Hacking I can access recovery mode, how do I unbrick?

[The Real Jdbye]

So I saw a drivekey modchip for 35$, my system is on 4.3u and is pre-q4 2008, so will it work?

It should.
Looks like DriveKey has autoboot built in, but I'm not sure if you can enable it without a working Wii. If you can, then you just have to enable that and load a disc of Smash Bros Brawl with the Smash Stack files on the SD card, and from there you can load AnyTitle Deleter. Otherwise, you'll have to patch the title ID of a Smash ISO, looks like you can use this tool to do that automatically, but the download link is dead: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_BootMe
There's also another tool called Wii Autoboot Creator, but dead links everywhere...
Edit: I found another link to Wii BootMe, hopefully the link still works, I haven't checked as you need to sign in to download it, check this thread and scroll down to the middle of the page: http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?op=modload&name=Forums&file=viewtopic&forum=88&topic=5731

Maybe? Is the effort and drive chip cheaper than getting another Wii from a pawn shop, though?

I'd rather keep my saves, and there are no local pawn shops that have wiis
or craigslist listings.

so will this allow me to autoboot without a modchip?
EDIT: Well seems that EurAsia requires a "New User Passowrd" Do you have it?
RE-EDIT: Got the NUP, Im all set

No, you still need a modchip to run the patched ISO. Unless you have DarkCorp/CiosCorp which you probably don't.
NUP?

On EurAsia you have to have an acc. In order to download files. In order to make an account you have to go on their IFC server and ask for, honestly it's a load of bs just to get a file. btw how do I patch iso's using this?
P.S I was able to get download, might reupload it on mediafire or something so people won't have to EurAsia'S bs account system

There are instructions here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_BootMe
But basically, you run it in a command prompt.
If you're going to reupload it, upload it to the correct section in filetrip.net, that ensures that people who need it will be able to find it.
