If you have the correct files on your SD card, bootmii should start when the wii is turned on and a NAND backup should be available at the mune.
My problem is I have BootMii installed as an ISO on a LU64 V4u Wii.
When I launch BootMii from the HomeBrew channel I don't see an option to backup or restore the NAND.
I can't install BootMii as boot2 because of the type of system.
How do I do it on this type of system?

It's called IOS (probably Input-Output System). Anyways, go to the Gears, and then go the Pic with the Green arrow. Tada, you can Backup your NAND. Is it so hard to look around?Sacohen9665 said:
Important: This won't realy help you!!! IOS-BootMii Users are far away from save, even if they have a backup. Don't do anything dangerous with your Wii, because your Backup probably won't help you if something goes wrong.
Hi Blue-K...so basically a IOS-BOOTMII nand backup is useless cos i cannot be restored?...but the backup is good yeah?...so whats the point then why wont my 3.2e let me install as boot2..is there a way around this?..Can you tell me which wii is compatable with boot2 so i can buy one and get shut of this one i have know...Cheers Bud...

Yup, as a Backup-Solution, the BootMii as IOS is useless (there was a Thread about it, all/nearly all agreed on that, I think). Because IF you would be able to launch BootMii (which is pretty hard if you bricked), there would be other ways to fix it. And you can't restore your Backup from the IOS. IOS BootMii=Homebrew, no Brick Protection. Link to Thread with more infos: HERE. Now:
-There's (currently) no way around this on Wiis that won't let you install it. Quote from Team Twiizers:
QUOTEAt first, BootMii will not be compatible with those Wiis. A modified boot2 will not run on them, period.
-I don't know exactly...for shure the first ones (Launch-Wiis) that were released, because I can confirm that myself
But IF you want BootMii only as a Brick-Protection (which is obvious), I would say:
-Stay always on the safe side
-Use Wanins (upcoming) NAND-Emulator for the crazy things
And you should be realy safe
I have read that it is possible (and has been done) to unsolder the NAND chip and use a programmer to restore a NAND backup to the NAND chip.
Of course most don't have the equipment or knowledge to do this but I am sure you could find someone online that could get the job done.
So I would suggest making a NAND backup even if you can only install Bootmii as an IOS.

How would one do if one had a bootmii/ios install, generally? Is the combination with preloader the easiest and safest way to get a restoreable nand backup for brick recovery? My concern is if I brick while getting preloader up, since the readme states there is a risk, I would be in deep serious trouble? But on the other hand, is there an option?
I made three backups yesterday on my friends 4.2E with latest Bootmii. I had some bad blocks which is normal iirc. Every backup verified correctly. but I compare 1:st with 2:nd, 1:st with 3:rd and 2:nd with 3:rd and none match.
Keys.bin is 1024 byte and nand.bin is 553649152. Same size on all three backups.
I compared them with diff in Linux. It scares me a bit that it says file differ on all the files. Can I be confident it is a correct backup? I think it might be the "charset" the fools diff. When I open the file in vim, it's the same amount of lines and character, but it looks encrypted. My thought is that diff-utils can't handle that.
Any ideas?

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
