|
|
* [Simple IOS Patcher for Wii mini](https://oscwii.org/library/app/SimpleIOSPatcher_Mini)

### 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 5 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.
|
|

|
|
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.
