Get Started

If your Wii is already softmodded and you would like to update the softmods, follow this guide to upgrade your setup.

All of the exploits listed here are different methods of achieving the same end-result (getting to the HackMii installer).

INFO

It is recommended to at least have an SD card on hand after the initial hack process, as this will enable you to make a NAND backup using BootMii and install many types of homebrew.
