Kadano's Wii softmodding guide

I recommend using Kadano's guide if you're new to Wii homebrew. Many guides in the wild are out of date or weren't very good to begin with.

Installation Summary

  1. Download the .zip from the latest release. Unzip to the root of your SD card such that boot.dol, meta.xml, and icon.png all end up under /apps/Nintendont Melee.
  2. Copy your vanilla Melee (NTSC 1.02) ISO (as well as any special versions like Training Mode) to /games/.
  3. Combine with Priiloader and Nintendont Forwarder for Priiloader to autoboot from power-on to Nintendont.
  4. Turn on autoboot in Nintendont settings to autoboot all the way to Melee.

Build Requirements

You will need to install part of the devkitPro toolchain to build Nintendont. Visit the getting started page and find the instructions for your system. I recommend installing GBA, Wii, and GC packages. GBA is required to get devkitARM which isn't provided in the others. You effectively need devkitARM devkitPPC and libogc.

Building on Windows

To build on windows, you need to run the Incremental Build.bat file in the Nintendont root.

Troubleshooting

libwinpthread-1.dll error:

make -C multidol
make[1]: Entering directory '../Nintendont/multidol'
 ASSEMBLE    crt0.S
 COMPILE     cache.c
 COMPILE     main.c
 COMPILE     global.c
 COMPILE     apploader.c
 COMPILE     dip.c
 COMPILE     utils.c
 LINK        multidol_ldr.elf

make[1]: *** [Makefile:44: multidol_ldr.elf] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '../Nintendont/multidol'
make: *** [Makefile:34: multidol] Error 2

For some reason the devkitPro installer might not install things correctly. In order to fix the above error, you will need to go to your devkitPPC/bin directory, grab the file called libwinpthread-1.dll, and copy it to devkitPPC/powerpc-eabi/bin/, this should fix the issue.
