Hi everyone,

I banner bricked my Wii yesterday and I don't have boot mii, preloader or anything of that kind. I just have the Homebrew channel. Yesterday, I was installing some wads onto the home menu with wad manager. When I restarted my system after pressing a on the caution screen, I just get a black screen. I have a 3rd party Gamecube controller and I can't seem to get into recovery mode with it if someone can guide me I can open the controller. I'm on fw 4.3 Europe. I don't have a modchip. I have read people saying that after going into recovery mode I can put in Universal Unbrick v2 and format my Wii.

Thanks any help will be appreciated.

You need a way to launch something before the system menu starts, which means BootMii as boot2, Priiloader, or allegedly the GC controller trick with a disc that has the autoboot flag enabled. I'm pretty sure the autoboot method doesn't really work, though.

I have a 3rd party gamecube controller. Can you guide me on how to get to the recovery screen because it never works. I can also burn a disk, but I think I need a modchip. I'm happy to loose all my data if I can just fix it.

    @RedColoredStars, I never tried reeses

    Oh. Man. One of the best candies imo. Can you import some, or a store around that sells US candy?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Its candy. And people do it all the time with candy, sodas, chips/crisps, etc. that arent availabe in their country
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Like Lays, Pepsi, Kit Kats, etc. other countrys have many flavors that others dont have. Only way to get them is import or a place that sells snacks from other countries. It's very, very common.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, Maybe not so close from where I live
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Green Tea KitKats in the US? Nope. Strawberrys and Milk Pepsi? Nope. Lay's Japanese Sesame Hot Pot flavored chips? Nope.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, I mean that I don't know any imported food store nearby
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    There are tons of things that have different flavors available depending on region. It's kinda fun to try stuff from other places.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Aldi grocery stores import most of they foods. I don't shop there anymore but remember way back going there and getting green beans in a can, and it had sticks in it, from Brazil irc. I'm surprised they are permitted to cause it not FDA approved/ inspected
