Falek, it appears that I bricked my vWii. I can only guess that simply because I accidentally ran a batch IOS installer for the old Wii CIOS files which brought my vWii to a black screen of death. I can, however, access the vWii filesysystem using FTP everywhere and Filezilla. I don't have a NAND backup or keys and yes, I know, it's a pretty screwed up situation but I'm sure there's a way to restore the vWii NAND (I hope) to a clean state so I can properly do a NAND/keys backup (like a good boy) so I wonder if you can point me in the right direction. I have read around you can download IOS files using WUSD but when I try that I get the "hashes did not match" error. I can only assume this is happening because I did not include the proper key.txt file in the root directory of the executable file. Am I in the right path here? I know I should have not installed Wii IOSes on a vWii file system, it was an accident so I am asking for mercy and for the necessary knowledge so I can offer my daughter some endless entertainment...not to mention that my wife is pissed...pending your comments.
