Soft modding for WII

caoimhe · 18-07-2009, 02:15 PM

just upgraded the WII to ver 4.0E then soft-modded it, easy peasy, even for me

5 or 6 steps and i was playing backups (of my orginal disc's of course)

no opening or soldering LOL WHOO HOO

will put the file on my site if any one wants them

kids are happy chappys now

just as an added note, also using an ext hdd for run the back up games to save scratch disc's LOL

now to some of u this might be old hat, but for me this is brill LOL LOL LOL

Running backups from a USB drive is sweet aint it! ^_^ Plus you get better loading times that way too.

I can confirm that brawl works fine from the USB HDD. ^_^ doesn't work with normal softmod from the disc drive though. :-)

Also I have a utility that lets you copy wii games on your PC (like from an iso file) to the usb HDD if you want me to pm you a linky to it. ^_^

They are just DVDs, although DVD-R's are usually read at 3x speed instead of the normal 6x speed when softmodded as the drive sees it as a DVD rather than a Wii-DVD. Hardmodded systems will read them at the full 6x speed like it was a propper Wii disc.

They are usually backed up using a soft or hard modded system with the use of homebrew. Although there are a couple of PC DVD drives which can read direct from Wii discs though.

With the disc backed up, you can burn it to a DVD-R (don't use +R as Wii's don't like them, lol).
