HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012


Looking forward to 2012,
We Brew Wii wishes everyone a Happy New Year!

ModMii 5.0.0

by X-Flak, wiiNinja, WB3000, Leathl
ModMii, formerly known as NUS Auto-Downloader, is able to download all the files needed to modify ANY Wii (4.3U/E/J/K and Below); it can generate custom guides based on your Wii's specifications, and save the files to your SD Card in their appropriate locations for easy offline softmodding.

Literally run the program once, let it download,
and you have all the files you need on your SD card to modify your Wii

FEATURES
========
•It can download all the files necessary to Modify, Upgrade & Downgrade your Wii System Menu.
•Download individual IOS/cIOS files, Official Wii Channels, System Menus, Multi Mod Manager, YAWMM, Dop-Mii, both versions of Bannerbomb, Hackmii Installer etc.
•Install patched IOSs without an wifi connection on your Wii
•This includes an easy to follow Custom guide to setting up a USB-Loader (including how to format/partition your external hard drive)
•Install SNEEK, build emulated NANDs, and Batch Extract Wii\Gamcube Games for use with SNEEK+DI or UNEEK+DI
•Customize Bootmii, Wad Manager and MMM start-up settings using ModMii Configurators to create a custom config files
•This is also capable of building many different System Menu Themes (csm's and themed SM Wads) using the appropriate 000000**.app for your system menu (also applies to emulated NANDs)
•Provides solutions for the upside-down homebrew channel and the HackMii installer No Vulnerable IOS problems
•Advanced Custom Downloads Feature will allow you to easily patch and change the slot/version of IOSs/cIOSs. It can also build 3 different types of forwarder dol's and iso's (only use this feature if you know what you are doing!!)

CHANGELOG
=============

5.0.0 Changelog
---------------
•ModMii's generated guides are no longer text files;
instead they are custom html files viewable in your internet browser.
Although none of the softmodding steps actually changed, the guides were
rebuilt from the ground up. They now include images, videos, credits,
a print button and more.
DeadlyFoez played a key role in this update not only by helping come up
with the idea but also creating the template for ModMii's custom 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 together on this
was a truly rewarding and fun experience for both of us and we hope it brings
a little "Team Your Mom" XMAS cheer to you this year.
•When accessing the credits from the main menu using "CR" it will open a new
browser tab instead of displaying the credits in the main ModMii Window.
•ModMii Wizard Guides for already modified Wii's to update the HBC or Bootmii
no longer include exploits. Instead, if users cannot load the hackmii installer
from the HBC, BootMii or a forwarder channel they are instructed to use
ModMii's HackMii Solutions Guide instead.
•Added videos to the ModMii Wizard to help users determine their system menu
version and Homebrew channel version.
•When ModMii opens the Letterbomb webpage it also opens a separate panel with
an instructional video on finding your MAC address and downloading Letterbomb.
•Changed how System Menu Theme youtube videos are previewed.
•Added drag and drop support for ModMii's sysCheck Updater. Now when users drag
and drop their sysCheck logs onto ModMii.exe (or shortcut) ModMii will
immediately analyze the log and display a list of required downloads in order
to update the softmod.
•Fixed d2x cIOS v7-final detection when using ModMii's sysCheck Updater feature.
•Relaxed serial number length restrictions in emulated NAND builder so US users
can use their real serial even if it's only 11 digits when building non-US NANDs.
•Updated md5 for re-uploaded nSwitch channel (v4.8.2.1 partial update).
•ModMii: Now so sexy you'll need a fresh pair of pants.
•Other minor changes.

Gambol v0.2

by ThatOtherPerson
ThatOtherPerson's Notes
=======================
This is a Wii port of my PS3 platformer Gambol.

The gameplay is (currently) 2D but it has 3D graphics and I expect I will probably add movement on the Z axis in a future update. The art assets are all placeholder. This will NOT be a Mario clone by the time I’m done with it. The character model used for the player was made by Bubles Studio.

Goodbye World v1.1

by ThatOtherPerson
ThatOtherPerson's Notes
=======================
Goodbye World is a simple non game test tech demo thing that I made for PS3 to familiarize myself with PSL1GHT (it was the first thing I made with PSL1GHT). This is a Wii port of it. It supports the nunchuck analog stick but you can also control the ship using the wiimote’s directional pad.

Three Point O v1.1 & Cubicle Shooter v0.3 & Gravity Glide v1.2

by ThatOtherPerson


ThatOtherPerson's Notes
=======================
Here are updated builds of three seemingly randomly selected pieces of homebrew that I had made for Wii. Three Point O has been significantly overhauled and no longer becomes distorted when you look up or down. Cubicle Shooter and Gravity Glide are more minor updates. I’ve fixed a problem with shooting well looking up or down and aiming away from the center of the screen in Cubicle Shooter. In Gravity Glide the background music now plays more correctly.

Three Point O v1.1
Cubicle Shooter v0.3
Gravity Glide v1.2

It was my plan to organize (most of them are scattered around in different places) and fix up (a lot of them currently won’t compile properly for a verity of reasons) everything I had previously released for Wii and then release new versions of all of them along with the source code (like I did recently with my PS3 stuff) by the end of December. But Laziness and the holidays kept me from being productive and then more time was wasted because IMG_Load had inexplicably stopped working for me on Wii (I eventually gave up trying to figure out why and was able to put together a suitable alternative with the help of the always awesome LodePNG). It is still something I want to do but with only two days remaining (and approximately 40 programs) that obviously isn’t going to happen in the time frame I had originally hoped for.

cIOSX rev21d2x v7

by davebaol, xabby666, and XFlak.
This is a Custom IOS, an IOS modified to add some new features
not available in the official IOS.

This IOS has been made to be used ONLY with homebrew software.

The d2x cIOS is an enhanced version of the cIOSX rev21 by Waninkoko. To see what's new read the file Changelog.txt or visit the d2x google code project: http://code.google.com/p/d2x-cios

CHANGELOG
=========
[ d2x v7 ]

- Refactored all modules and plugins in order to achieve code reuse through
a new common library.
- Updated ciosmaps.xml to include the IRQ4 patch required by the new
experimental EHCI module (not released yet).
- Used a more proper offset to detect DL games like Sakura Wars.
- Disabled nand emulation before returning to system menu or channel.
- Improved error 002 fix after ios reload block. Now Wii Fit Plus channel
installation works properly.
- Fixed missing identification and patch for base IOS60-v6174 in ES plugin.
- Added auto detection of the first FAT partition on the device when nand
emulation is activated without specifying any partition.
- FAT Module moved a bit forward in memory in order to create the space
required by the new experimental EHCI module (not released yet).
- Fixed a bug when closing FAT module.
- Fixed an alignement issue on file renaming in FFS plugin.
- Removed support for base IOSs with old version like IOS38 v3610.
- Added ios reload block capability for nand emulation.
- Removed FAT ISO loading support from DIP plugin (never used by any loader
and completely useless now thanks to fraglist capability added in v6).
- Fixed a memory alignement issue that could break ios reload block.
- Added bidirectional escape for invalid FAT characters in nand emulation.
- Now FAT_GetUsage returns fake values for WiiWare/VirtualConsole and real
values taken from FAT for disc-based Wii games. This workaround has proven
to improve nand emulation compatibility.
- Added a thread to make the drive led blink when writing to FAT.
- Added nand emulation mode rev17-like (experimental).
- Fixed COD MW3 online update on full nand emulation. More generally this fix
should improve compatibility with DLC installation on emulated nand also for
games like COD Black Ops, Rock Band 3 and Guitar Hero 5.
- Now the tree /import is emulated in partial mode too. This way COD MW3 online
update and DLC installation work properly in partial emulation.
- Added a hack that allows No More Heroes 2 to create the save file in nand
emulation mode (tnx to Sneek source).
- Minor changes and code clean up.

•Advanced Custom Downloads Feature will allow you to easily patch and change the slot/version of IOSs/cIOSs. It can also build 3 different types of forwarder dol's and iso's (only use this feature if you know what you are doing!!)

CHANGELOG
=============

4.8.2 Changelog
---------------
•Synced ModMii's internal version of d2x v7-final with the revised v7-final
on the google code page. No major changes, just "Tagged as d2x-v7".
•I think he is a she, and she is changelog.

4.8.1 Changelog
---------------
•Added a lot more info to NAND\nandinfo.txt when building\modifying emulated
NANDs. Also, now after building\modifying emulated NANDs ModMii will open
nandinfo.txt using notepad.
•Updated nswitch channel to v1.0 - old versions will be detected and updated
by ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier. With this version of the channel installed
it is possible to launch UNEEK and UNEEK+DI without an SD Card.
•Updated Priiloader v0.4 to v0.7 neek2o mod in ModMii's emulated NAND
builder\Modifier. This version of Priiloader will not freeze when installed
to emulated NANDs.
•Updated Priiloader Hacks (Download Page 2) to include both hacks.ini and
hacks_hash.ini. Both files are copied to emulated NANDs when installing
Priiloader.
•Enhanced ModMii's Emulated NAND Modifier region\firmware detection by having
it read from NAND\content\title.tmd. As a result the Emulated NAND modifier
is now able to install\remove Priiloader to\from all firmwares (instead of
just 4.1-4.3). However, system menu theme installations are still limited
to 4.1-4.3.
•Replaced the Homebrew Filter Channel with Postloader when building emulated
NANDs. There are now two Postloader downloads on ModMii's Download Page 2,
a forwarder channel and an autoupdating download for the app itself.
•Changed default NAND folder naming when building new emulated NANDs so that
they are also compatible with Postloader. Instead of /nands/nand# now they
will be named /nands/pl_eu for euro/pal NANDs, /nands/pl_us for USA NANDs,
/nands/pl_jp for JAP NANDs and /nands/pl_kr for Korean NANDS.
•Users are once again asked to provide a serial number when building emulated
NANDs instead of always using the default serial number. This change was
reversed after discovering that if on the first boot of an emulated NAND the
serial number is not the same as the real NAND it MAY prevent establishing
an internet connection.
•d2x cIOSs updated from v6 to v7. The d2x v7 final changelog can be found here:
http://code.google.c...a/Changelog.txt
Thanks davebaol for all your hard work on this!
•Enhanced d2x beta support. Now when accessing the d2x beta menu it will list
all the d2x versions hosted on the d2x-google code page as well as identify
which are featured at that point in time. These are listed in addition to any
'offline' beta d2x cIOSs you may have manually saved to ModMii's
Support\More-cIOSs\ folder.
•Added d2x-beta-md5-updater.bat to ModMii's Support folder. This will mainly
be used by davebaol to facilitate his construction of d2x beta zip archives
that are compatible with both ModMii and the d2x cIOS Installer. With this
change all future d2x beta cIOSs will be released simultaneously for both
installation methods. On a personal note, it was a pleasure collaborating
with davebaol on this.
•Reverted back to using MMM, IOS236 Installer and Priiloader v0.7 (236 Mod)
instead of WiiMod (with ahbprot) and Priiloader v0.7 (with davebaol's
ahbprot bug-fix). This was due to WiiMod harmlessly failing to load in
certain uncommon situations. I have prepared an alternate version of
ModMii v4.8.1 that still uses WiiMod so anyone interested in helping jskyboo
beta test WiiMod please get in touch with jskyboo or myself. WiiMod is still
available for download on ModMii's Download Page 2.
•Updated Wii Backup Manager to Wii Backup Manager 0.4.5 build 78.
•Fixed bug where an older version of SaveGame Manager GX was being downloaded
instead of the latest version (this was due to a change in how the files were
being hosted on its google code page).
•Adjustments made to Syscheck Updater to support additional acceptable SysCheck
logs (i.e. MIOS v10, cIOS222 and cIOS223). It will now also check if d2x-beta
cIOSs are installed when a d2x beta cIOS is activated (instead of always
checking for the d2x version included with ModMii).
•Some optimizations when running ModMii in command line mode. Added a command
to install an extra folder of WADs to an emulated nand. I don't think anyone
is using this feature anyways so this isn't big news.
•Celebrities may walk on the red carpet, but ModMii walks on toilet paper
because it's the SH*T!
•Other minor changes
