PRELOADER WILL LOCK YOUR WII ON 1st OF APRIL! NASTY JOKE

Don't do anything stupid like the guy in this thread: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144612

Just press all keys on your wii-mote like this guy mentioned: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144...t&p=1864775

Im not stupid, it was just a spur of the moment thing. GUYS DONT DELETE IOS60!!!!!!!

 

[FenrirWolf]

Wow, that's a pretty lame "joke." It's obvious that people will panic and do something stupid when it seems the console is already screwed up.

 

[Screemer]

didn't want to call you stupid. sorry if it seemed so.

it's a german saying: don't do something stupid. it just means don't do anything you might regret.

No offense taken, it was a stupid thing to do, hopefully i can play dum tomorrow and get another new one.

It was actually quite funny

.

I really don't think anyone will bugger anything up, and to be honest if they did without researching it they probably shouldn't be using the tools!

 

[funnystory]

nah i dont think it was cool to that as nintendolinky is like the 3rd person to do the same thing.It would of crapped my pants if i lived in uk and it was april 1st rite now

 

[air2004]

I was thinking that april 1st all the nintendo wiis that have been hacked and that use wifi may turn on there owners and start taking sites down .....you know what I mean

 

[Maximillion]

I wish i had posted quicker maybe could helped him before he uninstalled it =(
Im just waiting for the next post about the joke, "I broke my wii It was repairing and took ages so i took it apart and resoldered things now it wont power on" should always try the simplest things first

lol

 

[FlatFrogger]

Nice to know i'm not the only one who thinks its funny, glad to know all sense of humour hasn't dried up

 

[rommy667]

I never liked preloader for some reason on 3.2 i stuck with starfall and on 4.0 startfall is working awsome so u really dont need it and after this frankly NOT funny "joke" im even happier i dont use it

 

[funnystory]

roomy i agree its not funny to make these jokes.This is like trying to trip someone with down syndrome its just not right.You might think its funny for a second,but its really cruel.

 

[estebanchaidez]

heh, at least it separates the impatient ones from the patient ones. so i found it funny due to that.

 

[joda]

Additional funny is that the April_Fools() function seems b0rked. After a few reboots, I only got coredumps, even from a hard power off (red led).

Panic -> calm -> eject all periferals -> retry.

It seems it coredumps as long as I have an sd-card inserted; doesn't matter if sdhc or not (tried both). Have it eject, and preloader boots to the prank screen. From there just hit A and boot system menu.

I can confirm that this was because of the prank, since after I set the date to 4/2, preloader never dumps any more.

crediar could have at least tested it. codedumping is not a vvery usefull feature.

 

[kikoolol]

Ahah funny, very funny.

 

[feidhlim1986]

I assume this is only on v0.29 cos I have had no problems with v0.28

 

[SanGor]

crediar could have at least tested it. codedumping is not a vvery usefull feature.

how many have you seen with that problem now ? ONE person and you directly blame crediar for not testing it ...

 

[Screemer]

who else would be to blame? you always need sb to blame and here i am to blame.

crediar is doing excellent work but in my eyes this joke is a little bit nasty.

 

[cardyology]

Wtf? So there was something built into wii-brew that leads you to believe there is something wrong with your console on april 1st?

And its caused people to panic & do things that have ended up with bricked wii's?

Wtf?
