DISCLAIMER
FAQ
1. What is this Softmii thing?
It’s a Wii modification pack by the Softmii crew which enables you to… (Read
the features section)
2. Is it safe?
Fortunately, yes. It is safe… Don’t be scared of the disclaimer, we (The Softmii
Team) just don’t want to get sued and clearing our names.
4. I load the Twilight Hack, and then when I did the hack, it froze….
A main possibility is you are using the wrong slot. Choose the other save slot in
TP.
5. I got an “Exception DSI occurred” message while doing the Twilight Hack,
help!
It’s either:
a) A bad HBC installer file. Get a better one in hbc.hackmii.com
b) Bad SD Card, get a new one
7. Okay, got it sorted out, but it shows “Not a valid Wii application”!
The file is not compatible with the HBC.
Either:
a) Get the .dol file
b) Consult the developer so they make a .dol version
c) Convert the file using Elf to DOL Converter (Found in wiibrew.org)
14. Can anyone tell me what does all the hacks in Preloader do?
Remove Health Warning -Removes the Health Waring on Boot
Region Free Wii -Makes you wii region free
Update Blocker -Blocks ninty discs updates
Force Disc Region -Forces Discs own region
Region Free GC Video Patch Mode - patches the video signal to a video
No Copy Save Protections Removed -Retail Discs run 6x, Backups run 3x
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT .APP FOR YOUR
REGION. 00000045.APP SHOULD BE USED ON PAL, 00000042.APP NEED TO
BE USED ON NTSC.
Requirements:
1) Identify your System Menu, head to the Wii Settings and check the text on the top-right
section. The number (3.2, for example) is your firmware version whilst the text (U, for
Example) is your region. U is USA (NTSC), E is Europe (PAL) and J is Japan (NTSC).
2) 3.3 and below? Extract the Twilight Hack -3.3 zip file to the root of your SD Card.
3.4? Extract the Twilight Hack 3.4 zip file to the root of your SD Card
Both will create a folder called private which contains the Twilight Hack
3) Delete the Twilight Princess save in the Wii. Then, copy the Twilight Hack over according to
your region (The regions of Twilight Hack can be fathomed by checking the icons)
4a) Before doing step 4, for US Twilight Princess, check the version of your disc by taking a
look on its back. Find a text that says “RVL-RZDE-0A-<version number>”. Check if it says “0”
or “2”. Keep this in mind.
4) Start Zelda regularly, load the Twilight Hack save (Remember 4a? For users with “0”, use
TwilightHack0, for users with “2” use TwilightHack2. Both can be found in the Load Game
menu). Walk backwards as soon as the game starts.
6) Start the Homebrew Channel, and load “Wad Manager” you find will find in the list of
applications.
7) Select “Load From SD”, and then select “IOS16.wad” and press (+) to install
10) Select "Load From SD" once more and this time install "cIOS249rev7.wad". If that fails, use
“WAD Manager”
PHASE 2 – Let’s Downgrade, Shall We?
11) Return to HBC, launch IOS Downgrader, that tool will downgrade all of your IOSes. If it
fails, re-launch again. IF IOS Downgrader requires a reboot as soon as you launch it, just
skip this step or read the FAQ.
Your Wii IOS's are now proper and hackable, Regardless will still need the special 3.2, So
lets do the following steps after you make sure you have a net connection.
12) Run HBC (Homebrew Channel) and load Softmii NAND Browser. Once loaded, press A on
Title, then go to 0000001, press A, then, travel to 0000002, press A. Find your app file
(00000042 for US and 00000045 for PAL) and press “+”. Wait till the “File written to the SD
Card” message appears, then press Home.
NOTE : This is your backup to restore your system menu back to normal using Softmii
Tweak
I’ll greatly send the .doc file if you know how to fix this dumb gap
13) Load AnyRegion Changer 1.1b mod05. Once booted, it will ask about Korean Disc, just
ignore and proceed. (Thanks to QLeap for the ARC mod!)
14) Get into the options (Press A), and IGNORE the top section which has region change stuff
and EULA stuff. Touch anything in the top section, you are in a great risk of screwing up.
15) Look at the mid-bottom options, about installing 3.2 (or 3.3K), and leave it on 3.2E for PAL
/3.2U for NTSC
16) Press A on "GO" and then answer YES when it asks if you are sure.
17) Answer "NO" when it asks about Korean Disc Loading. (It messes with WAD installs
Thanks kitt050383)
18) Answer "YES" when it asks to install SPECIAL STARFALL TYPE-HACKS. Wait for it
to finish, it can take a few minutes. Then press HOME when finished to reboot.
PHASE 3 – Reaching the Finish Line!
18b) If you previously had Preloader installed run Hacks Remover, it will remove your
Hacks.ini
19) Load Preloader from Homebrew Channel. Read the Disclaimer and press 1 to install.
20) Once done, it should reboot your Wii and goes into the Preloader menu.
22) Enable all the hacks you like (recommended - Skip Updates, Move Disc Channel and
No Copy)
23) Select "save settings" and wait for “Settings Saved” message.
25) Set "auto boot: System" (using the D-Pad Arrows), and save settings with A, then Press B
27) Run “CIOSCORP INSTALLER”. (It may freeze briefly. Thanks to WiiBlaster + Icefire)
30) When the installation is complete press Home to return to the Homebrew Channel and turn
off your Wii
So, you installed Softmii, good job. Here is what you did to install Softmii:
HBC Installation -> Downgrade -> Preloader -> Hacks setting up -> CIOSCORP
What enabled region-free backup loading through disc channel were CIOSCORP and ARC 1.1b
mod05.
DONE
The SoftMii Team is committed to bringing you the most current and up to date backup
solutions available and will be bringing you full 3.4 system support and a full SoftMii
offline installation method in the near future.
