Recently I've been have minor problems with my Wii. WiiConnect24 Standby Connection freezes it upon start up and requires me to unplug my Wii several times to have it work. My temp solution to that is just turning the WiiConnect24 (Standby) off, but I'm kind of disappointed that I can't use a somewhat useful feature on my Wii.

My secondary problem would be my corrupted Zelda OOT VC Game not working and causing problems with the channel menu options. When I click on it, it just does not load and freezes my Wii to a black screen while unsyncing my Wii Remote. It's not the signal problem that some people get on higher TVs, it's a complete system problem. When I went to go erase and redownload, deleting the VC game took so long that I had to turn off my Wii manually for it to erase, at the cost of my Channel Settings Menu (Not main system menu) freezing if I don't redownload the title. I've tried redownloading it several times and using different saves, my Zelda OOT VC Game just doesn't work. Keep in mind I got this from the Wii Shop Channel the whole time, and when I redownloaded it, it took up an extra 1 or 2 hundred blocks.

Yet weird, my Super Mario All-Stars custom WAD works just fine.

I do have the Homebrew Channel, and the only things I installed were the 3.4 WAD Fixes/Unblocker (cios_fix.wad, wadmanagerios16, and IOS Downgrader), and IOS60 (To allow WADs to be played off of the SD Card for System Menu 4.0.


If you've been helpful and patient enough to read all that I thank you, and I ask of what I should do:

Should I back up my saves, photos, and channels on my Wii and format it? Would this get rid of of my WAD Fixes Installs/IOS60 Installs? My friend said my Wii flash memory may be going bad and I should send it into Nintendo. I'm just afraid they'll fine me for finding homebrew and 1 WAD. I really don't know what do to or how to fix this, so could some of you guys give me some advice?

So what should I do? Also is there a way to extract my Brawl and Mario Kart saves without using the twilight hack?
