rssmii question

[cobalt ice]

Is RSSMii for RiiConnect24 only?

[craggy urchin]

You need to have riiconnect24 message board to use it

So if you’re on dolphin or Wii U it won’t work

[cobalt ice]

oh, I'm on Wii U

[craggy urchin]

Sad

[cobalt ice]

well, priiloader for Wii U isn't far away, one day...

[craggy urchin]

Plus, RSS is annoying anyway. It’s also an easy way to mail brick your Wii

[cobalt ice]

I see

I was just looking at some Homebrew Applications to put on my Wii and I found that

[craggy urchin]

Do you need some recommendations

For apps

[cobalt ice]

Ya sure. I've gotten RiiConnect24. I've changed my menu before, WiiModLite, wiimffi (confirmed it to be working via the dns exploit), and riivolution

that's for vwii at least

for wii u, I have something that let's me install wii apps but that's about it

even though I modded by wii for 3 years and moved to the wii u for a year, I feel like there's more stuff out there that I'm aware of

They revive the Japanese channels

Like the food channel and Kirby tv

[cobalt ice]

oh yeah, I had the wii no ma channel but it got lost in my wii to wii u transfer, I need to reinstall that

ill get my sd card and find the installer rn

Do you have any recommended Riivolution mods for the Wii? I've installed Wii Sports Storm Island but that's about it

[cobalt ice]

@craggy urchin Does the Mario Kart Competitions patcher work on vWii? My Mario Kart Wii "Channel" never transfered so I need to reinstall that.

alrighty

oh wait a minute nevermind

[craggy urchin]

If you have priiloader in aroma you can

It’s in beta stages rn

[cobalt ice]

oh really? I thought priiloader would brick your vwii

well, I'm happy to try it out

so, do I have to boot into aroma then boot into the wii channel then install priiloader normally like I did on my Wii?

[craggy urchin]

You have to get the priiloader v 0.10 beta 2 for vWii

[cobalt ice]

where can I find that? is it on wii.guide?

[craggy urchin]

Hang on lemme find it

[craggy urchin]

What region is your Wii U

[cobalt ice]

US

[craggy urchin]

https://hackmd.io/@Ingunar/PriiloaderTesting

[cobalt ice]

Should I download both the stable build and the top two additional items?

oh wait a minute, nvm, I've seen the one in the middle before

I have the forwarder in here now

What's the forwarder do in terms of the Wii U interacting with vWii?

One more question before I head to sleep, have you used this experimental version of Priiloader before?

[craggy urchin]

I haven’t used it no

But that’s because I haven’t been bothered to set up aroma yet

[craggy urchin]

Im guessing the forwarder is supposed to help you access it easier

Rather than holding escape on a keyboard you can just load priiloader with the forwarder

[cobalt ice]

I'm not on keyboard.

maybe you're thinking of wii mini?

[craggy urchin]

Since the Wii U does not have a reset button, you need to plug in a keyboard and hold escape

Or use the aroma forwarder provided

[cobalt ice]

oh I see

Yeah, I have to use that forwarder. I can't go in through vWii or I get a brick

[craggy urchin]

Your vWii is bricked?

[cobalt ice]

no

I just wanted to make sure I don't have to go through vWii or anything, like this is all in Wii U

[craggy urchin]

I mean, you can

Since priiloader is a background app, you can just boot into vWii normally after you’ve re-enabled Wiiconnect24

[cobalt ice]

i had another question, one moment, brb, have to do something

[cobalt ice]

👍

ya sorry, my mom came into my room since I got an elgato capture card (moved from living room downstairs) and I wanted tips for the setup.

anyways, I'm having issues using the plugins

it's showing as installed but not on the Wii U menu @craggy urchin

I'm trying to use that UTag

[craggy urchin]

I havent tried Utag yet

[cobalt ice]

Have you used the plugins with Aroma yet?

[craggy urchin]

I have not. I’m not that familiar with how aroma works. If you would like, you can join the Nintendo homebrew discord for further assistance https://discord.gg/C29hYvh

[cobalt ice]

Okay

I'm already in that, but I know they're helpful so I'll ask

[cobalt ice]

It just restarted my Wii U

It tried to go to the Wii, then the went black and went back to the Wii U menu

My vwii still works tho

won't let me upload a video here, sigh

oh, wait, this must be because it's a thread

oh wait a minute, nevermind, Elgato splits them up

either way, maybe there's something I need to do within the vwii

[craggy urchin]

Could be because of the size limit

[cobalt ice]

and that too

[craggy urchin]

I wish I knew how to help, but I’m just not that experienced with the Wii U

[cobalt ice]

oof, ok

ill ask on the homebrew server

im going to also look and see what I see on the homebrew channel

on the wii

Oh wait, I see. I have to use this first @craggy urchin

alright says done

so far so good

[craggy urchin]

Oh, I thought you had already done that

[cobalt ice]

nah

[craggy urchin]

💀

[cobalt ice]

but it would've made sense to look at that first

[craggy urchin]

It’s just like installing Wii priiloader

[cobalt ice]

oh

I thought it was different cause wii u

[craggy urchin]

Is the forwarder for the Wii U menu?

Or the vWii menu?

If it’s for vWii menu it will probably be a .wad file

[cobalt ice]

it sounds like for the vWii menu considering it tried to boot there

[craggy urchin]

What I mean is, does it INSTALL to the vWii menu

Or the Wii U menu

[cobalt ice]

I only had this

[craggy urchin]

Okay yeah it’s a Wii U menu forwarder for the vWii

[cobalt ice]

yeah...

what's a backmenu? @craggy urchin

[craggy urchin]

The back menu is the little animation with all the Wii channels right after exiting a game or application

[cobalt ice]

oh, I see, I remember that from my Wii now

[craggy urchin]

I recommend enabling remove deflicker, region free everything, remove nocopy save protection

[cobalt ice]

so, how does this help me with the competition patcher?

[cobalt ice]

ok, ill do that

[craggy urchin]

Is there an option that says something like “re-enable connect mii” or something like that

[cobalt ice]

this

I went to the patcher and I see this

[craggy urchin]

Yes that one

[craggy urchin]

Okay well that’s really lame

Honestly try just installing the Mario kart Wii wiimmfi patched channel

With a wad manager

[cobalt ice]

I didn't know that was a thing

oh, I see it, on the service made by Larsen that we shall not talk about

[craggy urchin]

Disclaimer: I have no idea if this will brick your vWii or not

If it does, don’t panic, you have priiloader now.

Launch hbc and uninstall it

[cobalt ice]

yeah

i'm going to install the competition tool for wii u first

[craggy urchin]

There’s a competitions patcher for Wii U?

[cobalt ice]

they say it in here

[craggy urchin]

Ah, I see

[cobalt ice]

*vWii

for some reason, elgato doesn't like it when I'm trying to use my sd card

ok im gonna try now

[cobalt ice]

I've been stuck on this for awhile. Maybe I should use the WAD

[craggy urchin]

Yeah, although you should probably notify leseratte

[cobalt ice]

oh, it just changed once you sent that message lol

also, note that I did not block out the IP, it just doesn't show

[craggy urchin]

That’s still a problem lol

https://discord.gg/ysCHQynjdr

[cobalt ice]

oh, it's saying that it has connection issues

[craggy urchin]

Oops wrong link

[cobalt ice]

alright, ill try the WAD soon, have to do something

[craggy urchin]

@cobalt ice join this discord

And report the IP issue to leseratte

[cobalt ice]

oh yeah, it looks like I did join it before

I'm in so many servers I can't keep track

I don 't see my IP on the Homebrew channel either. Trying again...

Works !!

had to load in again

[craggy urchin]

Nice

[craggy urchin]

Did you try installing the wad yet

[cobalt ice]

Why would I need to if the competitions patcher says it works?

Won't hurt but still

[craggy urchin]

I was under the impression that’s how you’re supposed to access the competitions

[cobalt ice]

oh

I can try using that

ok, used the wad, it looks like things do work
