Hacking I'm a dumb noob and I banner bricked my wii

[Fatghost28]

Banner bricked my wii a few hours ago.

Boots to the Warning screen...press A and goes to "System Memory is Corrupted, see manual for troubleshooting"

Tried hard and soft resets, couldn't get it past that screen.

I'm running a NTSC Wii 3.2U, Twilight Hack still loaded on, no mod chip.

Should I

a. Pay Nintendo 100 bucks to fix it

b. get a mod chip installed and try the wad-manager autoboot ISO (I have the PAL version...I made an NTSC version with regionfrii but regionfrii seemed to think it wasn't business as usual, so I don't know if that would work)

c. get a mod chip and patch an ISO of Twilight Princess to autoboot and use the TP hack to run wad manager.


What's my best course of action?

Thanks for the help

B or C

So will the auto boot ISO work after it's been regionfrii'd?

I do not see why it would not.

 

[Fatghost28]

regionfrii kept saying "this doesn't look like a wii iso. Continue anyway?"

You know what? Why you just do not download NTSC version?

 

[Fatghost28]

I didn't know there was an NTSC version.

Can you point me to it?

Waiiit....I meant Zelda TP
But,well...with modchip the wad manager despite its region would run I think...

If I use Zelda TP...on my SD card I need this program, right?

I ask because it seems like it only refers to wads on the SD card and not in the Wii memory...

Yes, you need this program + wad that done the brick. Just load TP, chainloader and uninstall the wad. (Put the wad in foler "wads" and the .elf file on root)

Ok...that makes sense.

So I keep the wad that bricked my wii on the SD card, select it and uninstall it, and the program will take it off of the wii memory...

Exactly.
