If you want to use Dolphin NAND Generator, you must first use this program, connect online, and wait 1 week for your NAND to be activated. Wiimm implemented this to discourage cheating, and there's nothing I can do to work around it. Version 3 released! Cross-platform, open-source, much faster, does not require ModMii. Hi guys, Tech James here,For this tutorial, I’ll be show you guys how to install PriiLoader onto your Nintendo Wii, and create a NAND Backup using BootMii. Soldering many wires to the Wii's motherboard; In order to use a NAND Programmer/Infectus to rewrite the flash directly you will need to know your Wii's NAND keys. WC24 title booting. WC24 title booting can be used to fix banner bricks. The types of bricks this can fix is similar to the 'recovery mode' menu. Wii console; Wii firmware version 4.3 (open the Wii system options, and this appears at the top-right). I backed up my nand and completed step 5 I got up to get my controller. Wii console with System Menu version 4.3 Method 2 only An SD card (Best results are with non-SDHC cards) formatted to FAT(32). Part 1: Launching the HackMii Installer. The HackMii installer is the installation tool that we can use to install the Homebrew Channel; which will allow us to launch Homebrew in a convenient way.


Pre 1.0 (Version 0) - Remnants of this System Menu were found on the leaked 'Wii Startup Disc' NAND. It is unknown which IOS runs this menu. It could be IOS4v1 (remnants of this IOS were also found on the leaked NAND). There are no known images of this Menu. Essentially, nothing is known about this menu except that it did exist and it was only available for use during Factory setup.

Pre 1.0 (Version 1) - Also known as the Wii Startup Disc Menu. Some pre-release Wiis were shipped with this menu (and the Wii Startup Disc), for certain stores to setup the Wii to install the 1.0 System Menu. The Menu contains a image of the Wii and Startup Disc, with messages (in English, French, Spanish) instructing you to insert the Disc to setup the Wii. Menu runs on IOS4v3.

1.0J 1.0U 1.0E (Versions ??, 33, ??) - Came on most pre-release Wiis and on a small amount of 'Launch Day' Wiis. On the Wii Settings, there is no version number on the top right. Came with minimal channels (such as Mii channel). WiiConnect24 option was disabled. There were no options to change Country on the 1.0U Version. 1.0U and 1.0E runs on IOS9v516. While 1.0J runs on a version of IOS10 which we do not currently have for retail Wii's at this moment.

2.0J 2.0U 2.0E (Version 130, 97, 128) - Most Launch Day (American) Wiis came with this Menu. 2.0 allowed the ability to choose Country of residence, parental control settings added, ability to rearrange channels, and added SD card support for savegames. More basic channels included. For the 1.0 Wiis, an update was available to upgrade to 2.0U (needed to be done in order to play games, so update was basically forced). 2.0U Menu Release date (also release date of Wii) is Nov 19, 2006. 2.0J was released on Dec 2, 2006. 2.0E was released for Australian Wiis released on Dec 7, 2006, and for European Wiis on Dec 8, 2006. 2.0 Menus run on IOS11v10.

Error 003 introduced: If a region changed (hacked) Korean Wii updates to 4.2, Error 003 will appear.

NAND Flash Memory is the built in memory of the Wii console. It houses save data, downloaded channels, and the Wii Menu. Some games may require files only found in a full NAND dump to work correctly. The easiest way to do that is with BootMii. For alternate methods, see the forum thread.

Dumping NAND with BootMii

BootMii Dumping

To dump NAND with BootMii, you'll need:

  • A homebrewed console with BootMii installed
  • A SD card

Access BootMii through the Homebrew Channel. Use a GameCube Controller or the Power and Reset buttons to navigate through the BootMii menus, as detailed here. Select Options (gears icon) on the far right. Select Backup NAND (Green arrow from chip to the SD card), and wait until it completes. Once completed, remove the SD card and put it into your system. You should see a file named nand.bin on the SD Card. If you do, your NAND has been backed up.

Automatic Import with Dolphin 5.0-3416 or newer

Select Tools > Import BootMii NAND Backup. Dolphin will decrypt and unpack the NAND. Device credentials and system files required for network services emulation will also be extracted automatically.

Manual Import

If you are unable to import your NAND automatically or simply wish to browse the contents without installing to Dolphin, then here are steps to manually extract your NAND.

  • Note that a manually imported NAND does not work with Wiimmfi; you must follow the instructions in Automatic Import instead. If your Dolphin version does not have this option, update to a newer build.

Extracting NAND files on Linux

  1. Extract the AES IV from keys.bin: dd if=keys.bin of=aes-iv bs=1 skip=360 count=16
  2. Extract the per-console NAND key from keys.bin: dd if=keys.bin of=nand-key bs=1 skip=344 count=16
  3. Decrypt the NAND image: openssl enc -d -aes-128-cbc -in nand.bin -out nand-decrypted.bin -K $(hexdump -v -e '/1 '%02X' < nand-key) -iv $(hexdump -v -e '/1 '%02X' < aes-iv) -nopad
  4. Unpack the decrypted NAND image using zestig. The zestig source code can be downloaded from here.

Extracting NAND files on Windows

Use NAND Tools to extract the files from nand.bin. This package includes the following:

  • cmd.lnk
  • nand-aes-dump.c
  • nand-aes-dump.exe
  • NAND-bin2raw.exe
  • zestig.exe
Wii Nand 4.3Nand

Place the files nand.bin and keys.bin that you've acquired from the last section into the working directory, open cmd.lnk (A shortcut file that will open a command prompt in the current directory), and then type the following commands into the prompt:

Step #CommandDescription
1 nand-aes-dump.exe Extracts the AES key from your nand.bin into a file called nand-key.bin.
2 NAND-bin2raw.exe nand.bin nand_dec.bin Performs decryption on nand.bin, and writes the output to a file named nand_dec.bin
  • The command prompt window will appear silent. This may take a while depending on your storage performance.
3 zestig.exe nand-key.bin nand_dec.bin nand Extracts everything from nand_dec.bin and places it into a new folder called 'nand'.
4 exit Closes your command prompt.

After this is finished, a new folder nand should be created in the working directory.

Placing the NAND files into Dolphin

  1. Dolphin versions before 5.0-4416 can't take the original SYSCONF file from real consoles, it has its own specially made SYSCONF file in Wiishared2sys. Use it to overwrite on top of the original SYSCONF file in nandshared2sys (under NAND tools' working directory).
  2. Finally, place everything from inside nand into the Wii subdirectory.
