<font size="6"><li><a name="Notes">Important Notes</a></li></font><br><ul style=align="left" type="disc">
<li>This guide does not require an internet connection on your vWii.</li>
<li>Make sure the files ModMii downloaded are on your SD Card, and your SD Card is inserted in the console.</li>
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>If you don't have an SD Card, you can still complete this guide using a Hard Drive formatted as FAT32 in place of an SD Card.</li>
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>Use ModMii's USB-Loader Setup feature if you need help formatting your HDD as FAT32.</li>
<li>Make sure to always plug your hard drive into USB port0 - the one on the back furthest from the edge of the WiiU.</li>
</ul>
<li>If you don't have an SD Card or Hard Drive, you can launch Wii\vWii apps and install WADs over the internet to your Wii from your PC. Just open apps (boot.dol\elf files) or WADs with ModMii.</li>
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>Note that some apps may not work properly or support all features if they require an SD or HDD.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<!---------------------------------WiiU NOTES BELOW----------------------------------->
<li>Check if your SD Card has a lock switch and make sure it's disabled.</li>
<li>If you get errors during any of the steps try reformatting your SD Card as FAT32.</li>
<li>If your console ever freezes, hold the power button for 5 seconds to power it off then try again.</li>
<li>During the modding process if you are prompted for your Nintendo Network ID to launch a channel or app you can select the back arrow button then "Start" to start the software anyway.</li>
<li>If you brick your vWii for any reason you should be able to recover using <a href="https://wiiu.hacks.guide/recover-vwii-ioses-channels" target="_blank">vWii Decaffeinator</a> or <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-vwii-nand-restorer.560948/" target="_blank">vWii NAND Restorer</a> so long as the WiiU menu remains operational; however, vWii NAND Restorer currently requires switching from Aroma to a legacy environment like Tiramisu. Some actions to avoid that may cause brick are listed below:</li>
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>Never uninstall a System Menu or IOS.</li>
<li>Installing a custom System Menu for vWii is a brick risk and you should always have a NAND backup before installing one; however, when done right it will not brick the vWii. vWii themes are experimental and not every MYM\theme will work properly.</li>
<li>Replacing any IOS (including TED IOSes) or WADs made for the original Wii on your vWii may semi-brick it. WiiWare wads are fine, but some need to be converted to work.</li>
</ul>
<li>When updating your softmod you should always overwrite old mods by installing new ones, do <u>not</u> try to "Delete everything" or "Start from scratch".</li>
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>To update your mods in the future you can use the ModMii Wizard as if it was your first time, or even better, update only your outdated WiiU mods using ModMii's File Cleanup and App Updater feature, or update only outdated vWii mods using ModMii's Syscheck Updater Wizard!</li>
</ul>
<li>If you accept an official Nintendo update after modding, you may lose some of your modifications and have to reinstall them.</li>
<li>It's probably unnecessary, but you should disconnect all peripherals from the console during the modding procedure unless instructed otherwise.</li>
<li>If connecting a portable hard drive to your WiiU, a Y-cable may be needed for it to draw power from two usb ports.</li>
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>The WiiU and vWii cannot use the same USB hard drive; however a single SD Card can be used for both.</li>
<li>A WiiU Formatted USB hard drive is a hard drive that has been formatted by a WiiU console to its proprietary format. A WiiU formatted USB drive cannot be read by any device other than the WiiU that originally formatted it. If you ever want to use it with another WiiU console or any other devices, you will have to reformat it.</li>
<li>The vWii cannot use a WiiU Formatted USB hard drive. It is recommended that USB Hard drives intended for use on the vWii be formatted as FAT32.</li>
<li>If a non-WiiU Formatted USB hard drive is detected while in the WiiU menu you will be prompted to format\erase it. Careful not to accidentally format your vWii Hard Drive (if applicable). <!------WiiUredundant2-->The After Modding section of this guide will direct you on how to <i>optionally</i> disable the format prompt.</li><!--WiiUredundant2------><!--WiiUredundant2--If the WiiU is softmodded with Aroma this prompt can be disabled.--WiiUredundant2-->
<li>USB hard drives configured to work on a vWii will also work on Wii and Wii Mini and vice versa.</li>
<li>Double check that your hard drive is always plugged into USB port0 - the one on the back furthest from the edge of the WiiU.</li>

<i>Priiloader loads just before the vWii System Menu and is invisible unless you hold down the ESC key on a USB connected keyboard while launching the vWii system menu. Not only is Priiloader a great form of brick protection, it can be customized to automatically boot straight to the System Menu (default behavior) with patched features (aka "System Menu Hacks"), or directly to the HBC or a user defined homebrew (e.g. a USB-Loader, <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/x-flaks-crazy-intro-videos.189411" target="_blank">Crazy Intro Videos</a>, etc). Click <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/system-hacks/priiloader" target="_blank">here</a> for directions on "Installing a file" (aka "dol" or "elf" file) in Priiloader to launch user defined homebrew. Custom forwarder dols that are compatible with Priiloader can be built from ModMii's Advanced Downloads menu. More Priiloader information can be found in its <a href="https://dacotaco.github.io/priiloader/docs/FAQ.html" target="_blank">FAQ</a>.</i><br>

<br>
<i>Pro tip! If you update or (re)install any System Menu it generally <u>REMOVES</u> Priiloader and you should reinstall it immediately to stay protected. Only YAWM ModMii Edition allows you to safely retain Priiloader while (re)installing a System Menu.</i><br>

<font size="5"><li>Install WADs</li></font><br>

<i>YAWM ModMii Edition stands for Yet Another Wad Manager ModMii Edition (aka yawmME). A WAD Manager will allow you to install "WADs" containing things like updates and other content for your console, like IOSs, custom IOSs (or cIOSs), or other downloadable content, which can be all packed into WADs and installed to your console. Think of a WAD like a zip file but for the Wii.</i><br>
<br>
WARNINGS: Do not unplug the console when installing WADs. WADs can also be <u>un</u>installed, and if you're not careful you can brick your console by uninstalling or even installing the wrong WAD. The WAD Manager you're using, YAWM ModMii Edition, has some extra brick protection built in to restrict someone from doing catastrophic things like uninstalling any System Menu WAD, or required System Menu IOS, or a dozen other things which could potentially result in a brick if you don't know what you're doing. Stick to your ModMii guide and you'll be fine.<br>

<i>Fun Fact! I mentioned IOSs and cIOSs before, "the Wii console uses the 'IOS' system to communicate with the hardware, it's like a driver (compared to Windows). It contains information and communication tools (like how to access the Disc drive, how to access USB, read the savegames data stored on internal memory, etc.)" ~Cyan.

<li>To play Wii (and Gamecube) games off a USB hard drive, run the USB-Loader Setup wizard from ModMii's Main Menu.
<li>Optionally use <a href="https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/UStealth_Wii_U" target="_blank">UStealth for Windows</a> (also available on ModMii's Download Page 5) or the homebrew app <a href="https://oscwii.org/library/app/USB_Toggle" target="_blank">USB Toggle 2.0</a> to hide USB hard drives so that the WiiU no longer asks you to Format them. The disk is then also hidden from Windows. If you want to copy something onto it later you have to first make your device visible again using either of the same tools. Of course you should not format it if Windows asks you to!
<li>At any point you can run SysCheck on your vWii to get a sysCheck.csv log of your installed softmods; in the future you can check if any of your vWii mods are outdated by opening your log with the latest version of ModMii.
<li>Download the latest Wii Homebrew apps to your SD Card or FAT32 USB Hard Drive so they can be launched via the HBC or forwarder channels.
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>Download some Wii related PC tools or Just for Fun Wii apps like emulators or cheat codes from ModMii Classic's Download Pages.
<li>Grab the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231213215727/wii.guide/hbb" target="_blank">Homebrew Browser</a> or the <a href="https://github.com/dhtdht020/osc-dl/releases/latest" target="_blank">Open Shop Channel for Windows</a> from ModMii or the provided links to easily download many other popular apps right from your vWii or PC!</li>
<li>Some other great libraries of Homebrew applications can be found at <a href="https://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_all_homebrew" target="_blank">wiibrew.org</a>, <a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwiidatabase.de%2Fdownloads%2F" target="_blank">wiidatabase.de</a>, <a href="https://oscwii.org/library" target="_blank">oscwii.org</a> and of course <a href="https://gbatemp.net/forums/nintendo-wii.105/" target="_blank">gbatemp</a>.
<ul style=align="left" type="disc">
<li>To manually "install" apps, download your homebrew and you should find a boot.dol (or boot.elf) file and possibly an icon.png and meta.xml.
<li>For the HBC to read your SD/USB correctly, your card must be structured SD+USB:/apps/application name/boot.dol\elf
<li>Some apps require a meta.xml be saved in the same place as the boot.dol\elf to work properly (icon.png is always optional).
<li>If you have a dol or elf file not named "boot", rename it boot.dol\elf, otherwise it will not be recognized by the HBC (not required if using Priiloader to install a file).
</ul>
</ul>
<li>Check out some of my custom <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/x-flaks-top-wii-channels.205622/" target="_blank">Wii Forwarder Channels</a> to launch your favourite Wii homebrew straight from the vWii System Menu. Note that some channels may not yet be updated for vWii; simply open them using ModMii to edit the NandLoader to make them vWii compatible.
<li>Get a new <a href="https://wii.hacks.guide/themes.html" target="_blank">theme for your vWii Menu</a>! Confirm you have Priiloader installed before installing themes, then open mym themes\files using ModMii or ThemeMii Mod to convert them to csm files for your specific system menu version. Or check out the huge library of themes available at <a href="https://www.wiithemer.org" target="_blank">www.wiithemer.org</a>, a website that also converts MYMs to CSMs for you on the fly. CSM files can then be installed to your Wii using csm-installer. ThemeMii Mod and csm-installer are both available on ModMii Classic's Download Pages.
<li>"Expand" your vWii's internal memory for more WiiWare and Virtual Console games by having it load the System Menu from external storage instead. Use ModMii's Emulated NAND builder to get started.
<ul style=align="left" type="square">
<li>You can also use your vWii's nand.bin or slccmpt.bin backup as an Emulated NAND. To extract the files from a nand.bin or slccmpt.bin to use as an Emulated NAND, simply open the file using ModMii. If ModMii prompts you to share keys to repair the nand provide it with your keys.bin or opt.bin backup.
<li>Alternatively, you can dump your vWii's NAND to use as an Emulated NAND using USB Loader GX's features menu.
</ul>
<li>Install <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-fakemote-an-ios-module-that-fakes-wiimotes-from-the-input-of-usb-game-controllers.601771" target="_blank">Fakemote</a> to an unused IOS slot like 247 to add support for DS3 and DS4 controllers. This can also be done using ModMii Classic's Advanced Downloads Menu by choosing the latest FM (Fakemote) version of d2x in ModMii's options.
<li>Check out some <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/x-flaks-crazy-intro-videos.189411" target="_blank">Crazy Intro Videos</a> to customize how your vWii starts up (SD Card required).
<li>Bring back WiiConnect24 to your vWii! The WiiLink Patcher restores functionality to Wii Mail and various Nintendo Channels such as Forecast, News, Everybody Votes, Nintendo, Check Mii Out, and more! You can get this tool from from ModMii Classic's Download Page 5.
<li>Check out <a href="https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/RiiTag" target="_blank">RiiTag\LinkTag</a>: a customizable and dynamic gamertag to automatically update your Discord status with what you've been playing on your vWii.
<li><a href="https://github.com/Naim2000/system-channel-restorer" target="_blank">System Channel Restorer</a> from ModMii Classic's Download Page 2 can be used to re-install missing/removed system apps, e.g. Mii Channel, Photo Channel, EULA, etc. However, these three examples in particular will have already been installed as part of this guide.
<li><a href="https://github.com/Naim2000/csm-installer/releases" target="_blank">csm-installer</a> and <a href="https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/ww-43db-patcher" target="_blank">ww-43db-patcher</a> from ModMii Classic's Download Page 2 can be used to patch the WiiWare 4:3 aspect ratio database (43DB) to enable a 16:9 aspect ratio in Everybody Votes Channel and Check Mii Out Channels. However, if you installed any vWii theme built using ModMii (even the Default theme) this patch has already been applied.

<font size="6"><li><a name="Credits">Credits, Supporting Apps, and Sources</a></li></font><br>
ModMii was written entirely by yours truly, XFlak. Trust me, no one else is crazy enough to try to maintain a batch file that has grown so large and 'all over the place'. But without the help of many other very talented people ModMii would not exist. Some people have contributed supporting files or programs, others have shared their knowledge, some have provided ideas and others have given their time.<br>
<br>
I have tried my best to recognize everyone's contribution to ModMii regardless of how big or small it is. If I've forgotten someone, please notify me and I'll add them to the credits as quickly as possible.<br><br>

<ul style=align="left" type="disc">
<li><font size="4"><b>Team Twiizers</b></font><br>
Thanks to Team Twiizers for creating the revolutionary HackMii Installer. Without their hard work, the Wii might never have been unlocked. Many Team Twiizer Members went on to join Team Fail Overflow; a team that played a vital role in unlocking the PS3.<br><br>
I especially want to thank Bushing (may he rest in peace), who before his untimely passing gave ModMii his blessing to download and use the HackMii Installer.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Giantpune</font></b><br>
Giantpune is a legend in the Wii Scene and I consider him to be a good friend of mine. He created many exploits, including the Smash Stack exploit for PAL and KOR Wii's (which is maybe still the only method to fix 003 bricked Wii's), the Channel Forwarder dol, USB Loader GX, and many other computer programs to repair or virginize Wii's.<br><br>
He's contributed code to more projects than I even know about, so its impossible for me to truly convey his impact on the scene. He even took the time to explain a few things to me about cIOSs when ModMii was in its early stages and still known as NUS Auto Downloader.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">DeadlyFoez</font></b><br>
DeadlyFoez is legendary for his Wii Repairs and infectus tutorial. He also played a key role in the ModMii v5.0.0 update not only by helping come up with the idea for using html guides but also creating the template for ModMii's custom html guides and recording almost all of the videos and images they use. Within 1.5 weeks since our initial conversation we were able to collaborate and bring the idea to life in time to release it for Christmas. Working with him on this was a truly rewarding and fun experience. DeadlyFoez also single-handedly built the first official ModMii website.<br><br>
What can I say about THE "DeadlyFoez" on a personal level. He's always getting me into trouble but his friendship is worth every fiasco! It's unreal how he became one of my best friends. Just goes to show you not everyone you meet online is totally crazy; in his case... just a little crazy. But seriously, thanks to DeadlyFoez for always being there for me to bounce ModMii ideas off of, for hosting our Team Your Mom meetings and for introducing me to his awesome family and friends. There's no one else I'd rather geek out with and I'll always have your back.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Violator</font></b><br>
He's my bro, my cuz, my best man and the reason I ever bought or modded a Wii. "XFlak" would have died many years ago if not for him. Thanks Violator, for getting me interested in this stuff, and for all the awesome music you recorded for ModMii and my <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/x-flaks-top-wii-channels.205622/" target="_blank">Top Wii Channels</a>.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">JoostinOnline</font></b><br>
Thanks for his work developing KoreanKii (with tueidj), Syscheck HD Edition, sharing his webhosting space with me, and for all his jokes; I'll never get tired of our endless patriotic "debates".</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Crediar, Daco Taco and Phpgeek</font></b><br>
The above people all had a hand in creating Priiloader. This was another revolutionary tool mainly because it was the first to offer some level of protection to newer Wii's that were unable to install Bootmii at boot2. Crediar developed the original preloader as well as s/uneek, Nintendont, NMM, DML, etc. Special thanks to Daco Taco for being the last man standing in terms of actively improving/maintaining Priiloader, not to mention developing OpenDolBoot and just generally being very helpful and knowledgeable.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">NinjaCheetah</font></b><br>
Thanks for his work on libWiiPy, WiiPy, NUSGet and more! It was a pleasure working with him to test his tools and he was always very open to feedback and feature requests.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Comex</font></b><br>
In addition to being a member of Team Twiizers and contributing to the HackMii Installer, Comex created the heavily utilized bannerbomb exploit. This exploit is what allows Wii's on firmwares 3.0-4.2 to be softmodded with only an SD Card instead of needing one of a few specific Wii Games.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Maschell and GaryOderNichts</font></b><br>
Thanks for being absolute legends in the WiiU and vWii scene!<br><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Waninkoko</font></b><br>
Waninkoko was the first to publicly release a cIOS and other excellent apps like WAD manager, Save Game Manager, USB loader, etc. I also want to thank him for giving ModMii permission to recreate his cIOSs in WAD form.<br><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Hermes and Rodries</font></b><br>
Hermes is well known for his cIOS 222/223/224 and for his usbloader "uloader". For a time his cIOSs were the only ones to work with RockBand type games and they are still highly utilized today. Thanks to Rodries for improving upon Hermes v5.1 cIOSs.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">davebaol, blackb0x, XFlak and xabby</font></b><br>
These developers worked together to modify Waninkoko's rev21 cIOS and created a new "d2x" cIOS. This cIOS is currently considered the ultimate cIOS because it corrected many bugs and added features that were previously thought to be impossible (ie. Support for IOS Reloading Games). WiiPower was also heavily influential in achieving IOS Reload Support.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Fullmetal5</font></b><br>
Thanks for his work developing the str2hax and bluebomb exploits.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">WiiGator</font></b><br>
WiiGator created a cMIOS and Gamecube Backup Launcher. Any GameCube fans owe a big thank you to WiiGator for his work.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">cwstjdenobs</font></b><br>
cwstjdenobs is one of the few people I've encountered in the Wii scene that I would love to treat to a beer. He was always very supportive of me and encouraged me to ask him as many questions as I'd like. He is probably most well known for YAWMM (Yet Another Wad Manager Mod) which was the first Wad Manager to add brick protection by restricting users from making silly mistakes like uninstalling or stubbing a crucial file. He's also made and modified apps specifically for ModMii. For example, he modified WadMii so it doesn't timestamp WADs and he also made a setting.txt builder for ModMii's NAND builder.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Leathl</font></b><br>
Leathl is another awesome developer who supported me before I became well known by expanding upon his apps to further support ModMii. Leathl has created many Wii apps including ShowMiiWads, CustomizeMii, libWiiSharp, patchios, nusfilegrabber, etc. Despite his recent inactivity, his apps are still highly used today... just goes to show you that quality work never gets old. I also want to thank RetroHead for his Mod of ShowMiiWads which ModMii uses to build emulated nands without requiring any input from the user. libWiiSharp.dll is based on wii.py, the wii.py devs are Megazig, Omega, Xuzz, SquidMan, Matt_P and The Lemon Man. Also thanks to Daeken for writing Struct.py and marcan for his LZ77 code.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">scooby74029</font></b><br>
scooby74029's most well known for sneeky compiler, which is able to build multiple different versions of s\uneek. ModMii will always construct the latest version of s\uneek available on his sneeky compiler google code webpage. This means he has total control over what version of s\uneek ModMii will construct. He also created modifications of Leathl's libWiiSharp.dll and patchios.exe to further support ModMii. Additionally, he's modified other apps like Any Region Changer ModMii Edition, JoyFlow, JoyLoader GX, JoyLoader CFG, etc. On top of all that, he's an all around awesome person and I'm proud to be on his friends list.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">person66</font></b><br>
person66 has had a hand in many projects, but most noteworthy are his sharpii cmd line tool and his Universal Forwarder Creator. He also wrote the intial version of an autoit script that is used to launch ModMii with an icon, arguments and other useful functions.<br><br>
Thanks for trading little bits of batch coding knowledge with me. It's great having a fellow batch coder for a friend; we are a dying breed, so keep up the great work with Universal Forwarder Creator and all your other projects.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">WiiPower and shoutplenty</font></b><br>
WiiPower created Neogamma which is hands down the best backup disc loader for the Wii. He also contributed code to many other popular usb-loaders and had a hand in adding IOS Reloading support to the d2x cIOSs. Furthermore he also modified WiiGators cMIOS, which was later further modded by shoutplenty to include Swiss, and is considered the ultimate cMIOS today.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">OverjoY and obcd</font></b><br>
OverjoY created JoyFlow, a modification of WiiFlow that runs on s\uneek. He then teamed up with obcd to accomplish some seriously amazing things, like building their mod of s\uneek, NEEK2O, that allows it to load games in wbfs format and select from multiple emulated NANDs.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Maeson and NoobletCheese</font></b><br>
Thanks for researching video filters in such detail to get Deflicker video filter mods working just right!</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">CrafterPika</font></b><br>
Thanks for developing and hosting an updated server to save SysCheck report uploads.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Arikado and the Dop-Mii Team</font></b><br>
They created Dop-Mii; a lot of apps borrow code from Dop-Mii, so even if you have never used Dop-Mii but used MMM or WiiMod then you owe a thank you to these people.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">DarkMatterCore</font></b><br>
For his work on wad2bin, Yet Another BlueDump MOD, ww-43db-patcher and for being a part of ModMii's development and testing discord.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">WiiWu</font></b><br>
He made Multi-Mod Manager (MMM) which has the functions of many different Wii modding tools all in one user friendly app.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">WB3000 and WiiNinja</font></b><br>
Thanks to WB3000 for creating NUS Downloader and to WiiNinja for making a cmd line version of NUS Downloader. NUS Downloader was one of ModMii's vital supporting apps.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">TheShadowEevee</font></b><br>
TheShadowEevee helped update many tools with a new NUS endpoint. He also helped implement some fixes and improvements to Any Region Changer ModMii Edition.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">WiiCrazy</font></b><br>
WiiCrazy is most famous for "Wii Game Shortcut Creator" (formerly known as "Crap"), Crazy Intro and Crazy Intro Video. He also contributed to usb-loaders by bypassing some game specific security. WiiCrazy is another person who's always been willing to do everything in his power to help me, or anyone else for that matter.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">oggzee, usptactical, gannon and Dr.Clipper</font></b><br>
Together the above people compose the Configurable USB Loader Team. Back in the day, this usb-loader was always the first to add new features and in my opinion it's one of the top three best usb-loader out there.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Cyan, dimok, blackb0x and the USBLoaderGX team</font></b><br>
Thanks for their work on USBLoaderGX. It is one of the most feature-rich usb-loaders and has quickly become a favourite among the community. I also want to thank Cyan specifically for his excellent support of users on gbatemp for many years; he has probably explained what an IOS is more times than I can count!</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">OverjoY, blackb0x, Peter0x44, scooby74029 and thepikachugamer</font></b><br>
This dream team of developers brought my vision to life when they created YAWM ModMii Edition.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Hibernatus, Fledge68 and the WiiFlow team</font></b><br>
Thanks for their work on WiiFlow. It was always beautiful, but now it's got all sorts of bells and whistles, you should check it out.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Wiimm</font></b><br>
Thanks to Wiimm for creating Wiimmfi and Wiimms ISO Tools, including wit.exe which ModMii uses to convert Wii Games to s/uneek format, build forwarder ISOs and enabled\disable Deflicker video filters.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Leseratte</font></b><br>
For his work on Wiimmfi, as well as d2xl and other amazing projects.</li><br>

The Wii Theme Team has created some of the best Wii Themes ever made! All of the alternative themes available in ModMii were created by them. I want to thank diddy81 in particular for working with me to ensure that all his themes worked perfectly for all regions.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">FIX94, Narolez and the WiiXplorer Team</font></b><br>
Thanks to all these people for their contributions in making the best SD/USB forwarder. I want to thank FIX94 in particular who not only worked on Nintendont, Some YAWMM Mod, WiiFlow and literally every other big Wii application, but he also spent a lot of time testing ModMii's Forwarder Builder.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">jskyboo</font></b><br>
Thanks to jskyboo for creating WiiMod. His app can do a lot of different things, and it was the first ahbprot enabled WAD Manager to incorporate davebaol's ahbprot bugfix.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">ModMii's Translators</font></b><br>
Tranlating ModMii is an enormous amount of work. It's very challenging to get special characters to display correctly in a cmd window, not to mention keeping everything formatted properly. But probably the most difficult part of translating ModMii is keeping up with the updates. If you use a translated version of ModMii, I encourage you to thank your translator because it truly is a LOT of work to do.<br><br>
French Translators: <b>mamule, xav91 and ketufe</b><br>
Dutch Translator: <b>Hielkenator</b><br>
Italian Translators: <b>Wasabi, Step and Robilyn</b><br>
Spanish Translators: <b>ledebene and Burton</b><br>
Korean Translator: <b>DDinghoya</b></li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Fig2k4</font></b><br>
Thanks Fig2k4 for WiiBackupManager. It was a pleasure beta testing it for you and sharing my ideas with you. I hope to see you around the forums again and that you continue working on your amazing program.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Gabubu, sthetix, Foxlet, Alexander1970, Vila and Aep</font></b><br>
Thanks for recording, editing or upscaling many of the Youtube videos used by ModMii. Special thanks to Gabubu who single-handedly created all the new\updated videos in the 7.0.0 update, and also updated GFX for a bunch of ModMii's Wii channels.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">WiiShizzza, pepxl, RobGee789, M3RK, AuroraNemoia and emilydaemon</font></b><br>
Thanks to WiiShizzza for creating ModMii's new icon and to pepxl for creating ModMii's original icon. I want to thank everyone who created a ModMii icon and submitted it into <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-modmii-icon-logo-candidates.296772/" target="_blank">ModMii's new icon competition</a>.<br><br>
RobGee789 and M3RK made ModMii Skin's original graphics. AuroraNemoia made ModMii Skin's new (2022) <a href="https://github.com/modmii/modmii.github.io/tree/master/Support/Skins/Default" target="_blank">default\Nebula theme</a>. It was a pleasure working with them, they were all very open to feedback and willing to "go back to the drawing board", so to speak, as many times as it took to get it perfect. Thanks guys!<br><br>
emilydaemon made <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modmii/modmii.github.io/refs/heads/master/Support/Skins/Default/splash.png" target="_blank">ModMii's WiiU\Aroma splash screen</a> as well as maintains the <a href="https://wilbrand.donut.eu.org" target="_blank">Wilbrand Web website</a>.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">dhtdht020, Gabubu, Artuto and the Open Shop Channel team</font></b><br>
Thanks for maintaining oscwii.org! Special thanks to dhtdht020 for refreshing the ModMii icons in 2022; now I have a rainbow of icons to choose from should the need arise.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">vgmoose, pwsincd, Nightkingale, Gabubu and the Homebrew App Store team</font></b><br>
Thanks for maintaining hb-app.store and all the other projects you've contributed to!</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">My Fellow Guide Writers</font></b><br>
Thanks to tj_cool, xzxero, burritoboy9984, ChokeD, mauifrog, playerjmr, Ingunar and the Wii\WiiU hacks guide team for their awesome guides. I especially want to thank tj_cool and xzxero for inviting me to join "The Crew" at the Complete Softmod Guide. I'll never forget how great it felt to be relatively new to the scene and to be invited to join you all as equals.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Wii.Hacks.Guide and WiiLink\RiiConnect24 teams</font></b><br>
Thanks in particular go out to Peter0x44, Larsenv and KcrPL. Brainstorming and collaborating with you guys made the 2020 lockdowns feel somewhat bearable. Special thanks to Peter0x44 for helping me set up the ModMii discord server to a much higher standard than I could have ever hoped to do on my own.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">DaMysteryMan</font></b><br>
Thanks for helping me understand the structure of a cIOS so I could better recreate it in WAD form. For those of you who don't know him, DaMysteryMan is most well known for his ever controversial app - DarkCorp (formerly known as cIOSCorp).</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Gannon</font></b><br>
Thanks to Gannon for bootopera, which I was able to mod to create the URL loader base dol.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">Devnol</font></b><br>
Thanks to Devnol for properly modifying the Open HBC to use the same title ID as the official HBC (LULZ).</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">ca032769 and Al_Touriste</font></b><br>
Thanks for their tutorials on how to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">All My Beta Testers!</font></b><br>
It's because of you guys that ModMii is as stable as it is. Considering that ModMii is developed entirely in notepad without any kind of debugger or developer tools; it's pretty remarkable that ModMii has always been bug-free (albeit with a couple minor exceptions). Thanks for your never-ending devotion to quality control!<br>
Here's a list of some of ModMii's beta testers (in no particular order): scooby74029, DeadlyFoez, redia, Etheboss, JoostinOnline, person66, brausm08, geovalley, undeadsquirrel, mauifrog, FIX94, wolf, Larsenv, Peter0x44, Alexander1970, Cyan, Damaj301damaj, Function, forseenink, jeannotte, saulfabreg, Vila, ca032769, godreborn, KleinesSinchen, RunningSnakes, Scooty, bibarub, Aep, Isla, beta215, Binsky, CoolMe, forseenink, Maeson, grandosegood, and last but certainly not least, Denver Gamer and Clutz450. @Clutz450 and Denver Gamer, you guys rock, I really enjoyed discussing your ModMii tutorial videos and your ideas on the little ways ModMii could be made even better.</li><br>
<li><b><font size="4">You!</font></b><br>
Without you, there would be no reason for ModMii to exist. Thanks for using ModMii for all your Wii\WiiU softmodding needs!</li>

ModMii started out as a small side-project back in 2010 as a simple NUS Auto Downloader script, and now the changelog is taller than me! I started this project in my 20s in my spare time and since then I've gotten married and had not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR boys, all ~2 years apart. I love being able to share my love for gaming and for the Wii with them, and with all of you! This is a passion project that has easily taken over 9000-10000 hours of just my time alone, and that's not counting all the hours spent from the legions of devs and testers who've supported ModMii over the years.<br>
<br>
Not knowing that much about computers other than some excel tricks, I slowly built more advanced features on top of my original less efficient code that I'd love to rewrite if it wasn't such a daunting task. Throughout the journey I learned a lot from not just those in the credits list, but the incredibly supportive Wii community as a whole. I've gone from just being a "numbers guy" to my family's go to "tech guy", and I have this project, community and followers to thank for it.<br>
<br>
ModMii is entirely free to use and ad free. Donations can optionally be made to the author using the button below, or pick your favourite contributor from the credits and check if they have a donations page.<br>
