Smash stack works, but causes the virtual Wii to freeze rather then loading the boot.elf in the SD cards root folder, and LetterBomb simply won't show up at all (which some quick google searches suggest might be due to the way the SD card is formatted). For our specific Wii version, we will be using the Letterbomb exploit. So, I decided to see if I could use Smash Stack or LetterBomb.
This just causes it to spit some invalid read/write errors until it crashes or I force close it. Get your Wiis mac address :The MAC address of the Wii can be found by: From the Wii Channel menu, select 'Wii Settings' (the round button on the bottom-left of the screen with 'Wii' on it) Select 'Internet,' then 'Console Settings. If you installed BootMii, regardless whether it was as boot2 or IOS, it is recommended you use it to create a NAND backup. LetterBomb is probably the most useful things to softmod 4.3 Wiis of all kind. So, I decided to see if I could use Dolphin as a "test ground" of sorts, just to see if I can run an exploit and get the installer running.įirst, I did the obvious thing and just dragged the boot.elf file for the BootMii installer on to Dolphin. Copy the Mac Address down or keep the screen with it on (will be needing it). However, I want to be careful not to do something stupid and brick it or otherwise mess something up. I recently got my hands on a physical Wii, and I'm very excited to get to work homebrewing it.
