First off, I read your original unedited response where you gave me some advice and mentioned you would have to update your post later with more specific instructions on account of you currently using your phone and your battery almost being dead. I felt truly honored good sir. I consider that above and beyond. Your love and dedication for this community is unquestionable. As is your kindness towards your fellow man. Thank you!
Concerning this solution, sadly, no change at all. I did exactly as the guide suggested:
Using WiiXplorer...
- Copy "shared2\" folder from nand to my SD based "nands\pl_xx\" folder
- Copy "cert.sys" from nand "sys" folder to my SD based "nands\pl_xx\sys" folder
Afterwards, the behavior remains unchanged.
- When I launch a WiiWare title the lights turn off on all of my controllers.
- When I press a button the lights blink for one second and then stop blinking. I must manually power off my Wii as the controllers are unoperational at that point.
- When I power the Wii back on none of the controllers are synced and I must start over.
