IOS full brick - This type of brick is still very prevalent. It would do this every time the Wii is turned on, creating a full brick. However, if a Wii was in a semi bricked state, it would show an Opera error. Normally, when you boot the Wii or return to Wii Menu with a missing or damaged SYSCONF, it would take you through the initial setup screen again. It can happen when SYSCONF is missing or damaged. This brick is similar to a semi brick, except it happens as soon as you turn on the Wii. System Menu full brick - Nowadays this brick isn’t seen too often. The symptom of this brick is the Settings menu showing an Opera error message. Semi bricks are caused by a mismatch between the System Menu region and the actual region settings of the Wii.

The most common symptom of a banner brick is a System files are corrupted error message when trying to load the System Menu.

While I won’t explain boot2 entirely in detail here, as I’ve done it in other posts, let’s just say that it’s hard to damage boot2 unless you’re intentionally trying to, which means that BootMii as boot2 will almost always work. It places itself at the earliest part of the Wii boot process that can be modified, boot2. Because it piggybacks off the System Menu, there are still situations when even this protection will fail, and it can easily be wiped out by a System Update.īootMii installed as boot2 - This is the holy grail of Wii brick protection. While it’s has fair protection, and definitely is highly recommended to install, it’s still not perfect. It essentially piggybacks off of the System Menu, and can still load in certain situations where the System Menu isn’t able to load. Priiloader - Priiloader is better than BootMii installed as an IOS. The only real point of having BootMii as IOS is to make a NAND dump.
