I guess I should say that I just want to update my wii U and still have vwii, I still want to play animal crossing and other games, but I dont want to send it in.
ok if I'm not around, here are your next steps:
make a
copy of your
original nand(you only ever want to read from the original nand) (call it something like working_original.bin)
make a
copy of your
current nand(call it something like working_current.bin)
Now make 2 directories/folders in the
root directory of a drive(I'll assume it "c:" but it doesn't need to be)
one directory/folder named originalnand (so "c:\originalnand" )
one directory/folder named currentnand (so "c:\currentnand" )
use @
JoostinOnline YABDM to dump the
EVERY original IOS into a wad from the
copy of your
original nand (and don't patch anything) and place into originalnand directory/folder
use @
JoostinOnline YABDM to dump the
EVERY current IOS into a wad from the
copy of your
current nand(and don't patch anything) and place into currentnand directory/folder
Then do a md5 or sha1 of every file in both directories and post the results.(you can use something like the following)
If you are on windows, I like a program called exactfile(maybe others will have better suggestions) from:
http://www.exactfile.com/downloads/
http://www.exactfile.com/files/ExactFile-Setup.exe
If you used exactfile choose "
Create Digest" and make sure "
Include subfolders" and "
Output to file:" are both checked. Then select by "
Method and Format" either "
MD5" or "
sha1"(or "
sha1sum").
or you can use the standard fc (
file
compare) command from a
command prompt to list the differences. You can use wildcards to speed the process up(example "fc /b /v c:\originalnand\*.* c:\currentnand\*.*" without quotes) (the "/b" and "/v" options are
binary and
verify.) You can even redirect output of file compare(fc) to a file(example "fc /b /v c:\originalnand\*.* c:\currentnand\*.* > pick_a_good_filename.txt" without quotes).
Again when finished post the results.
oops hang on:
YABDM is run on the vWii (so you can use it with the
current nand to
check validity of pc program). But,you need a program for pc (that extracts exact copies of unmodified IOS's without signing/resigning them or tainting them in
ANY way).
shortcut to current version(r26) of
YABDM is
http://bluedump-mod.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/HBC/
Also it would be nice to know which vWii program is screwing with official Nintendo IOS's.
We need a reliable pc extraction program (that is not too complicated for most). I mean technically we could mount the NAND in something like wiifuse and extract the parts of the IOS but too complicated).

haven't been updated in ages (well before WiiU release)
