    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt my console is unpatched. I've checked the serial # against multiple sources, and it always comes up good. This is the entire reason I bought this console in the first place. I know the modchip is next to impossible to get, so I've been after a V1...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Ok so I think with my end-game in mind (ie, a Switch console that can play emulated games of most previous generation consoles and play Switch ROMs/backups as well), could somebody tell me if I'd be on the right track if I followed the 2 following howto videos: and...

    Hardware Wii Turns On But No Video Signal -- Not Even A Black Screen

    So to wrap this thread up, I decided that there had to be a board level component failure on the motherboard (like a resistor or something) that had caused the video output port to have failed. I don't possess the board-level-repair skillset necessary to diagnose and repair such a failure, so I...

    Hardware Wii Turns On But No Video Signal -- Not Even A Black Screen

    First off, you can't really put an HDD *in* the Wii. Second off, I already have every intention of plugging a large USB HDD into the Wii with both Wii and GameCube libraries. :)

    Hardware Wii Turns On But No Video Signal -- Not Even A Black Screen

    Thanks for the detailed reply, I appreciate it. This is kind of what I've been afraid of hearing. I haven't had the chance to just clean the contacts yet, but I'm already not feeling very confident that'll work. On the other hand, I've seen somebody say something along these lines and I've...

    Hardware Wii Turns On But No Video Signal -- Not Even A Black Screen

    So I guess I'll go ahead and throw my poor console onto the "Bricked Wii thread that just won't die" thread. My console seems to have a unique problem comparatively. I purchased this console on the cheap as a "parts box" with the seller telling me that he was getting very faint video out of...

    Homebrew USB Loader GX and Nintendont not seeing hard disk

    RunningSnakes, you magnificent bastard. I'd rather throw this out in open forum to give you public props than PM, but dude....THANK YOU. Anybody who takes time out of their day to read through as much BS as I've posted and provide viable solutions deserves to be called out like this...

    Homebrew USB Loader GX and Nintendont not seeing hard disk

    Thanks for lookin over that. I had a feeling it may be the older softmod patches that could be contributing to the problem. Believe it or not, ModMii might be a small problem since it's made for Windows and I actually have all Linux machines in my house right now. If there's a Linux...

    Gaming USB Loader GX and Nintendont not seeing hard disk

    In this case it looks like I need to get WiiFlow installed on my SD card for this console. I'll work on that today.

    Hardware Can't get video output on Wii console

    I just scored what I believed to be a decent console the other day. Dude said he was selling it cause the picture on the TV was very faint, though he said he had a picture. He hadn't tried any other A/V cables so I figured I'd try a few different cables and/or a Wii2HDMI adapter. I plugged...

    Homebrew USB Loader GX and Nintendont not seeing hard disk

    So I've got an interesting issue going on with my console. I'll preface this thread with saying that I've been successful doing this once already, so I know it's possible. I softmodded a Wii a few months ago, installed the homebrew channel, then put some emulators on the SD card, including...

    Hacking Load GC and WII Games from the same USB

    So DiscEx nonwithstanding, I'm well aware that (1) the GC emulator **requires** a USB device to be formatted to FAT32. That being said, FAT32 has a limitation of 4gb for the file size, which some Wii games exceed. Starting from scratch, and using USBLoaderGX for the Wii games and Nintendont...
