Hacking Wii system memory is full

Maitenance Mode doesn't make any difference. I can get into recovery mode, but none of the "autoboot" discs work (maybe I'm getting bad ones?) So now, I'm looking for the Last Chance Unbrick Disk v3, to see if it makes any difference.

Those won't do you any good, because they require a trucha patched SM IOS+modchip or for your SM IOS to have a patched dip module. If you were on 4.1 you could launch an exploit without issue, but you updated to 4.3 so that's not an option.

You might be able to load SSBB if you set it to autoboot.

Kinda retarded question, so please bear with me. I have an official copy of SSBB, is there any way to set it to autoboot or do I have to download an ISO, change it to autoboot through some programs and burn it in a dual layered DVD?

If your chip has a setting to autoboot games then you can use the retail disc.

I guess that Wiikey 1 has autoboot, but I get into the recovery mode, put SSBB and the menu version disappears, but after that, nothing happens. I don't really know what to do to make it autoboot.

Did you actually enable autoboot? I believe there is a switch on the modchip itself.

Well, opening my Wii certainly was a challenge, good thing it's pretty old, I did some unspeakable things. But unfortunately, there's no switch there. I guess I'll have to buy some dual layered DVDs now and try the Mario Kart PWNs method with SSBB PAL, which I think it won't work, cause I don't have any space for save data.

giantpune · Jan 24, 2012

this is the whole reason i made 2 versions of the PAL smash stack. so you can use it without having to create a 128 block save. the only thing you have to worry about is if the game will actually load. during that black screen when it is loading, it writes some data to your nand for temporary storage. i dont know how it will behave if it is unable to write that data.

Well just "obtain" an ISO and set it to autoboot before burning it.

Ok, autoboot Mario Kart Wii disc worked, that's some progress. I'll see what I can do with it now

Edit: Nothing. I'll try a scrubbed Dora that I found, or I'll have to look harder for a Castlevania or something. I'll keep you guys updated

Edit2: No luck with that, too, I'll have to find those SwapDisc games now.

Koopser · Feb 1, 2012

Well, great news! I was able to run smashstacks and everything through DiscSwap and installed bootmii as boot2 (luckly my Wii is one of the first) and HBC! Now I may need some help on how to proceed to recover it, I'm making a NAND Dump right now, ~~strangely, it's says that I have 1922MB of free space, so I guess there's some bizarre bug going on with my System Menu~~

Edit: Silly me, that's the free space on my SD card. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to have this backup.

Edit2: Strangely, I was able to install HBC and it shows on my Channels, taking up space.

~~Edit3!: Oh boy, AnyTitleDeleter says that my Sysmenu and Sysconf are different.~~

~~Sysmenu is 0 and Sysconf is 1. How the heck did that happened~~

Edit3: Ok, did a complete softmod guide and it doesn't says that anymore, but I still don't know what to do, I'm still having these errors

Woah, I don't really like to self bump, but with this kind of progress, I feel like I'm getting close, so I really need some help, I've been trying to solve things by myself, but I still have the problem

Koopser · Feb 2, 2012

Hey, self bump again. I want to share the good news, though! I've finally fixed it! Thank you Giantpune for your incredible tools. I used your nandBinCheck and was able to locate and fix the issue. It was a bad HMAC for "/meta/00000001/00000101/title.met". I've traced that to be the Gamecube IOS folder. Tried deleting MIOS, nothing happened, so I used FSToolBox and honestly, I don't know what I did, what I understood when I pressed minus, is that "title.met" was over 5GB! (Or maybe less, 500MB, anyway, it was a LOT of space), so I pressed plus, it did something, and now it's only 17kb in size, like it should be. My guess is that title.met got corrupted somehow out of nowhere, since I wasn't even playing any Gamecube game that I remember. I literally turned of the Wii on the Kirby screen.

But anyway, thanks for all your time and help, and I hope this helps someone in the future!

Nice to read that you were able to fix your Wii with a little of help, so I call this thread as : SOLVED!! (and now I can close it)
