Bricked Wii Family Edition

AfanGotTheWiiOn26December · 2024-04-17T12:49:34+00:00

I was installing WAD's and accidentally selected the Wii Startup Menu WAD. It shows no signs of life other than the disk drive loading up and power light. What can I do? It had Priiloader and BootMii, with a backup.

I've noticed a lot of installers tell you to remove Gamecube memory cards, and I've always done it. What's the actual reason for this? Just curious.
