Wii anti-brick hardware: Wii Recovery Dongle info and images revealed |
Ó
Having troubles with your constantly bricked or semi-bricked Wii? The HackMii team recently featured the Wii Recovery Dongle (a.k.a. SaveMii) on their forums, showing off the various features this hardware can do to fix any incompatibilities with your console.Developed by marcan and bushing, here's a list of the potential disaster scenarios which the Wii Recovery Dongle can steer your console away from:
- If you can autoboot ANY disc and your problem is not a bad system menu (that is, reinstalling the system menu won't fix it) then this probably won't help. If your problem can be fixed (which it probably can), you won't need this at all.
- This SHOULD let you fix the worst banner bricks (where you screw up the main arc and get a freeze on the warning screen, not after it), but ONLY if you have 3.2 or earlier, or 3.3 and the Twilight Hack (beta1) already installed, and in both cases you'll need a modchip.
- This SHOULD let you fix any semibricks-turned-bricks (Opera 404 error on boot) but you'll have to wait until a retail game comes out with a newer version if you don't have a modchip or if you have 3.3 or newer.
- In general, IF you can see anything on the screen, AND you have a system menu earlier than 3.3, AND your system menu main binary (dol) and IOS are (mostly) fine (system menu data corruption is okay), AND you have a modchip, AND your hardware is fine, THEN you can probably fix it with this.
