    Hacking Can't Unrar on Mac

    Keka is the way to go. I tried several rar programs and it was the only one that worked. Frustrating process.

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    First off, thanks for the quick response as it's greatly appreciated. I went back and confirmed I did have the boot.firm file on the SD card but for some reason noticed it was 0 bytes. I went back and put the file back on (145bytes) and everything appears to be working no. Again, thank for...

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Have an issue with my old 3dsxl (was on 4.5u firmware). I followed the instructions for boot9strap (MSET) on 3ds.guide and was able to get through section III ~ and pressed A to reboot my system after all of the security checks and then backup were completed. My device did not reboot back...

    Hacking Wad Mgr/USBLoader Black Screen after dop-ios mod 53 + 55

    Hmmm I actually just upgraded to 1.0.6 HBC so that was one additional change I made to the system. Should I maybe uninstall HBC and reinstall an older version?

    Hacking Wad Mgr/USBLoader Black Screen after dop-ios mod 53 + 55

    Hello, I have a Wii at 3.3u and I installed cios38v14 using USBLoaderGX and have been using it for several months. I was unable to play a few wii ware titles and decided to use dop-ios mod to install ios 53+55 on ios36. The wii ware games are working fine but now when I'm in HBC and I try to...

    Hacking Bricked Wii with Bootmii boot2 by update?

    Did all of the above with fresh SD card and Bootmii folder with no luck. I'm thinking that this is definitely a hardware issue. I'm going to give the big N a call tomorrow to go through the out of warranty fix process. Anyone know how much it typically costs? I've heard 70-85. ZD

    Hacking Bricked Wii with Bootmii boot2 by update?

    So I completed option 1 and 2 with the original SD card I used to do the Zelda hack and another SD card that I used to load up Bootmii at from a prior point. The Wii turns on and drive spins but no output to the TV (still waiting for signal). I'm certain that I did option 4 correctly as I've...

    Hacking Bricked Wii with Bootmii boot2 by update?

    Is there any way to check the PAL to NTSC being switched? I obviously don't have a PAL tv, but was wondering if I could change the bootmii config file or anything else. I'm leaning towards something broken inside the wii but would like to try to determine if I switched it to PAL somehow...

    Hacking Bricked Wii with Bootmii boot2 by update?

    Here is the history: About two weeks ago I started with 2.0U (launch day Wii) system and installed HBC and Bootmii in Boot2 using zelda hack. Played for a few days and installed updated to 3.2U using the downgrader. Everything worked okay, except for the pre-loader, so I updated to 4.0U using...

    Hacking Wii Issue - Bricked or Hardwear Problem

    About to throw this thing out the window. So I was able to get the savemiifrii working twice and one of those times it went to the actual wii system menu. I tried clicking on the homebrew channel and it locked it up. Now when I start my wii it is a crap shoot. Sometimes I get the bootmii...

    Hacking Wii Issue - Bricked or Hardwear Problem

    I'm nearly certain I installed it as boot2 and not IOS. The wii is still not working correctly and the only way to get to the Bootmii screen is when I hold the reset and press the eject button. I don't remember how much noise the Wii makes when it starts up but I sometimes here a few beeps and...

    Hacking Wii Issue - Bricked or Hardwear Problem

    Great link to diagnose the problem! So I can turn the system on using the wiimote so I assume it's not a bluetooth issue. I'm hunting for a GC controller to determine if it's the wifi module. Are those easy to replace?

    Hacking Wii Issue - Bricked or Hardwear Problem

    I'm able to read and write to the nand chip through the Boot Mii screen so I'm thinking it is some other hardware related issues. I've searched everywhere about the "black screen of death" and it seems most people are returning them back to Nintendo.

    Hacking Wii Issue - Bricked or Hardwear Problem

    I've reset the Wii to all nand save points and I'm still getting nowhere. I can get to Bootmii screen but when I try to load up the Wii menu or the HBC just a black screen. When I unplug the SD card with the Boot mii startup still just a black screen. Sometimes I can eject the disk and other...

    Hacking Wii Issue - Bricked or Hardwear Problem

    So, I installed HBC and Boot Mii and saved a backup of my 2.0u system nand. I then upgraded to 3.2u using the downgrader and saved a copy of the nand and played for a few days. I then upgraded to the 4.0u using waninkoko update and saved the nand. I played the Wii for a few days and recently...
