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.

How did you mess up in the "NAND dumping part"?

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.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
