    Hardware Avoid broken SD card connector before it happens!

    At some point, many of you will encounter an issue with your SD cards not being able to be read. If you are lucky, the cable has just come loose from the motherboard. If you are unlucky, the motherboard connector is damaged. The main cause of a broken SD card connector on the motherboard is...

    Hardware Problem With SD Card Reader Seat From Nintendo Switch Mother Board

    The main cause of a broken SD card connector on the motherboard is repeated insertion and ejection of the SD card. There is a single screw that mounts the SD slot daughtercard to the motherboard. As that screw becomes loose, the board can wiggle, and that causes the cable connecting it to the...

    Hacking USB Loader GX + NTFS Part = Black Screen

    Well, I tried creating a WBFS partition on the drive instead and that works with GX, so I know it is not an issue with the drive. I have tried with NTFS using wanin 249 v20, Hermes 222/223 v5, all just stay on black sreen and don't get to the health screen. Going to try Configurable USB Loader now

    Hacking USB Loader GX + NTFS Part = Black Screen

    From the readmii section of the USB Loader GX web site: It shows the games, and the total is correct, but selecting any of them just results in a black screen.

    Hacking USB Loader GX + NTFS Part = Black Screen

    I just set up homebrew on a friends Wii. USB Loader GX works fine if I use my hd that is formatted as WBFS. Since she wanted to be able to use her HD for her PC too I used NTFS for hers and used Wii Backup Manager copy the games from my WBFS partition to the wbfs folder on her drive. When I...

    Hardware Error 002 with NetFlix disk and WiiKey2

    (ah, I see now someone posted that it needs sm 4.2 installed. Does anyone know exactly what IOS the Netflix disk requires to be updated?) If I try to use the (original) Netflix disk through the disk channel on my Wii with WiiKey2, I get a 002 error every time. Any idea why? (using sm 4.1U) I...

    Hardware Recommend me a replacment modchip please.

    The WiiKey didn't need a fix because it has full GC Streaming Audio support built in. The most likely cause is a bad burn, since any glitch in the audio part causes an error. Try a different brand of DVD-R such as TDK, and burn at 2x or 4x. See if that fixes it.

    Hacking Backup Proof Drive (D3-2)

    Umm, dummy, the serial number is listed on the outside of the box too! You don't even have to buy it in the first place if it is one that is known to have the new drive.

    Hacking 4.2 half updated

    If you used the newest hackmii installer it is normal that HBC would still be there. The new hackmii changed the name of HBC. 4.2 looks for the old name and deletes it if it is found. Bannerbomb is disabled on 4.2 if you updated through Ninty. Hence that is why you crash if you try to use...

    Hacking wiimote not connecting on homebrew applications

    Read your Wii manual for how to Sync your Wiimote permanently. A temporary sync will be lost whenever an IOS reload occurs. If you have not sync'ed your remote using the red sync button, you have not done a permanent sync.

    Hacking New SDHC 8GB Toshiba brand

    When you took the SD card out of your computer, did you use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option (assuming Windows)? If not, that is probably your problem.
