Hello everyone, i did something real stupid, i made a nand backup, however thats on a 2.5 sdata hard drive and i cant get to it. so now im left here with a wii that wont really start up. i can get into preloader just fine. am i screwed?
Is there anyway to fix this issue?
also i installed dark/corp 1.1 if that helps. i just wanted to play kirby-_-

also i have been looking over this thread
http://gbatemp.net/t185984-bricked-wii-wit...ackup?&st=0
i have a compiled version of cboot2 v16 ready to go if that helps:/
also im a noob when it comes to un bricking a wii as i have never done it before.

if you canget into HBC and reinstall all your ios you should be fine.
MODMII is the way to get all you need.

EDIT: oops i saw in the title after. I would try to install a .dol of MMM to get those wads installed it might work

I'm thinking the issue is that installing DARKCORP messed up your IOS.

Some questions:
1) Do you recall what system menu version you were on?
2) Do you have BootMii at boot2?
3) How is your NAND backup unaccessible? Is it that you lost your HDD?

If you have BootMii at boot2, you can easily place the BootMii files back onto your SD card, and restore you NAND backup if you can get it. (Transfer out of HDD onto PC and then onto SD card)

Well damn, if you have no NAND backup it's going to be complicated, especially since you can't boot into the Homebrew Channel.

I'm not too familiar with Priiloader, but is it possible that you can boot into BootMii IOS (which you should've installed no matter what)?

Ok i was not clear enough in my post more clearly...

1. download modmii
2. use that and download all ios (page 1, i)
3. use it also to download mmm (page 2,mmm)
4. put the .dol of mmm at root of sdcard and install it into preloader.
5. run it and install all the wads you downloaded

I GOT THE WAD MANAGER TO WORK:)
but every ios i pick to install stuff wont work..
DARKCORP patched your IOS files. Try a newer WAD Manager if yours is older (WAD Manager 1.7, MMM, etc.) and run from IOS249 and see if it helps.

wad manager 1.6/1.7 crashes and mmm crashes everytime.
1.5 wad manager WORKS however whenever i press 249 and it just crashes

  • 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
    +1
  • 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.
