I've been running into many problems with my homebrewed Wii. I'll post all the steps I've taken and the errors I come across.
I own a 64+ Wii officially upgraded to 4.2U. I used the bannerbomb exploit and installed the Homebrew channel with BootMii (IOS), this all worked just fine. Unfortinately, everything I tried after this seemed to crash on me. I installed the homebrew browser and it frequently "Code Dumped" on me. I tried Doom, which never loaded, and Wad Manager, which just froze when I selected IOS249. I was still unfamiliar with the Wii hacking scene and so I followed any guide I could find. I attempted to patch IOS249, which repeatedly crashed the Wii. I did some extensive reading, specifically this excellent noob guide by nabster92. After I had the sense to make a backup with BootMii, I patched my IOS36 according to Deviyl's informative guide, which seemed to work just fine. I then installed Priiloader for additional brick protection, and ran Wad Manager, which finally worked (using IOS36).
These are the problems I'm still experiencing now:
Thank you,
Wes

These are the problems I'm still experiencing now:
- Running NeoGamma R7 or Backup Launcher 0.3 Gamma loads a black screen, then the Wii locks up. No errors at all, I have to hold the power button to shut the machine off.
- USB Loader GX flashes an orange [Loading, please wait] notification for a brief second, then locks up on black just as NeoGamma and Backup Launcher do.
- The majority of my WAD installations (WiiWare, mostly) just says "This channel cannot be used". I believe this is because it's a PAL copy of the game or something, so I can probably get around with with a Priiloader hack, but I'm not sure.
- Which reminds me, Priiloader hacks don't seem to be doing anything. I could upload the file, but it is pretty much the stock file available on the Wiibrew wiki. I've placed hacks.ini in the root directory of the SD card which I believe is correct, but maybe not.
Thank you,
