install bootmii and make a back up of your nand in your wii, if anything happens you can restore the wii to normal again. :)

Thats the 1st lesson of softmodding

You can't really do the hack wrong. It's an incredibly simple process.

And it's incredibly simple for Nintendo to find ways to f those up.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I'm not sure discussing proper hacking techniques is the best thing here.

well this is about softmodding and the first thing you do when you softmod is to install bootmii and back up your nand in case something goes wrong so you can restore your wii to how it was before that something went wrong.

There is nothing illegal about softmoding so i dont see the problem, since he has had system files corrupted message he better make a nand back up while the system files work in case it happens again and wont fix it self like it did this time.

I am just trying to help the guy out if that is bannable then banned I am.

So you had some problems with your Wii but now it works fine...

a more accurate thread title would be: "Slightly. Odd. Thing."

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

hey thetonestarr, my advice to you is that you should "downgrade" your system menu, in doing so the downgrade tool uninstalls your current (corrupt) system files and install older (but uncorrupt) files, from Nintendo servers btw ;)

The way the Wii upgrades is incremental. files just get added, not replaced. so if you want to get rid of your corrupt files, you cant just upgrade to fix it. you can update again after you downgrade.

"Formatting" your Wii won't work either, when you "format" your Wii, you are actually just deleting messages, contacts and save files, NOT system menu files, your Wii doesn't go back to factory setting after formatting, It stays at the same system menu. if you tried formatting, you'd just stay at 4.2 system menu. so no use formatting your Wii.

Of course you should back up your Wii harddrive (the Wii's NAND) before doing any of this, like vaio suggested :)
