+{: .notice--info}
+
+### Requirements
+
+* A Wii
+* A USB drive
+* [Simple IOS Patcher for Wii mini](https://oscwii.org/library/app/SimpleIOSPatcher_Mini)
+* [RealWnD for Wii mini](https://oscwii.org/library/app/RealWnD_Mini)
+* [Xyzzy Mod](https://oscwii.org/library/app/xyzzy-mod)
+
+### Instructions
+
+#### Section I - Dumping and Patching IOS 36
+
+1. Download both the Simple IOS Patcher for Wii mini and RealWnD for Wii mini, and extract both zip files to the root of your USB drive.
+
+1. Insert the USB drive into your Wii mini, and launch the Simple IOS Patcher for Wii mini from the Homebrew Channel.
+1. It should start to automatically detect your IOS 36 version and proceed to patch it into slot 236. It will also give you the IOS 236 wad file on your USB.
+
+#### Section II - Dumping the NAND
+
+1. Launch RealWnD for Wii mini from the Homebrew Channel.
+1. It should automatically detect IOS 236 on your Wii mini and apply some runtime patches to begin dumping your NAND.
+1. When it is done, you will have 3 new files on your USB:
+
+```
+WiiFlash_n_ECC.img
+WFD_XXX_YY.img
+WiiFlash.log
+```
+
+The `WiiFlash_n_ECC.img` is your NAND image. The other two files are "error" data, and are useless.
+
+#### Section III - Dumping the Wii mini's Keys
+
+1. Launch xyzzy mod from the Homebrew Channel.
+1. Select `USB device`
+    + It should start retriving your console information.
+1. When it is done, press any button to exit.
+    + You will have 4 new files on your USB:
+
+    ```
+    bootmii_keys.bin
+    device.cert
+    keys.txt
+    otp.bin
+    seeprom.bin
+    ```
+
+For now, only the `bootmii_keys.bin` file is required.
+
+
+#### Section IV - Optional: Upload your NAND to Dolphin Emulator
+
+1. Connect the USB to your PC.
+1. Open Dolphin Emulator on your PC.
+1. Select the tools tab, and in the dropdown menu, go to "manage NAND", and then select "Import BootMii NAND Backup".
+1. Select the dropdown to the right next to the file name bar and then choose the "All Files" option.
+1. Locate your `WiiFlash_n_ECC.img` file and select "open".
+1. Another window will pop up asking for the keys. Locate `bootmii_keys.bin` and select open.
+
+[Continue to the Homebrew Browser](hbb)<br>
+The Homebrew Browser is a good place to get homebrew on your Wii. This is optional to install. You may need a USB hub that can be externally powered.
