    Hardware Unmodded, factory stock launch day Wii - System Files Corrupted

    OK, so I've got BootMii and HBC installed. The longest part of it was reformatting the SDHC card I had in my video camera to use for the Wii (block sizes weren't default). It's late and I have work in the morning so this will continue... Maybe tomorrow. LOL

    Fortunately, in complaining about it to my brother, he said he has the Wii he had for his kids that he replaced with a Wii U cuz they wanted newer games. So I'm grabbing that off him. Actually, I'm about to run out the door to grab it. I'm gonna mod that one. :)

    Yeah, that's what I did. Didn't work, sadly. https://goo.gl/photos/uow7Hgpt2VLPycPm6

    I did try that as well. I think this one may be borked more deeply than most.

    Been there done that, multiple videos. It's no go. If I get a chance I'll even make a video of what I'm doing, but my daughter is sleeping on my shoulder right now. auto For the record, I appreciate the help. This thing is frustrating me. If it were a PC or Android device I'd be done. LOL

    Nope, just came up with the corrupted system files screen again.

    Tried that repeatedly last night. Didn't work. That's what got me to the GameCube controller trick.

    Yeah, that's more money. If I can find one for $30 I'm OK. I just called a used shop that had SYSTEM ONLY, no cables or anything, $92. LOL No. I can get a full system at GameStop for $79.99.

    I live in the land of GameStop... :( auto This is what it looks like around me: I called Digital Press and they're selling them used for $59.99. If I found one for $25 I'd jump on it today, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

    $25? Cheapest I've found here in New Jersey is $35 on Craigslist and it's further away than $5 in gas would get me. And you're in Canada, so that's only like US$4. Where'd you find a deal like that?

    So I've got this poor little Wii that doesn't want to work. I haven't used it in a while but my son wanted to play Mario Kart the other day, so I went to set it up for him. Wii boots up, hit A on the health and safety screen, and boom. (that's not my TV, just an image I grabbed of the 'Net)...
