So now I get the health warning screen, and after I get the "some system files are corrupted or missing" message.
I can boot my wii into recovery mode using a GC controller, and it says 4.0U at the bottom right. When I insert a legitimate Wii game, the drive spins like it's trying to load the game, and doesn't stop trying but goes nowhere.
When I insert a burnt game or unbrick disc, it seems to stop trying almost instantly. I thought getting a chip would fix this part, so I got a FlatMod chip.. Same thing.
The chip hasn't been pre-configured to autoboot discs, but one of the features is that if you press the eject button when the drive is empty, it's supposed to set it to autoboot mode. Do you think I need to config the chip to go autoboot by default?
Also, can anyone tell me if the FlatMod chip saves the configuration on the chip? So say if I put the chip in my bro's Nintendo Wii and use the flatmod config disc to set it to autoboot by default.. Will I be able to take the chip out of his wii, put it back into mine, and it still be set to autoboot? Or will it be wiped out when removed from the wii?
Been thinking of trying it but I would have to hang out at my mom's house for quite some time to be able to leave with that Wii, and if it yields nothing, I rather not go there for that reason. lol
