Hey guys, I modded a second wii mini with the wifi mod, rgbii mod and installed an SD-Card port.
Everything booted up fine immediately.

Then installed homebrew launcher using bluebomb and immediately after installed priiloader.
Chose the suggested settings for priiloader to block updates and region free everything.
Followed the guide here -
https://wii.guide/bluebomb
https://wii.guide/hbc-mini

Then went to restore system menu for rgb/wifi/sdcard following this guide -
https://github.com/webhdx/WiiMini-SDRST/wiki/Software-guide-(WiFi-module-installed)

All the wads installed no problem, went to restart the system... aaand the system menu did not change at all.
Everything was working fine though so went back into Wii Mod Lite to try and just install the wads again but now it gets stuck on "...Apply Patches...Please Wait...!!"

So I thought maybe the block updates option of priiloader was causing issues, so I disabled the block updates options and uninstalled priiloader.
Then I used YAWMM ModMii edition to reinstall the wads since Wii Mod Lite still was getting stuck on "...Apply Patches...Please Wait...!!"
Everything installed fine once again... but the system menu still didn't change at all

If I try to use SimpleIOSPatcher for Mini to be able to use RealWnD for Mini to make a nand backup, I get a message like this - "ios36 revision is 3608 UNKNOWN"
When I load YAWMM ModMii, at the top it says - "IOS 58 v6176, System Menu: Unknown USA (NTSC-U/C)"

I was thinking maybe I could use BootMii to reset and retry following this video -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdBjbOtwJGo&ab_channel=sthetix
But you need an SD card for BootMii and although I installed one, can't use it without installing the full Wii System menu first...

I have several times followed the guide to redownload the System Menu, EULA and "full_backup_latest_ios.nus" downloads but nothing has changed.
At a complete loss on what to try next, any help would really be appreciated

To help troubleshoot your issue please run Syscheck and test all IOS on your Wii by following this guide:
https://wii.hacks.guide/syscheck

When it's done it will generate and display a syscheck.csv file.

Power down the Wii and insert the SD or USB into a PC. Drag and drop the syscheck.csv file from the root of your SD or USB into chat.

You can also upload the report and link the URL to chat or take photos of the entire report if you don’t have a USB or a SD reader on your PC

#

If syscheck crashes lmk

winter wharf
#

Will do, and thank you for the help

winter wharf
#

I recorded and looking through the frames it actually gets to generating the report but then crashes

#

Same happens with any individual IOS I test

hollow forge
#

Lemme get you the version that actually works

That worked! Here are the reports -

well this is rather interesting. the system menu is the only remnant from the wii mini components

#

oh wait did you do the konami code in YAWMME

winter wharf
#

no, I just manually went through the list in the wads folder and selected them all then installed

hollow forge
#

okay yeah, so yawmME has a brick protection measure that prevents you from overwriting the System menu sometimes

winter wharf
#

oh hrm

hollow forge
#

you need to do the konami code at the first screen to disable it

winter wharf
#

ohhhh really

#

okay I'll give that a shot

hollow forge
#

when it is disabled, you will only need to install the system menu wad

#

and then hopefully it will work

winter wharf
#

WEW

hollow forge
#

Excellent.

#

Wii mod lite is pretty much depreciated at this point

#

We’ve been trying to get it removed from the open shop channel

winter wharf
#

I was about to say I wonder why it was crashing

hollow forge
#

It wasn’t that great of a wad manager to begin with

winter wharf
#

I could make a suggestion to replace it in the guide if theres a place to do that

hollow forge
#

Both Wii guide and Wii hacks guide should be recommending yawmME

winter wharf
#

hold on, I'll find the spot

hollow forge
#

As for the open shop channel

winter wharf
#

Ahh its part of webhdx's guide, I'm in his server I'll make a post and just explain I had a lot of issues with it maybe suggest to replace it with yawmME in his guide

hollow forge
#

Guh

#

Well that makes sense

#

ill message him about it
