Plz plz plz help me out..

I have spent many days on the net, searching for what could help me fix my wii problem, have read about ios anf cios etc, but still doesnt understand what to do...

a couple of years ago, I bought a wii, with wiikey. A few months later, my brother decided to buy one too, and I think I remember that there was a "change" in wiis, and that he got a different chip than me?

Anyway, I recently bought wiifit, and of course I upgraded (without knowing the consequenses)
After hours of trying and failing, I acually managed to downgrade it, followed some guide, and all my games are working fine.

My brother have bought wiifit too now, and as wise as I have become I prevented him from alowing the wii to update(he didnt have homebrew channel either)

We doesnt live in the same city, and I have by telephone support guided him through installing homebrew channel, and cios downgrader-so that he know has version 3.2e (he had 2 something)
But every game he tries to start, goes black...the games are super smash bros, mario kart, raving rabbits, familiski and the wiifit itself...


Please help me understand what Im doing wrong, and tell me what I can do to make it work..
Im tempted to let wiifit upgrade(I have installed dvd update block with starfall), and than try to downgrade, since it worked for me..

I dont know which chip he has, but Im sure he hasnt upgraded it since he got it..
could that cause the black screen?
Is there a program that can run, so I can get to know which chip he has? (so I can update it for him)

I will be extremly thankful for any help, as it feels my head is about to explode soon...

He might need to update his chip, before you do any crazy shit with IOS's find out the type installed and see if there's an ISO of a config disc for it, I know my friends wiikey has one and he was told it required an update flash before it would run properly and we've yet to have a problem at his house with it.

Well might wanna listen to the guy above first, since i'm not too sure about modchips, but aren't you supposed to run ios downgrader along with cios downgrader? If you just downgraded the firmware without the ios getting downgraded wouldn't that cause some problems?

I have upgraded the software with the downgrader.. but I made him run ios downgrader too...
I thought perhaps there was missing some ios, since he had an old software, 2..2 or something...

Is there an way I can find out which chip he has, without making him open the wii?

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all

    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!
