okay let's troubleshoot two more things, then I am out of ideas....get cIOS_fix.wad, and install that INSTEAD OF (aka overwrite) rev7
[note: cIOS_fix.wad is the best version of rev5, and the most commonly used for this trick...no reason it should work if
rev7 did not, but give it a try anyway]
been trying to help him myself on irc..... cios_fix cant install as rev7 is there. Cios Uninstaller cannot be used to remove 249 as it blackscreens. no way currently to install cios_Fix. first thing i tried as it was the common solution to the black screen issue in the past
so the steps are:
1) Wad Manager 1.1 (my preference) or the custom wadmanager (yes it'll work to install 16, then you quit and start again) to install IOS16
2) custom wadmanager to install cIOS_fix.wad
3) IOS Downgrader 1.0, run it again if it errors on a few things
other thing first though:
your internet connection....
unplug your wireless router and your modem and give em a sec and plug em back in.....who knows, maybe it'll work
and that leads me to the last part, I said wireless because this is only known to definitely work with wireless,
if you have the wii LAN adaptor that may be your problem
(good luck.....if I were you and those things still didnt work, I would not give up, I would just get fresh copies of all the files and start over)
new wiis that are being made have a new boot1 and some have a "new" boot2,
nothing else "new" has been reported,
and neither of those new things
would cause the problem you are having.
so unless there is secretly a system menu 3.4.1 that identifies itself as 3.4, I dunno.
im thinking something small was changed in the ios access on new wii's that is causing an issue. probably a simple workaround of switching all the cios to 248 instead
a side thought, "blackscreen" to me reminds me of when I try to play a game that doesnt support my video mode....have you tried just using a different tv?
youre not like VGA-ing or something ar you?
not a video issue as we tried wanins pre alpha cioscorp online installer which has music and it blackscreens without sound.
