Good guide, but I'm stuck at the part where I copy the contents of the 000000010000003Cv6174 folder to the 00000001>0000003c>v6174 folder. Where is the 00000001>0000003c>v6174 folder? Do I have to create it on my SD card?

check your SD card that you extracted the contents of the zip to.
The 00000001 folder is there. Copy the contents you receive using the NUS unwadded to there

Ok thank you. One more thing: I downloaded the cIOS38_rev14-Installer, but the file inside it is a .dol
Also the preloader is a .dol
How do I install them?

on your SD card, there should already be a folder that was extracted called: apps.
put the individual installers in the apps folder (within their own individual folders).
should be /apps/preloader etc...
the .dol should be renamed "boot.dol" if they aren't already.
run HBC to install them.

I can't get into the shopping channel after following this guide, it just bounces me back to preloader. I notice that one of the other guides suggests using the 4.0 updater before 4.1, would that have anything to do with it? (I was originally at 3.4)

Yes, most likely you dont have the latest wii shop channel.

using waninkoko's 4.0 updater then 4.1 should solve the problem.

can somebody please help me. i have been trying to get information on how to get past this problem for the last couple of weeks, and still nothing, either my posts get ignored, or i get answers that are not very clear, or suggest to do things that i have already done. i must have run searches in this forum and google a thousand times, and i am still getting nothing at all. please help, i am at my wits end...

i have a japanese wii (i live in japan)and recently used xzxero`s guide to update to 4.1J, i followeed it to the letter, all the way to installing preloader. only to find out that pre-loader doesnt have any hacks for a japanese console (correct me if i am wrong). So reading the forums, it seemed like my next best option was startpatch 4.1 as it has hacks for a japanese wii. the problem is i keep getting the same error when i try and install it (loading through hbc) "getting file size.... error: -4" and thats where it stops and goes back to hbc. any idea how I can get startpatch installed on my machine. ive posted a few times on the forum, and left comments/questions in threads, but im not getting anything. i dont like posting the same message all over the forums mulitple times and creating more in the way info others have to read through to get the info they want, but seriously, i cant figure this out and im hoping someone can help me get past this problem

I followed this guide from step 1 (online mode) and now i have 2 problems...

The sd card menu freezes up the wii every time i open it.

I installed FFIV After the years, but when i launch it, i just get a black screen....

Do i have to see the preloader screen every time i boot my wii??

any ideas?


Edit: sd card menu freezing solved , i erased everything from sd card (boot.elf, hacks. ini, etc)

set preloader to boot to: system menu in its settings.

the bannerbomb was causing the sd card menu to freeze.
if the game doesnt work you might need to update IOS 53 and/or 55 via dop-iosv7

Wii shop channel not Wii Ship Channel. Anyway, for Wii Shop, you've to install IOS61. For FFIV, make sure you have IOS38 installed....

Hi. Super newbie here. Im in the stage where im installing bootmii. However, it seems that installing it is taking forever in the line that says "Testing usable NAND blocks...."

Is it normal to wait 10 minutes for this? What should i do?

Hurray! Thanks for the great guide. I just followed your offline method and i successfully did it! Yes, a noob did it! I also installed coverflow and neogamma as additional channels. Lastly, i configured bootmii to boot directly to system menu instead of the bootmii menu.

    Also somebody is remaking it

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022

    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game

    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff

    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled

    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.
