I'm a little confused about which MLC Restorer I download, is it the "MLCRestorerDownloader_Windows_x86_64.zip" ?

It seems to get stuck on the Rednand Config screen. Any idea what could possibly cause this freeze up?

Maybe your old IOSU is causing problems.
Download the latest OSv10 using JNUSTool, we only need the fw.img from that.
Code:
java -jar JNUSTool.jar 000500101000400A
Rename the fw.img from the OSv10 just downloaded to ios_orig.img and put it on the SD card.
Then try again using Patch (sd) and boot sdmc:/ios_orig.img redNAND in minute.

JNUSTool needs the common key, you can extract it from your otp.bin using this tool: https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/WiiUCommonKeyExtractor/releases/tag/v1

Where can I find the JNUSTool? I tried Googling it, but there's multiple versions I found with no clear indication which one is the right one

If you mean remove "wafel_setup_mlc.ipx" and then run "Patch (sd) and Boot redNAND" again with the log file? I tried that and nothing happened.

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will

    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
