mentest86(+) has nothing to do with linuxCan't we just use memtest86+ via wii linux?
I just scanned the thread, not one mention of LetterBomb. Did you try THAT?
It's a regular binary which can be launched via linux too but yeah your right, it's x86 and not this powerpc eabi or what the wii processor is.mentest86(+) has nothing to do with linux
it runs directly on the bare metal like a os and has to be coded to support this hw
unfortunatly its for x86 (like the name suggests)
but if you run linux on your wii ther are other (generic but less effective) memory testers that might be used
eg memtester
That doesn't seem right to me. I had someone send me 5 wii's from brazil for $22 USD, and I had sent Marcan a PS3 to spain and it only cost me about $50 USD. Your countries postal system must really be treating you people like suckers if that's what they are charging for shipping.Damn... i hate being on the other side of the world right now -.-
Just sending my package with a Wii (approx 2 Kilo's) will cost me 88 for North America and somewhere else in the world (so i guess south America) would be 110 Euro.
So sending is not an option . Because you can buy a new Wii for about 120 Euro. Thanks anyway for offering the help!
EDIT: Lol... i would have to pay that twice... or else it would not come back
No, it's much worse than that. From the dlog.txt dump the device certificate is apparently missing the signature from Nintendo and was issued by Root-CA00000000-MS00000000 (instead of every other wii in existence which gets issued by Root-CA00000001-MS00000002). This would indicate the entire seeprom is blank. Yet somehow it passes the boot2 version check when starting up, as well as various other checks in the hackmii installer that should fail with a broken device certificate. Data can't both exist and not exist at the same time unless the RAM is faulty, which is exactly what ninty already said.
Most likely the RAM was already faulty and the 4.3 upgrade failed because of that. Not the other way around. You might be able to use the wii flawlessly for hours, days, maybe even months but it's always going to have the risk of random crashes or data corruption.
Missing channels don't mean a damn thing.I just found out that my 4.3E wii is missing some channels?! (Wii vote channel for example)
+ i can make a Nand dump with the Simple FS Dumper. Is that anything we can do something with?
@ Deadlyfoez - I am still looking if there is no cheaper way for sending my mobo to you. I will keep you informed!
