Can't Resync Wii Controller (fix or bypass the libogc issue)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I know that this was a problem with the original PreLoader and it appears 
to still be an issue with Priiloader too. However I think for those cases 
where people don't have a GC controller Priiloader should either have a 
way of resyncing the controller or be able to move thru the menus just 
like BootMii does so that we can get back into the system menu when our 
controllers are not insync anymore.

to get syncing to work (as in red buttons) libogc will need to get support for 
that
(which it doesn't atm)

also, to have the buttons do shit would mean killing half the stuff it can do 
right
now. there is only 1 thing i can do and ill think about it (reset = boot system 
menu)

Would something like this work. Instead of holding the reset button to get to 
the 
menu. Could you add it so that if someone wants to bypass priiloader they press 
and 
hold the eject button instead to get to the System Menu.

no cause eject does stuff :)

i guess ill force priiloader to autoboot system menu ;)

Ahh Didn't know it had a function. I tried holding it down and it didn't do 
anything 
so I was assuming you weren't using it.

But I think it would be a good failsafe for those who lose sync and needs to 
get 
back to the system menu. Luckily gamestop still carries the GC Controllers so I 
was 
able to go that route ;)

I had this issue borrowing a friends Wii and not getting their controllers. The
system autobooted to priiloader and I was stuck.

Is it possible to do combinations of buttons or sequences. Something like press 
reset
while in priiloader or press it twice or something?

If you have priiloader 0.3 installed. Daco added a way to get to the sysmenu 
without
needing the GC controller. All you have to do is hold the reset button and wait 
till
it gets to the Priiloader screen. Wait 15 seconds and hit reset again and then 
it'll
boot to the sysmenu. 

If you have 0.2 or below you will have to use a GC controller.

Would it be possible to assign just one button to load the system menu, say push
reset and the system menu loads. Or perhaps a timer, 1 minute in priiloader and 
it
auto loads the system menu, or other.

Also is their (or could there be) a system menu booter, like bootmii booter, 
that
would bypass priiloader and load the system menu. Then you could use an 
alternate
method to load the system menu at boot, with bootmii.

I personally think what Daco did in 0.3 is good enough. Why is it so hard to 
hold the
reset button wait 15 seconds then hit reset again? 

As far as a bootmii booter. This would require writing your own custom MIOS. I 
don't
think anyone wants to take the time on writing a MIOS just to bypass 
priiloader. With
that said, if you are stuck on 0.2 or below then the only way to fix is by 
going to
gamestop and buying a cheap GC controller for like 10-15 bucks.

no its perfectly possible i think. just load the renamed dol. i guess it should 
work :)

but i find it retarded since:

1) 0.3 has the reset to autoboot system menu
2) 0.3 has made default autoboot system menu instead of nothing. so what

It is retarded, but it seems like it could have two uses. First in some 
countries
gc-controles are a litle harder to come by and cost more cash. I only bring it 
up
because some had this issue with bootmii installed, but a gc-controller cost to 
much.
I paid 5 bucks for mine from ebay, but it is a big world. So with bootmii and a
loader that launched the renamed dol, it would have helped them.

Also I don't know if this has been resolved in the new version, but I boot into
usbloader-gx and return to it. It works great, but if I want to load the system 
menu
I have to hold the reset button down, or use the magicword to be able to load 
the
system menu. If there was a system menu loader, I could load it right form 
usbloader
through its app launcher.

Just a thought, great work on the app. Thank You

you dont even need a damn gc controller anymore with 0.3! <_<

and your so called "usbloader" issue is prob cause you have return to set to 
autoboot ;)

Original comment by dac...@gmail.com on 4 Feb 2010 at 4:36

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You are correct, my return is set to autoboot, as it should, since I wish for 
the wii
to return to the autoboot app when exiting the game, such as a usb loader. This
desire has made it difficult for me, and others to load the system menu when 
the blue
moon approaches and a rare need is encountered. For this reason it would be very
helpful if there was a system menu loader that loaded the renamed system 
menu.dol,
similar to the dol that loads, HBC, bootmii, and priiloader, this would be 
great. 

Another reason, again I am trying to help someone without a synced wiimote- who 
is
not fortunate enough to have 0.3 priiloader and is locked out of his menu. For 
some
reason he has bootmii, 3 gc-controllers, but they are failing him. A system menu
loader would help him. Specifically one that would cooperate with an autoboot 
bootmii
method.

If you find some spare time, a system menu loader which could bypass
preloader/priiloader would be of benefit and put to good use.

Your time is much appreciated, 
Thank you;
MauiFrog

If a GC Controller doesn't work it is 1 of 3 reasons. 
1. He doesn't have it plugged into Port #1
2. His GC Controllers are broken
3. His Wii is broken.

what luna said. also, you DO know games can sync wiimotes too right
that and anyone who is now on anything < 0.3 must have a serious issue or a 
fucking
good reason not to since its better it ever way.

Original comment by dac...@gmail.com on 17 Feb 2010 at 3:23

Yes I know that wiimotes sync in game. I have not tried, but from what I have 
read 
the sync may only be temporary. The wii is broken, phisically, bad gc ports. I 
don't 
know why he does not have 0.3, probably beacause most people are stupid noobs 
and 
don't pay attention or just don't care. But, unfortunatly, I doubt he will be 
the 
last.

Original comment by mauif...@gmail.com on 17 Feb 2010 at 6:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

but i recommend he gets a mod chip to autoboot a disc and sync a wiimote

also, depending on how you sync wiis in games they will be perma synced untill 
yous
ync them again somewhere else

I suggest when enter priiloader menu, after release rest button. Press rest 5 
times, 
loading system menu.

Original comment by noboo...@gmail.com on 15 Mar 2010 at 6:22

[GoogleCodeExporter]

no cause the reset doesn't work that way. those 5 presses would get registered 
in a
fraction of a second of pressing reset

I'm having a Wii with out-synced WiiMotes because they have been to a friend 
this afternoon. Is there any possibility to enter the System Menu? I've tried 
by pressing the reset-button. Syncing the /sync-way/.

Is there a way to automatically execute a file to sync my WiiMotes? 

using v0.3 r43

Original comment by maarte...@gmail.com on 20 Jun 2010 at 5:43

[GoogleCodeExporter]

im srry you need r47 or higher for the reset the work (cause what you are 
running is not the final 0.3 release. and only the final had the reset trick)

you need a gc controller to start system menu and sync a wiimote there is no 
other way.

...and why you aren't using 0.4 is a riddle to me...

if you are unable to sync wiimotes in the wiimenu (not priiloader; the system 
menu itself) then this isn't my issue unless it works if priiloader isn't 
installed

no luck for me...

Original comment by chronicl...@gmail.com on 7 Jun 2012 at 6:37

use the magic word app to force the menu to show up. also, about that reset 
issue; i have a beta version that might fix that if you want to give it a try...

Thank you soo much for the "reset trick"
It worked fine for me when I thought my Wii had turn into a paperweight (I have 
a recent Wii wich has no GC pad ports..)
Thanks a lot again !

Hello, I borrow my Wii to a friend to hack it and when it comes to my house my 
Wii Remote Plus can sync  in the USB loader GX. As far as I know he did the 
hack with the normal Wii Remote controller. Any solution for this?  

Original comment by brei...@gmail.com on 18 Dec 2012 at 2:54

[GoogleCodeExporter]

use the reset trick to boot System menu and sync the wiimote. when synced it 
should work. if it doesn't work after syncing in system menu then use a 
different loader cause its not compatible with the latest wiimotes.

Original comment by dac...@gmail.com on 18 Dec 2012 at 2:58

[GoogleCodeExporter]

is there any way you can make it so that priiloader could autoboot? because my 
wii's reset button is broken.
