Re: Semi bricked wii Opera Error when accessing settings - 13 years ago
AnyRegion Changer is not an option. Update from any NTSC-U game with 4.2 or 4.3.by jbc007 - FixMii
Re: Semi bricked wii Opera Error when accessing settings - 13 years ago
Please post your SysCheck log. From this, I can ascertain whether it is possible to launch AnyRegion Changer.by jbc007 - FixMii
Re: Semi bricked wii Opera Error when accessing settings - 13 years ago
4.3 is fine. AnyRegion Changer is preferable compared to updating from a game; however, it must be fakesigned. If you have a trucha bugged IOS 60, you can make an autoboot AnyRegion Changer disc (we can discuss this if IOS 60 does have the trucha bug). If your IOS 60 has the trucha bug, I strongly recommend you take this option. If not, though, you will have to update from a game.by jbc007 - FixMii
Re: Question about saving and restoring save files - 13 years ago
QuoteArikadoIIRC Savegame Extractor/Installer requires cIOS 249 to work. That's why I made Savegame Manager MOD; So people could use any IOS they wanted so long as it had NAND permissions (many older IOSs do so no patching is required unlike the original programs). That was Savegame Manager. Savegame Extractor/Installer require the use of the game disc, thereby getting the necessary permiby jbc007 - Homebrew General
Re: Using Gecko Codes with Paper Mario - 13 years ago
This is referring to your serial number, which is on the bottom of the wii. If it starts with LU64 or higher (for NTSC-U wiis, I don't know the equivalent serial numbers for the other regions), don't downgrade IOS. Launch DOP-Mii through the HBC just like any other application: SD:\apps\DOP-Mii\boot.dol.by jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Semi bricked wii Opera Error when accessing settings - 13 years ago
That is what I suspected. Updating to 4.2/4.3 from a game is what you need to do to fix it. The question is which region game to use. I would say NTSC-U for sure, but since it reports you already have an NTSC-U system menu, it is possible you need the PAL update. I recommend you try updating from an NTSC-U game first. If it does not fix the problem, you can then update from a PAL game. Howeby jbc007 - FixMii

Re: Preventing update's - 13 years ago
I really would not worry about an update bricking your wii. I strongly believe that error 003 is just a special case, but again, I am not in a position to make any guarantees. In any case, if you have Bootmii/boot2, nothing except a boot2 update/modification could remove it (this has only happened twice so far), and as long as you have Bootmii, you can recover from any brick.

Re: Preventing update's - 13 years ago
If you want to disable updates, enable the appropriate Priiloader, Starfall, or StartPatch patch. You will need both the block disc update check and block online update patches. However, an update really shouldn't pose a risk (though especially after Error 003, we can't really guarantee anything about future updates). All the same, it is unlikely that Nintendo will ever brick a wii sby jbc007 - Getting Started

Re: Semi bricked wii Opera Error when accessing settings - 13 years ago
That is very odd. For safety reasons, I will not suggest a course of action until I know exactly what the situation it. Could you remind me again what caused this issue? Did you ever region change you wii? Also, if this happened after an update, what region of what game did you update from (or was it an online update, though this would be unusual)?by jbc007 - FixMii
Re: Semi bricked wii Opera Error when accessing settings - 13 years ago
Now I'm confused. I though your wii originally had an NTSC-U system menu and you installed the PAL update. Is your wii supposed to be NTSC-U or PAL (or a different region, for the matter)? Either way, you will be able to fix it, and you will still need the SaveMii dongle. However, it is necessary first to determine which region your wii is supposed to be.by jbc007 - FixMii
Re: Question about saving and restoring save files - 13 years ago
Loadmii might work. Otherwise, you could install an older HBC (I don't know which was the last revision that would load Savegame extractor/installer). Since it has a different title ID, HBC 1.0.8 can be installed at the same time as an older revision, so you will not need to switch between HBC revisions whenever you want to use such old applications. Of course, you will need system menu 4by jbc007 - Homebrew General

Re: DVDx 3.4, BootMii and Homebrew on 4.3u wii - 13 years ago
New disc drives are unable to read DVDs. Most likely, this was yet another of Nintendo's unsuccessful attempts to prevent piracy. Though interestingly, these drives first appeared shortly after pirates found other ways to run their pirated games. Obviously, this completely nullified the purpose of the newer drives. Aside from installing an older drive in your wii, there is nothing you caby jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Using Gecko Codes with Paper Mario - 13 years ago
DOP-Mii. That is all you need. Launch it through the latest revision of the HBC and select use IOSxx + AHBPROT when it loads. Then install IOS 36 v1042. Again, don't do this if you are using an "LU64+" wii.by jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Upgrading from to 4.3 from 3.x - 13 years ago
You certainly could update if you want. Bootmii/boot2 will be removed by the update, but it can be reinstalled. Additionally, all homebrew that relies on fakesigning will no longer work. This includes most applications that make any sort of modification to the wii, and a few others. Since there is no benefit to updating, you could launch the disc through Gecko OS or patch the system menu withby jbc007 - Getting Started

Re: Unable to get to Wii settings - 13 years ago
This is a region issue. It has nothing to do with the mod chip (though the mod chip could have allowed you to perform an update from an imported disc, which would cause this). Use DOP-Mii to install a system menu for your region and the system menu's IOS (IOS 60 and system menu 4.1, for example).by jbc007 - Getting Started
Re: Conversion's the solution, gonna spin it 'till I win it! (Error 101246) - 13 years ago
SNEEK is unsupported here. As for Comex's NAND Formatter, usage is very easy. To keep things simple, use NUS Downloader to download IOS 60 v6174, system menu 4.1U, and the NTSC-U region select. Have it pack these into WADs, and place them in a folder called wad on the root of the SD card. Finally, go to the SD card section in Bootmii and have it launch the formatter. It is that simple.by jbc007 - Homebrew General
Re: Conversion's the solution, gonna spin it 'till I win it! (Error 101246) - 13 years ago
If the NAND backup came from the same wii, and you absolutely know that it works, restore it. This is probably safest. However, if there is any question as to whether the NAND backup works, use Comex's NAND formatter. Comex's NAND formatter formats the NAND and then installs any WADs in the wad folder. It is as simple as that. It has sometimes been known to fail, which is why resby jbc007 - Homebrew General
Re: Anyone here using the latest Wii firmware is able to use savegame backup programs? - 13 years ago
I suspect that everything worked correctly (I have not used this latest revision of DOP-Mii myself). Did you install IOS 36 in the usual (IOS 36) slot, or in some other slot (IOS 236, for example)? The video seemed to indicate DOP-Mii showing that you do not have IOS 36 installed; though that might have just been off of the screen. In any case, make v1042 is installed to the IOS 36 slot (you cby jbc007 - Homebrew Applications

I'm not sure what an uncorrectable page is, but I doubt that you need to worry about. For 4.3, install IOS 36 v1042 and the latest revisions of IOS 58 and 80. IOS 30 is not necessary on 4.3.by jbc007 - Getting Started
