Remotes won't work after game update with Homebrew installed Hi! None of my Wiimotes work after game-updating with Homebrew installed. I can't find information on this as related to Wii updates from games, including whether this is considered "bricked" or not, even after looking at this page: [forum.wiibrew.org] This all happened when I went to play Wii Sports Resort. I had tried it before Homebrew to make sure the WiiMotes with MotionPlus built in were good, but this was the first time since Homebrew. (I just bought this used Wii for Christmas and updated it to 4.3U before installing Homebrew.) It asked about an update. I hesitated, but my daughter wanted to play so I did it. Her Wiimote started disconnecting after a few minutes and now I can't get any of the 4 Wiimotes (which were working before the update) will connect. They blink and then turn off. I wouldn't mind doing a full factory reset but I can't get to the menu system without the remotes, right? I've tried powering off/on the Wii with no change. I've tried synching the remotes with the red buttons. No go. I've tried unplugging the Wii for a while as I read somewhere and that didn't work either. I have since read about StartPatch to avoid this from happening again, but what can I do now?

Try to sync a wiimote by tapping the red button on the wii followed by the red button on the back of the wiimote.]]> tueidj FixMiiThu, 02 Jan 2014 05:13:11 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,74097,74097#msg-74097 Remotes won't work after game update with Homebrew installedhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?22,74097,74097#msg-74097
