Hacking BRICKED

say the power failed while you were updating the firmware to 4.0

he already did and got a new one.

Despite being a stupid mistake and his own fault I find it a bit pathetic that people come on this thread just to point fingers and laugh at his situation.

The brainless tosser here is the one who added that April Fool "joke" into preloader, they know already that people struggle to install/uninstall and complain when they continuously post "help me's" someone should have USED THEIR BRAIN before adding this to a childs toy.

I can only second that and I'm glad nintendolinky got his Wii replaced.

Like I said, a stupid mistake which he is now paying for. I fail to see how it makes him a 'tosser' though.

Read it again I am calling the programmer a tosser not the newbie who uninstalled the IOS.

Fair enough. He is indeed a tosser.

not really nice of you to call crediar a tosser. i don't think he is. if he is as touchy as wanin is/was i would stop development of preloader, which is one of the best apps released in the hbscene.

So it's the April fool was done by the programmer of Preloader itself? Perhaps the word 'tosser' is a little harsh then but it certainly doesn't seem to have been a sensible thing to do.

Dont give a fuck what he's developed for the scene, preloader contains potentially damaging code. Calling the guy a tosser is 100% accurate, he is a tosser & obviously also a fucking moron if he added that "aprils fools joke" in himself, knowing it would scare people into potentially damaging their consoles. if I'd lost my wii because of his "joke" I'd have a fit!

Kudos to everyone working on the Wii homebrew scene but fuck me, if one guys pulls shit like this, who's to say it wont happen again but actually cause everyones wii's to brick? Will you defend his reckless actions then eh?

Also, thanks to this, every other thread on GBAtemp is about "my wii is bwicked, dayumn!" today.

Guys guys, calm down yeah it was a bit stupid putting it in there, but i took the wii back this morning and swapped it over for a new one. They didn't even check the wii, i just told them it wouldn't turn after the update to 4.0. The only thing i lost was the drive with my wiikey on it, as i forgot to swap drives before i took it back. Also guys im no newbie, it was a lapse of concentration thats how it was deleted, if i just thought about it for a second more, it wouldn't have been deleted. Silly Me

It was a joke - it never said to do anything to your console.

A mod should close this thread is becoming counter productive.

iLold.

Repeatedly.
