Hello everybody! (sorry for bad grammar - not my native lang)
I have pretty common issue - Just a few days ago bought wii with preinstalled hacks, loaders etc. Normal functions works ok, but I got problems with getting into Bootmii and not sure about priiloader version. I don't want to doo anything more then just playing backups from installed usbloader gx before getting sure that I have all backups in case of bricking smth. Also, maybe I should check some options in priiloader or anywhere else.
When I trying to get into BootMii from HB channel, dvd slot just blinking blue and gray screen on tv (av or wii2hdmi). When trying to get into it from priiloader - error (Additional screenshots will be provided)

Wii version: RVL-001(EUR)
Wii Firmware version: Ver. 4.3E
Homebrew channel version: 1.1.2 IOS58 v24.32

Will be glad for help! I will respond as soon as I can.

Thank you all! Doing my backup now

#

Also, is there a way to tell if my bootmii installed as boot2? But I don't think I'll get more benefits from that_)

last wing
#

You can also run the hackmii installer again

brazen warren
#

How do I boot it from start?

last wing
brazen warren
#

Okay. Waiting for a backup thing finishing doing his things)

#

Well, no boot2 for me)

if i remember correctly i also had at least the first one as well, i think i did use a wad from an archive from archive.org instead

#

maybe the same with the internet channel

brazen warren
#

You must register me as well (that what wii said)

give me a second,

but i kinda wonder how this even works with total strangers,
i mean people post their number all over the net, but how do they get the number of those people who add them?

brazen warren
#

Idk)

#

Maybe there is a notification?

tepid crane

#

i would, but i don't have a Wii remote

brazen warren
#

Aww

last swift
#

i did add you on both of my wiis, but im in doubt its working, because its kinda confirmed already i got problems with the mail

in the moment i get the "registration to be confirmed" message

#

im curious if youre able to exchange mail with someone who actually has working mail

brazen warren
#

Gimme a moment

#

"to be confirmed"

last swift
# brazen warren "to be confirmed"

shouldnt be like this, at least thats what i expect

the moment you open the address book or add someone, there is already a connection to the rc24 server,
otherwise it wouldnt complain if youre offline

and the check if we both did add each other is just a very fast check in the database, so shouldnt take long time

#

i mean its just a guess...

brazen warren
#

Yeah, probably that what should happened

#

Smth wrong for you or/and me

last swift
#

i have a longer thread here about that, but isnt that famous as it seems

brazen warren
#

Other things btw working. Like forecast or mii contest

last swift
#

yes, everything for me except mail, and if you did follow the guide i guess will be the same for you

#

if got the dns setting forecast and news should work

#

so, its a bit annoying actualluy because mail is a major part of rc24, but i guess most people here are more caring for tha their usb loader works so they can play their games and dont care about rc24 at all

brazen warren
#

Yeah, sadly

last swift
#

and most can be actually solved by reading the guide and 5min google search

#

i mean my mother could mod a wii with the guide, its that simple

#

but people need someone to hold heir hand and spoon fed them 😆

#

so, i would be really curious if you can add someone who has a conformed working rc24 mail

#

im sitting on that since quite some time, even bought a second wii for it to have a closer look,
creating a discsord account and asked here was my last resort and so far it didnt really help much

brazen warren
#

Huh)

last swift
#

i just hope someone starts to see this as something serious enough to do something, i really would like to see mail working

brazen warren
last swift
brazen warren
#

I mean, I should try "pair" with someone else, and preferably, who have working mail

#

Also, does rii work on dolphin?

last swift
#

i dont use dolphin, so cant say much about it, but maybe they got it in the faq on the website

brazen warren
#

I don't think there is mail function in dolphin, but maybe...

#

I don't use it either)

last swift
#

i had a look on dolphin, im a linux user and there is an old and never fixed bug between dolphin and my window manager, so if i open dolphin i dont have a right click menu anymore, so screw this, using my real wii

brazen warren
#

Welp, I will look at some options tomorrow

last swift
#

ok, i got two wiis here and one i gave as a gift to a friend, and all three of them have the mail issue

#

so, i really wonder how widespread that is and being thankful for some additional feedback from other people

#

i did add you on both of my wiis

brazen warren
last swift
#

well, wiis are cheap

brazen warren
#

Not for my country. Its around $60-$65 for basic "you can bring it home and play on it" set, and mine was $90-ish with pretty good set

last swift
#

i got a wii for a friend, came with two remotes + nunchuk + motion plus addon, 45euros, can find them relatively cheap if you got the patience on ebay

#

so, i got her the whole package, like the zapper, even the balance board you get for 10 euros here

#

also the classic controller,

#

thanks to ebay

#

my friend is from malaysia, they also got wiis there of course, but less and often in shady condition with some chiense fake remotes, was cheaper to buy it in germany and send it around the planet..lol

brazen warren
#

Well, you can find better deal for my set then I said, but its very unlikely and will be maybe $15 less.
And... if we mention poor sets with near-all Chinese parts (power supply, one motion+nunchuck only etc", you can find it for maybe less then $40-50. But I personally would pay a little more for much more quality

last swift
#

yes, thats what i said to my friend, getting all genuine nintendo is frustrating trying this in a country like malasysia where china is around the corner and most people dont care anyways

so, get the stuff in germany where we got plenty

#

only thing that bother me a bit is the condition of game covers, often can really see a kid did own it before, liek dents and holes.. never had those issues with my ps3 games, and they have the same age

brazen warren
#

Or get stuff in Japan - there is not plenty, but a damn lot of these things just laying around for nothing)

last swift
#

yeah, seen a video lately on youtube, like 1dollar wii, did need a capacitor swap which the dude nearly fucked up, but i did those already

#

i guess i wouldnt like to have my menu in japanese, and i did look how region change works, seems its like half baked and just screams for future issues

#

what i dont like on my european wii is that, without extra fiddling around, virtual console games run in pal mode, means 50hz

brazen warren
#

In a country (and a town), where one switch game is like 1/6 of decent montly income... Nah, I can't afford buying games

last swift
#

can change that in usb launcher gx, but then cant keep them on sd card anymore

#

well, i only play old stuff, and ps3 and wii games are dirt cheap these days

brazen warren
#

Ps3 games is like only 1/4 a price (like, $15-20) and wii games a bit less uncommon than gc or og xbox games (there is basically none of them)

#

I wish I could have some licensed ps1 games, but they was never sold here for the beginning) same with xbox and GC (even consoles itself)

#

And we gone too far from topic of this chat)

last swift
#

ps1 games also came in those easy to break cases like music cds back then, i guess quite a few have broken hignes by now, and i they dont look that nice on the shelf, i got a few 😆

#

nobody cares anyways, i just looked around, and i see topics like need help how to create an sd card for dolphin, i mean people cant really do the smallest things alone and clog up the rc24 support for it...

#

i really wonder why the mods here dont give them the good old RTFM

#

yesterday there was a thread where someone opened it with "i just wanna play some pirated games" and wanted someone to help him fix his usb launcher gx stuff... and instead of someone saying "we dont support piracy here" half of the crowd couldnt stop helping this guy.. and sure he could have fixed it for himself just reading the guide.. so i think this kind od stuff puts the rc24 project at risk, nintendo isnt so shy with lawyers

brazen warren
#

Yeah, big N is a big F about any of their things, not even a pirate-related sometimes)

last swift
#

well, they normally deliver high qquality stuff and protect their ips, show me a single shitty mario, mario kart or zelda game, and then look at sega and sonic.. and yes they are also sometimes anti consumer, but if people dont like it, no need to buy it, no human right for software, and yes most of my games also came from somewhere... but i think its different if piracy when its even called liek that is actively supported by the community here and rc24, what this here should be about is something this person doesnt seem to care at all

#

i got the impression that most people here dont care about rc24, its mostly just a plattform to help people get their pirated games running, and i think thats a bit sad

#

i never had a wii back then, i bought my first one a few years back second hand, and i think its really awesome what rc24 did achieve, i mean those services they offer have been gone for years and now you can use a wii again like its 2009

brazen warren
#

But N can't even get revenue from wii at that point, so... You know what I mean) nobody should care as much as they care. Its like sony will sue someone from psp-mod community for posting new pro-mod firmware or smth (not talking about source codes or anything like that)

#

Sometimes its just dumb, than "right-protecting"

#

My wii rn actually my first wii, and I am glad that I finally got it

last swift
#

they might not sell wii games anymore, but they sell the wii game on switch

#

wow, interesting, i just wanted to write the name of a website i get most of my games from, and its blocked.. i couldnt use that name, so its good that they care here at least, but i still would more actively discourage people to ask for stuff when those people call it straight piracy

brazen warren
#

So it is good if I buy wii game second hand, not paying N anything, but bad if I make my own dvd with game for personal use... Something not quite fit here)
I am not forcing/advertising anyone to pirate games, and if I could afford - I would buy licensed wii games (even second hand) and even "new reskined "hd" versions" on newer consoles. Sometimes it's not "a choice", but "the only possible way"

last swift
#

well, sure there is a different between downloading something that is not actively sold by the original developer anymore or something that is still sold outhere, lets say im also quite flexible on that, especially when its older games, and im strongly for game and software preservation in general, and the wii is a cool and quirky system and big milestone in video game history, i just dont like the mentality of some people that everything has to be for free

brazen warren
#

Yeah, we're pretty much on the same thing, but with a bit different words

#

Anyway, its 4:24 AM here, and I should have gone to sleep a long time ago)
Thank you for conversation and all)
