Hey all, I've been searching on Google for a while now for ways to connect to the internet without going through the system menu for a while now to no avail, and was wondering if anyone can at least point me in the right direction. The main issue is that the screen goes blank and freezes on a black screen every time I hit go into the system settings to set up an internet connection. I've tried re-hacking my wii (it's soft-modded), as well as re-installing the system menu but nothing seems to be working. Are there any Homebrew apps that will let me manage network connections, or is there any way I can set up a connection through a different app or game?

I think there's a Settings changing app in The Homebrew Browser. Not sure though.

Do I have to be connected to the internet to use the browser, or does it have everything already there when I copy over the browser to my /apps folder?
If I do have to have a connection, would you happen to know the name of the app so I can just drop it in the folder manually?

I'll download it and sent it to you via DM.

If you think about JoostinOnline setting's editor, it doesn't edit the network information, it only exit to the official network editor menu.
Maybe it will fix your issue anyway, no harm to try.

Maybe there's another homebrew available which can edit network settings?
I know there's a "network enabler" to force a network being active even if it couldn't pass the connection test.
I don't think it would help you.

Did you ever installed a different system menu theme?
My cousin has the same issue, but I suspected it was a bad theme which blocked it. We didn't try a lot of things, he is not hacking expert and it's not easy for him to do it alone.

Yeah, the Network Enabler wouldn't work, I already looked into that one. I'll keep looking for another Homebrew as well as try JoostinOnline's that you linked me to. In his original post he says it can't edit settings unless you've changed them at least once, I bought this Wii used from a friend of mine, but I would assume he would've had to change the Internet Connection settings at least once to connect to the internet in the first place, right? Either way, I'll try.
And no, I haven't used a custom menu theme and I doubt he would've installed one either as he isn't the most tech-savvy person haha

Tried the settings editor, there wasn't even an option to edit the internet settings excpet for a "Exit to Internet settings" at the bottom, upon which returned me back to Homebrew when selected :cry:

    @BigOnYa, Maybe. Depends if Nintendo wanted to expand the lifespan of the console. But with every console that they release, it usually gets discontinued after 10-12 years.

    These so-called 'media stories' often make predicaments about when or what is going to happen, whereas it could be the total opposite.

    Support from big n may stop aka new firmwares, but devs will prob continue making games for it as long as sales are good.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    New firmwares are only there to prevent piracy/softmodding hardware, they do not "enhance the user experience" as they claim so on and so forth. And if they decide to add new features to the system via firmware updates, then it's quite rare.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Games are still released on PS4\ XboxOne, so I imagine will be same scenario.

    I have a feeling big N has a extra trick up they sleeve to prevent piracy this time w Switch 2. (Lotus 4 maybe) So the new games can't be dumped, even w a dump tool. (Mig dumper)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It would have to be extra security measures in the Switch 2 gamecarts that will be different from the OG Switch carts. So, for example, Switch 2 gamecarts will not work with the Switch, because it has a different ASIC. Game partitions and layout to a Switch ROM will be the same, but has extra flags in the ROM header info that only the Switch 2 will recognise.

    When I owned my pizza place many years ago, we didn't have a cash register at all, every employee was given a "bank" of small bills at start of shift. Then everyone pocketed the money and made change, and I'd cash everyone out at end of shift. One time we had a gunman come in to rob me and wanted to know where's the cash register. I told him we don't take cash, only credit, and he left with nothing. Cops caught him even.

    My wifeys aunt gave her some gold coins in her will when she passed last year, and the tax man was gonna tax her a gift tax on it, but our accountant said if she sells the gold and put that money into a 5 year CD, it will be untaxable. So she did, and now IRS saying they want a income tax on the gold coin sale. Damn taxman always greedy.
