A system format shouldn't have done anything like this to the system.
Are you positive nothing else was done to it?
Try unplugging the system for a while then plug it back in.
Did you have Bootmii or Preloader installed?

I don't see where a system format would cause this issue.
All it would do is format all your channels and Mii from the system. It wouldn't do anything else to the system files.
Do you have a newer retail game disc that you could put in the system to see if at least game will start.
I know sometimes retail games can autoload if this is the case then you may be prompt to do a system update. Choose yes if you do.

If it works you will need to reinstall the softmod to get backups working again. Follow the 4.2 softmod guide in my sig.

gornza, start your own thread as hijacking another member's thread is a forum rule no no.
