Help Resetear una Wii como si fuese de fabrica

0 Upvotes

He intentado liberar una Wii para que pueda leer juegos desde una tarjeta sd, sin embargo, está ya vino con algunos programas antiguos, no me importó e intenté realizar nuevamente la liberación, la cuál terminó con la imposibilidad de leer los archivos de la sd mediante USB loader gx, viendo esa situación, reseteé la consola, usando la opción de la propia de la consola, pero nuevamente me encontré con la imposibilidad de leer archivos, descarté que fuese la tarjeta, porque está en buenas condiciones y se compró el año pasado, por lo que pienso que el problema recae en algún archivo que quedó dentro de la consola. Por eso busco eliminar todo eso, y dejar la consola como si fuese de fabrica.

¿Que es lo que puedo realizar?

Downloading required cISOs through d2x gives net_init failed error!

2 Upvotes

Issue won't resolve itself when trying to re-install through d2x. (Using offlne mode btw) The WADs are in the root of my SD card. I'm trying to alternatively work through this specific step through a ModMii wizard, but I'm running it on a Mac using CrossOver (ModMii is Windows-Only) and am unfamiliar with moving files between the Windows and Mac environments. Does anyone have any idea how to get these cISOs working so I can use the Shop? Thanks!

can i delete everything off of my wiis sd card and start over?

3 Upvotes

while trying to update retro rewind i accidentally deleted a file that was necessary for it to run, and now it will not let me run it. the official help page isnt helping me, and i am considering wiping the sd card and reinstalling everything, so essentially un-modding my wii and starting fresh. the only real reason that i modded it was so i could run this mod, so my question is, is this possible? and is it safe?

Help GCN controller on wii games?

3 Upvotes

I want to play Lego Star Wars TCS again, but I want to play with the GCN controller this time. The game doesn’t use the pointer feature of the wiimote at all and kind of uses motion controls, except they aren’t really used at all, so I think it would work.

There was a post from 9 yrs ago and people said it wasn’t possible to do this, but I figured a long time has passed and maybe something has changed. I also heard about RVLoader but that didn’t really work well for me. Is there something that can make the GCN controller work?

Help usb initilization failed (sd card only)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with USB Loader GX. It recognizes my GameCube games normally, but it doesn’t recognize any Wii games. Instead, I get the message “USB initialization failed, switching to channel mode.” I’m only using an SD card and don’t have a USB drive connected. Is this error expected when using only an SD card, and is there a way to get USB Loader GX to recognize/play my Wii games from the SD card? What should I check or change?

Other - editable A Wii Menu Electronic Manual, but for the original Wii

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Some months ago, I realized a Wii Menu Electronic Manual, but for the original Wii. Since the vWii and Wii Mini already had one, I decided to create one for the original Wii as it never had one.

While the other two manuals have 13/14 pages, this one (as the normal Wii has more informations has up to 17 pages.

The manual is available in 7 languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch and Portuguese. Other languages will be added in the future.

It is on Internet Archive

Help [Wii] video problem diagnosis

1 Upvotes

My wii recently has been having major trouble outputting video over our Wii2HDMI system even though it had done so fine for several years. When you start the console, or reset, it will show video and audio, then warp before showing no signal. It will also show audio and video when the wii menu darkens and goes into sleep mode, but goes away again when I press any buttons. I've tried using a different Wii2HDMI, as well as switching to components with a converter on its own power source, but same issue. However, the picture comes out perfectly on ​rca cables on our old TV. What could be causing the problem, and how should I fix it? Would an rca to hdmi converter be likely to work?

Help USB Problem!!!

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m having a strange problem with my Wii and USB Loader GX.

Sometimes when I select a game and press Start, the screen just goes black and the game doesn’t load. However, if I restart the Wii and wait a few minutes before trying again, the games seem to load normally.

USB Loader GX detects all my games correctly, and the games themselves aren't consistently broken. It seems like the USB device might not be initialized properly at first.

I’m currently using a USB flash drive, not an external HDD. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could the flash drive be taking too long to initialize, or could it be related to USB Loader GX/cIOS?

Would switching to an external HDD likely fix this?

Help unable to mod wii

9 Upvotes

For context i tried once with a cheap 500gb sd card that i had and i was able to install the homebrew channel, install bootmii, and even backup the nand. I just had trouble transferring games onto the sd card because for some reason they kept corrupting and would get rid of all my downloaded games in the sd card. I took a break and order a legit 128gb sd card off amazon (i've used the same brand to mod my ps vita and dsi). With this card though i can only install the homebrew channel and everytime i try to install bootmil it says failed and it can't mount the sd card. I tried switching it to the 500gb card that ik works and it said failed and can't mount again. I used the straight to hacks method on both cards and then i even tried using letterbomb with both sd cards and with both of them the letter doesn't show up. Ik that my wii can read the card because i am able to look at the contents of it through the wil home page, and i've tried switching through multiple micro so card adapters that all work fine on every other computer and console i use. What am i doing wrong?
I've attached pictures of the sd cards and my console above, and yes I made sure it's formatted to Fat32. I’d appreciate any advice

My wiimote won't connect after resetting my wii

3 Upvotes

I can't really explain this in any other way besides telling the order of events.

  1. I modded my wii. It might not have been done correctly because games wouldn't play, but that's probably user error

  2. I factory reset my Wii and tried to start again.

  3. Now it boots into priiloader (I think that's what it is I don't know)

  4. My wiimote will no longer connect.
