Safe (should be ok to run without worry):
- homebrew that does not install anything or require installation, or even better, ones that do not write to NAND at all
- installing The Homebrew Channel. While this does install to NAND, this is the most reputable of all Wii homebrew launchers, and the authors (Team Twiizers) make sure it is as safe as possible before they release it.

Potential risk of brick but still more or less doable (make sure you have a NAND backup, or at the very least a key dump from the modified xyzzy + hardware programmer):
- Installing channel wads (same reason as on regular Wii, mainly only if they have a bad banner or something, otherwise if they are confirmed ok, then they should be safe)
- Installing non-critical system parts, like game IOS, patched IOS, or cIOS into unused slots (such as d2x v10 vWii version), as long as one is installing vWii versions only on vWii, and regular Wii versions only on regular Wii (they are not used by System Menu and should be fine to remove and reinstall if you screw them up)
- Modifying 1-513 "BC-WFS". According to crediar, this is used by vWii to be able to load up and give compatibility to Dragon Quest X. Dragon Quest uses it's own "WFS" formatted USB drive, so that is probably why. BC-WFS is encrypted, so it cannot be successfully modified until the encryption is publicly cracked. But messing it up should not harm anything on vWii other than Dragon Quest X.

Will brick if you do it wrong, you can do these [b]BUT[/b] only do if you know EXACTLY what you are doing: (a NAND dump, and at the very least a xyzzy key dump + hardware programmer will be the ONLY thing to save you if you screw up, due to no bootmii as boot2 on vWii)
- Modifying System Menu IOS in any way (is currently IOS80)
- Modifying 1-512 "BC-NAND". According to crediar, this title is needed by vWii to be able to load NAND titles, like channels. Messing this up would break channel loading, which is no good, but disc games should still work. Breaking this would be harder to fix due to the inability to load channels. It is also encrypted, so cannot be successfully modified until the encryption is publicly cracked.

DO NOT do, this stuff is just plain stupid and confirmed as not working and brick causing:
- Installing regular Wii IOS on vWii. Installing non-critical IOS will result in those IOS having very limited functionality and crashing very easily, installing old System Menu IOS (IOS 80 atm) will cause vWii to brick.
- Installing vWii IOS on regular Wii. This actually seems worse than the inverse. While Wii IOS maybe actually load up on vWii but still crash when trying anything, vWii IOS on regular Wii will not work at all. Also, users have reported very strange Wii bricks (among them being myself and FIX94) from installing vWii IOS on them, even non-critical ones... I have no clue why they do this, but new IOS for new hardware, there has got to be a reason somewhere.
- Installing vWii IOS wad files on vWii packed from a vWii NAND dump using a program on your PC. The program used to create the Wad file is fake signing the ticket. While it install fine and seems to works fine on vWii, it bricks the Update feature of the WiiU Mode, and prevent reinstalling The Homebrew Channel on vWii!
- Installing older IOS, or stub IOS, or deleting IOS that you do not want anymore.
- Modifying vWii System Menu in any way, including priiloader or "themes". Do not modify the System Menu's .dol, it has extra encryption that has not been publicly cracked yet. Also cannot install priiloader for the same reason. Since vWii System Menu is not the same as regular Wii's System menu, regular Wii "themes" are not compatible, and will brick vWii. AFAIK there are no vWii themes released at this time, and I myself am unsure about making or installing my own myself, as I have not tried it yet.
- Deleting The Homebrew Channel if it doesn't work anymore. The homebrew channel is not working because you messed the IOSes. The Homebrew Channel is working fine, do not ever delete it! it's your most easiest way to restore and fix a bricked vWii. If you delete The Homebrew Channel, it will be harder to fix your console.
- Deleting Forwarder Channels if you bricked your vWii. Same as The Homebrew Channel, a forwarder can be found useful to unbrick your console. Don't delete ANYTHING if you think your console is not working. Ask to other users on the forum first. It will save your console.
- Trying to do or install anything at all if you do not know what you are doing, seriously, read up and learn about everything before attempting to mod anything, this should be a given!

What is recommended to do:
- Install The Homebrew Channel.
- Then run the modified xyzzy v1.2.1 unnofficial provided by DarkMatterCore on your vWii via HBC. It will dump your vWii's unique per-console encryption keys that are needed to decrypt and re-encrypt a dump of your vWii's NAND on PC, useful in case if you brick vWii, you can (or send it to someone who can) dump the vWii's NAND into PC using a hardware programmer, like an Infectus (no longer manufactured) or Progskeet, and then decrypt it to alter it and fix it, then re--encrypt and reflash the fixed NAND dump onto the vWii's NAND chip. Especially useful due to there not being any vWii version of BootMii.
- Educate yourself on whatever it is you want to do before doing it, do not just follow guides without learning about what each part does. Be lazy and you could pay the price for it someday!
- Again, only mess around with important stuff if you know EXACTLY what you are doing beforehand. It is your own responsibility if you end up bricking anything. As you can see above, there are several things, that if you break them, can only be fixed with hardware programmer + keys from xyzzy.

Now do keep in mind though, if you DO brick your WiiMode vWii, Wii U mode will still function fine, you will just no longer have any Wii Backwards Compatibility though. But still, hopefully this still does not happen to you.

Long story short, all that is needed is some education, plus awareness of what could happen, and some common sense.
Having those unique per-console keys helps too :P
Especially since: performing any sort of "unauthorized technical modifications", AKA any of this, will void your console's warranty! Remember that too.

Mario and Yoshi blast off on a galactic adventure!

Mario is invited to Princess Peach's castle, and on his way notices a strange light in the grass. As he peers cautiously through the reeds, he sees a small, lost Luma. With the baby Luma tucked safely under his cap, Mario rushes on to the castle. But when he gets there, something unexpected is waiting for him...

Collect stars as Mario travels from galaxy to galaxy, working through various levels—sometimes upside-down, sometimes floating from place to place. Mario can also team up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi, who adds a number of possibilities to the gravity-defying gameplay. Power-ups for Mario and Yoshi will give them new abilities to help platform to unreachable areas, or defeat strong enemies. Skilled players will want to collect Comet Metals to unlock harder levels with even more challenges. Play solo or partner up with a friend or family member as you prepare for lift off and discovery!

If you are only seeing bubbles on the homebrew channel, then this here will help you also.

First off, you should (hopefully) already know that the Homebrew Channel is simply a loader of homebrew, it doesn't do an awful lot by itself. You need to download at least one homebrew app and put it on your SD card or USB drive before HBC will become truly useful.

A common choice for a first homebrew is the Homebrew Browser, found here: [wiibrew.org] This piece of homebrew connects to the internet and allows you to download other homebrew apps and games. Go ahead and download it from that page. The file you download will be a ZIP archive. Your OS probably includes a tool for extracting ZIP archives. On Windows, you can right click and choose "Extract all".

Inside, you will find a folder called "homebrew_browser". Within this folder are a few files: the file called "boot.dol" is the actual app itself, the file called "icon.png" is the icon that will be displayed in HBC and the file called "meta.xml" contains a few details about the app (name, author, description etc.) that will be displayed in HBC. The other files are used by Homebrew Browser. Most apps you download will have boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml, although the only essential file is boot.dol (or sometimes boot.elf, depending on the app).

Now on either an SD card or a USB drive, create a folder called "apps". Make sure this folder is not within any other folders, and also make sure the name is all in lowercase letters.

Next copy the "homebrew_browser" folder into the "apps" folder.

Connect your SD/USB device to your Wii and load HBC. If using a USB device, you may need to press 1 on the Wii Remote and change the storage device being used. You should see the Homebrew Browser appearing. Click it and choose "Load".

Enjoy.

1. Exit "World of Warcraft" completely


2. Download the mod you want to install
*Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
*Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
*If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".

3. Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'

Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!

Windows
*Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
*WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
*WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed.

Mac Users
*StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.

4. Verify your WoW Installation Path

That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.

5.Move to the Addon folder
*Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
*Go into the "Interface" folder.
*Go into the "AddOns" folder.
*In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
*The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
*Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder.

6. Start World of Warcraft

7. Now make sure AddOns are installed
*Log in.
*At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
*If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
*If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.


About WOW addons

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatible addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

See also: About "Out Of Date AddOns" Mac Support.

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

How to install mods for Minecraft Forge

(Please read what's in red at the bottom first!)
This guide will explain how to install mods that have been made for the Minecraft Forge API.

1. Make sure you have already installed Minecraft Forge.
(If you haven't here is a link: http://adf.ly/uwq4V)

2. Download a mod for Minecraft Forge from this site, Here is a link below to where to get legitimate mods!
Link: http://adf.ly/v1a4b

3. Locate the minecraft application folder.

*On windows open Run from the start menu, type %appdata%\.minecraft\ and click Run.
*On mac open finder, hold down ALT and click Go then Library in the top menu bar. Open the folder Application Support and look for minecraft.

4. Place the mod you have just downloaded (.jar or .zip file) into the Mods folder.



5. When you launch Minecraft and click the mods button you should now see the mod is installed.




Note*

Some mods will come as an installer. Like From Skydaz as showed in the where to get mods link above, they will come in a .zip or .rar so you just run the program inside and it will automatically install it for you.

Just MAKE SURE you CHOOSE the RIGHT Minecraft VERSION!!!

Last but not least, only install 1 mod at a time. Then go back and check to make sure it works.

My first time, I wanted all the mods. Well all the mods didn't want to work together so I had to go back to point "A" and install them 1 by 1.

It will help in the long run.
Sometimes, 2 mods are incompatible with each other and will make the other crash, you never know. That's why you should be safe and back everything up to start with, and only install 1 mod at a time.

Alright guys, so title states it all.

Post your Creations in the minecraft world here.

Just screenshot, record it, whatever.
We want to see what kind of creativity we have around here. ;)
