    Gaming is it normal for homebrew apps to freeze up my wii

    The OP seriously confused me for a minute until I realised this is a 15 year old thread. Please Look At The Dates In The Top Left Corner Of Posts Before Necroing A 15 Year Old Thread. It's Best To Start A New Thread. Also, Don't Type Like This. It's Beyond Irritating To Read. You Don't Need To...

    Hacking i can't access to wii settings to check wii version

    Worth the try I suppose, although I'd be extremely intrigued as to why it's 4.2 in 2025. One possible explanation could be an extremely amateurish region change, perhaps surrounding the intrigue that 4.2 seems to have given it was the most "aggressive" against Homebrew.

    Hacking i can't access to wii settings to check wii version

    The SD menu icon is present, which means this is a >4.0 menu. Almost certainly 4.3. Also quite hilarious that there are two Weather and News channels. I'm guessing that's the result of an amateurish region change. Never seen that before but I'm not aware of how common or uncommon it is.

    Hacking Black Screen on Wii Menu Startup

    As you're still able to launch software, it's not a Bluetooth module issue, as the system would just fail to boot. Module bricks largely mimic low-level bricks. From the sounds of it (and as you've already identified), the symptoms match some sort of corrupted IOS, so I would ask your friend...

    Hacking Figuring out my Wii's batch + A few other questions

    Hello everyone, it's been a while. I remember some time back I attempted to find what batch my Wii belongs to, sadly to no avail. It's an old white Wii, GC-compatible of course, and it has BootMii installed as Boot2, which obviously dates this Wii to at least summer 2008. I remember being very...

    Homebrew Misc vWii system settings functionality

    I've bought a used Wii U without the gamepad as I purely want to play Wii games on it so I can retire my Wii and enjoy the HD. I knew you needed the gamepad to set the console up but the Wii U was sold with this already done. I have only just realised that I would be unable to configure the...

    Wii2Hdmi: Picture not taking full screen

    These Wii2HDMI dongles are only useful if your TV physically doesn't support AV or SCART. They can't magically make the Wii's output HD, you are essentially looking at 480i/p through a HDMI connection. If anything the original AV/SCART output is the higher quality one. Get a Wii U if HD is...

    Hardware My precious wii became a brick...

    Congratulations on necroing a four month old thread just to call OP a liar with no evidence, and telling people to stop replying to a thread that they stopped replying to months ago. Trolls see trolls everywhere, go away.

    Old Action Replay Ocarina channel?

    I have good news! It turns out these are the droids- I mean channels, I was looking for. It's the action replay-themed channel. A quick shazam revealed the theme to be Bla Bla Bla by Gigi D'agostino - made in the year 2000, so I was a little off the mark with the early-mid 90s thing. Thanks for...

    Old Action Replay Ocarina channel?

    I'm 90% sure I got them from a video, which is where I looked first, but YT is now sanitised and littered with those 'how to download Homebrew on your Wii' things that are 15 years too late to the party. Definitely wasn't Gecko OS. This was 100% a forwarder for the original Ocarina app that...

    Old Action Replay Ocarina channel?

    Hello fellow hackers! The title of this thread might confuse you, so let me explain. In my second hacking phase of 2015, I got into custom channels and such things. I remember downloading a few forwarders to the old Ocarina app (which of course had been obsoleteware for a while by then). Two...

    Hardware My precious wii became a brick...

    It's been a while since I've dabbled in Wii Homebrew, but to my memory, what you're describing is some variation of the 003 error brick, perhaps the reverse scenario. This brick is one of the hardest to repair without Bootmii/Boot2 or Priiloader and a NAND backup. Go to the link to see suggested...

    Joe Biden is now officially the 46th President of the United States of America

    Latino and white aren't mutually exclusive. Latino is a cultural term independent of race. You can have white, black and native latinos, although most are a mix to some degree. On the topic of language, immigrants should learn English. It would be rightfully considered rude and disrespectful if...

    The future of cash

    As long as illegal transactions happen, paper money will continue to exist. Maybe in 50+ years time it will slowly decline and more illegal trade will move to cryptocurrency over time (which already happens; 1/3rd of bitcoin is used for silk road and if done properly it's hard to trace) as the...
