I'm thinking it's probably been at least 10 years since I had my Wii Modded and just recently got an HDMI option for it so I can use it now. Unfortunately, I wasn't the one to do it so I don't have any saved backups or anything from before the hacking so it's got me a little nervous. The Wii itself looks to be still on firmware 3.2U and has some stuff on it already. Looks like an absolute mess.

-Homebrew channel 1.1.0 on IOS37v22.31
-Configurable USB Loader v70-mod-r15
-USB Loader GX 2.3 r1123
-uLoader 4.8
-Wad Manager 1.1
-Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma
-cIOS Installer 0.3 gamma
-GC Backup Launcher 0.2
-GCMM 1.0
-MIOS Patcher 0.1 XI
-MIOS Patching Wad Install 1.1
-NeoGamma R9 Beta 36
-Priiloader 0.3
-Riivolution v1.04
-SoftChipR99
-Wad Installer
-Wad Uninstaller

Honestly looks like a bunch of garbage to me. What should I do to clean all this up and just have everything up to date? Just afraid to do anything and then have the darn thing brick on me.

You may want to start by using priiloader/bootmii to create a nand file to backup in case of any bricking. Copy your SD card in case you want old copies. Then I would just start from scratch to be honest, update to 4.3 and download the latest homebrew and apps. If you search YouTube you can find fantastic modding guides that are step by step.
Worst case scenario a used wii will run you $40 and you will have an ‘extra’ controller

I suppose that's true haha. They aren't too expensive and I guess technically I already have another one on my Wii U. I'd just rather be able to use all my gamecube controllers.

Use modmii

I took a look at that but was a little confused where to start since my wii is already modded with homebrew.

Update:

Looked into modmii some more and actually got myself where I want to be with the system. All is good now! :)

    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
