i bricked this wii along time ago and need to know if any other way to fix it other than using an infectus, so here it goes

it's an korean wii it got bricked when i was installing preloader, forgot the version but i beleive it was an old version that not use ios236 to install. got the system menu and it's corresponding ios installed fine.. it just crash while installing preloader.

got the nand backup safe with me, not much use unless i got an infectus

what do you this guys? any alternatives?

I had the same brick.
Only I have a PAL wii.
when launching your wii, press reset imidietly.
preloader should boot up.
If thats's ok, run ModMii and download the 4.3 korean menu.
then launch preloader and launch wad manager via load file.
then install your system menu on some ios (I think 249 but not sure).
your wii now is not bricked.

No. Do not do that. That is a really bad idea.

@OP: Give me a second and I will write up some instructions.

1) Save this to the root of your SD card, then put the SD card in your Wii.
2) Try to get into Preloader/Priiloader. If you can the continue. If you can't, stop and tell me what appears on the screen.
3) Select Load/Install File and choose to load (not install) "sysCheck v2.1.0b7"
4) Scan all IOS's when sysCheck loads, then turn off your Wii when it's done.
5) Put the SD card back in your Wii and open SD:\syscheck.csv with WordPad. Copy and past the contents into a post on here. Please use spoiler tags.

If preloader crashed while installing you probably have a full brick. If preloader does not load you can not fix it without NAND reprograming. You could send it to someone, the price is not to much. If preloader loads you can fix it. You just need to install the correct system ios and system menu matching the current region settings of the wii, then install priiloadet.

What does the wii do when you turn it on? Black screen or error?

thanks for the replies.

haven't bothered checking if preloader was installed in the crashdownn and just gave my self a huge face plam. Gonna check it again if i can find where i packed it.

@ mauifrog
i think it was just a black screen

how much do you think this gonna cost me for repair?


anyway out of curiosity. can you force bootmii to use another nand backup? and why if you take the nand on wii (a) and put it on wii (b), turn it on and off then return it back to wii (a) it gets bricked but bootmii is still ok and have to reinstall some stuff to get it working again

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
