Hello,

I have used the modify 4.2 topic to softmod my wii
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=171901

It was all good until I installed Priiloader. It seemed to have removed my system menu and replaced it with its white menu. It's set to boot as system menu but priiloader opens up everytime. If I click on System Menu it brings me back to priiloader again.

I cannot uninstall priiloader as it gives me the message "unable to restore system menu." I can play games using homebrewer but I want the nice old system menu back.

Reinstall your menu from wad Manager, this will erase Priloader, check the thread about Priloader for all the info...

Good luck... It's not difficult... It's easy, don't be scare about this...

Cant you try to NUS your System Menu WAD and install it via WAD Manager?

I assume, no Bootmii backup...right?

ps: lol

Sorry, I am extremely new to this. Is there any instruction on how to do this. I don't want to screw this up more and brick my wii permanently.

"I assume, no Bootmii backup...right?"

I do have the backup but when I try to restore it gives me error saying "bootmii" not found even though it's in the SD card. It tells me something like it's very dangerous to perform this and proceed with caution. I don't know if it's an unrelated problem with my SD card or this is connected.

Sounds like you have bootmii installed as an IOS rather than boot2.

To re-install your system menu WAD, use NUSD (google for it) and download the system menu wad for your firmware & region. Place this wad in SD:/wad

Download WAD Manager 1.4 or 1.5 and place this in SD:/apps/wad manager. Make sure the .dol file is named boot.dol, if its not then rename it.

Load up your Wii and select homebrew channel from the main menu, then run WAD Manager and install the system menu WAD.

This should overwrite Priiloader and restore your Wii

@everybody else - I know that it can be done by installing a .dol in Priiloader, but thought this was simpler

I had the same problem,so I'll give you instructions how to get the sysmenu back:
1.Download NUSDownloader and start it
2.Click database->System->System Menu and then select your Menu version (U for USA,E for Europe,J for Japan and K for Korea)
3.Tick "Pack->WAD" and then click "Start NUS download".
4.Put the WAD into the WAD folder in the Root of your SD.
5.Download WAD Manager and put it on the SD.
6.Then on the Wii start WAD Manager choose the Sysmenu wad and install it.

Oh I forgot,you need the Common-Key.bin for NUSDownloader.

Thanks a lot for this. So, I downloaded 4.2U system menu from NUSDownloader. It created a folder with bunch of files and RVL-WiiSystemmenu-v481.wad. Do I copy over only "RVL-WiiSystemmenu-v481.wad" or also the other files to the WAD folder of my SD?

Also, what's Common-Key.bin.

I know that customizeMii creates one if you start it at the first time.
rename it to common-key.bin and put it in the folder where the NUSDownloader.exe is.
edit:The Key.bin generator on the site Bazamuffin linked to works too.

  • D @ dadadad:
    I was installing mods for games, but when I removed the romfs folder, an error occurred. Now when I try to launch the game, I see a yellow screen, and I have to reboot the switch. Reinstalling the game didn't help. Can you advise me on what to do to launch the game without mods?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @dadadad delete sd:\atmosphere\contents
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should find out from the mod dev how to uninstall it. Every mod is different on how you install/uninstall.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @The Real Jdbye Wouldn't that take out bunch other stuff also?
  • D @ dadadad:
    Is it safe to delete the entire atmosphere folder? I don't remember what else was there, like edizon and tesla menu are installed through atmosphere, is it not a problem, will I not damage the system? There were too many mods, I won’t be able to contact each one, nothing was said about deleting in the description.

    @BigOnYa nothing that can't easily be replaced

  • D @ dadadad:
    The installation was only through rofms and in the game folder in content. What else can I do?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I already told them about that and yet they make a thread

    @Xdqwerty, A bit. I only know greetings and some other parts. Its quite an easy language to learn.
