hmm... your in a pickle. you can formatt it all but you lose all locked saves (can be transfered) and VC games.

I'm also curious except for the keeping bought games part. I have no bought VC or WW games and any ones I installed were just to demo and were soon removed with WAD Manager. What needs to be done to remove all traces of such things? Same for the Backup Manager, I've uninstalled the CIOS above 200, but what else would need to be done?

sorry for the amateur Qs

Format. You can redownload your purchased games again.

my understanding is that the wii shop keeps track of your purchases through a unique console ID, not local data, so I'm pretty sure formatting would still successfully wipe everything.

I've been wrong before though...

Put simply, as jam3972 stated the Wii Shop Channel only tracks your purchases by the console's unique Serial number or some other possible ID linked to just your Wii. And this purchase list is only tracked/modified through Nintendo's servers so it only tracks legit purchases.

NOW. Nintendo COULD in some fashion track pirated channels through some sort of ticket inventory function, but I do not think there is any functionality for such currently. In addition, if the current wad installers modify the ticket id's in any way, that would also not count as a 'pirated' channel to Wii's servers. Though they could just as easily claim since the ticket id DIDN'T come from their server, it obviously must be pirated. But that is mostly speculation on the end there.

When you format the Wii, AFAIK, it comes as it came from the factory. Same version from the factory, no saves, no channels, no hidden installed wads, patches, etc.. Fresh Wii. Go to the shop channel and you can re-download all your original LEGIT purchased channels without repaying for them since it still sees the same Wii console.

If I were you I'd get an SD card and copy over all my saves that I'd want to keep. Once that's done, I'd format my Wii. Then, you could copy the saves back over from your SD card and re-download your VC-WW games off the Wii Shop Channel!

Use GeckoOS 1.07b and use Rebooter and remove the copy flag.

Copy all saves over, format, copy saves back.

Well, What you can do is copie everything you would like to keep onto your sd card using the Wii Menu or the Homebrew channel.
Once you have copied everything you can click on Format Wii System Memory or something like that the clears everything when you are selling you wii to someone.
Then after you will return to the state when you open ur wii.
install the homebrew channel and copie everything you backuped "saves" 'mii" and if you want to keep the homebrew channel keep it otherwise u can delete it and start anew.

at least thats what i think.
