Hi Guys I was just on reddit and was sent here for assistance. I'm new to homebrew on the wii. I did have homebrew on a PSP-1000 back in the day. So when a friend asked if I would take a look at their wii that no longer works I said sure. I did some google-fu and didn't seem to find the correct information out there. It doesn't help that I haven't done this before nor is the system at a clean state... so I'm not sure where to go from here...
Here is where I'm at...
The Wii boots up to a menu with the options:
Systemmenu, Homebrew Channel, Installed File
Load/Install File, Systemmenu Hacks, Settings
At the bottom I have a status display with some info.
Error Autobooting systemmenu! Could not open boot file!
IOS v60, Systemmenu v449 Preloader v0.29(beta v1)
So far none of the options seem to really do much... My friend claims they attempted to update it via nintendo...
Any advice or things to watch out for (bricking the wii) would be greatly appreciated!
Some info from the reddit post:
Attempting to launch the system menu option just flashes the screen and brings me back to square one.
Attempting to launch the homebrew channel gives me an error that states Error autobooting HBC, maybe title not installed.
There are a slew of items on the SD card.
apps
fceugx
forward_v2
genpus
priiloader
snes9x
usb-loader
WAD
boot.dol
hacks.ini
hacks_hash.ini
icon.png
META.XML
No nand.bin could be found anywhere. Installing the boot.dol didn't seem to help.
If I attempt to launch "Installed file" I receive cIOSPAGHETTI(Cios Infected) IOS detected, Abort mission...
