So, last night, I was using my Wii just fine. I had just put Netflix on there and spent the night watching Dirty Harry. I go to turn on my wii today and everything seems fine. The health screen comes up and I press a to continue and then... System files are corruped please refer to your users manual. I didn't do anything special yesteryday, no updates or modified files. I suppose I should have had priiloader or something on but, I just never saw the need until now.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any reason why my wii would just spontaneoulsy brick or any options for fixing it? If nothing else, can I send it back to Nintendo? I have no idea about my warranty or anything but, would they even take it since I've got homebrew on it? Any help would be majorly apperciated, thank you.

 

I don't think that's the problem. I put the netflix disc on my usb loader so it didn't update the wii and, I had used it, turned off the wii then, turned it back on later just fine. I've had my Wii homebrewed for around 2 years now and everythings gone fine up to this point. I've made sure to be super cautious about everything, that's why this comes as such a suprise to me.

nope... I know it seems stupid but, I never really did anything that could mess up the Wii so I never really saw the point in putting a bunch of pre-emptive stuff on it

 

@tattar8

Constructive criticiscm please. I have to focus on what I can do now, not what I should have done before.

 

No, I've not. I'd actually hadnt' heard of that until you just mentioned it. I'm willing to take apart a gamecube controller but I'd really like to know if this could fix my problem before I do so. I saw someone say something about it only working on modchipped wii's which I do not have.

 

hmm. i think its a mail brick

 

you guys will never believe this, I just turned on my wii and it's fine. I don't know what the heck, I didn't do anything special it's just working. lol Now, what's better bootmii or preloader?

 

get both.

 

Ok, I've installed bootmii as boot2 and I've made a nand backup. Thanks for the help even if the Wii just fixed itself.

One more question though. I am new at bootmii and I'm not quite sure about one thing. What is the icon of the sd card for? I know what all the rest do but, I'm just not sure about that sd icon. When I clicked on it, it just said Failed directory not found
