No, no more than for installing any other homebrew.

The risk is minimal. ;)

Hello everyone.

In a few days I'm going to downgrade my Wii I got for Christmas, which my little brother accidentally upgraded (to 3.4, I presume). Question about Starfall: if I want to be able to debrick the Wii, if I'm not mistaken, I'll need to replace the Twilight Hack beta 2 save with the beta 1, since I'll be back on 3.2 after downgrading.
Can you confirm?
If that's true, maybe you should mention it in the tutorial: more and more people with a new Wii will downgrade from 3.4, and will end up bricked with a non-working Twilight Hack...

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum I have a wii 3.4 I downgraded it to 3.2 I installed everything like you indicated in the forum and miracle everything works for backups so big thanks.
But here it comes (there had to be one), applying that I decide to install starfall as shown in the forum but having blind trust and being a newbie I do the steps as I read and at the end disaster you say you need a game cube controller to finish.
So my question is is it really essential for the end, will the wii's own controller do the job or will I have to start over from the beginning?
thanks
AND BY THE WAY ONE LAST QUESTION AND PLEASE DON'T LAUGH WHAT IS A BRICK APPARENTLY IT'S SERIOUS BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS;
AND THANKS AGAIN;
P;S SORRY FOR ALL THE SPELLING MISTAKES

No need for a Gamecube controller to install Starfall!

A Brick is characterized in two ways:

- A semi Brick: Following a bad installation of an IOS, or a channel, the wii configuration menu is blocked, no longer possible to access it.

- A Total Brick: Following a bad installation of an IOS, the wii starts with an error message, preventing access to the wii menu...

thanks to you tgames for this quick reply so if I understood correctly you only need the game cube controller if it crashes?
thanks

yes indeed, because you need to press the Y button when you start your WII, if I understood the tutorial correctly.

I installed starfall as indicated, I turned off my wii properly, and when I turn it back on there's a black screen showing 3.2 EUR, I press Y on my GC controller but nothing happens, is my wii bricked???

Edit: ah no it's fine, after 20 mins it started up on its own, when I unplugged my GC controller, my wii is really weird :? But how can I be sure starfall is installed?


Re-edit: I did everything, put in a game, unplugged my controller, plugged it back in etc.... but it stayed on 3.2 EUR even when I turned it back on but it's fine thanks anyway :)

good evening everyone,

Can the "classic" wii controller do the job since it has a Y button, or do you absolutely need the gamecube controller?
Also I read above that this controller wasn't necessary during starfall's installation, but the tutorial says it's once the controller step is done that starfall is installed:
- Turn off your Wii.
- Plug in your Gamecube controller.
- Turn on your Wii while holding the "Y" button on the controller.
- A black screen appears showing "3.2E".
- The installation of your Wii's brick protection is complete."
So what's really true?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

During starfall's installation I forgot to activate certain options like: region free wii games.

am I forced to reinstall starfall to activate this option, or is there another solution :?:

Thanks everyone

I apologize in advance if the question has already been asked, but I didn't have the courage to read all the pages just for this... :oops:

So I'm about to install Starfall, and thus permanently leave the Twilight Hack save on my console. So I'd like to know how to also keep my normal Zelda save!
Can the two saves coexist? Is there a known solution?

Thanks in advance

Keep the Twilight Hack save on your wii, and start a new game in the 2nd slot (below the Twilight hack...)

hi

thanks for this very good guide ^^


But I'm going to seem contradictory ^^^I'd like to uninstall starfall on a friend's console,
but "cleanly"?

How should I go about it? to properly erase starfall from the nand..
otherwise no doubt the preloader is visibly starfall 2.. It's made for that.. let's say.

with wii home 1.3 the perfect equation...
good evening thanks for your answers ^^

It's not complicated, you simply deactivate the options you had activated, then you can put the preloader

To uninstall starfall you select the hacks already installed and choose Uninstall with the left or right arrows on your wii controller.
