i just bricked my wii mini by downloading probably a bad theme (i assume cause it was the right version & everything) & i changed the system menu theme, i can turn the wii mote on just fine and press a to get to the menu and it loads just fine. when i press anything even HBC the screen just freezes, when I open the wii settings it black screens. i did have priiloader installed, anyway it can be fixed or am i cooked

Try getting into Homebrew Channel through Priiloader and delete the Theme. If that ain't working, try going to BootMii through PriiLoader and restore NAND.

If you didn't installed PriiLoader, I don't think there's much you can do.

Turn off your Wii, hold RESET and turn it on without letting RESET go. It should load to a screen named "Priiloader" and then you can open the Homebrew Channel through there as it'll bypass the Wii Menu.

I do have priiloader install, also this is for the wii mini so there is no reset button.

Quick Google Search brought that you need to plug a USB Keyboard, hold ESC while turning on your Wii to access PriiLoader.

Do what you must as long as you have access to Homebrew Channel through PriiLoader.

It is relatively easy to short the two points when opening the console – or even solder in a (Reset) button.
Anyway, easiest should be the USB keyboard given the Priiloader version is new enough (which it should be).

Unfortunately NAND flashing with BootMii is not available for two reasons: No SD slot and no GC controller ports. Both would have to be added for BootMii.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.
