Configure PriiLoader

  • See guide at http://www.wiigen.fr/tuto-bien-configurer-son-priiloader-article-8331-1.html
  • Install file
    • Loader GX (forwarder)
      Easier to set up forwarder, so that we can update the loader without need to reconfigure priiloader.
  • Configuration:
    • Autoboot: Installed file
    • Return to: Autoboot
  • System config:
    • Block Disc Updates
    • Block Online Update
    • No-Delete HAXX.JODI.DVDX.DISC.DISK.RZDx
    • Skip Health Screen Auto
    • Re-enable Bannerbomb v2
    • Remove NoCopy Save File Protection
    • Move Disc Channel

Configure USB Loader GX

Settings:

  • Extract all savegames
  • Extract all Mii
  • Extract all Channel
  • Extract SYSCONF
  • Enable full Mii NAND emulation
  • Enable full savegame NAND emulation
  • Enable Error 002 fix (needed for Skylanders for instance)
  • Go to Update menu, and update all (incl. WiiTDB.xml)

Note:

Partial/full savegame emulation (see [1])
Partial uses game saves from emu NAND and Mii's from real NAND and Full uses both from emu NAND.
NAND mode partial / full (see [2])
Partial means it's using settings from real NAND for wiimotes, internet, etc... while Full gets everything from the emu NAND.

Guide

Using Priiloader

Creating WBFS Partition on External Drive

  • Connect USB drive to PC
  • Install Wiithon (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/wiithon)
    • On Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin 64-bit, install wiithon_1.26-507_amd64.deb manually
  • Create a FAT32 partition on external drive (say 200GB, in general count 2.5GB / game ISO)
  • Mount that partition
  • Launch Wiithon
    • You might need to add yourself to disk group: sudo gpasswd -a $USER disk !!! BETTER remove yourself afterwards !!!
  • Go to parameters, tools & utilities, select Format WBFS

On Trusty, wiithon does not detect the external FAT32 partition. Uses wit package instead:

  • Format FAT32 partition on external drive
  • (Not sure) unmount drive from /media, and remount manually
# Install wit
sudo apt-get install wit
# See doc at /usr/share/doc/wit/DOCUMENTATION.txt.gz and /usr/share/doc/wit/wwt.txt.gz
# Assume ext. FAT32 partition at /dev/sdb1
sudo wwt INIT --test /dev/sdb1
sudo wwt INIT --force /dev/sdb1
sudo wwt FIND

Backup Games

Using Wii / USB Loader GX

  • Games DVD can be backup on the Wii itself, using the USB Loader GX.
  • Simply start the USB Loader GX, and insert the game DVD.
  • Loader will detect the disc, and ask whether to install it (aka create a backup copy on the USB drive), or start it.

Using Wii Backup Fusion

  • TBC

Using Wiithon

  • TBC (possible?)
