Shouldn't it be possible to get the OTP in emuNAND?

i mean, i downgrade the emuNAND to 2.1 and get the OTP here, instead of flashing it to sysNAND

if it's not possible, why?

If it was possible, it would have been done in OTPHelper instead of still needing sysNAND downgrade.
The reason why it's not is that the OTP is locked very early during the boot process (except in early firmwares like 2.1 obviously), far before menuhax triggers so it's obviously not available either in emuNAND...

OTPHelper does all that automatically, just follow Plailect's guide exactly and you should be fine.

being completely honest. What are chances that i brick even if i follow step-by-step the lastest guide?

if it's just 0% then say it, i'd not blame you if anything happens

two questions:

how can i know if AuReiNAND is blocking FIRM 0 and FIRM 1 writes?

and

is AGB_FIRM pre-patched? or do i have to patch it myself? it'd be nice if i can just install GBA games from the get-go

AuReiNand always blocks FIRM 0 and FIRM 1 writes, and AGB_FIRM is pre-patched.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?

    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.

    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
