#AnyTitleDeleter freezing

I’ve been struggling with what I believe is a banner brick for a while now. I installed some European / currently inaccessible channels for fun about a year and a half ago, but about 6 months ago I turned on my Wii one day and got the “system files are corrupted” message out of the blue. I can’t enter maintenance mode, so I believe I have a banner brick. I found out about anytitledeleter and used it to delete almost all the random channels I had downloaded hoping that it would fix it, but nothing did. Finally I was down to the last channel to delete, the Kirby TV channel. Every other channel deleted just fine, but for some reason when trying to delete the Kirby tv channel, anytitledeleter just freezes and the channel is still there upon resetting. Does anyone know a fix for this? I have priiloader so my Wii is technically still usable but I’d like to be able to open the normal menu again. Thanks

use wii mod lite, it deletes the wad file and can fix the issue if that homebrew tool is freezing

tired oracle
#

no, do not use Wii mod lite

#

it is both dangerous and illegal

storm shore
tired oracle
#

it’s illegal to distribute

storm shore

#

idk I’m not involved with moderation

#

but some people here seem very insistent upon its continued use

storm shore
#

The mods here are a lot stricter, if they had an issue with it, I think it'd be blocked.

tired oracle
#

I’m not naming who though because it will end in a pointless argument

#

the other thing with WML is that it is not safe because it doesn’t have any checks to prevent you from bricking your system

storm shore
#

I don't need to know who it is, I'm just using reasoning with the infomation I have.

storm shore
tired oracle
#

it also tries to be more than just a WAD manager and doesn’t do it very well

storm shore
#

Idk. I've only ever used it for installing WADs.

tired oracle
#

if you want a proper wad manager use YAWM ModMii Edition

storm shore

Anyways, to summarize, WiiModLite and especially AnyTitleDeleter are not recommended for use. WiiModLite is not illegal to use or distribute. This is something that mostly WiiLink people have been saying since they joined this server. However, what the WiiLink24 and RiiConnect24 community can agree on is that WiiModLite has some hiccups (which you don't want interrupting an installation) and can allow you to do dangerous things. Try YAWM ModMii Edition, let us know if it works or not.

tired oracle
#

the reason WML is illegal is because it uses source code from another project without following its licence

#

which is the same thing as copyright infringement

storm shore
#

civil, not criminal

#

and that person should've filed a takedown request with GitHub

#

oh, for some reason I see Lar### is the creator of the project in GitHub

#

Strange, I wasn't expecting that

#

Idk if they forked it before the original supposed takedown. I wouldn't know, but it's been up for 8 years

#

I was looking at a post. They say that YAWM ModMii Edition is open source and is more stable.

Hopefully Griffin will know more about this than I do.

next shore
#

Oh sweet thank you

tired oracle
#

oh yeah YAWM will only uninstall if you have the WAD you installed with

storm shore
#

Or USB

tired oracle
#

depends on what you have the WAD on

#

usually the SD

storm shore
#

yeah

next shore
#

Yeah I think I somehow installed it directly on the nand since priiloader shows it under the "launch title" page but I don't see it under the SD card

#

I think on anytitledeleter it was under "installed channel files"

storm shore
next shore
#

Yeah makes sense

storm shore
#

Do you have the original WAD?

next shore
#

What do you mean by that? Like do I have a copy of it somewhere else?

storm shore
#

When you installed the Kirby TV Channel WAD to the NAND, did you delete it off your SD Card?

next shore
#

Yes

#

I must have at some point cause it's not on there

storm shore
#

Alright.

#

I think you're fine

next shore
#

Really?

storm shore
#

I don't think loosing the original WAD is the end of the world

#

I'm not sure if when the WiiLink24 team updates the Kirby TV channel, it creates a new unique WAD.

#

I would think you could just download the WAD from the patcher, but it on your SD card and delete it from the NAND. Worse comes to worst, I would think this would override the old channel.

#

Let me get a 2nd opinion

next shore
#

Oh ok sure

#

I might need a little help doing that but if it might work I'll try it

storm shore
#

@tired oracle I'm thinking they should get the Kirby TV Channel WAD from the WiiLink Patcher?

tired oracle
#

if that’s the channel that’s causing the brick, maybe do that

next shore
#

I don't know for sure if it is, but I have no clue what else could be causing it

storm shore
tired oracle
#

I would say try the one you can get now first

storm shore
next shore
#

Ok this is on YAWM?

storm shore
#

Yes

#

I will admit I am remembering this from WiiModLite, but it should have the same logic.

#

Heck, I'm even willing to do it along with you. I'll give it a try.

next shore
#

Oh that would be great! Thank you

storm shore
next shore
#

Oh sorry, I was busy. I'll look at this tomorrow, thank you!

next shore
#

Ah, I see now. So does this mean I should redownload the Kirby TV channel to my SD card and then try these steps?

storm shore
next shore
#

Is there just one version of the wad?

#

I have no idea where I downloaded the wad initially

storm shore
next shore
#

Probably...

#

Sorry, it's been a long time

storm shore
next shore
#

That's probably it then

#

Yeah cause I remember getting it when I got riiconnect 24

storm shore
#

Download the Kirby TV channel wad. Try using that to uninstall at first. If that fails, try to install then uninstall.

tired oracle
#

people still haven’t figured out the name change..

storm shore
#

WiiLink user

next shore
#

Lol I just remember doing this back when it was riiconnect24. I thought that and wiilink were two separate things until recently when I noticed the discords merged

storm shore
#

WiiLink had its separate patcher back then but it’s merged along with the Riiconnect24 programs

next shore
storm shore
#

I’m not sure if the WAD itself changes with each update but it’s still worth a try

storm shore
next shore
#

Sorry how do I try uninstalling it? I'm just a bit confused

storm shore
#

It’s on the video

next shore
#

Yes I saw that but like I said, I don't have the Kirby TV channel WAD on my SD card and forgot how to get it on there, do I use the wiilink patcher to download it? If so, how do I go about doing that? I'm sorry, I just don't remember exactly how I did this before

storm shore
next shore
#

How do I use the latest patcher?

#

I don’t know how to install it

storm shore
next shore
#

Ohhh got it sorry

#

I thought this was all stuff on the Wii

storm shore
#

The patcher uses Nintendo’s servers to get the original WAD then makes changes to it

next shore
#

👍

#

I’ll run the patcher here in a few minutes

#

Ok what file do I run?

#

According to the github page it does look like they recently changed something about the kirby tv channel...

storm shore
next shore
#

Uhh, I don't see that file (I'm on windows)

#

Oh wait i'm an idiot

#

I downloaded the wrong thing, I didn't see the releases under assets

#

Ahhh yes I remember this now

#

Ok just so I don't screw something up, what do I want to choose here?

storm shore
#

What’s “here”?

#

@next shore

next shore
#

In the patcher program. I’m assuming I just choose the express install and hit yes on the part with the Kirby tv channel, Wii room, etc. but I want to be 100% sure before doing it

storm shore
next shore
#

👍

next shore
#

ummm, it says there isn't enough space?

storm shore
next shore
#

I tried that first, the same thing happened with that too

#

Oh, got a different error this time. Before it was that "not enough storage" one

image.png
#

Ok I tried again and it seemed to do everything but I don't see the kirby channel in here

#

It also put it in my downloads even though I selected my SD card

#

This is my SD card's WAD folder

image.png
#

@storm shore

#

Update: I tried again and this time it worked for some reason. What's next?

#

Should I delete the old copies of the channels?

image.png
storm shore
#

I'm sorry to hear that you were having issues with the patcher. @waxen dirge Do you still manage the patcher?

storm shore
#

I assume you have YAMM installed as a Homebrew app?

next shore
#

If you mean it’s in the apps folder of my SD card then yes

storm shore
#

Alright

next shore
#

Sorry it took me a while to respond

storm shore
#

Your fine

#

So basically un/reinstall like we previously talked. Make sure you have the Kirby WAD selected

next shore
#

Alright, I’ll follow the video

#

Ok, so I want uninstall then?

storm shore
#

Yes, try uninstalling. If that doesn't work try installing (to override the current channel)

next shore
#

Hmm, I tried uninstalling and the screen says “deleting title contents…” and nothings happening. The Wii disc slot light is on too, not sure if that’s normal

storm shore
#

Allow it be on the "deleting title contents" screen for at least 5 minutes

next shore
#

Oh ok, wasn’t sure if it was frozen or just taking a while

storm shore
#

I know when I installed the channel in the video it was on the "Installing title #11 for 2 minutes

#

I had a mini heart attack, but everything worked out

next shore
#

Haha ok sounds good

storm shore
#

Here's something funny for you, I tried to use Wii Physics on my vWii. The screen froze on the menu and I couldn't turn off my Wii U. I thought I was screwed and I had to unplug my Wii U's power. It all worked out in the end.

#

But I think my issue's different because I'm not installing stuff.

#

and I was using an early Wii homebrew app

#

Still on the deleting contents screen?

next shore
#

Yes

next shore
storm shore
# next shore Yes

Ok well, I know this is easy to say cause it's not my Wii, but I think the only option is to turn off the Wii.

#

like what else are you supposed to do

next shore
#

Ok

storm shore
#

but it shouldn't make things worse

next shore
#

I mean I’ll try anything at this point

#

Oh yep it’s frozen

#

It won’t turn off from a simple press I gotta hold it

storm shore
#

oof

next shore
#

This channel just refuses to be uninstalled lol

storm shore
#

Let me know that your Wii turns on as previously. I can't hold this suspense.

next shore
#

Ok yeah priiloader came up as normal

storm shore
#

alright

#

so, I want you to go back to YAWM

#

but this time try installing

#

I want to see if you can override the old Kirby Channel with the new one

next shore
#

Sounds good

#

Ok it’s going

storm shore
#

So am I 😎

next shore
#

Ooo globe trot

#

Let’s see if it takes 20 years to install content #13

#

Hate to say this but it’s still hasn’t made any progress

storm shore
#

Ahh

#

So it's still on the installing screen

#

alright then

next shore
#

Yup

#

Still installing content #13

storm shore
#

@tired oracle Any ideas? We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

tired oracle
#

you'll neeed to fill me in on what i missed 💀

next shore
#

Just like with any title deleter this channel keeps freezing the whole thing

tired oracle
#

which channel

next shore
#

YAWM

tired oracle
#

??

storm shore
#

Kirby TV

tired oracle
#

that's odd...

next shore
#

yeah idk

#

I don’t know if the wad is corrupted and it can’t access it or something??

storm shore
#

idk

#

I don't know if you need the exact file but I would think the wad from the patcher would've worked

#

nevertheless, it is freezing just like the other programs

next shore
#

I guess it doesn’t hurt to try again

storm shore
#

if you want

#

but also

#

it's been a couple days since you opened your threat so I'm open to dm a link to another server that gives support for another opinion

next shore
#

Oh that would be great thank you
