- If you have the Homebrew Channel installed (which you almost certainly do), then use Any Title Deleter or, for a more user-friendly experience, try the other versions.
I haven't done this myself, but theoretically, it should enable you to remove essentially anything and everything you want. Though, I would STRONGLY recommend doing a BootMii NAND backup (if you haven't already), just in case things don't go well.
As for the problems you're experiencing, I can't help, sorry. But I can say that to me, it sounds like you're "close enough" to do what you want. Sure, it'll crash on you frequently. But you didn't want the game to be playable (I realize that would make things significantly easier), you wanted to be able to record the sound effects. To me, it sounds like you can now do this, at least to a point. Sure, it will take a lot of patience (and rebooting/unplugging/etc.), but if you can play the game at all, and get what you're looking for at all, then at least you've got something (whereas before you had nothing whatsoever).
Good luck, no matter what you choose. Since I've never needed to use Any Title Deleter, I can't vouch for it. It's on WiiBrew though, so it should be at least "pretty good." Hope that helps. Mouser X over and out.

- Hi Mouser X.
Good to hear from you again. I've already deleted the softmod stuff already and I did use Any Title Deleter Mod instead of the original. The only thing nagging me is that there are two spaces where the Homebrew Channel and USB Loader GX were and I would prefer all the channels to be neat.
I have no idea how to move channels directly to those spaces, so I'll just leave it as is. I'm not bothered anymore now, I'm just going to make some figures regardless. It would've been fun to have sound effects for them, but it's something that can never be unless I had direct ties with Nintendo.
I don't really want to do anything to my Wii anymore and all that plugging and unplugging from the mains won't be good for it. I won't give up on the DS side of things though. There must be a way to do the same thing for RTG/RH and it might not crash as bad as SMG being on a cartridge an' all. Nevertheless, I appreciate all the help I was given and it was interesting to try what probably tons of gamers are doing.
Though I'm quite happy just buying games knowing that they'll work 100% and my Wii will remain "unbricked" (that really scares me as I'm really poor at the moment). Well it'll live until it's drive finally dies anyway. :P Thanks again!
Edit: Just realised I could move the channels all along. Doh!

Holding the power button for a few seconds forces the hardware to shut off nicely, if that's what you mean to do.

- Honestly, I meant to mention that. I didn't because I forgot, was too lazy to edit my post, and figured they probably weren't planning on doing it anyway (the play/crash/reboot thing). On the positive side, at least those who didn't know before, know now. Mouser X over and out.

- Actually no, "SmartOne" (lol).
If it was as easy as that I wouldn't have mentioned unplugging the mains at all. No, it crashes really bad that even holding the power button won't turn it off successfully. I KNOW how to turn off a Wii when it's working normally y'know...
Remember we're talking about playing a modified backup here! Anyway, malice aside, I'm not going to mess with it anymore. I already had to deal with the "funny drive sounds" problem before, and I don't want to do anything more to it. Maybe other people can afford to buy a new Wii if they screw theirs up with experiments, but I can't.
I'll still be able to do something cool, just without the sound effects, that's all. ^_^

You have to hold the button down for several seconds when it is frozen up, longer than you normally would.

- I have held it longer. I've mentioned I've tried the whole thing more than once. Honestly, I hate the internet sometimes for the sole reason that it's hard to make people believe you even when you're telling the truth. Can't people read? I mentioned a modified backup. Not all situations are the same, so many different variables, so many different outcomes. I already mentioned in a previous post that I did a normal backup (as in I didn't zero out any files) and it worked perfectly.
Why would I mention I had to unplug it if holding the power button actually worked? Don't you think I had common sense enough to try holding the power button for a good while? If you must know, I've held it for up to 20 seconds one time and it remained the same. It's not good to always assume things. I'm ending this now anyway as I've found someone who willing to help me with the DS sound files who I'll be chatting to shortly.
Feel free to continue posting or close the thread or whatever, as I don't have all the downloads to softmod anymore and don't intend to download them again. Like I said before, I appreciate the help and all, but I personally doubt what I want can be done. Am I assuming? Yes, as surely someone with more knowledge would've tried it already at least with a different Wii game.
I'm seriously tired of people doubting me. It's happened twice already and both I went out of my way to prove wrong (one involved money and DS Lite parts, so I had to). I may not know everything, but I know what I need to know, y'know (lol)? Case closed.

- The question I'm left to wonder about is how long you held the button down for. The reason I wonder this at all, is because I succeeded in corrupting my Wii's main IOS (I've since fixed it, but largely because I had Preloader installed). I'd turn on my Wii, and severly corrupted text would appear. The first time it happened, I couldn't even read it. Eventually, I realized it was saying something like "Your system file is corrupt. Please read the manual for more information." Even with the main "OS" corrupted, holding down the power button worked.
Who said they were doubting you? I didn't say that. What I'm doubting is that the power button was held long enough. I'm fairly certain it's 30 seconds (you mentioned 20), or longer. When my Wii crashes (it's done it a number of times with some bad Homebrew stuff), I just hold the power button button until it resets. Sometimes, this can seem like a very long time, but I can only think of once, maybe twice, where that didn't work. And those times were more likely due to impatience (not holding it long enough. It was awhile ago, so I might not have realized it needed to be held down for so long), than due to not powering off properly.
I'm sorry you got so upset over this issue. No ill feelings were meant about it, I can assure you (I know most of these people reasonably well. That's just the way they type). You're right, it's possible the Wii was messed up worse than any of us have ever screwed it up, but, at least in my case (currupted system menu?), I'm not so sure about that.
Sorry I (we, actually) couldn't help you any more. Good luck, and hopefully the DS stuff works out. Mouser X over and out.
