Homebrew Channel and Wii Unbrick Info
This is something that a lot of people who have semi-bricked their Wiis are just going to love. Bushing has released an unbricking tool for people who have bricked their NTSC (USA) Wii’s. I’ll go into full detail explaining this to make it very simple to understand the problem and the solution.Also almost out is the homebrew channel. The release video can be seen here.
First the unbricking - Or rather the bricking (in simple terms “dead” console”). In the modding your Wii post that I wrote earlier, I had described the reason you can brick your Wii. The most important thing you need to understand here is that bricking happens ONLY because of the modchip in your console which allows games of other regions to play on your Wii. If you were unlucky enough, i.e. you didn’t have your Wii updated to the latest firmware and a game from other region updated your Wii, then chances are you’ve bricked your Wii. Your only upside in this situation can be a semi-bricked Wii (this video shows what a bricked Wii would be like). Since you modded your console you’ve voided your warranty and the chances are that the nintendo service guys won’t repair it for you. If they do it then you must thank god for that. If they did not repair it, read on. In this shit of a situation, your relief might be in the fact that you didn’t completely ruin your console by landing it somewhere in between. If your Wii is semi-bricked, then it will boot fine but you won’t be able to go into settings (you’ll get an error which looks something like a webpage).
The recent games that have allowed people to brick their Wii include the ‘Mario Kart’, ‘Super Smash Bros Brawl’ and ‘Super Mario Galaxy’. All these discs had the mandatory firmware update in them and if the disc was from another region (if you have a US (NTSC) Wii and the disc was a European one (PAL)) then in a modded console, it would result in an update inappropriate for your system leading to a dead piece. Practically.
What Bushing has done in his work is basically made a disc (available for all the regions - put the one corresponding to your region) which includes the latest update from nintendo. So if you semi-bricked your Wii, then all you need to do is download the disc from here(JAP), here(PAL) or here(US) and pop it into the console and let it update. Viola! You should now have a normal working Wii!! You can read up more on it here and here.
If you have completely bricked your Wii (you get a Webpage when the Wii boots up) there is still no respite, but the work is on and you should see some bubbles of joy very soon indeed.
Coming on to the homebrew channel. This is just a superb, marvellous piece of homebrew that has come into development for the Wii. With this you’ll be able to play your old games (NES, SNES etc) and homebrew games from a channel on the Wii!! It also has support for the TCP socket launcher for the Wii. With this tool, you can launch your .elf files on the Wii just by using the software from your computer and sending the file to the Wii. You can read up more on this here. The display is extremely beautiful and rather simple at the same time. This should eliminate the need for you to clutter up your Wii channels. Just load all your games via this channel (that you own, ofcourse).
Get back your Wii up and running with the unbrick tool if it was semi-bricked. If it wasn’t then just wait to rock with the homebrew channel and I hope this post was atleast informative / potentially helpful.
