HI,everyone, me again
Please, will it require an optical drive when running any channel in vwii?

My wiiu has a 160-1400 error. So I blocked the optical drive in De_fuse(set SEEPROM SATA device type >>No device), but now, I will get a black screen when I launch any channel in vwii, any channel, like Mii channel, manual channel ,The console will get stuck and the POWER key will no longer be useful. Vwii has no hacked. In addition, I tried to use vWii Decaffeinator to fix it, but the problem still persists.

So, may i ask, when launch any channel in vwii, will it check the optical drive?

THANKS at all!!!

Afaik, yeah, the Wii does throw an error if it doesn't detect a drive, unfortunately.
Yep!about Wii,we need mod ios to cancel checking the optical drive. but for vwii, I believe we can't find such mod ios,
It's really unfortunate :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Maybe VC injects could still work, as they emulate the disc drive

And what are they doing on these handheld wii mods? Maybe we can borrow something from there?

Thank you very much! I tested WII VC and it worked very well. :D
I would get a replacement drive or take one out of a donor.
I tested the drive from the donor,It still throws 160-1400 error,under normal circumstances, mismatched SEEPROM will throw 160-1402 error. So the problem is not with the drive,It's about the motherboard.:D
You could give this a try:
Yep! thanks! In fact, I have already checked CM9 and CM10 , I also checked the voltage (12V, 5V, 3.3V), I checked the resistance of the SATA line to GND,I replaced four coupling capacitors, It still throws 160-1400 error. I have no other choice. So I gave up. As SDIO said, WII VC is a great solution.:P

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament

    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
