IWATA IS MY TRUE LORD AND SAVIOR

[L___E___T]

Good luck, will await to hear news...

[petik1]

I'll check in tomorrow to report whether or not the update does anything. Perhaps if it does a check to see any modified system files/ homebrew programs in both Wii and Wii U mode, it'll delete and replace them like it did with Wii updates. But there are too many "ifs" right now to tell, considering this is the first time something like this will be tried.

If not, I'm SOL, and I'll cough up the money if they offer to fix it.

EDIT: Is there any reason why Nintendo wouldn't be sniffing out homebrew files? This may be my saving grace. I'll just try not to get my hopes up.

It's amazing how Nintendo can disappoint with even system updates. Seriously, Nintendo? Just release the damned thing.

[petik1]

Well, the update is out. I'll update in about 45 minutes to report whether it fixed it or not.

Please, keep my Wii U in your prayers.

EDIT: God damnit, Nintendo. Don't scare me like that. My GamePad screen went off for a few seconds while updating.

Nope, didn't work. Looks like I'm sending it to Nintendo.

[tonev]

So what happened?

[petik1]

I...haven't called yet. I'll get on it tomorrow.

[tonev]

Because there is a way to fix it. Do you have priloader installed?

[petik1]

Theres isn't. Priiloader, bootmii, etc. don't currently work in the Wii mode on Wii U.

[tonev]

So any news about it?

[petik1]

On the phone right now! Their hold music sounds like something from Metroid!

Alright, so off to Nintendo it goes. They said it'll take 1-2 weeks, so we'll see what happens.

[petik1]

It's on its way to California, I should know what's going to happen by next Friday.

[ericj]

Sorry, gotta ask, but why did you think this would actually work in the first place?

[petik1]

I don't have any other option. I consider it a learning experience.

[petik1]

Update. It finally reached California. So far the Repair Order page says it's under warranty, with $0.00 repair price. We'll see where this goes.

[L___E___T]

If that works out for you consider yourself very lucky

Then again, Nintendo really need to look after every single WiiU customer they have.

[petik1]

What I'm thinking is that since it's Wii mode, they won't be as strict. Perhaps they just see that it doesn't work and transfer the data to a new console or repair the OS. Then again, you'd know more about the process than I do.

It would really make my day year if they would overlook my terrible, terrible mistake. May Iwata's face shine upon me in favor.

Stupid question, what does ASSY mean?
