Wii Backup / "Pink Fish" Disc Released
Interesting, while dangerous and already duplicated with homebrew

​

The Wii Backup / "Pink Fish" Disc has been released by a piracy group onto the internet. Currently, much of what it can do has already been done by homebrew coders. Please do not link to any downloads for this, as it is Nintendo copyrighted!

Spoiler: More info

The "Wii Backup Disc" is a service disc apparently used inside Official Nintendo Repair shops to transfer personal data like savegames and console settings between Wiis as part of a repair.

It's not entirely clear what it does; something it does *not* do -- even though it appears it might -- is allow VC games to be transferred between consoles. Instead, the user is told to redownload the games from the Wii Store (for free).

Note: "Change WiiId" is mostly useless. WiiId is only used as your "Wii Number" that you give to your friends so they can send you Wii Mail. When you pick it, it assigns you a new random ID.

It also doesn't boot on full bricked Wiis and it's unlikely that it repairs half bricked Wiis since delete all only deletes savegames/settings and not any VC content (Weather/News/Games..) or the firmware.

Hopefully, this can be useful in the future,
but as of right now I can not see anything that this
can do that would be useful to us.

But YaY to Warez!
proving that is it can be put in digital form,
it can be pirated!
