Wii Softmod to use Back-ups
![]()
Firstly, I cannot take any credit for the files or the method for soft modding the Wii. I am merely sharing information that I have discovered from searching the Internet. After much searching, the easiest method was found through a torrent site but was originally from this great site: http://www.wiiguide.co.cc/
I have used this method twice, both times this worked and took less than 10 minutes to compete from start to finish. This method requires you to have a Microsoft Windows based PC. I’ am running Windows 7 x64 and this was fine.
Firstly you will need to download these files: download here
Next you will need an SD card which is formatted correctly. To format the card, I recommend using Panasonic SD formatting tool (2.0) which can be downloaded from here.
After this, I read though the PDF below which can also be found in the Zip file that was downloaded earlier
Using an Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive on a Windows PC
I’ve not actually got an Xbox 360 or the HD DVD add-on drive but I’ve been doing a bit of research as in the past couple of weeks, two people I know have been trying to get the drive to work on their Windows PC’s.
In the course of my research I have discovered that it’s easy to install the device but more difficult to find software for HD DVD playback.
To install the device; simply connect it to your Windows driven PC. The device is plug and play and will install in little time. If there are any prompts when installing (such as one asking you to use Windows update to find drivers) click yes and next etc until driver installation is complete.
Once the drivers for the device have installed, insert a HD DVD disc to make sure the files on the disc are readable. If so continue to the next step.
This step can be skipped if running Windows Vista or Windows 7 (I believe). For Windows XP users however, the Blueprint UDF reader should be downloaded and installed.
Download the UDF reader from here, unzip the contents, read the readme.txt file, follow the instructions and install.
Now, to play anything you’ll need a player capable of playing HD DVD movies. Cyberlink has removed all HD DVD functionality from the later versions of PowerDVD (as HD DVD is now officially dead) but you can download PowerDVD 6.5 HD which does support HD DVD.

AFAIK, these instructions will work but if you do have any problems feel free to leave comments or contact me.
