I needed to use the Gamecube controller for this since no WiiMote would sync.

I inserted an SD card prepared with Bootmii and used the option in Priiloader to launch Bootmii as IOS (since I hadn’t been able to install it as boot2 when I first got the Wii). I held the reset and power buttons at the same time to boot to Priiloader.

The TV did detect a signal but the screen would just stay black.įortunately, I had Priiloader installed on it. That was the last time it ever boot normally.Įvery time I tried to boot it afterwards it would show the green LED, the blue LED on the front panel would flash once, and the fan would spin up, but there would be no audio or video on the TV screen and no WiiMote would sync to it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a WiiMote with me at the time so I turned it off. I went ahead and tried cleaning it up a bit with cotton swabs and some alcohol and actually succeeded in getting it to boot. I disassembled it to check and found that it was absolutely covered in rust on the inside. It was just about a week ago that I had my first opportunity to see if it had been damaged. I took the Wii, placed it in some bubble wrap, and put it in a box that went straight to a storage facility along with everything else that was in the apartment. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t have a chance to retrieve some stuff though. My place was not safe to enter for months and still isn’t. This includes a Gamecube controller, which I found out was necessary for this process. My controllers and WiiMotes were in a box on a high shelf so they were fine. My Wii console, AV cables, and power brick were destroyed. That’s why I wanted to see if there was some way of recovering my save data and copying it to my replacement Wii. The thing that’s impossible to replace is the save data. Replacing the hardware is easy since a Wii is only about 60 to 70 USD these days and will presumably just continue to drop in price since the Wii U came out. So other than all my furniture and my apartment itself one of the various items that was destroyed in Hurricane Sandy was my Wii. Believe it or not, this image has a happy ending.
