Dump Mii NAND is a tool that allows users to create a backup of the NAND (the internal memory) of their 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.
The process of creating a NAND dump is relatively simple and can be done with minimal technical knowledge. With Dump Mii NAND, users can rest easy knowing that they have a backup of their Wii's NAND in case anything goes wrong.
A VERY important note: Do NOT install your vWii NAND dump on your Wii!!! It WILL brick your wii (and it doesn't matter what kind of encryption conversion you do on it either ... it just WON'T WORK.)
How To Run
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.
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.
