I just purchased a used Wii. It has Homebrew and USB Loader GX installed amongst other apps. There are about 80 games on an external drive included and I've started a bunch and they all seem to work fine.
My issue is that I cannot access the Wii main menu, so I cannot access any settings or connect to the internet. I don't really know where to start as far as deleting things from the SD card or configuring things inside the loader. I would be fine starting from scratch and wiping the wii but I don't know how to do that without access to the main menu. The only thread I found that might describe my problem had to do with an app called Priiloader (which seems to be installed on this SD card) and its ability to set USB Loader GX as the default menu. I tried going in and accessing the app but none of the buttons on my wiimote did anything (Both of the included Wiimotes are Motion Plus if that is an issue). I tried removing the priiloader folder from the SD card but that didn't change anything. In any event, any opportunity to hit a button that says "Wii Menu" on it just reboots USB Loader GX and reinitializes the external HD. It never takes me to the Wii Main Menu. I've tried taking out the SD card and restarting. The USB Loader GX screen intermittently flashes as if it's looking for the software. But it's obviously the first thing that is configured to boot within the Wii.
I've msg'd the seller and he says that he installed everything years ago (most of the files on the SD card were dated 'added in 2009') and can't really remember much to help. On top of this, the external HD with all the games won't mount on my Mac so I don't have any control over deleting/adding the games included. Again, I bought it to play the games I want to add on, so I don't mind starting from scratch and using an other HD.
Could someone help me configure/modify the current software on the SD card or just get everything wiped so I can reinstall a current version of Homebrew?
I'll get you any system or app version information if it helps! Thanks
