emulated through dolphin, not my real wii
video looks blurry, I think it was too much uhh. I decided to enable the blurry filter and native resolution just for the nostalgia :p
there are not enough homebrew channels
Q&A for the curious: Custom menu music? Yes. Custom text everywhere? Yes. Custom menu images? Yes. Custom homebrew channels? Yes. All of this is not particularly hard to do, but you definitely need to follow a tutorial. There are not tutorials anywhere, so I may do a video about it soon.
I found out about this wii menu stuff abouta year ago, but forgot how to do most of these things. If I forgot it once, I'm sure I'll do it again.
somethings missing... I think u need more homebrew channels. not sure tho.
I think you're right..

I really hope people are still making new emulators and mods for the wii
I think they're still updating the apps and homebrew.
@@hsmreu yeah, but i’m hoping they can make a dreamcast or ps2 emulator, and have a update to get wii menu themes off of imac, cause right now, you can only do it off of windows
@@Cheesemoonh have you tried to use wine? maybe you can run thememii and those apps that you need for the wii. im not that informed on it but It's the only thing that comes to my mind.
also a ps2 emulator would sadly be impossible for the wii to run, the ps2 is a really complex console and even modern pcs can have issues with a few games.. But maybe the dreamcast is possible, I'd honestly love to see the classic sonic adventure running on the wii ...
As far as I know, the dreamcast is also a complex console, specially with the transparecy effects, If I'm not wrong, it used a special piece of hardware to calculate transparencies and stuff.. Pretty interesting.. But still, it is a fairly easier console to emulate. I remember seeing reicast showcases in devices like the Samsung galaxy note back in 2014 or 2015. I think it's a matter of finding someone who is dedicated enough and is willing to accept the challenge
@@hsmreu Wait, but the ps2 has some games that the wii has, that’s why i think it can run on it, and so as the dreamcast
@@Cheesemoonh Well yeah, the wii has some ps2 games, but its more something about hardware, those games are ports and the code is changed so it communicates directly with the wii hardware, im not an expert lol, but doing an emulator would be really hard because the wii will have to simulate the ps2 hardware like if it was a real ps2, and at the same time translate all the functionality, that would require a lot of computing power... Im no expert though but that's what I know, certainly I would've loved to play titles like devil may cry 3 in my wii lol

@@hsmreuone more thing, WHY DO YOU HAVE MULTIPLE HOMEBREW CHANNELS?
@@goofyperson222 Hard to explain, but having a lot of homebrew channels installed was something common in these "hacked wii menus" I basically took this as a competition and said "You know what, I'm having an insane amount of homebrew channels". But at the end of the day, I just do it because it's funny.
I also like how they look, so I make my own homebrew channel forwarders. It's kinda like a habit for the wii homebrew users to have a few forwarders installed. Idk.

Every homebrew channel, at least the ones I've made, are around 1-2mb in size. Which is about 6-12 blocks lol
@@hsmreu I wonder if you can invrease the channels you have on Wii 🤔
On the Wii U menu, you could have a TON more apps visible. Here, there's only like 40 channel slots.
@@MidNiteMenaceOfficial As far as I know, you can't increase the channel slots. I once went over the maximum number of channels the wii can allow, and of course, nothing serious happened. However, I couldn't see the rest of the channels.
When I deleted a few channels, the missing channels randomly appeared.
I guess you can install unlimited amount of "titles" until you have no free space, but the wii can only show 40 on the menu.
2:47 da Homebrew Channels 3:54 da Pirate Homebrew channel, then other more Homebrew Channels, there's also KFC in the list.
Man, how many homebrew channels do you have? I only have the normal Homebrew Channel with the game installers.

How did u get to modify the text,sound and font of the Wii Menu?? :00000
I may do a tutorial on this soon. This was already possible a long time ago, as I remember seeing the usual "my hacked wii menu" videos and some of them had modified text. But, for some reason, even after investigating a lot, I couldn't find any tutorials.
In the end, I found out that you can modify the text with, literally, a Mario Kart modding tool.
You need to download the wii menu file (ModMii works), decompress it, and after decompressing it, you can access a text file somewhere inside the extracted files. To open that file you need the mario kart wii modding tool, and there you can access every line of text that the wii uses
The audio thing, one or more skilled and amazing people found a method for it, though, it is somewhat complicated because the audio file has to be under 1MB or the wii hangs on the disclaimer screen. The process is similar, not hard, but you need to follow a few steps. This time you need to do it with the Smash Brawl modding tool (somehow this works lol)
(update for the next thing: thememii does automatically set the texture addresses for you, though, I forgot how. You may just need the menu file, the textures you want to modify and call it a day)
The font of the clock is the easiest thing to change, but at the same time it's the hardest and more time-consuming. You need a program called ThemeMii, which allows you to manually select which textures to replace on the Wii Menu. You need to find the exact texture location inside the Menu File and specify it. In my case, I found out that the Okami theme had the clock font that I wanted. I extracted the clock font from the Okami Theme using the program, and then, on another ThemeMii Window, I started adding each number one by one. I had to manually write (or in this case, copy and paste) the respective directory of each number and the size in pixels.
This sounds technical but it is fine. Everyone can do it, If I could then everyone can.
It's just surprising how no one has made a tutorial on it and there is little to no information about it on the web. D-umbra died years ago, and a lot of guides may have vanished from the internet, but it is still surprising that there is little to no info available to the public
Of course I was able to do all of this thanks to some related info here and there, but most of it was information about file association and how to open certain files.
I have to say, the tutorial on how to add custom menu music helped me the most, as this tutorial also needs you to decompress the wii menu file, which is something you also need to do if you want to change the text.
And now, sorry if that's a lot of text, but I wanted to explain all of it. Thanks for commenting:)
Hello again!! First of all, thanks a lot for responding :DDDD.
5 minutes after I commented you I was doing a little bit of research about the Wii Menu custom music (that is honestly the thing about your video that most interested me) and found a little bit of information about it.
But really not that much as the gbatemp forums were from 2009-2013 and back then there wasn’t enough tools of modification things etc…
But now that you’ve replied to me I’m planing of doing more research of the information you just telled me.
Once again thanks a lot for responding me and the effort you took for finding everything by yourself :))))).
(btw sorry if my English is the worst)
@@Jose-tg8ci I see. If you want to change the menu music, check this document:

Hope it works! If I can help you with anything feel free to ask me. I'm no expert but maybe I can give advice :D

something is wrong with the texture pack and texts
Why so much homebrew channel?
I made 12 of them and the rest found them somewhere. In all seriousness, it seems that having a lot of homebrew channel forwarders installed in a wii is a common thing in the community, probably as a flex (since they're usually customized, rare to find and they can also work to show just how much you know about this stuff). or maybe just for the shits and giggles. To me it's funny to have a wii menu full of them, so I decided to take it to another level 😮💨
@@hsmreu Damn and thanks. I wish I was as cool as you 😊
@@Piratefreddy You're the cool guy bro! but thx, I appreciate it a lot 🙂
Hey I was wondering how you change the Wii text like the start button?
I can make a tutorial on that. I've been planning on doing one after this video hits 10K..
You need a few apps. You need to download the wii menu that matches your wii. I use modmii. In my case, I downloaded the 4.3u wii menu.
After that, I searched for the wii menu file which is called 00000097 .app or something like that. Inside of this thing you can find a text file, you can get it by unpacking the 00000097 .app, which is something that you can do with another program.
To open the text file, I needed another app, which is literally a Mario Kart Modding tool. "SZS modifier", if I'm not wrong.
Ofc, I discovered, almost all of this by myself. I guess. But it was already possible before, somehow. Though, I imagine that people used a command prompt application to open the text file. Right now, SZS modifier has an interface so it's really easy to use.
TL;DR:
1. Download wii.cs tools
(includes U8Mii which is the app that you need for packing/unpacking)
2. Download SZS modifier (hardest thing to do, you have to right click the download button on the chadsoft page, and save the link as a file)
3. Download the system menu file that your wii uses. (after getting your files locate the 000000xx .app file!!)
4. After you have everything, open U8mii and unpack the .app file.
5. if you installed SZS modifier, you should be able to open the text file. It's called common.bmg and it's somewhere along the extracted system menu files.
6. Change any line of text that you want and close the app when u finish
7. pack the 000000xx .app extracted data with U8mii. After this, you have to install the app file to your wii. You may be able to do it with mymenuify or something (I don't remember) but if you can't, just create a csm with thememii and install it with mymenuify. Should apply the changes with no issues and there should be no risk of brick but proceed with caution anyway lol

@@Robiketer It's a custom theme. Please tell me what wii system version you have, I can make the theme for you .
If your wii is 4.3 u, I can share the theme file.
I have the vwii will it work?
@@Robiketer Well I don't know how to create vwii themes so I can't help much. I imagine vwii is a separare firmware you can download from Nus Downloader so I will tell you the process anyway.
This just involves the use of thememii. Thememii is a tool for theme creation. In my case, I added the firmware file for 4.3U (.app file) and then I replaced the cursor texture with the middle finger one. I can extract the middle finger texture and I can share it with you.
Overall it's just a pretty simple task, but I just don't know if vwii themes are created in the same way as normal wii themes. I hope it helped at least a little. :/
@@hsmreu hold on is the file a csm file because if it is it should work

how do you modify the song
song has to be in .wav format and be less than 1MB. You have to manually decompress the wii system menu file (which is a 000000xx .app file (something long those lines) and then open a certain file with brawlcrate. You can replace the menu music in brawlcrate, and then compress back the app file with another program.
