    No. Its kind of a mess with those files/folders. The 3.1 SDK is in there too and that was easier for me to set up.

    I received all the files/folders out of order like that. Some stuff is where it's supposed to be and others are in random folders. But I believe everthing is in there.

    Also I think there is a text file in there somewhere that tells you how to use CodeWarrior.

    I think there is a modified licence file in the SDK download linked in the beginning of the guide. I don't know if it applies to CodeWarrior though.

    I don't think so. Did you brick yours?

    I don't know. When I boot it up every thing is normal but it just shows a black screen. I might be because I am using Virtual Box. I plan on buy a refinished windows up machine.

    I had that happen once. I believe I used the Disk Emulator program to reset the NDEV.

    EDIT: Cause with mine I reset the NDEV while it was loading a game and that's what caused the black screen.

    I'm kind of a noob at stuff like this, but, where can I find wii roms that aren't .iso or WBFS files?
    also, is there a way to convert .iso files to the proper dlf files?

    And when it comes to the .dlf file please read the guide again. When you run the game files through the SDK it will make a .dlf file for you.

    Is there any possible way you could send me the rom you used for the guide?

    I didn't use a rom. I had the game New Super Mario Bros. And .dlf files contains file paths that are specific to each computer. All you need to do is get a wii iso, use a program like Wii Manager and extract the files into a folder, and then follow the guide to set your environment variables, DvdRoot, and run the game.

    If you have any specific questions about the setup you can message me.

    And dont be asking for retail games in this thread. If you cant figure out how to pirate one of the most pirateable systems, thats on you.

    I suggest using Wiimm's wit for the folders:
    http://wit.wiimm.de
    Oh and fun fact: Use HBC v1.0 (I've attached it) with Bannerbomb (or latest FW and Letterbomb using my SDK: it should be on the thread soon) to get onto HBC, and use BootMii@IOS to dump the NAND. You can use the NAND tool Ohneschwanzenegger to force a cIOS in there, but you wont be able to do that much, it's just a little bit of info you may want to know.

    Again I suggest against installing the HBC on an NDEV. You risk bricking it if you screw it up. Plus it doesn't have a practical purpose since you can just load it through the SDK normally.

    Well considering you can't brick using BootMii's Installer (it specifically ignores the IOS exploit it needs on retail; it just knows that you're an NDEV and does the NDEV method to install), but sure :p
