SaveMiiFrii - unbrick a Wii using only a GameCube controller |
Ó
Apparently, the trick works by plugging the GameCube controller into port 4 and pressing down on all the D-pad buttons (Up + Left + Down + Right) while booting up your Wii. You will probably need to take your GameCube controller apart first so that you can press down on all directions. Check it out for yourself in the video embed below.
It's not a mass-produced clone, but this could really put a hurting on Team Twiizers' plans for their SaveMii dongle. As they said before, "the market for this device is probably not big enough", and if there's a free alternative, where do you think Wii owners will turn to?
Anyway, I haven't tried this trick out myself yet (I don't have a bricked Wii), but there has been some pretty positive responses about it.

Does this work with the wireless gamecube controller?
Pretty cool method btw.
All you have to do is hold Up + Left + Down + Right? Is this like a recovery menu?
Yeah, it works with wireless controllers. should be noted the controller MUST be in the 4TH PORT to work.
Also, the controller has to be in bits so that all four buttons at once can be pressed
what do you do when the black screen comes up
Follow instructions for the savemii, it's exactly the same thing ;)
Things you will need to get this hack working...
tri-wing screwdriver
^this is not caried in any store so either find a wii repairer who might have one or order online
one gamecube controler..
now the d pad is electric conection baised meaning that you will still need to press down on the d pad to create a conection
you must have the buttons held wile you turn on your wii
my writen concent is that this hack does in fact work and i recomend it above a savemii
If I can understand the signal coming from the GC controller, I can schematic a dongle. Anybody interested?
I would be interested but whouldn't that completely defeat the purpose of this being a free hack....
