Excellent review! well done and well explained. i also posted a review the way mutant2 mentioned and i encourage you to take a look here http://www.games-eng...spx?BoardID=123 (thanks for the link mutant2)
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
