How safe are wads? I don't wanna install one and end up breaking my Wii. I have looked up some information about wad files and how they work but there are still a couple of things I am not sure about. I have the homebrew channel installed so I think my Wii is ready to install wad files. armboot.bin will overwrite BootMii's original armboot.I want to install a wad file on my Wii. Copy the contents of the 'Copy_to_SD' folder made by SNEEK.bat to the root of your SD card. You are now ready to put SNEEK on your SD card. Once it loads, press 1 to dump NAND FS to SD card. copy it to 'apps/FSDumper/boot.dol', then run it via HBC. Inside is a file called 'FSDumper.dol' and a readme.Ĭopy FSDumper.dol to your SD card, in your 'apps' folder, in its own folder and rename it 'boot.dol', i.e. Leave it for now, and extract FSDumper.zip if you have not already. Copy it to the directory with the other files (ELFIns.exe etc.) When its done, there should be a new folder beside NUSD.exe, with a lot of files in it. Tick the 'decrypt' box near the bottom of NUSD, then press 'Start NUS Download'. Then run NUSD.exe.Īt the top of NUSD, select 'Database' then select 'IOS' then 'IOS60' then 'v6174'. Copy this to the NUSD folder beside NUSD.exe. Run MakeKeyBin.exe, type '42' and press 'GENERATE' and a file 'key.bin' should be made. Copy armboot.bin, ELFIns.exe, Boot2Me.exe and SNEEK.bat to the same folder as the contents of efm.zip, so the folder should contain: Then go back to trunk and go to 'ELFIns' and get 'ELFins.exe'įrom NUS Downloader - WiiBrew, download NUS Downloader.Įxtract all the ZIP archives.

If you have to install as IOS, you should install Priiloader, and set it to autoboot BootMii/IOS.Īnyway, once you have BootMii installed, SNEEK takes a lit bit of setting up. You can install BootMii with the HackMii Installer, available here: ĭepending on how old your Wii is, you may be able to install as boot2 or you may have to install as IOS. To use SNEEK, you first need to install BootMii.

This makes it virtually impossible to brick your Wii, as your real NAND cannot be accessed.

SNEEK stands for SD NAND and ES Emulation Kit and uses BootMii to boot directly to a NAND dump on your SD card instead of your actual NAND.
