The Wii Mini is a cheaper revision of the Wii, released in 2013. Due to the lack of an SD slot and internet capability, none of the previous exploits worked. Currently, the only working exploit is Bluebomb, which uses the USB port and bluetooth interface.

Enabling ethernet

Ethernet can be enabled on the Wii mini by running Ethernet Enabler. This is due to the fact that the ethernet drivers are still present in the Wii mini, despite not being usable from the System Menu.

Installing a normal System Menu

A normal Wii's System Menu can also be installed into the Wii mini. However, there are some bricking risks. To avoid bricking your Wii mini, be sure to follow these steps closely.

  1. Download System Menu 4.3 for your region using NUS Downloader.
  2. Download and apply an IOS80-nowifi patch.
  3. Download Wii Mod Lite onto your USB stick.
  4. Install IOS80-nowifi using Wii Mod Lite. This step is crucial, as a normal System Menu attempts to test WiFi immediately when it boots, which fails on the Wii mini since it does not have WiFi support.
  5. Install the downloaded System Menu using Wii Mod Lite.
