The very first working test of BootMii. BootMii takes over the boot process of the Wii and lets you run almost anything (even security code, a backup/restore utility, you name it) from an SD card, before most of the system even starts booting. It is a huge step towards "brickproofing" a Wii, as it will still work even if you thoroughly screw up your filesystem. You could even format it entirely and it would still work.

"Here I'm testing it with a small program that modifies the boot code (boot2) to boot into the Homebrew Channel instead of the normal system menu. Pop the SD card in, the Wii boots to HBC. Take it out, it reverts to normal boot. Real handy for coders."

We need your help. The cost to maintain the site is rising, and we are also trying to acquire new products for reviews. If you could help us out with a small donation of any amount it would be greatly appreciated. As soon as I receive a few donations I will open a new "Donators" page listing everyone who's made donation and we'll also be doing "grab bags"for random donators. Also, if you have any products or items to donate that we could use or review please send me an email at cmr@modawii.com.

Here is our latest installation video for XCM's Hot Rock Case for the Nintendo Wii console. This case has a temperature sensor that adjusts the case LEDs as the temperature rises.

 

Check out our review of the XCM Bestilt 360 Controller Mod Kit.

 

We recently made an installation video for XCM's Bestilt 360 addon for the Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller. This is a very cool device that adds tilt-sensing functionality to the 360, much like that of the PS3 and Wii.

You might have noticed that Nintendo wants you to update to a new firmware version today. With the 3.2 update you might notice a slight performance gain throughout the Wii dashboard if any, but that's about it. The update has been reported safe to those with mods, and the twilight loader is also still working.

I took it upon myself to play around a little bit with the Twilight Loader released recently. I decided to write my own simple program that runs in Full Wii Hardware Mode. Enjoy:
