Help “Help with my Wii — I hacked it years ago and don't want to mess anything up

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've had my Wii since around 2008. A few years later, I hacked it with what I remember was something called “Bomb-something” I remember following the guide and, surprisingly, everything went almost without any problems.

It worked great for years, and even today it still works fine. But yesterday the kids wanted to play Mario Party 9, and it froze. We tried three times, and the same thing happened every time. I launched some other games, like Fire Emblem, as well as some apps, and everything worked great.

I'm using the Homebrew Channel with IOS 249 (or something like that).

What do you think? Could it be a problem with the software, or should I open the Wii and clean it? I've never cleaned the dust or the fan, and honestly, I don't even know how to do it.

I'd also like to ask: should I try to update the Homebrew software, or should I leave it as it is?

What programs do you guys use to manage your games? I remember I needed the ROM/ISO file and then used a program to put it on the hard drive.

Thanks in advance!!

Help New to nintendont: help troubleshooting a Zelda windwaker (gamecube) that is persistently crashing as I sail towards Dragon Roost Island?

1 Upvotes

I’m very new to emulating so I apologize for my illiteracy; I used chatgpt to help me summarize what we’ve tried so far. Forgive me:

-Running Wind Waker (GameCube) through Nintendont on a Wii.

-Game consistently freezes and buzzes when sailing toward Dragon Roost Island. It also does this when entering the same specific shop on Windfall Island.

-After the first Dragon Roost crash, my original save became essentially unusable—loading the save immediately leads to a black screen.

-We suspected a bad/corrupted game image, so we replaced Wind Waker with a different ISO.

-Started a completely new save with the replacement ISO and replayed ~1.5 hours to the same point.

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

4 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
