Hacking "The system files are corrupted. Check the Wii operations manual for help..." vWii

[tronsonic]

This error message sometimes shows up after the "Safety and Precautions" screen when I start vWii. Not always, but seems to be happening more often lately, When I get the error I just shut down the wii u and try again and usually it doesn't happen twice in a row. One possible culprit I can think of is that I used the Wii to Wii U transfer utility when i got the system and maybe some files from my wii are causing problems on the wii u. The only channels I have installed to the system menu are the Homebrew Launcher, USB Loader GX, and CTGP Revolution forwarders. Anyone have any idea what might be causing it? I attached my syscheckGX.txt if that helps.

It's really strange but it seems this problem has something to do with the Wii Balance Board. If I "Delete All Wii Remote Pairings" and then only add my Wii remotes, I can boot vWii with no issues at all. Once I sync the Wii Balance Board I started getting "The system files are corrupted. Check the Wii operations manual for help and support troubleshooting." error right after the Safety and Precautions screen. I tried various things like deleting all wii remote pairings then syncing the balance board first, syncing it last, only syncing 1 remote and the balance board.... no matter what I kept getting this error if the balance board was synced to the console. I never got the error message a single time if I didn't sync the balance board. It's really consistent, I have no doubt about it now.

Any idea what is going on here? Or how I can troubleshoot / fix this problem?

edit: the Wii Fit Plus U "shared data" also seems to have something to do with it... If I delete the shared data, I can boot vWii without the error. (even with the balance board synced) But the next time I launch Wii Fit Plus U it recreates the shared data and I start having the issue again.

so this is really weird.... the problem got so bad i literally could not get into the vwii system menu unless I de-synced the balance board first or used maintenance mode. I had plenty of blocks left on my nand but today for some reason I decided to go through all the saves on my vwii and delete anything i had duplicates of (saves from the PAL and NTSC versions of the Metroid Trilogy and a few others). All of the sudden after I did that I could boot into vWii without the error at all, with the balance board synced and everything. everytime I try now, no error. I have no idea what is going on but I thought I'd post my findings, as strange as they may be.
