YaWnD: Yet Another Wii NAND Dumper - v0.1
June 19th, 2008
Posted by king_td
Redbird over at elotrolado.net has released another Wii NAND dumper, which dumps the contents of your Wii’s flash to your front SD card. This differs from previous NAND dumpers, as it is not decrypting the file system, only creating a 512 MB “wiiflash.img” file. This could be used along with an NAND programmer and an Infectus chip to restore your Wii to a previous state.
From the translated release notes:
You wonder why another NAND dumper was created when they already exist. These are my reasons:
1. The Waninkoko of SD does not work on the front. In addition, I was for me from about 300MB and then writes very slow, almost no progress, takes minutes to download another MB.
2. The Nuvalo of SD writes in the front, but no work for me since the Homebrew Channel doesn’t support it. In addition, makes me nervous to be counting the bytes missing, filling the entire screen …
3. I wanted to learn something simple and useful to me outside.
Why use YaWnD:
1. SD wrote in the front.
2. Use Wiimote.
3. It can be used from the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and returns to it so clean.
4. It uses the latest release of devkitPPC r15 and bookstores libOGC, which should be compatible with future updates of HBC.
5. Reports of what it does fill the screen without too.
Above all, let me take this opportunity to thank the work of developers Homebrew Channel, DevkitPPC and libOGC in which I have based, with special mention of Marcan, who occasionally goes by here and has my full respect. And, of course, not forgetting Nuvalo, which was the one who hung the source that helped me to see how to access the NAND easily.
And now the warning: the program is provided “as is” without any express or implied warranty. The user uses it on his own responsibility and only for lawful purposes of obtaining a backup of the data contained in the flash of their Wii.
