Hacking Wii mini unbrick

[Saviouz]

So.. after a lot of hard work to soft mod of the Wii mini, reinstalling the system menu, getting a lan adapter to update all its Homebrew, I managed to brick it while accidentally installing a bunch of wad from my USB hard drive, including ios57-59 from nus. The result is that the Wii Mini doesn't boot anymore, the wiimote is not recognized the menu doesn't start and there's no video output. Which means, no bluebomb either.

I did install Priiloader, does it work without an SD card? If I opened up the Wii Mini and bridge the connection for the reset button, could I still access it and try to reinstall Homebrew?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

I think priiloader would still be accessible so long as you didn't overwrite it by (re)installing a system menu wad. Also the system menu IOS needs to be intact for priiloader to load.

A botched IOS 57 and 58 shouldn't prevent the wii from booting up, so it's likely one of the other wads you installed that is the culprit

he wiimote is not recognized

Hello.

And how to navigate in PRIILOADER without Wiimote ?

My understanding is that the only other option (beyond Wiimote) is an actual GameCube controller. But obviously that won't work on a Wii Mini.

I am not sure but I think @DeadlyFoez shows how to use it in his Videos from the Wii Mini Hacking:
