Errant pixels on Wii

[Level42]

Wow, you explained that better than the entire site does

Guess what.....I mailed the seller.......told me both DIP switches should be turned OFF for Europe, while what I though it was was ON in the manual.....he said it was "pretty unclear" in the manual (no kidding !).

Tried the config discs and guess what, only the very first one that I burned on my Mac worked ! HAH !.....

Now, how the heck do I select the settings in the config menu. Wii mote doesn't seem to work with it. Not that I need to change anything (I guess) I just want to know it works. Do I understand clearly that I can now still update the wii with official Nintendo updates or not ?

I guess in what you explained you are talking about updates for the Flatmod ?

Now.....I need a backup from one of my games to test......

What you want to do is keep a loose eye on the forums and wait until you get the green light to do official updates.  It's risky updating before others have taken the chance and tested.

Ok

Just tried a first backup and it works fine   

If only the pictures on the manual would have been a bit clearer, that would have saved me a lot of hassle....

Maybe it needs a gamecube controller? Or you can try pressing the reset button. Short presses for "next" and long presses for "select".

I just can't imagine why something so basic isn't in the manual...

Stupid me, I should have known: OS X can do ISO burning straight out of the box with Disc Utility.....no other software necessary.

Packaged ISO burners like that tend to default to options that aren't good for consoles.  Better off using the recommended software rather than play with 45 check boxes to figure out why your console isn't like it this time.
