So I was testing out my games via USB Loader and then got the error after pressing the home button. I tested SSBB and played it for like 5 minutes it worked fine. Then I tested Mario Kart Wii which work fine until I pressed Home Button which boom I got "The System files are corrupted". Now every time I try to go to Wii Mode I get that error, I tried removing the SD card, unplugging the console and nothing work. I can't even go to the Maintenance Mode, it just goes straight to the error.

I followed the "Full vWii Softmod" guide and installed everything in there except for Wii Flow since I prefer USB Loader. I did messed up in the Nand Dumping part, but I don't think that can effect anything since that's basically just a recovery file that vWii doesn't even support right now? Basically after the Nand dumping was done, I accidentally clicked the app again which I guess overwrote the Nand files that I had just back up, I didn't want to wait another 2 hours so I unplugged the console. So could it be the Wad channels that I installed?

This is basically every Wad channels that I installed:
USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 v14 vWii Glass.wad
HBC Forwarder - GHBC -vWii
Pokemon Puzzle League wad

I only had my Wii U for a day so I can always exchange it for another one, I just what to know what went wrong so I can be prevent it next time.

I accidentally click the app again on the HBC menu after finishing backing it up which I think overwrote the files, I didn't want to wait another 2 hours for it to back up so I unplugged the console. The vWii mode was still working after though so I don't think that was the problem, beside isn't it just copying files to the SD card? I don't see how that can screw up my console.

I ask because if you check the forums i just posted a question that relates to this problem, I could use some advice myself. I think your problem has something to do with that channel forwarder you installed.

Are you getting that error right when you try to launch Wii Mode, when you try to launch the USB loader, or when you try to launch a game?

If one of the latter two, when are you plugging in your USB drive? Make sure it's after Wii Mode has already started.


And no, failing to backup your nand shouldn't have caused this. It was a pretty bad idea to not let it finish, though.

The user that replied to me says it may be an SD issue. Do you think I should unplug my wiiU and plug it back in? I know it's not writing anything and just reading the NAND but I'm still nervous.

Nah, I couldn't go into Wii Mode like at all.

All is good though, I just did an exchange for a new one. Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time.

P.S I should be able to download N64 Wad like Zelda: OOT, Pokemon Puzzle League, right? Just want to make sure that wasn't the problem.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
