OK, so a while ago, I wanted to hack my vWii and I followed Truth's tutorial here :
https://gbatemp.net/threads/simple-guide-to-install-cios-on-vwii-backup-nand-and-keys.339890/
The game I had to allow the hack, was Lego infdiana Jones.
After performing the hack, seemingly with no problems, I used Wiiflow to test some backups from an NTFS usb drive (ntfs, cool!) and they worked, but not 100% of the time. Sometimes it would just hang in a black screen... I thought maybe NTFS mode being so cool wasnt working properly and formated to WBFS and loaded the games this way. I must say this worked better, I think 100% of the time they loaded OK.
And now come the problems, when I wanted to try some emulators and I take the SD to PC to load it. So I try to copy over the stock NAND backup file and it is unreadable, can't be copied over.
PAUSE and question here. Am I screwed? Is there no way ever to return the vWii to stock state? os is a stock nand image rebuildable if you have the keys or anything else?
Anyway, moving on, I loaded a Gameboy and a SNES emulator along with a couple of game roms for each. I install the channels and trying to load the emulators results in black screen and Wii hangs. I can't do anything not even shut it down without pulling the power cable...
So I thought maybe this "corrupted" SD is causing problems, and I went on and bought a brand new 2Gb SD Transchend that has great reviews on compatibility with Wii. Loaded the same stuff in it, but still the same problem...
So my questions are
1) As I asked before about the stock nand, is the information lost forever or can I rebuild it somehow?
2) Why I get the black screen hand in the emulators?
3) The problems in WiiFlow were caused because NTFS mode is not very stable or maybe they have to do with the emulator problems? As it performed the same thing basicaly, black screen and hang
