rWiiHacks' Support Megathread

Both BattleTanx and BattleTanx - Global Assault are now playable on the Wii64 emulator. Thank you devs, I was going to be buying a summercart with 2 gamecube264 adapters, but, not anymore. Thank you again!

I wanted to install a mod that removes the decorations from the special stages to help reduce slowdowns, but I can’t get the port to recognize the mod. Does anyone know how I can get this working?

So I used to play a lot of Wii FPS when I was growing up and always loved how intuitive and precise the aiming felt. After playing a lot of Fortnite on PC recently, I started to crave that control scheme again. Out of curiosity, I tried connecting my Wii remote to my PC and had SOME success using it (programmed as a mouse via GlovePie), but I realized it would never be quite like playing an actual Wii shooter because of the way the camera/reticule worked in those games (they weren’t tied together at the center of the screen).

Luckily for me, Fortnite recently added a feature called “Tweak Zone” which allows controller players to aim more freely without the camera necessarily moving. (I actually emailed them asking if they could implement something like this about 6 months ago. Not sure if my email actually worked or if it was just a coincidence, but I’ll take it haha.) So I connected my Wii remote to my PC again but this time as a virtual Xbox 360 controller (using Gunmote) and maxed out the Tweak Zone settings.

And honestly, it feels amazing to play! It feels very similar to shooters made for the Wii.

I’d love to see some fellow appreciators of Wii remote aiming try this out! There's a full video tutorial in my profile or you can read the written version below :) 

***How to Set This Up***

What you need: 

- PC with Fortnite
- Wii remote/nunchuk
- Sensor bar
- Bluetooth adapter
- Gunmote

Some optional things:

- Dolphinbar, which replaces the need for a sensor bar and Bluetooth adapter as it is both in one. I just use a USB sensor bar and a Bluetooth adapter so I can’t speak to the specific steps for setting it up but I’ve heard it’ll work. 
- USB extension cable if using Bluetooth adapter. It helps get the adapter as close as possible to the Wii remote to ensure a strong connection while playing.  

First you’re going to need to download and install Gunmote (it’s free). Here’s the link: 

https://github.com/gunmotelabs/Gunmote

Then you’re going to make sure your Bluetooth adapter and sensor bar are plugged in and working. I recommend putting the Bluetooth adapter in a USB 2.0 slot, and moving it as close as possible to your Wii remote without any obstructions to ensure the strongest connection. I recommended using a USB extension for this reason.

Next you’re going to pair your Wii remote to your PC from within Gunmote. It’ll tell you how on the main screen. 

Then you’re going to hit settings in the top right, and make sure the “sensor mode” is toggled to the correct position. 

Now you can hit “Wiimote Configuration” and start mapping the Wii remote/nunchuk inputs as Xbox 360 inputs. For reference, here is a simple diagram of how mine is mapped out which includes both my Gunmote and Fortnite mappings (my layout is optimized for Zero Build by the way, but I think it may still be a good starting starting point if you play Build):

(I apologize for the crappy resolution lol) 

You’re going to want to make sure that the “Pointer” is mapped as the Right Stick, and that Right/Left/Up/Down Pointer are mapped to the corresponding stick press.

Under each pointer direction are pointer settings. I recommend 0 Deadzone, 2 - 2.4 Scale, and 0 Threshold. You can play with these values of course but this is what I’ve found works best. Currently I’m using 2.2 for Scale and the other two are at 0.

Now in Fortnite make sure you choose "Custom" next to Controller Binding Presets and choose "Xbox One" next to Controller Platform (Gunmote doesn’t support Xbox One or series X/S and Fortnite doesn’t support Xbox 360).

Once all of your binds are squared away in Gunmote/Fortnite, make sure Use Advanced Options is toggled "On" and play around with your sensitivity and what not to make sure everything feels good. Here are my settings for reference (just the relevant ones): 

Look Horizontal Speed: 100%

Look Vertical Speed: 100%

Turning Horizontal Boost: 5%

Turning Horizontal Boost: 5%

Turning Boost Ramp Time: 0 seconds

ADS Look Horizontal Speed: 100%

ADS Look Vertical Speed: 100%

Look Input Curve: Exponential 

Right Stick Dead Zone: 5%

And of course, make sure Tweak Zone Aiming is set to “Always On”. I recommend maxing out both the “Tweak Zone” and “Tweak Offset” values for maximum range. 

Also, to activate your Gunmote settings/binds, hold the home button for a couple seconds and choose the layout you just made.

Now you are ready to play! Enjoy :D

If you have any questions or issues with setting this up feel free to message me!

Here are my suggestions for the Gunmote and Fortnite developers in case any of them see this or if you'd like to pass the message along haha: 

Gunmote: 

- Add ability to map button combos (e.g. A + B together) or double tapping a single button to count as a different input
- Add ability to have different pointer settings (deadzone/scale/threshold) when holding down specific button (e.g. holding Z to aim down sights also lowers the pointer sensitivity)
- Add option to have the controller output be PS4 and/or PS5 to add more mappable buttons  

Fortnite:

- Increase the maximum “tweak offset” value so that aiming can reach edges of screen
- Decrease the minimum “right/left stick dead zone” value to 0, so that turning can be immediate if desired

I made a tool that lets you install a patched, custom version of the Wii Menu Manual made specifically for the original Wii. Since manuals already existed for the Wii mini and vWii, this project reimagines how a manual for the original Wii would look.

The tool is available in 7 languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, and Portuguese). More languages will be added as the manual compatibility extends (as it has 7 languages for now)

Hope you like the project.

idk why even though i put in my address n stuff correctly (i put my province in for state and the postal code for the zip code) the only place it shows me that is available is the reunion tower in dallas, which also happens to be the same 'placeholder address' that was put in when i was inputting my information, how do i fix this?

I would like to host a Mario Kart Wii LAN party. I have two (modded) consoles and two monitors. Is there some mod for Mario Kart Wii such that we can play with 8 people in the same room? As far as I understand Wiimnffi only allows 2 online people per console.

I was wondering how to do it since I tried every combo but couldn't and I have to restart the console everytime but I wanted it to come back to USB Loader GX

How do I make my own Wii mod like where I can load it through revolution and play it like other mods I would like to re-texture maybe remodel some stuff a different music and Like You doing dolphin

Just finished modding my Wii:
Electron Shepherd AVE-HDMI mod (I know I accidentally overcut the shell for the HDMI port, gonna try to get that gap filled in later)
Permanent Red LED Disc Drive Slot Light
Window Case cutout with Mario M Logo
WS2812B strips with SP611E controller
How’s my soldering and my install? I know some people are gonna complain about the HDMI hole, I went a little bit too aggressive with it. It was really hard to get a clean cut for me as I don’t have any experience with making precise cuts like that. Any suggestions for the best way how to get that gap filled would be appreciated.

Add me to play

Does gcpadder support more than one gc pad forwarding to pc ? is there any other alternative that can do 4 pads ??

has ps1 emulation improve on the wii or is still very poor? i cant seem to find info about it other than old guides on setting it up.

I have my Wii here with CavEx on it and the only Wii controller I have is the wiimote, I don’t even have the nunchuck, I would have liked to use one of my controllers: Xbox 360 Controller, two PS4 controllers, one Xbox Series S controller. Is there any way I can make this work?

Used priiloader to remove region locks & crashes when booted up, press play on wii, then it loads, then a grainy green screen shows and no buttons work, forced to turn off Wii, then I dumped the game using cleanrip, and imported the iso into dolphin, then the game crashes at the same point, but it’s purple this time

I have a gba to gcn link cable
A modded Wii
Sonic advance 3 cartridge
And a gba

Wondering if I could get a home brew thing to play games link sonic advance 3 multiplayer by connecting the gba to gcn link cable to the modded Wii while I have sonic advance 3 in my gba so the player on the Wii is my player 2 😭 plz someone understand

I looked up what should work, and if there was a IOS that I could update to make it work, but I only found an update for the vWii in the Wii U. Shouldn't this adapter work with the standard original RVL-001 full-sized Wii? I do have it modded with the works. Only odd thing is that it's USB-C. Anybody have a Wii working with a AX88772B, USB-A or USB-C?

The long of it:

I found a USB 2.0 adapter that showed on the picture that it has AX88772 as the chip, so I bought it hoping that it would work with the Wii so I don't have to figure out an additional WiFi. I saw that it was USB-C, but I figured I could use an adapter. When I try to test the internet on the Wii, it gives error 4472. No light on the adapter. Tried the other port, same thing. I tried adding a USB splitter so I can add external power, didn't help. I plugged it into my PC, works right away, lights up, internet works even after I unplugged my standard cable from the onboard NIC. I looked in device manager, and it shows the ID as AX88772B. This was with the same external power cable plugged into a phone charger brick to make sure using that didn't mess anything up.

Hey peeps, I am looking into modding my wii now. Right now its unmodded. I wanna play Ocarina of time in the most real setup.

Do u have an idea how to map the buttons to 64? They are all over the place. The wii is unmodded right now.

I appreciate any help.
