Hacking bushing did it - NTSC Semi-brick fix disc

By popular request –

I’ve made a disc which will hopefully fix any NTSC Wii that got bricked by an imported Mario Kart game (or similar). It is an ISO with one partition — an update partition — and it contains three files:

* IOS30-64-v1040.wad
* SystemMenu-v289.wad
* __update.inf:

System Menu v289 is the newest NTSC version of the system menu available on Nintendo’s download servers; it’s what you will get if you go into the Settings Menu and perform an update. I packed it into a WAD, and maintained the original, valid Nintendo signature, so it should be safe to install. (The disc, however, is fakesigned. This should not be a problem.)

I’m including IOS30 as well, just in case — it’s what this system menu uses. I would expect all systems out there to already have it installed, but hey.

Obligatory warning — I have tested this on 3 Wiis and it seemed to work fine, but I can’t make any promises that it won’t brick your Wii. It contains no safeguards; use this ONLY on an NTSC (US) Wii. If you use it on an NTSC/J or Pal Wii, it WILL BRICK you. (If there is a need, I can make similar discs for those systems.)

Good luck!

Awesome !

I tried extracting the ISO but apparently it's not a supported type.

What the...?

It would be really easy to make a PAL/JAP disc for those regions, it's just replacing IOS and Systemmenu with the PAL/JAP one, no ?

Yeah, hopfully bushing can fix that.

You'll just need to wait untill bushing takes note that extracting it doesn't work.

I think it would try to update your wii.

prinzhernan · May 17, 2008

Can you make one for a bricked jap wii please? I installed the damn SSBB-U on it and it semi-bricked my options.

CPOStudios · May 17, 2008

It's so hard to tell which damn letters have cats on them on Rapishare... I hate it. Requesting rehost elsewhere. I've received the error message about 6 times.

EDIT: I eventually got it, but I'm sure people would appreciate a mirror, for those who can't stand Rapidshare.

Can this be used for the simple purpose of updating my Wii firmware? I have no other feasible way of updating it and my FW version doesn't seem to like any non-VC channels.

phaerun · May 17, 2008

that update is simply the latest update from nintendo for ntsc-u. its pretty much like connecting to the nintendo server and asking it to perform an update for you.

CPOStudios · May 17, 2008

Alright, I had a semibricked Wii from Mario Kart PAL, ran the update from this ISO, and it's now fixed. Thank you SO much for this, my Wii is perfect now.

samsam12 · May 17, 2008

can you guys release it into a wad. i dont have a modded wii but when i played mario kart wii PAL with a freeloader my wii got semi-bricked. i cant extract the iso, its not letting me

I'm not sure why everyone here is having problems extracting the rar, I just tried and it works without any problems. You aren't trying to "extract" the ISO after unraring it, are you?

I assume that they're trying to extract the ISO for exchange purposes, like placing PAL-System-WAD's, instead of NTSC ones onto the ISO.

Except this menu is the legitimate nintendo one, and is a wad, and is installed automatically by the wii.

... Well now my post is redundant as mark187 deleted his post.
