    I am no longer a republican

    Poly is a prefix meaning "many", ultimately derived from ancient Greek. Ticks are annoying blood-sucking parasites. Put them together and you get "politics" - I.E. "A whole lot of annoying blood-sucking parasites".

    Language Menu Missing

    The machine was already hacked when I got it - and in fact I've seen so many that have this traditional Chinese menu on them that at first I didn't even realize it was a hack and assumed (not unreasonably) that they were shipped like that. I never got the HGK Wii when it was new because by the...

    Language Menu Missing

    Yeah, I have to admit that running with a hacked system menu IOS is a bit on the risky side - although this machine does actually boot OK.

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    Ah, that's a bit of a problem - most of these tools are designed to run under Windows. If you upload the nand.bin somewhere and send me a link then I could check it,

    Language Menu Missing

    Yes, there was a hacked version of the menu that operated in Chinese. Unfortunately, there is no language selector, so there is no English option, which would have made a lot of sense for HK. Looking at the unit I have with the translated menu, it appears to have a hacked IOS80 (presumably to...

    Language Menu Missing

    I've just been going over this - that is the standard menu for the HK/TWN Wii, and it only operates in Japanese. The Taiwanese discs are likewise region coded for Japan, so the fact you can boot them in not an indication that your console is modified.

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    OK, so you have the NAND.BIN files that judging from the messages you were getting matches what's in your wii. Try downloading this and running it - it's a rather non-user friendly command line program so you will have to unzip it, get the needed dlls, put them into the same folder and then...

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    OK, then you are in with a chance - I was just thinking you might be chasing an impossible option.

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    That's write mode, not read - and the message is telling you that you already have a correct NAND backup on the SD card

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    That post was actually for xFlak and about the problem I'm having. All I'm saying is that if you can get BootMii to run (presumably as boot2) then I'm really surprised you can't dump the NAND, because I have literally never seen that - even on machines that had sufficiently corrupted...

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    Unfortunately Unfortunately, there is no language select either on the regular Japanese Wii or the HK/TWN version. Here are some screenshots: Regular US Wii settings page 3 for reference: 4 menu options including "Language" and "Country" Standard Japanese Wii settings page 1 Version is...

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    If it's starting BootMii then it must be able to read the NAND, because that's where the modified boot2 is stored and BootMii won't start without that. You should still be able to dump the NAND even if it's entirely trashed, because the BootMii NAND dumper just writes physical NAND blocks - and...

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    I don't know how - these units show on the system menu as being x.xJ and boot Japanese discs - but the system menu is mostly in traditional Chinese. I've heard some mention of a "T" pseudo region, but ohneschwanzenegger/NUSnandbuilder can't recognize it.

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    If you can get BootMii to run, then it's 100% fixable, although you might lose all the data on the console.

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    You can't just flash it - but I was going to use Punetwiin, which takes two NAND images and copies the contents from one to the other while using the key (and bad block map) from the target machine. It doesn't work for E-shop titles because the console ID in the ticket is wrong (since it's the...

    Does anyone have a clean NAND for a Taiwan/HK Wii?

    The title basically says it - I've got a RVL-001(HKG) Wii that has a seriously corrupted NAND - luckily, it has Priiloader and BootMii installed and working to the point where I can dump the Nand but it seems messed up enough that most tools just puke when trying to do anything with it. I...

    swiss writable device sd card adapter not working

    Yes, if you have an original RVL-001 Wii with the Gamecube controller and memory card ports. If you have a later RVL-101 "family edition" Wii the drive is mechanically modified to prevent 80mm discs from loading (and the later models are locked out in firmware too).

    Hacking Error #001, unauthorized device has been detected. Need a fix asap

    Since I thought it would be interesting to run PWM on a console that's as close to stock as possible (basically, HBC + BootMii/boot2 installed but nothing else) to see what it did, I just tried to do this, but I can't get PWM to work - it just blows up with a register dump screen while in the...

    Hardware [Nintendo GameCube] Help needed installing Xenogc

    It's hard to tell and it could just be the photo, but it looks like the connection between one of the pads and the via that goes to the control MCU might be broken. I've attached a photo of the place I'm talking about:
