Dump Mii NAND is a tool that allows you to create a backup of the NAND (the internal memory) of your vWii or Wii in BootMii format (nand.bin). This is useful for preserving important system files and settings in case of system failure or for use with other homebrew applications.
Note: Do not install your vWii NAND dump on your Wii. It will brick your Wii.
User guide
To use this Dump Mii NAND, simply run the DOL file and wait. The Dump Mii NAND utilizes AHB access to load the dumper onto Starlet/Starbucks and dump the data to the SD card, similar to how Nintendont works.
If it does not have AHB access, it will use the BootMii IOS to run the dump. This can be installed using the HackMii installer on a normal Wii or with the WAD file provided on the download page for a Wii U using a compatible IOS236 or WAD manager.
Note that the process takes approximately 50 minutes to complete and cannot be cancelled without cutting power.
The dump will be saved to sd:/nand.bin and the keys to sd:/keys.bin, unless a custom path is specified in the meta.xml file.
It is recommended to not remove the SD card during the dump to avoid corrupting the file.
