From the homebrew channel, install the original 4.3E system menu wad. This will, however, remove Priiloader. After you install the system menu wad, you should back out to the homebrew channel, enter the Priiloader installer, and reinstall Priiloader. If you back out of the homebrew channel before reinstalling Priiloader and the problem isn't fixed by the reinstallation of the 4.3E system menu, then you will have no way to get back into the homebrew channel to fix your problem.

Uninstalling Priiloader is probably the worst piece of advice you can bring.
Priiloader is the only thing saving @GrabyNinja1313, assuming he doesn't have BootMii boot2.

You're right. But if the SysMenu is corrupted, there's no other possibility to fix it, and the process involves reinstalling it with the secondary result of removing Priiloader. He/She would just have to follow step by step the process as indicated by @Lacius, without forgetting not to exit from Homebrew Channel without reinstalling Priiloader.

If the user installs a clean system menu, and the corresponding system menu IOS is installed and functional, the risk of a brick is very low. I'm just paranoid and would immediately reinstall Priiloader, just in case.

@GrabyNinja1313 You might want to post a sysCheck. With it, we can give you more specific instructions regarding your system menu and system menu IOS.

This kind of advice is always welcome, even more when we're beginning with console modding. Thanks!

you may have installed the theme for the wrong system version. I believe system version is important. I have the dark theme on mine and a dark blue theme on the virtual wii.

here's mine, but note I'm on 4.1.
