You'll just lose channels and gamesaves and mii's. So you'd need to reinstall the hbc and any other channels u may have had before and want back. If you care about gamesaves and mii's you may want to back those up first (see save game manager gx or bootmii nand backup)

If you use modmii, at any time you can always feed it a syscheck from your wii to check for softmod updates. Regardless of what u decide to do re formatting.

I see. So it would still be soft modded, just without any channels then? Well, other than the default ones that is.

Would I still be able to load files (be it NGC/Wii backups or anything else) from a USB drive and the SD card or do I need to do something in particular? I'm asking because I think I loaded most things via a channel named USB Loager GX (or something like that).

I just want to make sure I don't end up messing it even more on accident. Sorry if I'm asking too many questions.

Your cios and apps will remain untouched. And if somehow u lost one or the other due to accidental official update or hard drive failure they can always be reinstalled/downloaded anyway


I decided to check channels again and delete away since I was plannning to format it anyways but then something interesting happened. Some of these game channels were indeed pretty big (200~300 blocks each when I don't remember any of them being that big or at least any bigger than 12~27 blocks each but maybe I didn't check as well as I thought I did, sorry) so I deleted them until I got available blocks again and that seemed to work as I no longer get the "System memory full" message. However, I'm still unable to launch any non WiiWare/channel titles from USB Loader GX.

I can open USB loader GX without any problem but trying to launch any Wii title makes it cash back to the system menu. Is there anything I can do to fix this? The Gamecube backups load fine (i assume this is because they're on the SD card? So maybe there's an issue with the USB drive that wasn't there before all this happened).

Btw, I realized this system doesn't have BootMii installed so I'll go ahead and try to install both that and the savefile manager just in case.

Make sure yo are using the latest version of usb loader gx and it would help if you can run a syscheck and post the contents of the syscheck.csv it will give you on the root of your sd card https://github.com/wiidev/usbloadergx/releases https://oscwii.org/library/app/SysCheckME Or you can drag and drop your syscheck.csv file into ModMii.exe and it will download everything you need and that is missing or outdated as wads and install them with a wad manager
