I have a 2001 that is currently soft-modded with CFW 6.20 PRO-B8 and running perfectly. I haven't done anything else to it other than create some iso's from my UMDs and installed them to my memory stick.

Is there an application or two that I should install in the event that I screw something up (read: brick) that will get me back to a fully functioning unit? This is one of the 2001s that was only recently able to be modded as it has the motherboard that everyone tries to avoid. Hope that makes sense because I'm not the most knowledgeable with this stuff but I'm learning.

Thanks!

As far as I know as long as you don't try to downgrade it past the firmware it originally have, and not try doing anything regarding flash0 (previous process of installing custom themes, not with CXMB, for example,) you'll be fine.

Also, every time you update (for example, going 6.39 or 6.60 CFWs in the future) there is a very small chance of a brick (because it writes to flash0,) so be sure to keep your PSP on AC power during those times and hope for the best.

And I think PRO has built in flash0 protection in case any other stuff tries to write on it.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
