its 2018... i already have done some modding this year and revisited some old consoles (Henkaku 3.65 vita, switch running 5.1.0 and hekatmosphere, found my old cycloDS cart, added things)
anyway, i found a wii in my garage that a roommate left behind and i decided to do the letterbomb exploit method to install homebrew channel and i ended up using a SD card from my first modded wii (modded 3 others with great success but back in 2011) First thing i did is check to see if there were any updated versions of anything i used on the first wii before passing anything over to the wii, updated only the ones i was going to use (UsbLoaderGx, d2x, MMM and such. but honestly there are too many methods and even more outdated guides. i went with the one i knew how to do which goes in this order i believe:
-Letterbomb
-Homebrew Channel
-Priiloader
-Added a folder with old apps and a bunch of WADs i dont think i need
-D2x cios installer
this is where the problems started.
first i tried looking for my newest cios (v10 beta52) didn't show up
shut down the wii normally, it hangs.
i take the SD card out and take my cios's and make individual folders for them and place them on the base of the SD
now i see them showing up as options.
i installed d2x-v10-beta52
base 56
slot 249
revision? (i think i chose the first option)
installs successfully
i go to the next base and slot (base 57/slot 250) with the same v10-beta52 to install
it tries to download official ios 57, fails.
so i try to put that official ios i manually downloaded from my PC and place it on the base of the SD.
it doesn't find it in D2x so i said screw it.
i still tried to run homebrew. most homebrew works the only issue i see is when i used WAD games (Super Mario 64 and F-Zero X were the only ones i tried) they would start up normal, ask for classic controller (i used official gamecube controller) i press A, i get the first 10 seconds of F zero X to go, Hangs.
Super Mario 64? i get to start the game, load file 1 (new game) i get to peach's intro, Hangs.
All i want to do now is either fix it up to get it playing my WADs and MAYBE backups or undo it all and start fresh with Modmii (which i hear is the bees knees when it comes to wii softmodding. Anybody have suggestions?
