hi to everyone, first of all great site, now down to bussiness
we have the following bannerbomb softmod in our wii
up until yesterday it worked almost fine apart from the fact that it would not let me play a couple of the new games, ie; wii resor5t, sims agent, and ashes 09
anyway my hubby updated the wii yesterday and now it wont let us load anything, just a black screen.
At this moment in time i am pulling my hair out, can anyone advise me PLEASE

If you updated yesterday, you likely updated to the 4.2 firmware. Nintendo updated boot2 on this firmware, and it likely got corrupted when you updated. If this is what happened, there is nothing you can do, other than sending it back into Nintendo for repair.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. If you can still play games on the Wii, then it is not boot2 that is corrupted.

What kind of SD card are you using?

my hubby has just been reading that yesterday the 29th sept nintendo decided to update and smash the homebrew scene, so we have to wait for the really brainy people outhere, you no who you are, to find a way round this

I have a 2GB SanDisk card, and it works. If you are on 4.2, then Bannerbomb will not currently work. The creator of it (comex) says that a new version of Bannerbomb should be available soon, that will work on 4.2. You can find information on the 4.2 update here...

In addition, if you have Super Smash Brothers Brawl and/or LEGO Indiana Jones, you can try the following exploits...
