    Hello all,

    I bought a DriveKey today and I'm looking forward to it. But I was wondering...Since I have the latest firmware (3.4), will this modchip work? And if it does, how can I run homebrew apps with it?...

    Pardon my stupidity, but I'm totally new to the wii-hack scene. I've been using flashcarts on my DS for more than a year, but this is my first wii-modchip...So ANY help will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, most homebrew works just fine on a 3.4 wii. The homebrew that doesn't can be fixed by following the wii fix guide, available here as part of a downgrading guide http://gbatemp.net/index.php?s=572be6275e9d6c80bf00c2b65e5f85c1&showtopic=112945

    Note that downgrading is not necessary or recommended.


    As for a modchip working with a specific wii firmware... How about you check one of these other threads of people asking the same question?

    There are many more, but those are just the ones I found in less than a minute.

    Hi and thanks...I asked this because I didn't find specific info about the DriveKey...Just some "Have you used the..." threads...Sorry if my question was redundant.

    As for HomeBrew...How can I use HomeBrew apps?...Do I need the homebrew channel specifically?...Or is there a way to just pop in DVDs with homebrew on it and play it directly?...

    Again...pardon my stupidity...But I really don't know anything about this whole Wii-Hack stuff...

    Thanks again!

    Why not just try reading some of the many guide and "how to" threads in this forum? Yesterday, i knew NOTHING about Hacking the Wii, i spent one evening reading the threads on this forum and today I have a Wii hacked with Twilight as well as many of the homebrew apps and even played my first couple of backups....
