hey guys, long time lurker on here but I am glad to be here.


I last modded my 4.3 wii like back in 2011, I haven't touched it since 2013, so I dug it out of the closet cause I found a wii fit board at goodwill for 5 bucks wanted to play some wiifit when I did and saw that I needed to upgrade the latest CISO version. cause GX USB loader was giving me black screens.

followed this guide to the
https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/backup-launchers/installation

It worked perfectly on the CISO upgrade

so, I wanted to add some emulators and other homebrew channels to it, so I shut down the wii and put the sd card in my computer. I added the first emulator which apparently corrupted the entire sd card.

I wiped out the sd card and just put emulators on it again that way like GX USB loader and etc.

the wii is now telling me it only has CISO version 249 on it. I did the steps again in the guide but, now when I try to upgrade it I get the following error.

the USB hard drive is NTFS 500GB. It has WBFS files for the wii games and some iso files which contain gamecube roms. Cause that's how I did it 10 years ago, does this need to be changed?

Thanks for the help, really I appreciate it!!

Fat32 has a few benefits over ntfs.

Are you running a Wii or a WiiU's virtual Wii (aka vWii)? Your screenshots indicate the latter.

If this is truly a Wii and not WiiU, check out modmii to make installing cIOSs and really everything wii related much easier.

Edit: you'll notice ModMii "advertised" at the bottom of your screenshots as well :)

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon

    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
