    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Yeah, restore of the same files isn't working (random freezes, some games that worked before black-screen, etc), recheck of internal NAND with BootMii had new bad blocks, and there were minor (fixable) errors with the USB drive. So maybe it's RAM, maybe it's internal NAND, maybe it's the USB...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I've been thinking it since using the duplicate HDD with the exact same setup wasn't working, but I've been too stubborn to accept it! I'm going to try and at least get the files back into the same state they were late Wed night when things were working...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    I made a 4.1U emuNAND, but UNEEK still won't boot. For whatever reason, even though I ran UNEEK for years I can't get any variation (neek2o v95 and v 96, UNEEK v150, v191, v192, emuNAND with 4.1U, 4.3U, fresh files versus copying the previously working files, etc) running after my old HD died...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Looks like I spoke too soon. Back to games crashing, homebrew not working... And nothing's changed except I turned the Wii off for a day. Ugh. I'm copying back my known-working files from 3 days ago, but if that doesn't work I think I'm done. Something must be seriously broken with this Wii...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Success! Given that the problems were the same with fresh 4.3U sysNAND and the 4.2U sysNAND backup, I went to the freshly re-done ModMii 4.3U. From there the other loaders worked and can use a 4.1U emuNAND without issue. So my Wii is back in business! It had been so long since I messed with any...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Endoverend, thanks again for all the help. The last NAND I have from prior is like a year old, not that it matters since I've been using emuNAND for like 3-4 years at this point. Reloading that doesn't seem to change anything, sadly. I wish I could sort out what's different! Everything used to...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    So I also went with UNEEK+DI neek2o verbose v96. I now get an "eslog" file with the following: This appears when using a ModMii-generated clean NAND or with my sysNAND copied to nand.bin on SD and then dumped via NAND Extractor. I also tried clearing all the ModMii temp files and regenerating...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    As a further update, I also tried UNEEK+DI (verbose) v192, hoping to have some sort of error output to give me clues. Instead, the Wii doesn't boot but also doesn't seem to generate any error file. It seems like UNEEK is at least partially working, as if I delete diconfig.bin it's regenerated on...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Thanks for the suggestions, endoverend. Unfortunately it looks like nothing is working… I tried with the 1TB USB2 HDD, formatted to FAT32 MRB with 32k clusters. I tried UNEEK + DI neek2o rev 96, and UNEEK + DI rev 192, with my last-known-working emuNAND and new emuNAND. I tried not copying over...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    In the process of doing that now, but I can’t get ohneschwanzenegger to work on my Mac. I used it a long, long time ago (like 2+ years ago). I think Qt has completely changed (it wants v4.7, and now it’s at 5.3. It’s also now open-source and no longer maintained by Nokia), so installing the...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Hi endoverend. I’ve run chkdsk on Windows, along with Disk Utility on OS X. They both find no errors with the current drive. The backup I’m using is from ~1 month ago (I back up monthly, as I don’t use the Wii much any more). I have a spare 1TB USB2 drive I could use, but I really don’t need...

    Hacking Help - can’t use emuNAND any more but I need it!

    Hey all, So here’s a weird issue… I’ve been using a hacked Wii for years, ever since the internal NAND on my launch-day Wii started dying about 4 or 5 years ago. Prior to that. I was getting corrupted Mii Channel, losing Miis, and corrupt game saves. Anyway, for the past 3 years or so I’ve...

    Hacking Help! Rock Band 3 constant freezing with EmuNAND

    Well, as an update for anyone who comes across this thread due to a similar issue: Somehow everything worked for the one night I needed it to, by restoring (again) from the same backups I had before. Turning off “Auto-save” in RB3 allowed the game to run for about 4 hours continuously. Yay...

    Hacking Help! Rock Band 3 constant freezing with EmuNAND

    I should also add that Rock Band 3, with ticket and title deleted, still crashes after 1 song at best. Deleting the save game file brings back the “corrupt save file. Overwrite or continue without saving?” loop that can only be solved by bringing over a working save game or playing without...

    Hacking Help! Rock Band 3 constant freezing with EmuNAND

    And as an update, more has gone wrong. When I was making new SD files and USB NANDS via ModMii, I moved my working SD and USB NAND into a folders called “Backup” on their respective drives. I also made copies on my computer. Going back to either of those (originals in the “Backup” folder or...

    Hacking Help! Rock Band 3 constant freezing with EmuNAND

    Hi All, I’ve been running emuNAND ever since my release-date Wii’s internal SSD crashed, to avoid losing all of my DLC, saves, etc. I’ve been using UNEEK+DI r150 and JoYFlow for years (yes old, but up until now stable as a rock!), with a 320GB USB2 HDD. Original Wii hacked via Smash. EmuNAND...

    Hacking Advice: Is my NAND screwed up, and can I fix it?

    I’ve never installed Priiloader, I was using a 4GB SDHC card and switched to a 2GB SD card, and BootMii will appear immediately if I have it set up to do so on the SD card. I did run the Wii without the SD card, and I was still getting random black screens with loading games and intermittent...

    Hacking Advice: Is my NAND screwed up, and can I fix it?

    Ladies and gentlemen, no need for all the flames! I do thank you for all the suggestions, though. Let’s remember that the whole reason I started looking at the Homebrew scene was because I was getting random errors that my Miis were corrupt back before any hacking. I was able to save them, and...

    Hacking Advice: Is my NAND screwed up, and can I fix it?

    I haven’t been able to turn Wii Connect 24 off, as even with a fresh NAND it crashes every time I try to go into the System Settings to disable it. I’ve not used USB Loader GX in about 3 weeks, though the issues did start with it. I’ve since restored to a NAND from prior to using USB Loader GX...
