From the last few weeks I have been searching and trying to find out how to install a backup launcher for Wii. I found a plenty of videos and that kind of stuff saying that I have to install cIOS but my wii just freezes or the screen turns black.
I also tried to install wad but it doesn't work either.
I had already updated my wii to 4.2 and I have HBC.
Could please somebody tell me why this happens and explain me how can I install it?
Not sure if i have the answer but i had a softmodded wii, which my son updated to fimrware 4.2e via the wii from nintendo, This update deleted my hombrew channel and stopped my backup channel from playing backups. I then restored my wii to factory settings which meant i lost all my data. I then followed a guide for modding my new 4.2e firmware which i might add found a lot easier than some guides i have used before, Everything worked fine i also installed neogamma 8 beta v15 and it plays all my backups including new mario brothers and a few that didnt work before. If you would like me to post the info and guide i used let me know :) I take no credit for the guides or help i received and would like to thank all modders.

Hi this is the guide i followed but first my system was updated by nintendo update to 4.2e i then rest my wii to factory settings
Setting up the SD Card 1st download the precompiled link modify.zip by emailing simplisticmod@gmail.com
Extract the "modify.zip" & put the files onto a SD card & insert the SD card into the Wii.
Installing The Homebrew Channel & Bootmii Run bannerbomb by going to the SD Card menu ( not data management but the sd card icon bottom left - by bradnick ) & choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf
This runs the Hackmii Installer from which you should install the Homebrew Channel, DVDX [optional], & Bootmii as IOS & boot2 if possible.
"I SKIPPED THE NAND BACKUP" by bradnick p.s this i leave up to you
Making a NAND backup Restart your Wii, if Bootmii was installed as boot2, then it will show up as soon as the Wii is turned on.
If Bootmii was only installed as an IOS, then it must be loaded by pressing home in the HBC & clicking Launch Bootmii
Press the power button on the wii 3 times to get to the last option, then press the reset button.
[You can also navigate with a gc controller.]
Press reset to choose the first option, & then follow the directions on the screen to make your NAND backup.
[Bad blocks are no problem.]
Backup the Bootmii folder, NAND.bin, & keys.bin elsewhere & erase from the sd card. [or rename it.]
Head back to The Homebrew Channel.
Restoring the Trucha Bug
Run Trucha Bug Restorer
Press B to choose No IOS Reload.
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Go to Downgrade IOS15.
Press A to downgrade.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.
*If you get stuck on the first Trucha bug Restorer step, restart your Wii and try again at least twice.
**If your it still freezes, try to skip the 3 TBR steps completely as there is a chance it will work!
Run Trucha Bug Restorer Choose IOS15 & press A. (Important)
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Choose IOS36 menu. In there use these settings:
Then press A on install patched IOS36.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.
Run Trucha Bug Restorer Choose IOS36 & press A.
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Then Choose restore IOS15.
Press A to restore.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.
AFTER THIS I HAD TO RESET MY WII DUE A DUMP CODE ERROR - by bradnick i would advise you reset your wii before the next step
Deleting stub IOS's
Run Any Title Deleter MOD Choose IOS36 & press A.
Go to System Titles & press A.
Select IOS222 & press A to delete.
Select IOS223 & press A to delete.
Select IOS249 & press A to delete.
Select IOS250 & press A to delete.
*If any IOS listed above is not there, check the other pages. If it's still not there, do not worry about it & move along with the guide.
BY PAGES THIS MEANS YOU CAN JUMP TO PAGE 2 3,4 TO FIND IOS,S - by bradnick i found 2 of them on page 2.
** If it is not deleting, you did not patch IOS36 correctly. Go back.
Installing cIOS & Patching the System Menu IOS Run WAD Manager 1.5
When it opens choose IOS36. (it is probably already set to that)
Press A to leave NAND emulator disabled.
Press A to open from SD slot.
Install cIOS202[38+60]-v4.wad
Install cIOS222[38]-v4.wad
Install cIOS223[38+37]-v4.wad

Install either cIOS250-v14.wad or cIOS250-v15.wad
Install IOS70-64-v6687[TB+ES_diV+NAND].wad
Press home to exit.
Enable System Menu Hacks [optional; recommended if Bootmii is only installed as an IOS.]
Run Priiloader to install preloader onto your system.
Enable desired hacks & go into the settings & make to use the system menu IOS.
Latest Priiloader is rev30
This was the guide i followed, i then downloaded neogamma 8 beta v15 and put it in apps on my sd card via pc, I had to access hombrew channel to run neogamma 8 to run the new mario brothers game.
Once again i take no credit for this and thanks again to the modders
