I'm not sure what caused it... I doubt it was the Nintendo update. :S

I haven't been able to find much info about this problem on the 'net... can't find anything in this thread either. (I hope!)

I recently upgraded to System Menu 4.2E. Soon after the install, I experienced a strange issue when attempting to load retail games - I would have to wait ~10 seconds before clicking 'Start' on the Disc Channel, otherwise the Wii would restart after loading. Strangely, this has resolved itself.

However, my homebrew no longer works. HBC was not deleted, but it will not load any apps. Some will hang during the 'Loading' screen, or will hang with a black screen. All the official Nintendo products work fine - BBC iPlayer, retail games, World of Goo...

I have tried removing HBC and re-installing with Bannerbomb v2. This failed with the same issue. I have never installed BootMii. I have a late-2008 model Wii.

Any help getting my NetHack to work again is appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Lucas Jones.]]> lucjon Homebrew GeneralSun, 29 Nov 2009 22:39:12 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42902#msg-42902 Re: -- Wii System Update 4.2 Mega Topic --http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42902#msg-42902
Seriously though, I reinstalled the new HBC and BootMii (but not the new DVDX, because as far as I know the only modification there was changing the title ID.)

@Arikado

Well, either my Gecko OS is outdated or something happened because it didn't offer to install the updates.
I'd bet on the first one.]]> Arikado Homebrew GeneralThu, 26 Nov 2009 16:51:20 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42581#msg-42581 Re: -- Wii System Update 4.2 Mega Topic -- 003 error fix?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42581#msg-42581
My partner's dad just got her a wii from overseas for her birthday. Inside the box was a little paper in non-english writing and then "SOFTCHIP".
She played 2 games, went to the wii shop and updated it to 4.2 firmware.
It now says "003 unauthorized use..." :(

After some research on the net to understand a little more about the wii (never used one before), I can tell you that;

It will not get past that error (black screen, white 003 error)
I cannot get into HBC if it is installed...
It seems as though it is a Korean console (serial starting with LKM)
I tried the 'hold reset while powering on' and it doesn't do anything
I used a GC controller, pressing all 4 directional buttons and it bypasses the error but then displays a black screen with "4.2(USA)" on the bottom right corner.

Apparently, you can change the title ids to dvdx and the HBC to fix this. No idea how this could be achieved.
I have also heard this is un-fixable until a 4.3 game comes out.

What can I try to get it to load again? If you do have any solutions please explain in detail as you are speaking to someone new at touching a Wii.

Thanks in advance!

Some games Wii Sports Resort for Ex. can't play without updates, EVEN when they are run on Gecko OS.

They will give a blue screen Saying something like:

Conclusion 2: Success with Ice

Contradiction.
And depending on what you consider "old hacks" may make whatever point you were attempting to make false.

Updating to 4.2 or, as I call it, 4.11/2 (the NSMBWii update) is practically jumping over fire.

Clown = You and your Wii
Start = 4.1 and lower
Fire = Update
Old Homebrew and other hacks = Ice
New Homebrew and other hacks = Rocks
Goal = 4.2 or 4.11/2

Now here's the problem.

The Clown jumps from the Start to the Goal.

Conclusion 1: Successful jump while holding Rocks

The Clown jumps over the Fire and arrives at the Goal with his Rocks.

Conclusion 2: Successful jump while holding Ice

The Clown jumps over the Fire and arrives at the Goal, but his Ice melts.

Conclusion 3: Failure

The Clown jumps over the Fire and doesn't make it to the Goal, therefore landing on the Fire and dying.

Conclusion 4: Withdrawl

The Clown decides not to jump and wait until the Fire is extinguished.

Now replace the nouns.]]> ChReNiC Homebrew GeneralMon, 23 Nov 2009 05:50:23 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42048#msg-42048 Re: -- Wii System Update 4.2 Mega Topic --http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42048#msg-42048 SifJar Homebrew GeneralSun, 22 Nov 2009 18:21:08 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42044#msg-42044 Re: -- Wii System Update 4.2 Mega Topic --http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,35547,42044#msg-42044 Lolbutts Homebrew GeneralSun, 22 Nov 2009 18:04:17 +0100
