Hello everyone, I bought a second-hand Japanese Wii recently and I followed the guide found here: wii[dot]hacks[dot]guide to mod it. Specifically, I've carefully followed these steps, as per the guide's "Ready?" section: 1. Choosing and using an exploit (REQUIRED) > chose Wilbrand 2. Installing the Homebrew Channel and BootMii (REQUIRED) 3. Making a NAND backup with BootMii (REQUIRED) 4. Installing Priiloader (REQUIRED) 6. Installing cIOS (RECOMMENDED) I've also installed the GX USB Loader app, as per the guide found here: wii[dot]hacks[dot]guide/wii-loaders, in addition to the SysCheck ModMii Edition as per the guide found here: wii[dot]hacks[dot]guide/syscheck. Speaking of SysCheck, here's the output: SysCheck ME v2.5.0 by blackb0x JoostinOnline Double_A R2-D2199 and Nano ...runs on IOS58 (rev 6176). Region: NTSC-J System Menu 4.3J (v512) Priiloader installed Drive date: 07.14.2008 Homebrew Channel 1.1.2 running on IOS58 Hollywood v0x21 Console ID: 95735141 Console Type: Wii Shop Channel Country: Japan (1) Boot2 v4 Found 66 titles.

The problem I'm facing goes like this: > Insert an SD card in the Wii SD slot. Note: It's a 32GB SD card, formatted in FAT32, with all the apps installed according to the instructions of the aforementioned guides. > Insert a USB stick in USB slot 0 of the Wii (the bottom one, as the Wii lies flat). Note: It's a 64GB USB 3.0 drive, formatted in FAT32, with a "wbfs" folder and a single PAL-region game within, structured as instructed in the "Game Directory Structure" section of the guide found here wii.hacks.guide/wii-loaders. The game was added to the drive using WiiBaFu 2.0 on Linux and the resulting WBFS file runs fine on the Dolphin emulator. > Turn on the Wii, select the Homebrew channel, select the GX USB Loader app, select the game from the list, select start. > TV turns black, sometimes after displaying a few colored lines momentarily, and the Wii becomes unresponsive. Neither the power button nor the reset button work; the only way to interact with the Wii is to unplug it, plug it back in and turn it on. I've tried resolving this issue by following some of the steps in the "USB-Loader GX Troubleshooting guide" found in the GBATemp forum. I've mainly followed the steps described under section "6. Games give only black screen, have issues or crashes". None of the fixes seem to work for me. I've also consulted other topics in the GBATemp forums focusing on the same or a similar issue. Most of them suggest that the cIOS installation might have been botched or that selecting a different IOS from the GX USB Loader app settings will resolve the issue. None of these seem to be the solution to my problem... Some extra things I've tried: - Tried another USB stick, 64GB USB 2.0 this time, once formatted in FAT32 and another in NTFS. [Same problem...] - Tried creating a "wbfs" folder with the game in the SD card and configured the GX USB Loader app to run the games from there. [Same problem...] - Tried yet another USB stick, 64GB USB 2.0 formatted in WBFS with a few games from another Wii that was modded back in 2015. [NEW problem: Games start normally and seem to play just fine. When attempting to exit, however, by pressing the Home button on the Wiimote and then selecting Wii Menu, the Wii crashes in the same fashion, i.e. TV goes black and you need to unplug the Wii and plug it back in.] Note: The USB drive in question was formatted in WBFS using whatever version of the Wii Backup File System Manager was available in 2015. The stick has been working flawlessly on that other Wii, which was modded pretty much in the same way as the one I recently got, albeit according to a much older guide with older versions of every app. If it makes any difference, in the case of the other Wii, it was possible to install BootMii as boot2. This wasn't the case with the current Wii. It would be great if somebody could help me resolve this. Thank you for your time!

Wii will not work on my UHD tv

Hi i have tried several wiis (3) with an Wii2HDMI converter however my TV says mode not supported. Is there any way to get the wii working on a modem Tv? It's my understanding that the wii sends signal in 480i which my TV does not support
