Required a tutorial to how to install this
Could I know a way to install this?
You can see #42 to install an unstable version which would be more recent, or read the README.md file in the main branch for a stable but obsolete version
@Maxbrewgithub write the "wii-jessie-sd.img.xz" file to an SD card in Linux, you can use the dd command along with the xz and pv commands for decompression and progress monitoring.
Make sure you have the necessary tools installed. If they are not installed, you can install them using your package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems, you can use:
bash
sudo apt-get install xz-utils pv
Decompress the Image: Use the xz command to decompress the image:
bash
xz -d wii-jessie-sd.img.xz
This will create a file named "wii-jessie-sd.img" in the same directory.
Identify the SD Card: Before writing to the SD card, make sure to identify the correct device path of your SD card. You can use the lsblk or fdisk -l command to list the available block devices. Be very careful to select the correct device, as writing to the wrong device can result in data loss.
bash
lsblk
or
bash
fdisk -l
Look for your SD card, it will typically be something like "/dev/sdX" where "X" is a letter (e.g., "/dev/sdb", "/dev/sdc", etc.).
Write the Image to the SD Card: Use the dd command to write the image to the SD card. Replace "/dev/sdX" with the actual device path of your SD card:
bash
sudo dd if=wii-jessie-sd.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
if: Input file (the image file).
of: Output file (the SD card).
bs: Block size (you can adjust this based on your preference).
status=progress: Displays the progress of the operation.
Be patient, as writing to an SD card may take some time.
Sync and Eject: After the dd command completes, make sure to sync the file system:
bash
sync
Then safely eject the SD card:
bash
sudo eject /dev/sdX
Now your SD card should be ready with the contents of the "wii-jessie-sd.img" file. You can insert it into your device and boot from it. Make sure to replace "/dev/sdX" with the actual device path of your SD card throughout the process. Double-check your commands and the device path to avoid data loss.
Hey y'all, after a year I figured it out (I lost access to my account now but this is my account)
You didn't, silly
