217w ago - Disorder has released a Nintendo Wii homebrew WAD installer application that will, like the name implies, installs a bunch of WAD files at the same time - one after the other.

This could be handy for some people so get it below.

Im sure we can more automate the CFW install or the Unbrick process

218w ago - This is a TUT to unbrick your Wii with the internal Rescue Menu. You can do this with and without Starfall.

Without Starfall you have to MOD a GC Controller to press all 4 ways of the digi pad to same time and you need a Original Game Disc with a update on it, higher as your installed FW. If you have a Modchip set to autoboot discÂ's than you can use a backup instead of a Original disc. For Starfall you dono need to MOD your GC Pad.

And you could use Backups if the disc size will match the 4,37GB. I self have testet the semi unbrick disc but it does not work without a modchip. There for I made the "Universal Unbrick Disc" becouse the disc will match the 4,37GB and it hase the FW 3.3 update + the WAD Manager as main.dol in the game partition.I will show you how to start both rescue menuÂ's, with an without starfall and i will use the universal unbrick disc with starfall to upgrade (unbrick) my Wii to FW3.3.

When you could use it?

If you run into a brick and your Wii does not start the menu any more but will boot (green led and spinning drive) you have a good chance to be able to start the Wii internal rescue menu to install a FW update or the system menu.wad + IOS via WAD Manager what will unbrick your Wii if you lucky. If your Wii does not boot any more than your only chance...

218w ago - This app dumps the NAND to USB and SD. Before you can use USB 2.0 you have to install the "modded" version of the USB 2.0 cIOS (cIOS rev7 + USB 2.0), don't worry it, won't overwrite anything, it installs as IOS222.

Download: WiiND v2

To extract the dump you need your NAND AES KEY, you can get that by using the "Key Grabber" included it's xyzzy but it dumps nand-key.bin and common-key.bin to sd card. When you run the program there will be a nand-key .bin in the sd card (also a common-key but that's not necessary for unpacking but can be useful for other things )

Copy the nand-key.bin to c:keys (make the folder keys on your c drive if it doesn't exist) and then just run "extract.exe" and select the nand-dump.img file. It will copy the nand.img to the folder where extract.exe is and extract it!
