I looked up what you recommended, and it does seem to be a very high quality drive, but it has SO MUCH SPACE. Is there a version that has less than 500 gigs? thanks.
I've used WD Passport 500GB, I don't know if the new 1TB ones work though.
Hey guys,
I'm sure there's been at least 300 other people that have asked similar questions here so please bear with me. I've finally gotten my Wii out of the box I've kept it in over 2 years in order to finally play some games.
But when I turn my Wii on with an SD card, I just get a black screen and repeating blue flashes along the Wii's disk slot/tray. When I turn my wii on without the SD card, however, I can freely access the system menu.
Something to note is that without the SD card, I'm still able to access Priiloader. But with the SD card, I can't (this might just be due to me fucking up by pressing and holding the RESET button either too early or too late)
I have a NAND and key backup from when I first installed BootMii back in 2015. I did a chkdsk /f on the SD card, and while it worked after with the card in, I put the SD back into my computer to back everything up and reformat the whole drive to deal with some corrupt or undeletable files (I obviously then placed everything back in the SD card). From what I know, no major files were corrupted (like the nand.bin).
Is this a brick? And more importantly, can it be fixed?
Hello.
Please can you try to read the SD Card on an PC ? And could you be so kind and post an screenshot from the Folder/Content of it please ? To get sure it is not the SD Card itself.
Thank you.
Thank you.This is the root folder of my sd card if that's what you're looking for (August 2015 was when I originally homebrewed my Wii, June 17th was when I reformatted and backed up my SD card.

Thank you.
Can you copy this content to another SD Card and try this one please ? To exclude that maybe your SD Reader from the Wii is broken.
Thank you.
Sounds like your booting into bootmii but the video mode isn't being displayed on your wii. Use a bootmii config editor or manually edit it in notepad to try a different video mode.
Edit: or just rename the bootmii folder to something different, but you will want access to bootmii for brick protection so just renaming will solve the immediate problem of loading the system menu but not the root problem.
Thanks all.
Have started the mod process using ModMii. Have run through the various options that created the files to copy onto the sd card and have a html guide included on the disk (copied the text to pastebin dot com forward slash YSTyFbyr)
I have formatted the disk as MS-DOS (FAT) and master boot record, copied the files from within the "COPY_TO_SD" folder to the SD card) so the root of the card has 4 folders and 5 files. I have inserted this to the Wii and then turned on the Wii
I have moved onto the stage "Hacking your WiI / Installing The Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii"
This tells me to go to "Go to the "Messageboard" on your Wii and navigate to Yesterday. Click on the envelope with the pink Bomb icon."
I follow those instructions but after clicking on the envelope, i just see a black screen - have waited 10 minutes and nothing changes.
Have I done something obviously wrong?
PS, when I click on the sd card menu, I don't see any files, just 20 pages with grey boxes, no filenames or anything viewable.
I have also run through the Modmii app twice, carefully checking the settings each time.
Thanks. Have used a Windows machine to reformat the SD card and have been able to install the homebrew channel.Please try it again with an FAT32 formatted SD Card.Not to big (2 - 16 GB SD).Copy all files over to it you do not need to do ModMii again.
Thank you.
Thanks. Have used a Windows machine to reformat the SD card and have been able to install the homebrew channel.
The final part that I am now stuck on is loading an ISO.
