Hacking [TUT] How-to install Starfall (With Pictures and download!)

[breakdaze]

This is a tutorial I made originally for Wiiso but I decided it my be helpfull to some of the noobs here.

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to install Starfall on you’re Wii. All the pics in this tutorial were taken by me! Before we begin I’m taking note right now that I don’t take any responsibility for you bricking you’re Wii. Alright let’s begin!

You’ll need the following to install Starfall
Wii with update 3.2 (If it’s not 3.2 you’re SOL.)
SD card reader for you’re PC
SD card (Wii compatible)
Starfall files (Download link in topic)
Homebrew channel

Firstly download this zip. It contains the Starfall files (I took them directly out of my wii)

http://www.mediafire.com/?0azynmmgmww

Extract the Zip file. Doesn’t matter where but you have to be able to find it. lol

You should get a folder called “Starfall”.

Next open up the Drive you’re SD card is in. In my case it’s Removable Disk K: Drag and drop the “Starfall” folder into the “apps” folder on the root of the SD card.

Take out the SD card and put it in you’re Wii.

(if you need a picture you’re pretty sad)

Next you'll want to turn on you're wii and boot up homebrew channel.

find the starfall folder Click and open it

You'll now get a black screen with writing on it. read Carefully. Then press B+1 at the same time. It might take a few tries but it'll load up a screen with a bunch of options.

You should get the following screen.

To install any files simply select the ones you want press A and it should say install on the far right of the selection.

when you've selected everything you want to install press 2 button and it should install everything. After its done press the A button to reboot you’re Wii.

There you go. You're wii now has Starfall!

If you want me to make a tutorial on how to use any of the features let me know.

comments are appreciated.

In case everyone didn't know, the usual place to download Starfall is here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Starfall At least it is the regular Wiki page where you get the link to download it from Crediar's site (he's the software author). Respect.

And, ya, if you can read, you can install Starfall, there would be a lot less stupid questions if people read, but noobs aint like that sometimes.

Yes, sometimes it takes a lot of tries with the key combo to make it run.

Nice and calm does it, go and open a browser, google search starfall wiibrew or just starfall wii.....was that hard sir?

Were you taking the piss? or wouldn't you just search first anyway?

This helps me out a lot.
Now I don't have to worry about disc checks for updates.

Tutorial does help, but all the info is on the page of the download and in a readme, so doesn't that help to?

Noob question here, sorry.

It tells me it's only compatible with 3.2E (v290).

It then goes on to say I have v194.

I do however have 3.2E, so how would I change it from 3.2E (v194) to 3.2E (v290)?

Thanks.

@breakdaze

there is no need to quote the ENTIRE tut

 

[linkinworm]

how can you make a tut for something like this i mean here is what you said in about 20 or so words

copy to SD card like other homebrew, run, press B+1, sellect options press 2, done

 

[Adr990]

Im wondering if maybe all these guides and tutorials could not be put into a "FAQs and Tutorials" section of some sort. Would sure go a long way to keeping the Wii Hacks section clean.

Yeah,
If I was high mod here I would do that 0_o

Madness of all those Guides 10 times placed and are like:

"Ok first step:
Turn your wii on...
Of course I will explain you how to:
There are two ways! the one is harder than the other one! be care full !
Walk/roll/crouch/jump to your wii and press the Power button! with the (') and also setup some Volt on your wii

(SO THERE IS A LED LIGHT RED/ORANGE/GREEN)
ETC ETC...

Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!

Are there any issues with backup/official games while the disk update skip is on?

Have you ever tried explaining something to someone that has no clue, I mean really? Some people you have to give a complete pic to pic tut on something for them to figure it out, And sometimes you just have to give up hope.lol
