Hacking Banner Brick help

[ramonimbao]

SaveMiiFrii my butt eh?

hmm....try to get a hold of a first party controller from someone. I have to wonder if the 3rd party one limits how many buttons can be pressed at one shot.

I'll try. It's kinda hard to find one since, over here, if there's a new console, the old one's pretty much dead. o_o (srsly)
Except for the PS2... o_o

QUOTE(batwings21 @ Apr 14 2009, 09:39 PM) That should hopefully work, unless system menu 4.0 removed the savemefrii function too. The premade recovery iso's with cioscorps should boot, just like a modchip would. If no savemefrii, maybe a real savemii will work.

I might not be able to order a SaveMii. Do they ship internationally?
And like Troy said, I should try getting a 1st Party controller first. Maybe it would work.

No friends you can borrow one from?

 

[ramonimbao]

Actually, I do. But I don't think they'll like me disassembling their controller.

Or...
I could buy it from them. Hmm...

No modchip, no starfall+preloader, no cioscorp -> take a modchip/send to nintendo.

No modchip, no starfall+preloader, cioscorp -> small chance it will boot an autoboot disk.

Yet again, good lessons for newbies this is.

Try using a different controller yes, OR a dance dance revolution plate (or how'd you call it.

)

How small of a chance?
And using a dance pad would actually work?

 

[Screemer]

yep, the dance mat should work as well.

cioscorp will not boot a autoboot homebrew disc on 4.0 without startpatch or preloader, just a heads up. but my question is, how was you able to be booting backups on 4.0 through the disc channel without either of them?? unless you was using brick blocker on every backup, you sure you dont have preloader installed?

 

[Screemer]

uh he is on 4.0. i missed that

 

[batwings21]

How did you mod your wii to start with? What package/guide (softmii,riskimod) did you follow? Are you sure preloader is not there?

Yes. I'm sure. If you hold reset while starting the Wii up, and nothing happens, it means Preloader isn't there, right?

I actually just asked a friend to mod it for me. Then he gave it back. Then ta-da everything's there. I just updated it myself to 4.0 using the upgrade guide on Smash Boards.

Yes. I'm sure.

I think you're out of luck on 4.0. Zelda won't autoboot without the starfall or preloader hack and even then, you don't have the TP Hack because you're on 4.0, so booting Zelda won't help you anyway.

This might be a little off topic, but what is a "banner"? I understand when and why the banner brick happens from bad wad files, but why the name "banner"? what does this mean?

I think it's called "banner brick" because the system menu always crashes when it tries to display the banner of the corrupted channel.

 

[micric100]

thanks WiiPower, that makes sense

 

[ramonimbao]

I suddenly thought about this...

What if I actually have Starfall installed...
But I don't have the Hold-Y-on-boot patch thing installed? o_o

 

[funnystory]

id say then its useless but im just a dumbass.If you installed preloader then ud be brick safe
