wiiv1.5owners3 said:i just booted starfall v0.5 from wiibrew and installed Start rescue-menu when Y is held on 1st GC controller all went well glad to say now if i boot up wii with Y button held i just get a 3.2E in the bottom right hand side of screen why would this be so important and is my wii now unbrickable in hineside?what can i do with Y button held? can i boot backups? i use Gamma so a little confused why this starfall is making a big scene and it was released back in August. hi noobwarrior
allow me to clarify with hypothetical Q & A:
Q: What seperates starfall from any other means to access the recovery menu (borked GC-pad, SaveMii)?
A: While it accesses the exact same rescue menu, Starfall physically patches that menu, which normally blocks the booting of retail Wii Discs, and will only boot those which have the "autoboot" bit set (of which there is only one known pressed disc, the original pink fish disc) so that the "RECOVERY MENU" will actually boot ANY disc that the drive will send as valid (for a chipped user, this means any disc, for unchipped it means any retail disc)
Q: Why is that useful?
A: Because, if you don't have a chip, you can't use autoboot discs.
Q: Why would I need to?
A: If you do a banner-brick accidentally, and you happen to have the Twilight Hack installed, and a copy of TP, but no chip, you could autoboot your retail copy, run TP-hack, and unbrick.
Q: Noobwarrior7, I often see you say, 3.2 + Starfall + TP-hack equals a very safe Wii? Why 3.2?
A: Because Starfall is the only way to unbrick without a chip, and Starfall only works on (aka was only made for) 3.2.
Any statement that begins with "I banner-bricked and don't have Starfall..."
is also a statement that ends in "...so I need a chip."
in addition:
Any statement that begins with "I'm on 3.3......"
is also a statement that ends in "...I never install a wad without the TP-hack on my system."
because on 3.2, you can boot homebrew discs as an alternative, on 3.3, all you have is TP. ALL YOU HAVE IS TP.
