Error Autobooting HBC + System Files are Corrupted

[DefeatOf13]

Describe the bug Whenever i try to boot into the Homebrew Channel via Priiloader i get an error message saying "Error Autobooting HBC. Maybe title not installed?". I can't even boot into the system menu, if i try to do it another error shows up saying "The system file are corrupted, blah blah blah.". BootMii works fine though.

To Reproduce

1. Boot into Priiloader
2. Press "Homebrew Channel" and get the error "Error Autobooting HBC. Maybe title not installed?"
3. Press "System Menu" and get the "System files are corrupted" error

Version

• Priiloader 0.10.0
• HBC 1.1.2
• System Menu 4.3E (v514)

Expected behavior Boot into HBC and sysmenu without any issues.

Additional Infos The Wii i'm using is a PAL Family Edition Wii, btw the console is not bricked

May be you have a soft bricked nand, what if you try to load / install a file utem and then load a basic homebrew from your SD card? By example syscheck

Ok, i did as you said. I'm able to load / install apps without any problems (and they boot too). I tried Syscheck ModMii edition and USB Loader GX

check the System menu IOS setting in priiloader. what are your priiloader settings in general?

The "Use System Menu IOS" option is already checked. Here's my settings:

hmm, i too think you might have a softbrick. did you recently install any channels? also, try the following things :

• disable autoboot and boot HBC when menu shows up, don't hold reset on boot. does it boot HBC?
• keep autoboot disabled, and go to boot channel, can you boot HBC from there? what HBC is installed?
• put autoboot back on System menu, and set use system menu ios to off. as IOS, select a CIOS (like 249). boot SM. does it boot SM?

It's been a while since i have this problem, i can't remember

also, try the following things :

Yes, the Wii booted into the system menu and from there i was able to boot into the HBC

• keep autoboot disabled, and go to boot channel, can you boot HBC from there? what HBC is installed?

Yes, i can boot HBC from there, Homebrew Channel (LULZ) is installed

• put autoboot back on System menu, and set use system menu ios to off. as IOS, select a CIOS (like 249). boot SM. does it boot SM?

Nope, i tried with cIOS 249, 250 and 251; An error shows up saying "Error autobooting systemmenu! ES_Diverify failed! Is the IOS patched? The Wiimote disconnected and don't want to reconnect, i had to turn off forcefully the console. Btw my cIOS are patched correctly as written on wii.hacks.guide.

I setted up "use system menu ios" to on again and now priiloader can boot into the system menu without errors. Thank you so much. I discovered another thing, if i press on "Homebrew Channel" Priiloader gives me the error and then if i go to System Menu it shows the "Sys files are corrupted"; but if i go straight to "System Menu" it actually loads the sysmenu without any errors. Idk why

Yeah you have a corrupted NAND try, run ModWii https://modmii.github.io/ (https://gbatemp.net/threads/best-way-to-mod-any-wii-modmii-for-windows-official-support-thread.207126/) on your computer and reinstall everything, you can load the HBC installer from Priiloader.

wrong. priiloader is fucking with the loaded IOS and SM can't load certain files.

[DefeatOf13]

What do you suggest to do? (always if there is something that can be done)

[impeeza]

Oh, @DacoTaco a wrong priiloader like the vWii on the Wii?

so he could reinstall priiloader to try to fix the problem?

The priiloader installer can be loaded from priiloader?

[DefeatOf13]

Resolved, i installed this version of the HBC and now Priiloader can render to it without any errors. Tysm for the help

[DacoTaco]

i suspect this was an Priiloader setting issue together with invalid HBC installation or somehow it had a titleID that is unknown to Priiloader.

we will never know now though :)
