How can I get my old homebrew mods working on my new Wii? - Woman Using Laptop Inside an Office

I have two Wii consoles, my old one and a new one. The old one can't read disks (it makes clicking sounds) so I would like to move to the new one.

I have Homebrew set up on my old Wii, with downloaded mods on an SD card. When I put the SD card in my new Wii and go on Homebrew, none of the mods work, but if I swap it back, they still work on my old Wii.

How can I get my mods working on my new Wii?


Further clarifications upon request:

  • Both Wiis are capable of playing Gamecube games.
  • Serial numbers for both consoles:
    • New Wii: lu83699349
    • Old Wii: lu53920826.
  • They both have the '7' in the box

I have seen that you cant just transfer one SD card over from one system to the next.

I'm pretty sure you need to re-download the homebrew channel to the new Wii, but I could be wrong.

Why is homebrew not working Wii?

System updates are dangerous to a Wii console with homebrew installed on it. The update can "brick" the system or force you to restore the Homebrew Channel. However, some game disks contain a system update and won't let you play the game until your console installs the patch.
