So, I was re-installing Wiilink on my personal wii (I got rid of homebrew for no aperent reason, but re modded it just because.) And I got to the step where you needed to patch the wii message board. When I went to that however, it just stayed stuck on the patching screen and its been stuck like that for _AGES_. I tried turning it off and on again and it’s still stuck. What should I do.

Why not try reinstalling the Wii Message Board?

The Wii Message Board isn’t a seperate channel/app it is part of the system menu. Reinstallnig the system menu won’t fix his problem.

Is it stuck when it says “patching…” or something like that?
