Hello i would really apreciatted if somebody can help me. First i must said that i modde 3 wiis succesfully before, so i know a liittle.
My problem is the next: I mod 2 wii from a friendof mine, one was a LU38 AND THE OTHER LU63 WII.
This weekend my friend call me saying that the wii from his son doesnt start, he see just a black screen when he started. I told him to press the rset buttom to check if priiloader 0.4 was still there he did that and then call me again to said that it was there so i though it was just a setting he change.
On Sunday i went to his house but big was my surprise when i cannot load anything other than priiloader menu, i cannot acces system menu no matter what i did the only other thing that load was Bootmii(but it only could be installes as IOS) even from here i cannot load HBC, so i proceed to make a copy of his NAND to test in my WII using UNEEk. After i make the copy i launch again the hackmii installer by installing the elf to the NAND, i can install it using his cube controller i only install HBC. Then it loadn HBC fine but his Wii controller wasnt sync cuz my friend son has two wii one when he visit my friend on weeken and otherr when he is living with his mother, so he sync the wii to use in the other Wii. In HBC evereything work except for any backup launcher like Neogamma or any USB loader, i think this has sthg to do with no Wii controller sync right? cuz when i use an emulato like snes or Wii64 with the cube controller it work. must said that the wii that not load anything is the one his ex wife bought for his son, and it was just untl a couple a omnths ago that i mod it cuz before that he only use retail game.
This is what is strange after i leave my friend house telling that i must first ttest in his copy of the nand looking for a solution before do sthg in the real one cuz i though i screw shtg in priiloader stting. THE COPY OF THE NAND I MAKE WORKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM WHEN I USE IT in my wii , i did nothing in his NAND just extrac t it in SHOWMYWADS.
So what could be te problem a hardware issue o perhaps has sthg to do with his componet cable i just read a couple of posts saying this can cuz this malfunction

Does it your friend's Wii work with a composite cable?

Thanks for ur answer.
Yeah he always use this cable but i just read some post saying that this could cause an issue like this.
I find really strange that his copy of NAND work in my console using UNEEK, what would u think could be happening?

Did you make a NAND backup of his Wii before you modded it any further than installing the Homebrew Channel and bootmii? If so, just restore it. If not, check the Priiloader settings (like you thought it might be). Make sure they all check out and are on their default settings.

i didnt make a dump of his NAND before i moded it cuz bootmi colud only be installed as IOS so i thought i would not helpme in case sthg wrong happened.
I make the NAND dump just after he told that his wii doesnt start, i did this cuz i think by reinstalling a new system menu using wad manager could solve the problem but before doing it i wanted to be sure that this was the problem; if i did that i would erased priiloader and i just have a horrible blackbrick. I did disabled all haks and no changes the wii doesnt start .The funny thing is that this NAND dump work great in my console without any changes.
SO could be a hardware issue?

I recommend you reinstall all the IOS files using WAD Manager, but don't reinstall the system menu just yet. As you said, that would erase Priiloader, and we don't want to do that, at least not yet. What system menu version is this Wii on? I recommend you follow this guide, skip to the part titled Update to 4.2, but delete System Menu-NUS-v481.wad from the wad folder before you put the SD card in the Wii. Your goal here is to reinstall each IOS. If the Wii is on 4.3, make sure you add IOS80 to the wad folder. If the Wii is less than 4.2, add the IOS corresponding to that version.

His system was on 4.1u oficial and i just installed the new IOS58 for HBC and the CIOS and of course priiloader 0.4, i read in several threads that blueooth module always broke down as i just say all i did was using the game cube controller cuz the Wiiremote is not sync with the console all it does is flash. IS a good idea but any idea why his Wii NAND backup work flawselly in UNEEK?

Might be set to use 480p and the tv can't display it. Using the composite cable forces 480i, so try that before doing anything else.

It is probably a bad bluetooth module. Use savemiifrii and see if the recovery menu loads, it should and the wii should not power on with the wiimote.

Or just enable the priiloader hack "force standard recovery menu". If the recovery menu loads and the wiimote does not power the wii, try replacing the bluetooth module.

Yeah the recovery menu load just fine it shows 4.1u on the right corner, yeah it can load but using the hack in priiloader cuz i cant using the cube controller my frien d have. Li ke i said the Wiiremote ar e not synnc with console cuz my friend's son has 2 Wii he sync the controller to use in the other Wii.
other strange thing is that in MMM it shows that 3 remote are registred? Ithink maybe this weekend i will look somewhere to change the BT module.
"Might be set to use 480p and the tv can't display it. Using the composite cable forces 480i, so try that before doing anything else. " but his tv is a Sony Bravia full HD i was working good before.
Thanks for ur help.

    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol

    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
