Betwiin is a NAND flash conversion tool for Wii NAND images. It can re-encrypt and re-HMAC the per-console unique parts of a NAND dump from one Wii such that it will run on a second one, with the following caveats: | |||
*The version of boot1 you flash to a NAND chip must match the original one that shipped with that Wii. No exceptions. | |||
*The version of boot2 must be equal to or greated than the one most recently installed on that Wii. | |||
*No handling of bad blocks is performed; if your target NAND chip has a bad block that hits an important file required for system startup, I suggest you find a differente donor dump to start from. | |||
