    Hacking Wii screen constantly flickering - homebrew at fault?

    So my Wii is running Homebrew, and for some time I've had a problem where the screen flickers constantly, blacks out for a moment, comes back, blacks out, etc. Even when it works the initial black loading screen tends to have a few artifacts.

    Hacking Which external hard drive for Wii?

    Is there still a list of which external hard drive are compatible with the Wii? There used to be a Wiki one on here, I think, but I can't find the bloody thing anywhere. I bought a cheap one, but when I plug it in the Wii loses display, which is slightly irritating It's only the enclosure...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Tried using USB Loader GX to back up a game onto a thumb drive (as a test – it corrupted my partition table last time I used it on an external HDD), and both times I tried it, it got up to 100% but didn't move from there – the 'time remaining' just kept rising, and the console didn't respond as...

    Hacking Getting a black screen on wii system menu

    Ok, so I just used WiiSCU to update the shop channel (just chose IOS 61 and shop channel, nothing else) on my 4.2 menu (upgraded through one of the guides on here), and now whenever I go into the wii setting under 'menu' I get a black screen with the menu music still playing in the background...

    Hacking Update to 4.2 seems incomplete...

    Thanks - though I didn't think gecko actually updates the IOS, rather does something so you don't need it? Is there any downside to doing this over installing the new ios?

    Hacking Update to 4.2 seems incomplete...

    Ok, I updated to 4.2 via one of the guides, forget which one. My system menu says it's on 4.2E, however I tried to play 'mario and sonic at the winter olympics' and it says I need an update. Additionally, my wii shop channel also says I need an update – any idea what I'm missing?

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away
