the software itself. If that IOS does not exist on the Wii, in the case of disc-based software, it gets installed automatically (after the user is prompted).
With downloaded software, this should not theoretically happen, as the user cannot access the shop to download software unless the player has all the IOS versions that they require. However, if homebrew is used to forcefully install or run a piece of software when the required IOS does not exist, the user is brought back to the system menu. Nintendo created this system so that new updates would not unintentionally break compatibility with older games, but it does have the side effect that it uses up space on the Wii's internal memory. IOSes are referred to by their number, which can theoretically be between 0 and 254, although many numbers are skipped, presumably being development versions that were never completed. Only one IOS version can run at any given time.
The only time an IOS is not running is when the Wii enters GameCube mode, during which the Wii runs a variant of IOS specifically for GameCube games, MIOS which contains a modified version of the GameCube's User interface The system provides a graphical interface to the Wii's abilities. All games run directly on the Broadway processor, and either directly interface with the hardware (for the hardware common to the and ), or interface with IOS running on the processor (for Wii-specific hardware). The ARM processor does not have access to the screen, and therefore neither does IOS. This means that while a piece of software is running, everything seen on the screen comes from that software, and not from any operating system or firmware.
Therefore, the version number reported by the Wii is actually only the version number of the System Menu. This is why some updates do not result in a change of the version number: the System Menu itself is not updated, only (for example) IOSes and channels. As a side effect, this means it is impossible for Nintendo to implement any functions that would affect the games themselves, for example an in-game system menu (similar to the 's in-game Dashboard or the 's in-game ). The (known internally as the System Menu) is the name of the for the Wii game console, and it is the first thing to be seen when the system boots up. Similar to many other, the Wii is not only about games.
For example, it is possible to install applications such as to stream media (without requiring a disc) on the Wii. The Wii Menu let users access both game and no-game functions through built-in applications called Channels, which are designed to represent. There are six primary channels: the, and, although the latter two were not initially included and only became available via system updates. Some of the functions provided by these Channels on the Wii used to be limited to a, such as a full-featured and digital photo viewer. Users can also use Channels to create and share cartoon-like digital avatars called and download new games and Channels directly from the Wii Shop Channel.
New Channels include for example the and the. Separate Channels are graphically displayed in a grid and can be navigated using the pointer capability of the. Users can also rearrange these Channels if they are not satisfied with how the Channels are originally organized on the menu. Network features The Wii system supports connectivity with the handheld console with no additional accessories. This connectivity allows players to use the Nintendo DS and as inputs for Wii games.
Is the first example Nintendo has given of a game using Nintendo DS-Wii connectivity. Nintendo later released the for the Wii allowing its users to download game demos or additional data to their Nintendo DS. Like many other, the Wii console is able to connect to the, although this is not required for the Wii system itself to function. Each Wii has its own unique 16-digit Wii Code for use with Wii's non-game features.
With Internet connection enabled users are able to access the established service. By, (TKIP/RC4) and (CCMP/AES) is supported. Support was added in System Menu version 3.0.
As with the Nintendo DS, Nintendo does not charge for playing via the service; the 12-digit Friend Code system controls how players connect to one another. The service has a few features for the console, including the, and several Channels. The Wii console can also communicate and connect with other Wii systems through a self-generated wireless LAN, enabling local wireless multiplayer on different television sets.
The system also implements console-based software, including the Wii Message Board. One can connect to the Internet with third-party devices as well. The Wii console also includes a known as the, which is a version of the 9 browser with menus. It is meant to be a convenient way to access the web on the television screen, although it is far from offering a comfortable user interface compared with modern Internet browsers. A virtual keyboard pops up when needed for input, and the acts like a mouse, making it possible to click anywhere on the screen and navigate though web links.
However, the browser cannot always handle all the features of most normal web pages, although it does support, thus capable of playing Flash games. Some third-party services such as the online were also available on the Wii via the Internet Channel browser, although BBC iPlayer was later relaunched as the separate BBC iPlayer Channel on the Wii.
In addition, Internet access including the Internet Channel and system updates may be restricted by the feature of the Wii. Backward compatibility The original designs of the Nintendo Wii console, more specifically the Wii models made pre-2011 were fully with devices including game discs, memory cards and controllers. This was because the Wii hardware had ports for both GameCube memory cards, and peripherals and its slot-loading drive was able to accept and read the previous console's discs. GameCube games work with the Wii without any additional configuration, but a GameCube controller is required to play GameCube titles; neither the nor the functions in this capacity. The Wii supports output in 480p-enabled GameCube titles. Peripherals can be connected via a set of four GameCube controller sockets and two Memory Card slots (concealed by removable flip-open panels). The console retains connectivity with the and through the, which is used in the same manner as with the GameCube; however, this feature can only be accessed on select GameCube titles which previously utilized it.
There are also a few limitations in the backward compatibility. For example, online and LAN features of certain GameCube games were not available since the Wii does not have serial ports for the.
The Wii uses a proprietary port for video output, and is incompatible with all Nintendo GameCube audio/video cables (, and RGB ). The console also lacks the GameCube footprint and high-speed port needed for support. Furthermore, only GameCube functions were available and only compatible memory cards and controllers could be used when playing a GameCube game.
This is due to the fact that the Wii's internal memory would not save GameCube data. Because of the original device's backward compatibility with earlier Nintendo products players can enjoy a massive selection of older games on the console in addition to hundreds of newer Wii game titles. However, units lack GameCube backward compatibility.
Also, the redesigned Wii Family Edition and Wii Mini, launched in 2011 and 2013 respectively, had this compatibility stripped out. Nevertheless, there is another service called which allow users to download older games from prior Nintendo platforms (namely the, and ) onto their Wii console, as well as games from non-Nintendo platforms such as the.
List of additional Channels This is a list of new Wii Channels released beyond the four initial Channels (i.e. Disc Channel, Mii Channel, Photo Channel and Wii Shop Channel) included in the original consoles. The News Channel and the Forecast Channel were released as part of system updates so separate downloads were not required. As of January 30, 2019, all channels listed below have been discontinued with the exception of the Wii Fit Channel and the Internet Channel. Retrieved 2009-09-02.
