My Wiimote Shuts Off When I Load The Homebrew Channel

[reversalmushroom]

Ever since my wii was updated to 4.3 because of Skyward Sword my wiimotes shut off when I go to the homebrew channel. How can I fix this? I'd prefer not to downgrade my wii because I'll just have to update it again when I try to play Skyward Sword. Is there a better solution? And Don't say to use the gamecube controller because the majority of the apps are wiimote only.

PS - Re-syncing the wiimotes doesn't work.

You don't need to downgrade, should be working fine..
Did you reinstall it using letterbomb after you updated to 4.3?

[reversalmushroom]

No.

[_Nold_]

maybe you should have a try on that..
As far as i know did Nintendo "fix" the hbc with the update to 4.3.. So this could be a reason, but i'm not really shure ^^

These are some new Wiimotes with build-in Wiimotion+

They have some kind of "HBC Protection in it". There was a thread on gbatemp some time ago which i can't find any more.

work in HBC and don't work in HBC.

Here's a thread (which i found using google, since i can't find neither using google, nor on gbatemp the thread i got that information from.

The newest Remote Plus Controller don´t work with Homebrew.
Nintendo now build there antihomebrew protection into the Hardware.

Didnt read the link. There is also the answer

[infact]

will be supportet soon: http://devkitpro.svn.sourceforge.net/vi ... ision=4884

Yes I hear that the HBC guys are working on things..

[reversalmushroom]

My old wiimote still works. For a while there I thought I was SOL. And I tried using the LetterBomb method of re-installing the homebrew channel. When I opened the letter, nothing happened. Is there supposed to be some kind of message that alerts you that the homebrew channel is being/was installed, or do you open it and it installs it without telling you anything? My homebrew channel was already at 1.0.8, so I don't know if it did nothing, or if it installed a channel I had before.

[_Nold_]

whats weird.. normaly you open it up and then it showns the "black console screen" like every other exploit.. after that you get insode of the bootmii installer where you can install HBC and/or bootmii...

[reversalmushroom]

I did everything that the article(http://wiibrew.org/wiki/LetterBomb) told me to do, but this step is a cause for concern to me:

Requirements

1. SD or SDHC formatted as FAT16 or FAT32 (Preferably FAT16)

My SDHC card is FAT32. Now why does it say "Preferably FAT16"? Does FAT32 sometimes not work?

But I guess ultimately it doesn't matter. I can always use my old wiimote, so unless reinstalling the homebrew channel is going to make my wiimotion+ wiimotes work, I don't see a point in reformatting.

[reversalmushroom]

Also a cause for concern is the website where you get LetterBomb. You have to tell it your wii's MAC address, but you can only input capital letters, when my MAC address uses all lower case letters. Is this method of homebrew installation case sensitive? Has a wii ever used uppercase letters in the MAC address?

[infact]

Lowercase or uppercase does not matter MAC adresses are unique.

[antidote]

Check the date on your wii, make sure it's correct. I had that problem when trying it on my wii, it's date was set to 2010 instead of 2012

FAT16 is more reliable but FAT32 does work

[liquitt]

MAC adresses are unique.

better not rely on that!

[infact]

you got me wrong. it was meant like this:

08:00:AA:BB:CC:DD == 08:00:AA:bB:cc:DD

[liquitt]

no i got you, BUT there have been cases where so-called unique mac adresses were spotted out in the wild

Nintendo now build there antihomebrew protection into the Hardware.

It might not be a problem if it wasn't for the pirates; homebrew attracts pirates like food attracts pigeons. Different kind of mess though.

No, it's all just cause the code in libOGC was communicating with the wii remotes incorrectly to begin with

[reversalmushroom]

Could someone please remember to post a reply to this thread when the people who are working on this problem have a breakthrough?

[emu_kidid]

They have fixed it in SVN, only a matter of time before a new HBC and homebrew to follow.
