Wii outputs a random color screen when turned off.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Simply turn off the Wii at the system menu, or in game.
2.A random color screen will occur (Dark Green, Dark Blue, Dark Yellow)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Normally, the Wii would shut off and the TV would say "No Signal Detected." 
Instead, I do not get this screen and a random color will appear on the screen 
(Dark Green, Dark Blue, Dark Yellow). If I hold down the power button for 5 
seconds, it disables Wiiconnect24 and it outputs nothing, and the TV goes into 
standby like normal.

What version of Priiloader are you using? On what ios/system menu?
I'm using Priiloader 0.4 on Wii Menu 4.3v2

Do you have any IOS patches installed? (if so which ios and what patch?)
I'm using cIOS36, and it patched IOS249.

What are your wii system menu settings?
Wiiconnect24 is enabled, I'm using 480p mode.

if you want to take the risk of running possible unstable code then please try 
it with the beta i posted

there

Actually, I found a temporary solution. All you have to do is turn off Standby 
for Wiiconnect24. You can still have WiiConnect24 on, but you just have to turn 
off the Standby function. If this is done, then the Wii will stop outputting a 
random color screen and shutdown like normal. Also, the Wii will instantly shut 
off if you do this (instead of taking about 5 seconds like it used to).

Another thing I now remember was that before Priiloader was installed, the Wii 
would output a black screen (not a random color) if you turned off your Wii 
from the Homebrew Channel, so I don't really think this is only a problem with 
Priiloader, but all homebrew in general. I'm thinking this has to do with the 
way Wii homebrew is coded, and possibly DevKitPro.

ye, and my beta doesn't shutdown like most applications :P (it actually shuts 
down the video interface manually before shutting down)

have you tried the beta yet? 
i really want to know the result >_<

I would try it out, but I don't (and can't) have Bootmii as boot2. If I did, I 
would have tried this right away. I'm worried my Wii will brick if I install 
unstable code. 
If I was to do this and my Wii would brick, would I still be able to boot into 
the recovery menu (to boot Super Smash Bros Brawl)? Also, I have an LU64 Wii 
along with Darkcorp (Only for booting SSBB from the recovery menu if I need to) 
and patched cIOS 222, 223, and 249.

UPDATE: I thought I would give it a go, but I'm getting a little problem. Once 
I open up the program, two white dots (they look like up arrows) are on the top 
of my screen. After 4 seconds, I get taken back to the Homebrew Channel. This 
is the same issue as DrewCU. It's also weird because we both have our video 
settings set to 480p with 16:9 widescreen, but I don't have a Drivekey. I know 
it's the program because I just tried it on 3 SD cards and none of them worked 
out. I also changed my video settings and WiiConnect24 settings to see if that 
is the issue, but I still get 2 white dots/arrows.
What is going on?

ok, so the video issue happens more then i thought :P
check if it still installed or not(hold reset to boot priiloader). if it 
didn't; i guess youll have to wait untill i fix that issue :')

It didn't install. I didn't even get the option to. Whenever I open it directly 
from the Homebrew Channel, 2 white dots appear. No option to install, or any 
indication to do anything. It just locks up for 4 seconds and then it returns 
to the Homebrew Channel. I wonder if it's because I never installed 0.5 (it got 
taken down before I had the chance.) I won't mind running 0.5 on my Wii (I have 
internet on it) Can you send me it, or should I just wait?

@tflouras : ...do you have cioscorp or darkcorp installed...?

Original comment by dac...@gmail.com on 17 Oct 2010 at 12:36

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@daco65 Yes, I have darkcorp. I only use it to boot Super Smash Bros. Brawl 
through the recovery menu.

sadly, i have no suggestion. its weird it still happens as priiloader shuts 
down the video interface completely by hand :/

Well, there is something that did change. It isn't using a random color 
anymore. It only outputs black. Still, it is an issue that maybe someone else 
has a solution too. I'd suggest asking the creators of the Homebrew Channel 
because they actually released an update (v1.0.1) that fixed what they call 
"video after shutdown". You should ask them what they did to fix that bug or 
look in the source (if they will provide one). It's probably fairly easy to fix.

Here's a link to the changelog (from wiibrew.org)

a shutdown from HBC does not give the issue? :/

Original comment by dac...@gmail.com on 18 Oct 2010 at 4:55

[GoogleCodeExporter]

That wasn't what I was trying to say. I'm saying that they fixed the issue in 
1.0.1. However, it doesn't work because when you shut off the Wii, it goes 
though the IOS priiloader uses (the first one, I think) and for some odd reason 
turns the video on.
When I just had Homebrew Channel, it did do the same thing, but it got fixed. 
Also, I'm guessing when you shut down the video interface, it probably wasn't 
at the very end. Therefore, when it goes through the IOS, it doesn't find that 
command and skips to turning off the Wii. Remember, this only happens when 
WiiConnect24 is on. If I turn it off (or just the standby), it works and does 
not output a black screen.

cause without standby the wii fully shuts down. however, priiloader kills the 
interface even before it shuts down the dvd drive (check that, if im correct 
the dvd should still be spinning when you get those weird random colours )

i just wonder why on your wii its still outputting SOME video output while on 
others it gives no output :/

Original comment by dac...@gmail.com on 18 Oct 2010 at 2:39

Guess what? I just checked that and the DVD drive DOES stop. The only thing 
that is different when WiiConnect24 is on is USB ports are powered and the 
video output problem occurs. However, I have an idea. Can you edit the beta you 
gave me so when it turns off, the Wii drive blinks a certain amount of times (5 
would work well). This way, we can see if it's just not running the shutdown 
code or another part of the code.
Also, I'm not sure that it matters, but I have an LU64 Wii (from March 2009). 
Could that make things different?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

no it shouldn't make a difference . specially not since mine is from the same 
time. sep/oct 2009.

also, if the weird colours appear AFTER the dvd drive is killed then its 
stm/ios doign something weird :/

Original comment by dac...@gmail.com on 18 Oct 2010 at 7:07

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Well, I do have Darkcorp installed, so I guess that would make a difference. 
Also, can you make a special version that makes the Wii drive blink at 
shutdown? It would help us figure out if the code is working.

I don't mean to bump this issue after 2 weeks, but I just uninstalled 
priiloader and it appears that the random color screen issue disappeared. I 
wonder if it's the IOS the system menu runs on? Would it be safe to reinstall 
IOS80 and see if that fixes it?

well that just proves something is pooped in the shutdown but i dont know what
ill check it out once my installer is working again >_>

No random color here but I see a black screen when wii is on standby mode :S.
I have last version of Priiloader 0.7, I though that was a cIOS problem but I 
cleaned my wii but the problem still there :S

what are your settings(in priiloader and system menu) ? and is it always like 
that? no matter from what app you shut down?
