DDR pads can of course be used also.

i think games may well go crazy if you push all directions at once, but it can be done on many third party controllers. And also if you remove the tab from first party ones. I'm guessing Nintendo did this, at least partly, due to the issue you describe on SNES

Realy?

What happens in games, when you push two opposing directions at the same time?

On the Super Nintendo you could do quite funny things in Zelda: ALTTP, when you pressed opposing directions at the same time - like finish the game in less then 3 minutes.

Not necessarily. Some third party controllers will let you push all four directions at once, but first party ones have a little "tab" stopping you which must be removed. But I believe most third party controllers wont need to be disassembled. Although some may

I think you still do, but you dont need a tri-wing screwdriver...

A list of (all ?) the system-functions that are affected in Maintenance mode can be found here:

maintence mode does nothing afaik. if you have a banner brick, and you have preloader or bootmii as boot2 installed, then you can just boot HBC and run AnyTitle Deleter to delete the bad channel. But seeing as how the only way to get banner bricked is by installing custom channels, which is illegal, you shouldnt have anything to worry about if you stick to legal stuff.

4 Banner Brick, Cant you just use the maitnence mode hack and load the system menu and update?

Sometimes, but remember this:

SYSTEM MENU UPDATES WON'T FIX BANNER BRICKS. ONLY ANYTITLEDELETER WILL.

using maintenence mode you can use the HBC or other exploits to load ATD

now to end this with a sparrow-like... chirp chirp!

You can downgrade to 3.2 from that without using any warez fail using anyregionchanger if you 3.3v1.

For "Full Bricks" (Opera error screen on boot) you can use a newer own-region game to fix it by updating.

For "Banner Bricks" ("System files are corrupted" message OR Health warning screen freeze) you can:

a) Trucha sign a disc to boot a homebrew application (AnyTitleDeleter) and fix it.
b) Burn a patched, burned Brawl disc, run it and use the upcoming "super stack smash bros" exploit if you have a newer Firmware (3.3<).

Please note that the above "Banner Brick" options both need modchips to work

"Full Bricks" are caused by messing with AnyRegionChanger then updating
"Banner Bricks" are caused by installing WAD's (the less you know about 'em, the better)

Arikado, I have a feeling that this forum is going to become off topic....
Anyways...

So say if I do have a brick or semi-brick, and I mod the controler I can unbrick my wii? how do it?
put it a game or a homemade recovery disk?

Is it a Nintendo controller that you take to parties or is it a third party controller that you glued a Big N on.

True about the OEM thing. I just haven't seen first party used very often or at least in the industry that I am used to (it is known for third party replacements).

Re: what does this do?

daniel_c_w — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:53:58 +0200

I thiunk it is quite clear:

First party = Nintendo
Third party = somebody else, mdacatz, bigben, etc...

both are OEMs, by the way.

I guess the most general term would be: Gamecube Controller from Nintendo.

But the first/third party terminology is common in gaming circles

It boots the Wii into recovery mode.

You can do it by using a third party GC controller or taking the casing off of a first party one.

A first party one? I don't think that is the correct term, I think you mean OEM, or not piece of junk, or maybe by naming the manufacture, something... I read it 4 times before understanding what you meant.

Then this might fix some bricks. just don't install WAD's, "Softmod" fail packages, or anything along them lines, and you will be fine.

see http://savemii.net/troubleshooting.html to find out what it does. it does _NOT_ help you down/upgrade. it is POINTLESS with Bootmii as Boot2 installed

Ok, so what does it do? can you downgrade or upgrade? prevent bricks? nothing?

Whats Savemiifrii?

The name given to the gamecube controller method you stated in your first post. It was given this name since the method performs the exact same action as using a SaveMii device.

I was browing in the forms and i saw saw a post telling some guy to put a game cube controler in the 4th slot and hold down all of the d-pads butons at once. what does that do and how to do you do it when the d-pad only alows you to use one buttion at a time?
