Hacking What will happen if there is a power cut...

[Scolor]

My electricity is not so stable...so, I was thinking, what could happen if there is a power cut when I'm installing a wad file with wad manager?

[Sorry for my English

you'll be f"ed

 

[Scolor]

Entirely?

Will I be able to use a self-bootalbe ISO of Wad Manager or AnyTitle deleter to remove the WAD ?

You should use Starfall to install the recovery menu thing and have the TP Hack on your Wii just in case.

could always invest in a UPS

maybe the wad will just be broken, it wont cause a corruption for the nand to hault....
so you would be able to delete like normal why don't you test...

Yes, I already have on, but I can't connect the Wii to the socket of this UPS.

I don't want to test because I don't want to brick.

actually it happened to me....I was downloading paper mario,and nothing happened,dunno if there was any data left on wii cause i was HBC free at the time,but after i redownloaded it,everything worked.. so no fear... I guess

Well but you was DOWNLOADING, not INSTALLING.

WAD should just be corrupted.

If that is the case, DONT RUN THE WAD!
Boot up WAD manager, make a uninstall of the WAD.
Reinstall WAD, and it should work.

(Im just guessing)

yeah it wouldn't brick you at all, so it's no worries...

 

[Bladexdsl]

it prob will brick you cos a half installed channel on the wii will confuse it and it will refuse to start

I'l test later on, i know fine well it wont cause the Nand to come to a hault, just a broken channel...

I've had this happen on a couple of times because I'm rural so power comes and goes in storms.
I've never bricked, they just don't work so I uninstall and re-do.
Can't say this would always be the case, but it's happened to me a good few times.

Take the usual precations (starfall etc)

Plan B buy a cheap inverter and install wads in the car or run an extention lead
