Hello everybody and welcome back to another tutorial video now in today's video I'm going to be showing you guys another method
That you can use to homebrew your Nintendo Wii console
Now if you guys don't know a couple of years ago
I made a tutorial video showcasing the popular LetterBomb method that is used and that has been used for many years to homebrew the
Nintendo Wii and
After seeing many comments on that video saying that you know, this is great
but I don't have an SD card or I don't have a way of copying files over to an SD card for my computer
Is there any other way that I can homebrew my Nintendo Wii now?
There was another method released after the LetterBomb method that allow you to homebrew your Wii
Using the internet channel, it was called FlashHax. And what you would do is go to a website on the internet channel
I personally was never able to get that method to work and plus if you don't have the internet channel installed on your Wii
You can't do it because the Wii Shop Channel has been shut down
But this new method that I'm gonna show you today is not only way easier than both of those methods
But it also doesn't require any prerequisites. You don't need to have an SD card or a channel installed
The only thing that you need to get your Wii homebrew using this method is an internet connection
That's it
If you can connect your way to the Internet, you can homebrew it right out of the box
So I'm going to be showing you just how easy it is in this video tutorial right here
so all you want to do is
From your Wii menu
Go to the Wii options in the bottom left corner of the screen then we want to do is go to the Wii settings option
On the right here and you want to first before you do anything
verify what version that your system is running
Now it needs to be 4.3. Now the letter at the end here it'll be either a U, an E, a J or a K and that just corresponds to
Which region that your Wii was manufactured to work in
So if you were in Europe, for example, and you had a European Wii console
It would be 4.3E instead of 4.3U
so what you want to do is if you have anything other than
4.3. You want to go to the very last page of your system menu and perform a Wii system update
Once you've done that you want to come back to your Wii settings screen here and go over to the second page
Where you see the internet options right here you want to go into that
And what you want to do is if you don't already have your Wii connected to the internet go to connection settings and go to
connection one you can use any one of these but we're gonna go into connection one and there should be an option here to actually
Set up and you know, get your Wii either connected wirelessly or wired to your home network
Once you've done that you want to go into the connection that you're currently using
So for me that's connection one right here and go down to the third option, which is change
Settings and what you want to do is press the plus button on your Wii Remote to go over a couple of pages
And what you're looking for is the DNS settings. So I think it's about two or three pages over now
You want to be careful
Because the auto obtain IP address and the auto obtain DNS screens look very similar
You want to make sure that you're on the auto obtain DNS setting and not the IP address
You do not want to modify the IP address you want to go over to the DNS address and modify that
What you want to do here is select
No
we don't want to auto obtain it and you want to click on advanced settings and
What you're basically want to do here is set up a custom primary and secondary DNS that'll allow this exploit to work
So I'm gonna show you what you have to actually put in here go to the primary
DNS setting and change it to 97.74.103.14
Select OK, then go to the secondary DNS and change it to 173.201.71.14
Once you have that put in, press OK
And you want to confirm these two numbers right here because it's imperative that you get both these numbers exactly
Correct as I have them here
If you don't well, this exploits not going to work. Once you have both these in you
just want to press the confirm button here and you want to save the settings. Now the Wii is going to ask you to perform a
Connection test, so go ahead and press OK, and this can take a while
but what the Wii's gonna do is just basically test this connection and see if it can actually reach out to the internet and if
This doesn't work
You're gonna have to reconfigure those settings and make sure that your Wii is able to actually connect to the internet
Through your home network, so you may have to modify some there if you can't get this to work
But this can take a while
Once it completes the connection test
It'll come up with a screen asking you to perform a system update and I'm gonna show you what you should do
Once that screen appears. All right, if you've done everything right you should see this screen right here that says the connection test was successful
Perform a Wii System Update now?
Press No. Now what you want to do is go back out of your connection settings a couple of pages so hit back and then hit
Back again. So you're back at the internet options menu here. Now, what you want to do is select user agreements
And you want to press Yes right here and what this is going to do is load the Wii
EULA and it's actually through this that this exploit is able to work. So we're going to press next here and
It's going to connect to the internet and basically what this
EULA normally does is it at this point reaches out and downloads the most recent EULA from Nintendo
but when you change those
DNS settings what it will do is display this in place of the EULA
Now as far as I know this is actually made by the same author who created FlashHax
Which I mentioned at the beginning of the video, which was the internet channel method
So this is actually made by him
But it's just made much easier now because if you don't have the internet channel on your Wii, you can't use FlashHax. And in
my case, I couldn't even get FlashHax to work
I tried it multiple times. The Wii kept freezing and locking up and it wasn't working. This method here
I've had much more success with. Now as it says, if your Wii Remote stops responding
so if it just totally freezes and you cannot move the Wii cursor around
Its failed and you have to restart your system and try this whole method again
I have not had to do this in my previous
tests before I started recording. It did work for me on the first try
So maybe I just got lucky. You guys might have to try this a couple of times
I don't know but I can say that this is much easier
This is the easiest method I've ever used to homebrew my Nintendo Wii
It does take about one to two minutes to actually
do anything and you want to make sure that you DON'T PRESS "I accept" or "I don't accept" you want to keep it
on this screen
If you press "I accept" it will go back to the Wii menu and and you'll have to do this again
This is a good sign right here. It has started actually loading the exploit
You'll see that it actually tries to find the boot.elf file on the SD card and when it doesn't it just tries to
Download it over the network
So that's what's so great about this is that you don't even need to have an SD card
As I said, it's just gonna download everything over the network now it will sit on this screen for a minute
When you see this, it may look like something is wrong. But this is a very good sign
Becuase this next screen might look very familiar to any of you guys who have homebrewed your Wii before. This is the HackMii installer
it has downloaded successfully without me having to copy any files over to my Wii manually for my computer and
We're just gonna sit on this screen and wait for the option to press one to continue to appear. And yes
It does give you this warning that if you paid for this software
If you followed somebody else's guide and they charge you money to download the software
You have been scammed
So you want to demand your money back as it says. We're going to go ahead and press one
And here we are in the HackMii installer. So we're going to press A to continue now
I already have the homebrew channel installed as you probably saw from the beginning of this video
but what you would do is just use the up d-pad button to go up to "Install the Homebrew channel" and
You would go through that process
You just have to press install and then yes, and it will install the homebrew channel and you'll be back at this screen here
So you can also use this method if you already have the channel installed to uninstall it
You can also install BootMii if you want
I don't have this installed but the option is there for you
And once you're done with this, you just have to press exit and it will launch into the homebrew channel
As you can see right here. So here is my homebrew channel
you can see that I have USBLoaderGX installed if you want to see a tutorial on how to basically
Run your Wii games off of a USB hard drive check out my tutorial on USBLoaderGX
It'll be up on the top right of your screen
right now but
There you have it guys. We're just going to press the HOME key to exit out to the system menu
That is how easy it is
To homebrew your Nintendo Wii
This is just this is the easiest method that I've ever
Seen and I believe that this method will be around for years to come because the Wii is not going to be updated. This exploit
is not going to be patched as with all the other exploits
Nintendo is not going to patch these exploits because they don't support the Wii anymore
So this exploit's gonna be here to stay and it's gonna be very very nice because basically that previous tutorial that I did
Yeah, you can still follow that method but this method is just way easier
You don't have to have any sort of SD card or method of copying files over to your Wii
It's way easier and way simpler as you guys saw in this video
So if this video helped you guys definitely be sure to give it a thumbs up
