Hello,
My wii is working fine, i've got BootMii installed as an ios, ive got the homebrew channel and I have a modchip,
I can play online, open all the channels, and play all the games, however when I click on the envelope on the bottom on the screen and try to post a message i get the following error,
"System Files Are Corrupt".
Any help?
Its weird everything is working except for the Messages on the Wii,

thanks for the help in advance

thanks,
I'll look into using dop-mii, before using it im gonna read about it so i don't do some noobish wrong move and brick it.
I've got a question though, is it worth fixing? I dont really use the Wii message board thing, or is the solution not very complicated?
I found this:http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/how-to-use/dop-ios#SYM
I guess I'll read into it.
thanks

Yeah, it's not too complicated.

Just follow that link you posted. You can't go far wrong.

As always, have a NAND backup just in case.

How in the world does someone even get a mail brick? How do you send a letter to someone that somehow bricks them? Is it some kind of deliminator character?

There are a few diff ways to get what is called a mail brick, I used to have some info about it and how to fix using a tool like FSToolBox-0.4 for example (but this app just deleted 1 file when ran), as you only need to delete one bad file from NAND.

I'll have a look and see if I can find it and post it to you. Or if you're impatient or I don't respond soon enough the info is on Wiibrew and so is FSToolBox-0.4.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
