Need some help guys. I really don't feel like buying another Wii. So I'm not sure what happened. I forgot to back up my files and such. But we still have PriiLoader installed on the Wii it's self. I heard you don't need a SD card and it's on the system by default once you installed it, etc. I have a question, is it possible to get the Home Menu back in the settings? I am currently looking for my Wii plug so I can try to troubleshoot it and get it unbricked if it's even possible. I have a Backwards Compatible Wii that play's GameCube games and would like to fix it and use it to backup my GameCube games and Wii games on Dolphin. And since Twilight Princess PC Port. Courage Reborn and Dusk is coming out. I just joined their Discord server too. I would rather feel safer backing up my own physical copy of the game I legally own if that makes sense and do it that way. I think my brother accidentally bricked the Wii by mistake. Now all of a sudden the Menu is gone. PS Little Bro has a Disability so apologies and sincere. Go easy on him please. 😞

Not sure what he clicked. Is there a way to get it back or am I fucked? I heard people have managed to get it back before so I'm just curious how. Thank you. 😞 It's also a black Wii and those can be rare too. So thanks in advice guys. Would appreciate some info. 😞 On low income right now and I have a 32gb SD card. Teaches me to back up my shit. 😞 Sorry. T_T And if there is by chance, a miracle. How do you factory restore the system to its original state? I still have lots to learn so I apologize. 😞 Not my fault on this one. 😞 Really enjoyed that system too. Thank you for any advice. If I cant managed to get it fixed might have to stop by my Retro game store and see if they got another one in stock and I'll make sure I'll be careful this time. Thanks in advice!!! ^_^
 
Hey dude,

first off: As long as Priiloader still works, you should be fine :) No need to worry.
Can you please give us a more detailed description on the current state of your console?

What happens when you power it on?

Just to get you all prepared: You will definitely need an SD Card to fix this properly.

Thank you!!! :D I'm about to order a new Wii Plug first then I can get you guys the information you need. I have a 32GB ONN SD Card should that be fine? I know for a FACT my brother installed Priiloader on it because I have memories when he did it. :) I want to play my games again. T_T Last time I booted it up it went to a black loading screen/menu on boot up that can STILL let you play GameCube games which is weird. Is that still a good sign??? I also don't know how to do a Syscheck either. T_T It's been awhile. :( I remember pushing the Power and Reset button and it brought it to the Menu. I don't know what kind of Menu that is. Apologies. :( Still learning. If GameCube games are running fine. Is that a good sign? :( Wind Waker was running perfectly fine the last time I played it. It was showing cheat menu and everything else. Etc.
 
SD card sounds fine.
I really don't understand your error description. Just give us the details once you have the power supply and can actually test the console.

Thanks. Might be awhile before I get the plugin and the Wii2HDMI adapter. :) Lost the OG cord lol. ;( Gonna order all of em for like $20 bucks in a bundle. Bills come first sadly. Wish me luck. I'll keep you guys posted. :3 ^_^ And Homebrew Channel is still on there from last time I remember. :3 ^^ Just a FWI. :3 :) :D
