Hacking Wii Using Mac

Jan 31, 2019 This video shows you how to install the Wii softmod using ModMii, also shows you how to install Emulators, Virtual Console and WiiWare games. Wii modding guide. LetterBomb If you need help for anything regarding this tutorial, please join the RiiConnect24 Discord server (recommended) or e-mail us at email protected. LetterBomb is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board. Aug 15, 2019 1: you open the console with a screwdriver and look for stickers inside that contain the mac address (not sure if wii got that stickers, usually latptops have.) 2: you connect the wii to the internet and with a computer you use a wireless hacking tool (like kali linux, or other wireless sniffer) to scan for wireless devices.

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally had a chance to sit down and mod the “unhackable” Wii Mini. Nintendo stripped out the methods that people previously used to mod the Wii from the Wii Mini. This means the SD Card is out, the wifi connection is gone, the Gamecube controller ports are gone, it can’t run Gamecube games, and there are three fewer USB ports. So how are we going to hack the Wii Mini? Via Bluetooth of course! Enter, Bluebomb.

What is Bluebomb?

‘Bluebomb is an exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini’s Bluetooth libraries. Although it is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, BlueBomb can run on the original Wii as well. This exploit also enables recovery from certain bricks, such as a banner brick.’

What you will need:

A Linux installation. (If you’re not running Linux you have other options. You can run Linux quick and dirty on a Raspberry Pi, you can install Linux in a virtual PC on your current rig, you can flash a live distro of Linux onto a USB and boot your PC temporarily that way)
Bluetooth adapter. (If your setup already has one built-in, you’re good to go. If not, eBay has basic USB ones for cheap.)
A USB drive. (Format it as Fat32 for this. If you use it for your live Linux distro, then you cannot use it on the Wii Mini.)

Instructions Part 1-The “hard” part:

Download the starter pack from here.
Unzip the file onto your computer.
Place the boot.elf onto the Fat32 formatted USB drive.
Plug the USB into the single USB port on the back.
Go into the Settings app on the Wii Mini menu.
In the upper righthand corner of the screen you’ll see your version number. Make a note of it, for example Ver. 4.3U
You can now turn off the Wii Mini.
Go to Linux, make certain you’re connected to your wifi and that your Bluetooth is turned on.
Open the Linux terminal (for those using a live distro or are unfamiliar, simply press Control, Shift, and T at the same time).
First, type this line wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RiiConnect24/Wii-Guide/master/assets/files/bluebomb-helper.sh
Now you’ll type this linechmod +x bluebomb-helper.sh
The last step of the terminal is to type this line./bluebomb-helper.sh
Press enter, let it do it’s business.
It should ask you some questions. Answer them accurately. When it comes to the question about your region, type in the letter that was in your version number on the Settings app of the Wii Mini.
Now you should finally have a line on the terminal saying “waiting to accept”, DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING.
Next, get up and make sure your Wii Mini is plugged in within three feet of your PC running Linux.
Turn on your Wii Mini using the console’s power button, not a Wii Remote.
Connect zero Wii Remotes.
Once it’s on the Wii menu, press the sync button numerous times. It will be searching for a Bluetooth signal, ideally the one coming from your PC.
While you’re pressing the sync button, watch the terminal. It will say “got connection handle” once it has established a link with the Wii Mini. It may take a lot of presses, be patient and diligent, it will be worth it.
Once the connection is made, you should see the Wii Mini’s screen boot to the Hackmii installer.
Congrats! You’ve done what very few people have done (or care) to do!
Turn off your PC running Linux as you’ll no longer need it again.

Instructions Part 2-The rest of it:

1. Now that the Hackmii installer screen is up, it will mention a warning telling you to press 1 to continue. Sync up a remote and press 1 to continue.
2. Next, choose “Install the Homebrew Channel”.
3. Let it do its thing. It will install to the USB drive and say “SUCCESS” in green once it’s done.
4. It will give you an option to “Continue” now, do so.
5. You can now choose “Exit” to leave the app back to the Homebrew Channel.
6. Unplug the USB drive and plug it into your PC. You no longer need Linux, so use whatever PC setup you normally use.
7. Download this file.
8. Unzip the file and put the “d2x-cios-installer” folder into the “apps” folder on your USB you just plugged in. (If there’s no apps folder on there, simply make one, no biggie).
9. Once that’s done transferring, plug the USB back into your Wii Mini.
10. If you left the Homebrew Channel running, plugging the USB back in will make the apps pop up on your screen. If you didn’t, navigate back to the Homebrew Channel on your Wii menu.
11. Navigate to the d2x cios installer icon that’s on your Homebrew Channel screen. Press A on it and choose to start it up.
12. Now, you’ll have three sections to specify. You’ll see Select CIOS, Select CIOS base, and Select CIOS slot.
13. For Select CIOS, choose use the d-pad to change it to “d2xl-v1-beta2”.
14. For Select CIOS base, choose “57”.
15. For Select CIOS slot, choose “249”.
16. You will see one of two version numbers default on the screen, either 31775 or 31776. Write down whichever one you see, don’t change it.
17. Once all of those are set and you’ve written the version number down, press A to start the install.
18. If it fails, try the other version number that you didn’t write down.
19. It will eventually work once the version numbers match. And that’s it!
20. Now you can use an external harddrive instead of the USB. Put the “apps” folder on it and you’ll be able to run USB Loader GX with games from it!

Looking to begin unlocking the advanced capabilities of the Nintendo Wii? You’ve come to the right place!

Hacking Wifi Using Mac

There are loads of reasons I think the Wii is worth hacking. Among these reasons are affordability and easiness to modify. With any Wii and some easy hacking, this now outdated Nintendo console can run emulators, play games from backups and become your central system for playing all your favorite Nintendo classics!
Not to mention, you’ll be able to use services such as RiiConnect24 and Wiimfi, both of which replace previous online services for the Wii that are no longer available. That means you can use all its original capabilities, such as online play, the Wii message board, and more!

Follow this guide to learn how to make your Nintendo Wii do all this and more! I should note, as with modifying any console, there is a risk of bricking. The chance is very slim, but still possible. So, be warned.

Hacking the Wii

Note: this section of the article is adapted from https://wii.guide/. All credit goes to the Wii Guide team and their hard work, and be sure to check their guide if you’re confused at all here. If your Wii is already hacked, you can skip to the WiiFlow section.
The first step for building this DIY retro gaming console is hacking it, or softmodding it. This will enable it to run the various emulators we will use to play the classic games. There are many different methods of doing so, but the method we will cover here is known as LetterBomb. This is an exploit using the Wii Message Board on the home menu, which will enable you to run homebrew (including emulators!)
Head to https://please.hackmii.com/ and input your Wii MAC address (found in your Wii System Settings under Internet -> Console Information). Make sure you check mark the system menu for your specific region, and also check “Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!” Complete the captcha and cut the red or blue wire to download!
Extract the contents to your SD card, and then put it in your Wii. Go to the Wii Message Board from the Wii Menu and open the red letter with a bomb in it. From here we have several things to install.

Installing the Homebrew Channel and BootMii

The HackMii installer should come up. Wait 30 seconds, then press 1 once it prompts you to do so. Continue to install the Homebrew Channel. Then, do the same for BootMii and install as boot2 if able. Otherwise, install it as IOS.

Backing Up the NAND

For whatever reason, BootMii can only be controlled by a GameCube controller or the start/reset buttons on the Wii console itself. It does not support any Wii remotes or classic controllers.
To access BootMii, you must launch it from the newly installed Homebrew Channel. To do so, press the Home button on a Wii remote and select “launch BootMii.” In BootMii, navigate to options and then backup to SD. Be prepared to wait several minutes for this to complete.

Installing Priiloader

If you haven’t already done so, download Priiloader and extract to the apps folder on the SD card. Then insert the SD card in your Wii and launch the installer from the Homebrew Channel. Press + or A to install!
To launch Prilloader, turn off your Wii, then turn it back on and hold reset until the Priiloader menu opens. Under system menu hacks, enable the ones you desire. I recommend the following options: “Region free everything,” “block disc updates,” and “block online updates.” Check https://wii.guide/priiloader for a further explanation on all the system menu hacks.

Installing cIOS

A custom IOS, or cIOS, is required for using a USB loader such as WiiFlow to load games off a hard drive or SD card.
To start, download d2x cIOS Installer and extract to the SD card apps folder, if you haven’t already. Like before, insert the SD Card in the Wii and run the program from the Homebrew Channel. You will be installing it 3 times; here’s the configuration for each one:

Once finished with them all, exit once done.
If you return an error like I did, and the cIOS doesn’t install, here’s a helpful link that shows another method you can try, the offline method: https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/backup-launchers/installation
