    Hacking Unusual issue with finding save files in Nand Dump

    When I use the Nand Extract program, it shows that only 17mb are in use. Almost all of it shows up as unused grey blocks. Very weird. How could that happen? Is that pretty conclusive that the data is just not there for some reason?

    Hacking Unusual issue with finding save files in Nand Dump

    Fair enough. But I wonder why the extraction programs can't seem to parse it out into those file folders. I tested my previous Nand backup (the one I used to restore my system), and all of that data could be separated out into those folders. So I wonder why this current backup won't do it.

    Hacking Unusual issue with finding save files in Nand Dump

    My wii recently went south for reasons unclear. So I went ahead and made a backup and then restored it to an old backup Nand that I have from like 1 1/2 years ago (I've never really been in the habit of regularly making backups, and I it seems I might pay for it). I was hoping I could extract my...

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    Thanks. Also, out of curiosity does it matter what the wad files are named? Or can I leave them with the names they got when I acquired them from NUSD?

    Quick question, I've got the following wad files now for IOS30, IOS36, IOS50 and system menu 3.2: 000000010000001E-NUS-v1040.wad 0000000100000002-NUS-v289.wad 0000000100000024-NUS-v1042.wad 0000000100000032-NUS-v4889.wad When I go into wad manager, it asks me to "select IOS version to use"...

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    Armageddan, Actually cBoot2 is allowing me to get to the system menu. Now the issue is to fix is the fact that I can't get back to the system menu after I launch any of the channels, which forces me to reboot the system every time I want to change channels essentially. I think with the...

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    Thanks for all the help, I'll go ahead and follow WiiPower's instructions. I'll grab IOS36v1042 and IOS30v1040 from NUSD and install them in sequence. Then I'll try to install system menu 3.2 (US version). Thanks

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    How would it be a PAL version? Is this a widespread issue with North American punchout discs?

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    For what it's worth, I'm fairly certain that Punchout was NTSC. I rented it from a local blockbuster here in Seattle, and it even says on the disc that it's for use with North American consoles. So unless there's been some documented instances of North American copies of punchout having PAL...

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    You guys have been great. But I still need a little bit more of your guidance. I'm still stuck at the above point, which is: cBoot2 has the curious affect of allowing me to get to the system menu (not sure why, but it does), but I can't get back to the system menu once I've launched a particular...

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    Okay, I used NUSD and downloaded the following file: 0000000100000032-NUS-v4889.wad (IOS50) Do I need to un-install anything first, or is it safe to just try going into wad manager and installing the above file?

    Hacking Wii Brick, need some out of the box thinking

    Strange, when I put in wadmanager in the SD root as boot.dol it just does the exact same thing it did before. I get the weird text flicker on start up, and then it just goes to the health warning screen and then the system menu as usual. ??
