I've been seeing many posts about people getting their wii's bricked.
I currently have a NTSC-U Wii with the 3.2U firmware using Backup Loader with the 002 Error Fix
I load my games from Rebooting With Hooks From the Backup Loader into the Disc Channel
I have the homebrew channel
With a Software Modded Wii No ModCHip

Any applications i can get so that i can prevent my wii from bricking?
Like i heard about StarFall & HackMii

I have a USA copy of the regular Link's Twilight Princess in original


what do these really mean

* Remove rescue-menu diagnostic disc check

starfall is program that blocks disc updates and many other system menu hacks and lowers your chance of bricking you wii because you cant install a update from the wrong region and hackmii is a website you are probaly talking about savemii which is a recovery dongle for the wii which can recover you from some bricks

Get Starfall, it works on 3.2. It probably won't save you from firmware brickings, but if you like installing Injected Virtual Console games and Wii Ware games, it'll save your life (especially if you still have Twilight Princess, which apparently you do). Some Virtual Console games can "Brick" your Wii because of a bad banner. Starfall can skip over that mess by making you load straight to the game. Again, I don't know about firmware bricking, but thanks to Starfall I can skip the worry about updating firmwares and now I can make my own banners for my own injected games.

Sometimes I brick my Wii intentionally by installing bad banners, just to unbrick it.

    There's like 3 leisure suit Larry games on Switch. Its not like they show nudity or anything. Its actually mild compared to some other games on Switch.

    Maybe a cartoon breast shot at best. The old original ones on DOS were the best, newer ones are just cheesy.

    When I was like 12-13 yrs old, I used to sneak down to my cool uncles house, n he secretly let me play them on his PC. Good memories. It always ask you 5 random adult questions before you could play to confirm you adult, he had to answer them for me cause I didn't know.

    Yup

    That game asked you plenty of questions to make sure you was an adult, but it could be an effective anti-piracy check.

    Before that, you used to go to a library to find a big heavy book with every history and other related questions. Would've took hours just to mesmerize them.

    Companies, stop using materializm and plain looking designs. Go back two decades from now and start bringing back retro.
