And here I was thinking it could install factory IOS's and thus "reset" the machine so to speak to a factory state.
This disc specifically only contains IOS4 and 9, almost every Wii would already have an higher version of them :)

There is no official way to downgrade a title without uninstalling it first;

Assuming Nintendo can write a program to do that, sign it, and possibly even burn it to a disc that a consumer Wii would accept as original (or maybe they have officially chipped drives for service use) - well, a full reinstallation disc is possible, but would still be limited to cases where boot1, 2, the Wii Menu and its IOS are working
(that's in fact what the Wii Menu Installer and Uninstaller [which in fact installs the NDEV menu] does on a developer console!)

To do more than that would require knowing the nand encryption key, or flashing a generic factory image and replacing the GPU with a brand new one with blank OTP...

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
