Hello, unfortunately I made a mistake by installing Darkcorp v1.1 full and letting it replace all my ios'. Now when I boot up the HBC it is upside-down and when I press 1 on the wiimote to bring up the settings all of the options except "close" and "ok" give me a DSI exception. On top of that the HBC won't recognise my SD card anymore. I tried other ones and same problem. Any suggestions?

Download ModMii install it then run it and choose ModMii wizard then choose to update outdated softmods follow the instructions it will give you a pack of wads batch install all of them with the wad manager of your choice. https://sourceforge.net/projects/modmii/
It's hard to use a wad manager when you don't have a functioning HBC, thats my problem. I was thinking maybe instal bootmii as boot2 and replace that with a wad manager and install the clean IOS wads.

You will just have to navigate the upside down HBC. I've done it before.
Also, you should never install Darkcorp. It's a really bad idea since it replaces every IOS with the same file and might cause compatibility issues, even with games you own. It's not even needed, if you just want to launch burned discs from System Menu you can do so by installing Priiloader and forcing system menu and game IOS to 249. That will still have the same compatibility issues, but at least it's not making big changes to the system.

I recommend using a USB loader instead though. It won't have those compatibility issues, and you can still load burned discs through it if you really want (but why would you want to when HDDs are so much more convenient)

I would recommend undoing everything you did. You can reinstall the original IOS files with Multi-Mod Manager, and use SysCheck ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/syscheck-hacksden-edition.356133/ ) to verify that you got rid of all the patched IOSes.

The HBC is completely unfunctional, it doesn't load usb's or SD/HC's That's why I needed help
Also I want to load burned DVD's because I'm making a professional-esque Pm mod, disc, case and all
And about USB loaders, for some reason none of them work on my wii, Wiiflow can display games but resets when i select them, and usbloadergx doesnt eve recognise my usb when is in either slots

In USB Loader GX you may need to change the active partition in the settings to USB1.
And of course you need a cIOS installed into slot 249 at the bare minimum.

Replace boot.dol (on the root of your SD) with your was manager and then open HBC. This should load you directly to the manager and allow you to fix your mistake.

You must be confusing it with the 3DS/Wii U. HBC has the .dol embedded in the channel.
boot.dol on the root is only used by game exploits, letterbomb etc.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
