Sorry for my ignorance I'm still on denial about it... Is it really no way to recover the Wii from a brick if I don't have boot2?
I had Priiloader but when I start it it doesn't work...

I don't care if I have to erase all past data I just want my Wii back :(

How did you brick your Wii? (if you don't know, say what you did before the Wii bricked)
I installed WarioWare DIY Showcase and played it for a bit, then turned off my Wii and when I turned it on again it wasn't working :(

That's weird... gonna do a little more research to see if I can find anything about it, while you wait, you can look at wii.hacks.guide bricks page to see if anything there helps.

@scared So, I couldn't find much info about a brick like this, but I got a few more questions that may help with this:

1) When you turn on the Wii, does the blue light lights up?
2) When the Wii is turned on, does anything appear at all?
3) On your TV, the Wii HDMI or AV channel appears as on or off?
4) If you move the controller while pointing to the sensor bar when the Wii is turned on, do you feel any vibration on the controller?

maybe you installed the game with a bad banner and got a banner brick as a result?

    haha hello
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @K3Nv2, I think the RP5 has had 8GBs for a while? I know mine has 8GBs not sure it's needed for emulation though? Probably 4GBs is enough for 99% of what it's fast enough to emulate? I could be wrong if it can do like GC and PS2 stuff maybe more is needed? Probably stream the ROMs like the consoles did off the drives.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I believe what they do is OS and translation layer (emulator) and the emulator has its RAM like 36MBs for PS2 so like 3 times that maybe as things are shuffled around, a frame buffer and. Load the data from the ROM file into that systems RAM. I think I read that even 2GBs is enough if your just using a Pi for emulation.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What's an RP5?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Raspberry Pi 5
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For me it's just an emulation machine
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Like a super mini system, I use Batocera as an OS and it's pretty easy to set up, has a ton of UI skins you can make it look almost anyway you want. Still would kill for a WiiFlow like skin (some are close)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I bought the 8GB model because my thoughts on that is the the difference between the models is like 20 bucks so why not get the good one just in case.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Almost never hear anyone complaining about too much RAM but not enough? Yeah best to avoid that one. Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I did kind of overshoot on storage, a 2TB nvme drive and I think 1TB would have been plenty.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably have like 700GBs of stuff on it now, and don't think I can add much more.
