Most likely save corruptionjaybee said:I often wondered if a power failure while a game is saving to the nand can cause a brick. When it appears with the saving.... no dont touch reset or power off the wii. Would that cause a brick or just corrupt saves? I don't think i'm gonna turn it off to find out tho!tj_cool said:The most "unbrickable" you'll get is by using SNEEK (needs BootMii) and never even touch the real NAND (but that's maybe not what you want)
This would be true if Sneek was able to boot ISO games off hdd using a usb loader.
Not being able to run backups has nothing to do with brick safety

Yeah, but the actual game is on ROM so it can't be overwrittenkyle007 said:i believe its just a corrupt save, like if you were playing a game on the n64, i took the cartridge out while it was savingand its not like it corrupted the entire game lol just the save.

And no unfortunately not jaybee, one or two people have publicly said they compiled gxbut other than that im afraid no progress there.
kyle007 said:well thats my point, kind ofdo you think when the wii is saving a game it touches crucial stuff to the wii's performance? doubtful, and obviously the ios aren't in ROM since they need to be updated lol but its not like you'll see "saving and updating system menu, please dont turn off or reset the console"
kyle007 said:maybe, i've seen some stuff in newer programs i forget what its called basically "smart crashing" lol it detects errors when they're about to happen and stops everything and gives you the chance to close the program before it crashes or to continue anyways (its nice cause at least on my computer when some programs crash i can't even open task manager or anything have to turn it off completely) so if the wii had something similar? i dont know basically uh oh something bad is about to happen to the nand, stop everything lol
kyle007 said:i think they'll definitely be some crazy stuff attached for the new metroid game, and the new zelda game. Maybe some crazy stuff like, poke cios' if its not a stub disc read error lol and almost definitely bca protection. though thats easy enough to get around.
