i have been trying to resolve this for months, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
while updating my wii i removed the homebrew channel and now i cant install it again, bannerbomb does not work, i get the bootmii screen and i still have the usbloader gx channel, but i cant update or install any other homebrew. can i install the homebrew channel from bootmii? or from the usbloader gx? i believe it has an option to launch homebrew apps, am i screwed?

Yes you can install HBC from bootmii. Just put bootmini.elf from the Hackmii installation in the root of your SD card and in bootmii choose the SD card function and launch bootmini.elf.

This should mostly be a problem with sdhc cards, just about everything supports different sdhc cards. If you are really using a sd card, i'm glad it works now for you.

i am ctually using a 1g micro sd card with the adaptor, and it works only for homebrew,not for the wii system menu. that is why i think it could be an ios ro cios problem. i tried several cards before hc ond non-hc and neither work. well, i am glad i can still use all my stuff from a usb stick, althoug a would still like to be able to use sd cards, since theyre usually faster.

Hmm, i got a new idea. Do you use a Mac? If yes, your sd cards are most likely formatted with GUID instead of a MBR, which is something that shouldn't be supported by any homebrew.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous
