I really hate to go and post a topic about how stupid I am. But I have to do it.
I have read through the stickies, and I don't know if there is something I'm over looking or if I'm just an airhead.
This is the first time I have ever used one of these, the most complex thing I have ever used in...
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)
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
