How to Install Wii Themes (Larrys Guide)

You don't need Boot Mii but I recommend it if you can install it to Boot2.

You can get some more themes at the Softmii website.

Go HERE for a Tutorial on how to create a theme. it is sticked at the top of the forum.

 

HERE is a Simpsons theme.

 

Larry your last paragraph says "With the Wii System off turn it on and hold down the reset button. This should bring up the Preloader menu. Go to Homebrew Channel in the Preloader menu." Do you mean turn the wii off with the power button till it turns red then turn it on with the power button and then hold down the reset button?

Or

Turn off the wii by holding the reset button and turn it on by holding the reset button again?

Or

Turn it off holding the power button then hold the reset button to turn it on?

Kinda lost here....lol sorry its kinda stupid but ive read this thing about 9 times now just to make sure i get everything right. I dont wanna brick by doing something so stupid as to turning the wii off or on holding the wrong buttons. Thanks!

 

It dosen't matter how the Wii is turned off. Just as long as it is turned off RED or Yellow (stand bye). Just make sure it is off. Then turn it on and hold the reset button down till the Preloader menu comes up.

Heres a video with some of the instructions. What do you think about this vid larry? BTW this is not me....I was sent this video from a modder friend of mine.

 

How come when I try and backup the 00000072.app it tells me "could not open "00000072.app""?

 

I just finished with the steps from larry's guide. I go to the website to download a theme (Street Fighter or Transformers). I use MyMenu and I get FTP errors. sometimes it says script error. Do I change the .zip/rar to .mym while i'm about to save to pc or change it after I save.

 

hey larry.....hope u can help me??? i got PAL wii with 3.2 and the latest homebrew installed i am tryin to find a way to install themes but i cant find anything on the net or any apps for it either...the site for softmii is also down any ideas............thanks keep up the good work

 

hello.....i just managed to install a theme on a console running on 3.2 folowing larrys instructions for the 4.0 the only things that you will have to do different is instead of the 00000075.app make sure you locate the 00000045.app and also the themes you will use have to be designed for 3.2.....if u folow larrys link from his istructions it will take you to a website with themes make sure u click on the 3.2 themes........everything else in the instructions is the same and i hope this helps some ENJOY

 

first of all, thankyou Larry for your wonderful guides, they are a blessing.

now one quick question before i proceed in tweaking my sys menu.
im running on firmware 4.0u and im trying to do the softmii nand backup. i go to title - 0000001- 0000002- content- and all i can see is 0000002d.app there is no 00000072.app should i proceed??
im just checking with you because im not into Bricking my wii. lol
thankyou very much

 

i got the exact same problem plz help the only option i got under title>00000001>00000002>content> wen i click on those all i see is title.tmd under that i got 0000000b.app and 0000000a.app thats all i got no 00000075.APP

 

Read the guide fully.

It says in red...

So make sure at the top your at the proper 00000001- 00000002 directory. If you don't see 00000075.APP file then your probably not at the 0000002 directory.

LARRYLJE'S INSTRUCTIONS ARE MORE THAN ACCURATE GUYS MAKE SURE U FOLLOW THEN TO THE LAST DETAIL..........TO AVOID BRICKING YOUR Wii AND MOST QUESTIONS THAT UR POSTING NOW ARE ALL READY ANSWERED FOR YOU

 

i finally got it thanks but 1 thing that i dont like whenever i turn my wii on it takes like 5-10 seconds to actually load the screen it usually takes 1-3 seconds how do i avoid this?

 

I don't if I'm allowed to post the site of where you can get them but if anyone wants themes for the Wii PM me, I also do requests.


PS our themes can be installed most system menu's 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.0 and 4.1 and I have a better tutorial

 

I want to install bootmii as boot2 but am unable too. I only have the ISO option. I understand I can still back up my NAND but if I was to brick the Wii I couldn't reboot to restore.
(4.0U softmod rev13a)

1) Why backup if you can’t reboot a bricked system?

2) Is there any other way of hack to install it as Boot2?

3) Is it safe to turn Wii24 on and play online, internet channel, updates ect..?

4) Is there anything else to look out for if I'm unable to boot2 and backup?

Thanks
